prior to my first posting, i had xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base, xfonts-pex and xfs installed. after Ben's reply i add xfonts-cyrillic, xfonts-greek-ph-misc, xfonts-greek-ph-scalable and xfonts-scalable together with xfs-xtt. then i "startx" again. i still able to get the "...Welcome to debian" screen with un-moveable mouse pointer. after <ctrl+alt+backspace> entered, i also still get this: PEXExtensionInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file Roman_M xinit: connection to X server lost. anything else i could try? thanks a lot ----------------------------------------------------- Get your FREE email from Catcha! http://mail.catcha.com
