-----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Deboo Geek Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2005 2:11 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases; redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: X doesn't start I had a normal working X a few days back. I have a dual bot system and needed an app for a few days to work on som eproject so did not boot in to linux for some days. Now when I boot in to linux, neither do I get the gdm screen for login nor can I start X from console. I got the error : "Failed to load default font fixed. This PC has an Intel 865GF MB which is not detected by the kernel 2.4.x which I'm on but still X was doing okay. I tried booting off of knoppix and copying knoppix's XF86Config but now I get the error : No screens found. How is knoppix able to start X and when I copy it's XF86Config, that doesn't work? I kept looking for some tool to configure X, but there's no console tool I could find. There used to be xf86config in old RH systems but even that is not in Fedora, stramge! I have searched the Fedora install CDs but there's no such tool This raises another question: Is there a rpm equivalent to Debian's apt-cache search and apt-cache show commands?

Run # df -h and see if any of your drives are full. in response to question #2, # rpm -qa|grep <pattern> should find anything you have installed.. I don't know how to search uninstalled packages. -G -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
