OK. I was asking because I've  always used XDM, and I expect it to
work.  That would narrow down the problem.

I'm wondering if xfs is fine, and the problem is really in startx or
xinit, or their config scripts, or some such.

Uh, you *do* have the latest /etc/rc script with the lines to actually
start xfs, don't you?  I put a copy in the 1.3_ALPHA diskimage and
etc.tar.gz but it only showed up in sup today...
