Hi,. I crashed mandrake recently and broke my font config, the only way i can get X to startup without the famous errno 2, 'default font 'fixed' not found, message is to hack my X config to,.. FontPath="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" if i try FontPath="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts75dpi" etc it will fail with default font 'fixed' not found, why ? Also if i use the default '/fs/config' (catalog=sensible/path, sensible=path) and mkfontdir '/sensible/path/,sensible/path' and FontPath='unix/:-1', it fails with default font 'fixed' not found, why ? case any of the fonts were corrupted, i did a 'rpm -i --force ./XFree86-*' but that made no diffrence. any help would be appreacated,.. regards --- Matthew J Fletcher NPD Firmware When did ignorance become a point of view ? --- ********************************************************************** Serck Controls Ltd, Rowley Drive, Coventry, CV3 4FH, UK Tel: 44 (0) 24 7630 5050 Fax: 44 (0) 24 7630 2437 Web: www.serck-controls.co.uk Admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
