Re: [XFree86] Xfree86 log error

You appear to be having the unable to find font 'fixed' error that
shows up oh-so-often.

This can be tricky to fix, but I've always found that either enabling
xfs or installing font packages helps to resolve the problem.

You can usually find a list of daemons by running 'ntsysv' and
scrolling down the list to the bottom. If it's not turned on, enable
the X Font Server 'xfs' and try again.

If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the X font packages that came
with Redhat 9.

Hope this helps.

http://xfree86.linuxwiki.org/FAQErrorMessages has a description of what to
do to fix this.

The basic problem is that RedHat insists on installing X with a font server
which at some later date it then stops from running.  No one to my knowledge
has ever identified why RedHat does this.

The FAQ explains how to get your X running without using a Font Server.

X should be able to run without the font server. I am seeing a lot more 
problems with XFree86 on Red Hat 9. The moment I am done with my current 
investigation on debian I will put Red Hat 9 on my play box and see why are 
these  problem occurring so often. I am a little puzzled why most people say it 
use to work and then stop. That doesn't typically happens with computer. Unless 
there is a hardware failure or binary corruption.
