Quoth Swapnil Bhatia: > Xfree86 log: > ----------- > Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! > Fatal server error: > could not open default font 'fixed' since you didn't give us your log file, I wouldn't bet my life on it, but this is almost always a problem with xfs (as the previous response pointed out). start xfs or get rid of the unix/:7100 line from your config file. and read the archives for a million responses to the same question (might have more detail). cheers chris _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
