Has any one seen this error before?? 'Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list Fatal server error: Could not open default font "fixed"' I get the above error when I try to start X. I get the Nvidia signon screen then that error. I have gone and reinstalled ALL the XFfree86 components and checked for lock files etc and I still get this error. I'd like to get it running so that I can back the system up and install RHEL4. But until I backup the system I can't do that. I've googled for that error, and what had turned up didn't work for me. I need to get some stuff which is in the KDE desktop and heaps of other stuff. This system had been up and running for a while, so there's heaps of data to backup before I can trash it. This has been the first real problem that I've had with it. It's been running great otherwise. Wolf PS: I know RH9 is old, which is why I want to update it. But before I can, I need to back it up. ###################################################################### City of Botany Bay Council: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
