Hi All On the console a "/etc/init.d/kdm start"crashes the machine as long as I have /usr/share/fonts/truetype in my xorg.conf. And yes, /usr/share/fonts/truetype exists, and I ran
mkfondir /usr/share/fonts/truetype - I did the latter to give in to some X server recommendation: (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu May 25 17:21:48 2006 [ .. ] (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/truetype". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/truetype") Restarting X after the recommended changes then crashes the machine: (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu May 25 17:31:58 2006 [ ... ] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/truetype, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/, removing from list! [As a side note: the paths to /TTF/ and /OTF do not even *exist* in xorg.conf, please see the URL to that file, below .. ] And the server does not start with this last error, instead it crashes the system: I had to push the Power button to "shut down" the system/machine Here's the complete Xorg.log for that last time: http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com/Xorg.0.log.txt Here's xorg.conf: http://wolfgangpfeiffer.com/xorg.conf.txt Please note that in the meantime I have commented the Font Path lines for /usr/share/fonts/truetype, as well as for /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType for which the server, when the line was uncommented, also could not "init" the path, what ever this 'init' may mean ..
