I recently downloaded and compiled the Xfree3.3.5 server and had the
Xfree3.3.3 server before it.  It seemed to compile ok with the make world
except I noticed in the world.log file some places that said "warning: ANSI
C forbids braced-groups within expressions.".  After I compiled it I started
running the server and it was bringing up KDE as I expected and was running
at 1024X768 in 256 color mode.  I couldn't get the color depth to increase
beyond 256 colors even when I specified -bpp 16 or -bpp 24.  When I rebooted
later the system hung-up at "Starting X Font Server:"  And wouldn't continue
booting beyond there.  So I had to use "init=/bin/sh" to get into my system
now and tried running "xfs" from within just this shell and it locked up as
well.  What can I do to remove this xfs(X Font Server) from my bootup and
how can I get X-windows up and running properly.
