Could you look up this error message in Google? This question gets asked a couple times a day and we don't answer it anymore. It's been the number one question for a couple years now and as far as I'm concerned, it's RedHat's bug not XFree86's. Mark. Hint: RedHat and derivatives configure X to *require* a font server yet they don't seem to be able to ensure that the font server stays running. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
