If you mean the XFree86 included with Debian "stable", then you should upgrade
your XFree86 .deb.

As Mark suggested the XFree86 included with Debian "stable" is too old to
include support for your card.

There are some unofficial Debain apt repositories such as backports.org that
include newer XFree86 .deb files for Debain stable.

The X Font Server (xfs) is not running. Either restart xfs or edit your
XF86Config (in /etc/X11) to use the font directory paths directly (my preference
for occassional use of X on a Internet facing server like a mail server).

Why try to run such an ancient version of Slackware Linux (7), and XFree86 (3.x)

If you cannot determine why the X Font Server is dying, then I suggest that you
stop using it, and use the traditional FontPath entries in the Files section of
your configuration file (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4).

e.g.

Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"

I just assumed that when talking fps and games, that it is a 3D game that uses
OpenGL, sorry.

You are correct, the lack of direct rendering is the likely cause of the slow
down. Is there any later messages about it being disabled, also check
/var/log/messages for issues with AGP GART and the radeon DRI kernel module. I
assume that lsmod shows radeon and agpgart are both loaded.

Off-hand, not all (or maybe not many) Radeon 9200's are known by the XFree86

The most common problems I have seen with the nVidia binary drivers is failure

You possibly have a corrupted install of XFree86. First you should confirm that
do not have filesystem problems (e.g. by running fsck , and ensuring necessary
free space, 'df'), then you should reinstall (rpm -e then rpm -ivh or rpm -Uvh
--force) your XFree86 rpms.

Red Hat Inc. no longer supports (by producing updates) for Red Hat Linux 8, so I
strongly recommend you upgrade to a supported distribution, first to ensure
security flaws get fixed and second so that you have a newer version of XFree86
(4.4.0 is the current release, which includes better support for Intel 845

You have a Matrox video card, so you cannot use the nVidia binary driver's
OpenGL module (libglx.so). You need to remove nVidia's GLX module from your config.

You also have some minor issues with your FontPaths, but they are not causing
the crash.

If I understand your request, yes. You just need to simplify your Section

Something like (you may need/want multiple display depths):

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor"Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes  "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

Which version of XFree86 are you running? Debian 3.0 'woody' (stable) was
running a rather dated version the last time I checked, and you may need to use
a newer version of XFree86.

One means of installing a newer version of XFree86 on Debian is using
.

I don't know about the FireGL T2 128MB off-hand, so I don't know which chipset
it is based upon, and if it is a newer chipset it may not be supported or fully
supported yet. A 'lspci -v' could be helpful.

For maximum 3D acceleration you may need to install the ATI binary drivers for
XFree86.

For more information (though didn't see rs200m mentioned though) about the
open-source DRI / XFree86 and a link to the ATI binary drivers.

Okay, I wanted to confirm that you were not wasting time with what was actual a
hardware problem. Thanks.

Does X by itself work? No window manager or anything. It won't be usable, but
can help determine whether the problem is with the XFree86 server or other
aspects like your window manager or various dot files.
e.g. just run 'X'

Does running 'XFree86 -configure' work?

Do you have a previous or older kernel you could run? I am not blaming that, I
just want to isolate whether the problem is related to your kernel version or
not. Are you using the XFree86/linux kernel DRI or the DRI and AGP GART module
that comes with the ATI binary driver install?

Is this computer system stable, and hardware error-free after replacing your bad

e.g. XFree86, linux kernel

Try replacing the ATI binary driver (fglrx) with the XFree86 open-source 'ati'

The nVidia binary driver ('nvidia' not XFree86 open-source 'nv') is not provided
by or supported by XFree86. Bugs should be reported to nVidia, but I strongly
suspect that there is no errors in the software (in this case), but I will guess
that the nvidia kernel modules have not been installed correctly, you can check
with the 'lsmod' command to verify that the nvidia kernel module is loaded.

Hope that helps.

Excerpt from your XFree86.0.log file:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'


This indicates the problem is that it cannot connect to your X Font Server
(xfs). Restart your xfs (/sbin/service xfs restart) and should be fine. This
service should start with runlevel 5 (Red Hat Linux's default run level for
graphic login). You can check that with 'chkconfig --list xfs', and make any
necessary changes with 'ntsysv'.

Your first message had a configuration file showing you using 'nvidia' driver.

You cannot freely mix and match with the 'nv' and 'nvidia' drivers (they use
different GLX extensions for example).

While it shouldn't fix the entire problem, you should delete the second load of
the GLX extension.

It appears that it is a messed up after removing / deleting the nvidia binary

ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so

I believe the splash screen is fixed size, so it ignores your configuration
file. I am not sure.

After reading Mark's response I realised that I had misread the errors, the C
library warnings have nothing to do with your XFree86 or the GLX extension, and
the pty (pseudo-terminal devices) errors are the serious problem.

If you have a ~/.initrc file you may wish to delete it or rename it to xinitrc.

Did you disable pty support in your linux kernel?

binary driver.

Does it work the open source XFree86 'nv' driver? (You will need to disable the
nvidia 'glx' extension). If do not need fast OpenGL (i.e. don't play games) this
should work well enough for you.

Your first problem appears to be that the version of XFree86 included with
winlinux2003 is too old to know about your nVidia video card. You should be
using XFree86 4.3.0 or possibly try a (quite stable) 4.4.0 pre-release.

Next it appears these files are not available in your install. While you don't
actually need these extensions, it indicates that you likely have other problems
with your system. You may be able to reinstall the XFree86 packages (rpm, .deb,
whatever) that included them.

That's a flat panel I assume (because of the DVI interface), if so try adding
Option "FlatPanel" "true"

As far as I know you cannot run two X servers or two X sessions on the same

There are some 3rd-party hacks to allowing multiple input devices of the same

The configuration file and log file show that you are using the XFree86 open
source 'nv' driver, rather than the nVidia binary 'nvidia' driver.

If you are having problems with the 'nvidia' driver, send the log output from
trying to run it. With your current configuration the 'nv' driver will not work
correctly with the nVidia's binary driver GLX module for OpenGL support. Also
ensure you have installed the nVidia binary kernel module as per their instruction.

Ah, I suggest your first step would be get a current distribution. I don't know
exactly how long now, but I believe Red Hat Linux 7 is end-of-life with no
support, and is quite old and likely to be annoying.

The message is generate because you are using a binary which I suspect was
compiled on a Fedora Linux system (or a system with the exec-shield patch I
think) and running that binary on a non-Fedora (or non-exec-shield) system.

Fedora does not use -nolisten tcp as default, but does optionally (and
encourages) installing iptables firewall, and the usual configuration of
iptables would block X11 traffic.

OpenSSH that ships with Fedora does allow X11 forwarding.

It cannot file the config file, which is usually located at /etc/X11/XF86Config

If you are using a Linux distribution, use a kernel from the distribution, not
your own. If you are using *BSD use a GENERIC kernel config.

If you are building a Linux kernel, ensure that CONFIG_UNIX is set to 'y' (or
'm') in the .config file.

The Matrox G450 is supported in current release, XFree86 4.3.0 (and possibly

I believe Mandrake Linux 7.0 is quite old and you may find the MandrakeSoft does

X11 uses 6000/tcp for X11 over a TCP/IP network, AFAIK it does not use UDP.
I believe that local X server / X client connection can be implementation
specific but I believe Unix sockets and shared memory are used in various
implementations. I believe XFree86 uses shared memory for local connections.
