I have checked the font path I set in my XF86Config-4 and it seems point to the right place. I also remake and reinstall my XFree on my machine and the error message is still there. Does "could not open default font 'fixed' " means there is a font package's name with fixed on it and I need to download it to the fontpath?

Do you have the "fixed" font? For Xorg this is found in the Xorg misc-misc package. Look at the source downloads at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/font/ Or if you did have XFree86 installed then adjust your FontPath (in your xorg.conf) to point to your XFree86 fonts. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
