http://xfree86.linuxwiki.org/FAQErrorMessages has a description of what to do to fix this. The basic problem is that RedHat insists on installing X with a font server which at some later date it then stops from running. No one to my knowledge has ever identified why RedHat does this. The FAQ explains how to get your X running without using a Font Server.

This can be tricky to fix, but I've always found that either enabling xfs or installing font packages helps to resolve the problem. You can usually find a list of daemons by running 'ntsysv' and scrolling down the list to the bottom. If it's not turned on, enable the X Font Server 'xfs' and try again. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the X font packages that came with Redhat 9. Hope this helps. -Andy _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
