Not needed on X11 for the 1.5 release, since the server can handle compressed
fonts.

There must at least one view more configured than ite. You should see this on
the boot messages, e.g ite0, ite1 ... and x views configured. x must be greater
then no. of ite. /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper must be setuid root. Alternatively
you can get a graphical login if you start /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm as root.
