Hi, I'm using Mandrake 7.0
After attempting to install StarOffice 5.1 onto my system, I began having
problems getting into X-server. I have tried setting my INIT level from 5
to 3, and then running startx from the console but this does not work and
the following error messages comes up:
===============================================================
...
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error : bad length in Geometry
> Output file "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm" removed
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Couldn't load XKB keymap : falling back to pre-XKB keymap
-FontTransSocketUNIXConnect : can't connect : errno=111
failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
...
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
=========================================================
Any clues, anybody? would be greatly appreciated ... considering
uninstalling Linux and reinstalling again.
Yours truly
Jerome
