Re: [XFree86] problem with XWindows

You need to send the whole log file, and your config file. Then folks might 
have a prayer of helping you.

Re: [XFree86] XFree86 freezes in minutes (was:Trident Blade, no screens)

2003-11-16 Thread Hacksaw
I was having troubles with my S3 Savage IX based laptop freezing with X 4.3.0. 
On a whim I set the driver to vesa, since the screen is 800x600 and there's no 
3d stuff to speak of. Works great. Give it a try if you haven't.

Wish I knew what was up with the savage driver. It doesn't just hose X, it 
locks the machine hard.

Re: [XFree86] X server not wrking!

2003-11-16 Thread Hacksaw
Well, you didn't include your config file, so it's hard to be sure, but you 
either have no font lines, or more likely you just one which mentions 
unix/7100, which means you need the font server running. If that's the case, 
make sure xfs is running.

Re: [XFree86] RE : error : can't find element unix/:7100

2003-10-10 Thread Hacksaw
The font server is called xfs.

Since you didn't say what OS you are using, I shall chauvinisticly assume you 
are using RedHat.

As root, run

chkconfig --levels 345 xfs on

and then

service xfs start

The first will make sure it comes on every time, and the second will start it 
right now.

If you are using a different OS, your typeage may vary. Find xfs and run it.
