Dear Compatriots,

On my system xfs is started from some init script at boot time.
However, using something like:

	 FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"

in /etc/XF86Config doesn't work: X won't start up and reports problems
(errno 111) connecting to the font server, although it's there:

[ps -elf]:
040 S xfs        431     1  0  60   0    -   803 do_sel 13:06 ? 00:00:00 xfs

I tried putting stuff n /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf but to no
avail. Anyone out there who has solved this problem.
Of course the priority is not high because it is easy to get X run
without a font server.

Thanks,
