RE: [XFree86] XKeeps Crashing!,
I actually am receiving the same error message about fonts along with a message about my X server crashing. Al smith([EMAIL PROTECTED]) told me to edit my inittab to change the run level from 5 to 3 and reboot. After reboot I logged in at the prompt as root and ran startx and my X server started and ran. However since then I have had to restart and have not been able to start my x server again. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Panther Wyvern Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 12:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [XFree86] XKeeps Crashing!, On Thursday 04 December 2003 08:59 pm, Shantanu Gupta stepped up to the podium, took a deep breath and intoned: Sir, In the past one week, I had to install RH9 third consecutive time today because some failure in X server.

If the fonts are not installed, a good question might be how are you installing your distribution? If it's by the retail CDs, then it sounds like RH9's installation is messing up, which seems strange. If you can get RH9 installed and running without X, you might want to see if you can find the rpm containing the necessary fonts and install it from the command line.
