Hi, I have no XFree86Config in root, but actually I have been trying to bring up X as a user. I seem to have two versions of X: 3.3.6a and 4.1.0.1. I don't know how redhat manages that. The 3.3.6a is the one that gives me the font 'fixed' error and 4.1.0.1 gives me a black screen and crashes the ystem totally. Actually I would rather have the newer version, but maybe I better stick with 3.3.6a as it seems to be closer to working. I have already sent both XF86Config files and I am waiting eagerly for any new ideas.
