Your xserver is configured to want a font server running; yours is likely dying for some reason. This isn't that uncommon This isn't that uncommon This isn't that uncommon This isn't that uncommon ... (re-reads message) Oh, you *did* say "font server". You reboot *which* server on Sundays? The machine? X? I assume you don't mean the font server. :-) I assume it's not simply that you don't have xfs configured to start at boot in runlevel 5.. You might want to check the xfs config file, particularly use-syslog and error-file, and think about running xfs from /etc/inittab, with -daemon. Or run memtest86 for a day or two, if you can spare the time; maybe you have bad memory. You didn't attach any relevant xfs-is-dying messages from syslog, so... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
