Hi,
I've retitled your post with a more informative subject. This will help
anyone else that uses a search engine to find answers.
Please do not "Reply" to posts if you are not answering or asking a
question specifially related to them. Start a new thread instead by
composing a mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with an appropriate subject line.
Please do not quote material unrelated to your post. You quoted the
entire digest which means that everyone on this list got a HUGE mail from
you which didn't help you or them.
Now, on to your question. Do you have a section like this in your
/etc/X11/XF86config?:
Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of
the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
If you don't then you might want to try running "redhat-config-xfree86
--reconfig" on the commandline as root.
If you do, then do you have a firewall running on the machine or an
overly-restrictive tcpwrapper setting with /etc/hosts.deny?
HTH,
Oisin Feeley
