This has probably been brought up before, but since this is the #1 FAQ, XFree86 should probably print an extra line in the error log: Tip: xfs isn't running, but XFree86 needs it to access your fonts. Restart xfs by running /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start Or similar, if it sees that unix/:7100 is the only font path element and that no process named xfs is running. Actually, something like this might better be left up to distributors due to the WIDE variance in startup and service scripts, but still, it's worth considering. -- Andy Goth | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://ioioio.net/ End communication. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Your font server has failed. Here is a link to Red Hat documentation about the font server XFS http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-x-fonts.h tml Service xfs restart may work, you'll have to be running as root and X should not be running. The latter shouldn't be a problem. :) I'm not a Red Hat user so maybe someone else can help you if you have more questions. Your second choice is to add the font directories to your config file. This is the preferred solution. Add the following lines to the Section Files in the XF86Config file: FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo HTH, cyn -Original Message- From: Andy Myers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 8:22 AM To: xfree86 Subject: [XFree86] XSERVER CRASH - newbie needs help! ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
