You know, I'm /quite/ embarrassed about this one. Last year I wrote a /very/ long, and informative how-to for adding fonts to X. I gave a fair amount of background on the whole process too - including debugging the results of each step. You'd think I'd have figured this out on my own. :P Problem was - I /assumed/ that installing xorg-server, xorg-apps, and xorg-libraries would have /included/ all the prerequisites - D'oh! Anyway, looks like I have something else to add to that how-to. :) Thanks again for taking the time to help me out on this one. --Chris --Chris -- panic: kernel trap (ignored) -- Regards, Kimi ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- panic: kernel trap (ignored) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

7-PRERELEASE Xorg - Fatal server error:could not open default font 'fixed'
Greetings, Well, after not having any luck with Xorg after a fresh install of 7. I decided to try a more recent cvsup of the ports tree and try again. After issuing: cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile portsdb -uU pkgdb -F And following up with a portupgrade -a -e -f -y Portupgrade finished without error. So I elected to bounce the box and issue startx after logging in. Good news. No more Xorg dumping core. Bad news. Xorg exits before completeting with the following error: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' The man page provided no help. Google provided no cure. Yahoo provided no cure. I tried make uninstall of every misc font file I could imagine. Then make installing all of them. But still no joy. :( Please help. Thank you. --Chris -- panic: kernel trap (ignored) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
