I recently got XFree86 and installed it sucsessfully.
Then i tried to build a new Kernel with 'options FIFO'.
The kernel runs fine, even with fifos (CnewsXT uses a named pipe).
But under X, i have to type the keys very often before an echo come up
to the window (the mouse works fine anyway).
The Server dies after a few seconds-minutes with an 'unexpected signal 03'
as far as i remember.

Anyone else noticed that strange problem?
