For everyone else's reference, this seemed to be random FFS corruption.
We clri'd XF86Config and the problems seemed to go away. ???

This is reasonably normal. If you edit your XF86Config file,
you should make sure you have the following lines:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
EndSection
(You might have otherlines in the Files section, that's fine.)
> 2.You must specify a keyboard in XF86Config
This is peculiar -- /usr/X11/bin/xf86config should have done this for you.
If you could put a copy of your XF86Config file in your Public directory
that's be appreciated. But normally you should have a keyboard
section that looks like:
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 5
ServerNumLock
EndSection
> 3.xinit: No such file or directory(errno 2): unexpected signal 13
That's bizarre, and I'm not sure what caused it.
1) What's the output of
echo $path
2) Did you create a symlink from /etc/X to the appropriate
X server (/usr/X11/bin/XF86_FOO, where FOO is the appropriate server)?
Give those a try and we'll look at your XF86Config file and see
what we can do.
