I was in Gnome, and I went to logout, and as it was shutting down, it froze up on me, so I waited a while, and a little while longer, and nothing.  Tried Ctrl+Alt+Del and that did nothing.  So, as a last resort, I hit "reset" on my computer.  It loaded back up, into the console and when I type "startx" I get a couple errors that are something to the effect of "Could not load XKB Keymap Font 'Fixed'" and "Fatal Server Error", and "Could not INIT font path element UNIX/:-1".  Anyhow, it wouldn't load up gnome again.  I have already had this problem twice before, and I solved it by re-installing, but I really don't want to have to re-install Mandrake weekly (or daily).  I am running Mandrake 8.0 on a partition of a 20GB HD as a dual-boot system w/ Win98 (same HD).  I have a 933mhz Pentium 3, 256RAM and an AZZA motherboard.  Is there anyway to fix this without re-installing?  I didn't think it had anything to do with running a dual-boot, but who knows...not me.  Any help anyone can offer, or any directions you can point me will be much appreciated, thanks a lot.
