X 4.0 and fonts



I just installed X 4.0 on a new install of Slack 7.0.  The odd issue is
how it's handling the fontpaths in XF86Config.  Specifically, it isn't.
During the boot process, it is deciding it doesn't like some of the
directories listed in the font paths section.

Here is the 'fontpaths' entries from my XF86Config:

    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttfonts/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"

And here are the errors during the X startup process:

<snip>
Removing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ttfonts/ from the valid list of
fontpaths
Removing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ from the valid list of fontpaths
Removing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/ from the valid list of fontpaths
<snip>

They all have exactly the same ownership and perms and they all contain
fonts.dir and fonts.scale entries.

Any ideas?
