Prroblem with X
Hello everyone, I am having a problem with X, I have installed Gnome2 and when I am trying to 'startx' it goes to a blank screen with a cursor and it just sits there, when I terminate it the only error message I see is: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/ , removing from list ! Any ideas? I am running FreeBSD 4.7 with XFree86-4.2.0_1 Please help, Andrei. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

If that works then start backtracking. Or possibly try setting your X config for the lowest possible resources, like using a default color depth of 8 and a Mode of 800x600, just to help eliminate the possiblity that it might be resource related.

Nathan Is it possible to let us know under what setup this worked before? If we could get a sense of what worked before, then it might assist in assessing what's different this time around. What version of what worked fine before?
