Well, I fooled around a little last night. Finally logged in as a user instead of root, booted X with no problems (well, still the font error, but it doesn't seem to effect anything). Tracked the problem down to an & after the window manager call in .xinitrc. Doesn't make much sense to me, as I now have to call gnome-session by command line instead of having X do it, and I read that you have to put gnome-session last in your .xinitrc file. Thinking about it now, I guess that I will just try gnome-session& then call the window manager, and see what happens. That is just weird to me.
Thanks for the help and suggestions all. Lang >===== Original Message From Sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >I had this problem. It's failing to set the default font path because >xpmac is a bad egg.
