X problems after an update
Well, I used dselect to update the available packages from SLINK (frozen). And it listed a bunch as updated required. So, I let it install them, but I didn't really look at what they were. My X was working before all this, but now after doing the update, it no longer works. The error I'm getting is the following: FreeFontPath: FTP /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonta/misc:unscaled refcount it 2, should be 1;fixing. Now, I'm not sure if this is the error that is causing the server to shut down. but it is doing so. Before the error hits me, it shows waiting for X server to shut down Then displays that refcount error. The last line that appears during startup is (--) SVGA: Generic SpeedUps selected (Flags=0x30) I re-ran XF86Setup to respecify all my setup options, but it still comes back with the same error. When I call startx it goes into X for a second, and jumps back. anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Will

For me there was a shell programming error in /etc/X11/Xsession that needed to be corrected. -- Jean Pierre
