just made an update just in case the problem solved from itself... its getting worse......
the server stops with: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' just above i have the mesg: Warning: 'fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"). unfortunately i do not seem to have the program mkfontdir ... in wich package should it be? houps yeah apt-cache search is your friend..... found it in package xutils..... shouldn't this package be installed by default? it solved also my previous problem with the xmodmap..... I think that's a bug and a missing dependence somewhere... -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
