Yes, as this machine (the i810 one) didn't have problems previously. Nothing 
about the glx module in this one, unlike the S3 crash. The problem could have 
been around for some time, as it's rare that I leave an X session up for more 
than a day (I usually exit back out to command line when I'm done), and that's 
when this seems to happen: when X is left running over a day or so.



I'll see what happens without the suspected modules. Wine complains with glx 
missing.

   Were the GLX or DRI modules loaded in this case?  I still suspect
a DRI or GLX bug, mostly because I haven't seen this with NVIDIA drivers
which don't use the XFree86 dri or glx modules.

 Here's the same type crash as was happening with the S3 VirgeDX chipset, only
 this time on i810. No mention of glx module, but it was loaded. Two different
 machines, same XFree86, 4.6.0. Both crashes only happen if X is left running
 for over a day or so, then shut down. Once the server closes, the console is
 never restored. This crash didn't produce a log, only the follow when I got
 hold of the console back using svgalib's restoretextmode util.

 Any idea what's cause both machines to crash, but only when X is up for quite
 some time before shutting down? The S3 crash happened the same way, but
 mentions GL/glx module.

 This happened priviously on the i810 as well, but I had no output to send in
 as I couldn't re-claim the console and had to reboot.

If the problem would occur again. Since it happened with regularity that first 
day, I thought this was going to be an on-going thing. Now it won't crash in a 
similar fashion even with all the usual modules enabled. I guess I should be

 Exiting X results in the screen locking, black, with just the pointer where I

 google) and put it in the directory it was before, if it isnt that i
 have no idea what happened :s

I'm sure Mr. Myers didn't delete the font. :^)  Just be sure xfs is running.

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.

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,

its that the only thing you have to do is find it (search for it on
google) and put it in the directory it was before, if it isnt that i

 went into windows and then deleted it, then rebooted to linux and this happened (i
