Hello, First you you take this advice into account. Running a 3+ years old software is calling for troubles. Thanks for your help, what should i user instead of Xfree86 ? any advice ? You can't load freetype and xtt at the same time. You have to choose one of the 2. For european fonts the freetype module is usually performing well: remove the line loading xtt from you /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. __ You're right !!! I just still have a little trouble: (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found As my plan is to startx on a remote server (which doesn't have any screen), and as i'm running windowsXP on a laptop i thought that this trouble may come from my terminal windows software (i use putty) ANy idea ? _ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] I need some help
If you want to use the drivers that come with XFree86 you'll need to be using XFree86 4.3 and you'll want to use the nv driver. Otherwise, you can use NVIDIA's binary Linux drivers available on the NVIDIA web site. Those will work with the XFree86 version you have now. Note, the error you are getting is because your font server isn't running. Starting xfs, however, won't rememdy that the card you have isn't supported in your old XFree86 server. Mark.
