Does that mean that "yesterday" when you used startx the X server started properly? What did you changed between today and yesterday? >in text mode , It fail and the following message comes out : Could not >open default font "fixed" Check your /etc/X11/XF86Config file. There should be a line in the "Files" Section which says FontPath "unix/:7100" This tells the X server that there is a font server handing out fonts at port 7100 on localhost. That font server is called "xfs". To check that it's running do a "/sbin/service xfs status". That command should return "xfs (pid xxx) is running...". If it doesn't then you need to turn on xfs "/sbin/service xfs start". You should also use "/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 xfs on". Check the various Red Hat manuals which are available both with the distro and online for further details. If after all this it's still not working use the Red Hat package manager "rpm" to check that you have the base fonts installed "rpm -qa | grep font" should return the following list (if it doesn't then use "rpm -ivh anme-of-each-package" to install them: [root@ars ofeeley]# rpm -qa | grep font XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-72 chkfontpath-1.9.6-3 tetex-fonts-1.0.7-57 XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.2.0-72 urw-fonts-2.0-26 XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 fontconfig-2.0-3 XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-72 ghostscript-fonts-5.50-7 bitmap-fonts-0.2-2 XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72 fontconfig-devel-2.0-3 > > >Even i change inittad file and set default login is graphic mode , it >also can't work.
