Although, this problem is common with older Red Hat systems, I have never experienced it myself and don't really know what the problem might be.

Thanks Marc: On the contrary, xfs is up and running. The problem begins when I execute startx, then xfs crashes. The X font Server was somehow corrupted by the hard shutdown. OK. Then, I'll rephrase. You need to figure out why xfs is crashing. Try restarting it manually. Now that I've got X running with the band-aid fix. I'm going to turn to some more pressing matters. I'll report back to you when I've run some experiments with xfs. Until then -- Adrienne ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' This is a common symptom on older Red Hat systems. You need to figure out why your font server (xfs) isn't starting properly. Marc. On the contrary, xfs is up and running. The problem begins when I execute startx, then xfs crashes. The X font Server was somehow corrupted by the hard shutdown. I have implemented a band-aid fix. I included the line FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc in my XF86 Config file, X now starts normally with startx and I can print. This, however, does not correct the fundamental problem created by the power cut. Adrienne ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
