Make sure your xkb has the right symlinks...

It's fairly easy to install new fonts...check out these links: XKB: http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/XKB-Config.html Fonts: http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/fonts.html -----Original Message----- From: kentropy@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:kentropy@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 9:25 AM To: xfree86 Subject: could not open default font 'fixed' Hello, I am trying to build XFree86 from scratch, but I get many problems about fonts. My questions are: 1. Which configuration should I use to obtain a minimal and functional X server for VESA with mouse and keyboard support ? 2. Why my X server can't find fixed font ? I tried searching 'fixed*' with find but without success. Please help XFree86.log -------------- XFree86 Version 4.4.99.16 .snip.
