As of Red Hat 8.0 the default is to use only /etc/X11/XF86Config. The use of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 was used up until then because of the desire to support both XFree86-3.3.6 and XFree86-4.x.x. At the same time the older RedHat written "Xconfigurator" tool was dropped and a new "redhat-config-xfree86" tool introduced. > > Please edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and add the unix/:-1 to the font path. > It'll be interesting to see what comes from this. All the RedHat 8.0 machines that I've ssen use the 7100 port. It would be informative if the OP were to do a "netstat -A unix | grep font-unix" and then see if the output matches something like this: unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 2053 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100 HTH, Oisin Feeley _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
