Hi, I am also facing the same problem. Same architecture, only difference is the XFree86 is running. Include the misc fonts or Type1 and do a mkfontdir. That will fire the XFree86 up. But I have another issue, once the XFree86 is running, I can only see a mouse pointer with no movement. It is an USB optical mouse, and using a IMPS protocol at /dev/input/mice. XFree86.log has no EE or WW messages. I am not using the modular support in the kernel and the mouse support is cpmpiled in the kernel. Since without X there is no other application in the 24 MB system there is no way I can test if the mouse is working otherwise that is without XFree86. Please advise. Thanks, Ravi. ________________________ Odi is an imbecile untill further notice -Garfield. Hi. We are trying to load X on an embedded application .The architecture is i386. Is there a way by which the font server can be avoided...we do not require it for the system.The file size for font/misc and stuff is very huge which is not allowing us to port on a 64MB flash. we tried to remove some fonts... got a "fixed font not available" error. any poitners on as to what minimal fonts contribute for X to start ? any help would be of great assistance, thanks in advance.
