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.

Sir,
In the past one week, I had to install RH9 third consecutive time
today
because some failure in X server. I am attaching the log file, please
reply back with possible cause of the problem.
Thanking You, I remain
Yours Sincerely,
Shantanu
Your problem seems to be that it's not finding a font, as suggested at
the end
of the log, repeated here:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I don't know why this is beyond the fonts not being installed and
haven't
heard of similar instances. 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.
