It said, "Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!" Your XF86Config file says to use a font server, yet it doesn't appear that one is running. You either need to start your font server (xfs) or add some new font paths. eg. in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, in the Section "Files" add something like: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" Mark. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
