I had inadvertently already implemented Robert's fix--this line is already the top entry in my misc/fonts.alias file, but my problem remains. startx gets as far as the X in the center of the screen, and then the server dies. I'm not completely sure my XFConfig is right. I got it working before by changing values in it until X started working. You see my problem: I wasn't even sure why X was working before, so I'm really not sure why it isn't now <g>. Mike -- Mike James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Memphis, TN USA * Eternity begins now.
