Your fonts are broken: Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Around Redhat 8, they stopped hard-coding font paths into the XF86Config file and use "xfs" (X font server). Make sure it runs at bootup (did you turn it off accidentally?). You should see a symlink here: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 26 2003 /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S90xfs -> ../init.d/xfs If you are in runlevel 5, ssh in and try this: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs status to see if it's running... if not, change 'status' to 'start' and see if it goes. If it was off but started, make it go on bootup by make the link (or run redhat-config-services) to make it for you. That should be enough to get you going. -Cory On Tue, 27 Jan 2004, Josh Beaman wrote: > Hi there > > Just unable to log in to my Red Hat box.
