As root, of course. Any ideas? And thanks to the Well, do you have any font installed? Installing only a few packages of the x stuff may very well leave you without fonts or other necessary items. Run dselect. Read the comments for all the packages in the X11 sections. What you need to get X up and running is documented there, and you may find other interesting items too. The server package alone isn't enough, you need at least a couple of others. Helge Hafting -- --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
Re: Can't load default font 'fixed'
Did you install the xfstt true-type font server? I did, and I get this same message when trying to start X. I think the install script has a glitch or something. Anyway, after booting up you can start the font server manually from the init.d directory. Then you should be able to startx. Maybe there's someone else reading this who could tell us both how to fix this properly.

Can't load default font 'fixed'
