I will try to give a more detailed answer as this should go into a FAQ and some people have volunteered to work on one.
The Xserver needs at least the 'fixed' and the 'cursor' font to start up successfully. The 'cursor' font is required to be able to display a cursor symbol, the 'fixed' font is required so that an application is able to display text (an error message saying it cannot find the required set of fonts). The server checks if these two fonts are present in the FontPath which can be specified in the configuration file (-> XF86Config(5)) or on the server command line (-> Xserver(1)). If one of the two fonts isn't present the server fails to start printing an error message: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' If you see the above error message please make sure the fontpath is set correctly. You can find the currently configured path in the server log file. Please look for lines beginning with: FontPath set to: .... If the font path doesn't look like you expect it to be (in a default installation it is set to the subdirectories in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/) you may edit your XF86Config file. Make sure that the fontpath directories exist and contain fonts. Check if all directories contain a file called 'fonts.dir'. If not you may run 'mkfontdir' in the font directory to create this file. Since fonts are listed by their XLFD name in 'fonts.dir' - not their abbreviated name - a file called 'fonts.alias' needs to exist in the font directory specifying the mapping of the abbreviated names to the XLFD names. In a default installation the both 'cursor' and 'fixed' font exist in the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc. fonts.alias must at least contain the line: fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 for the 'fixed' font to be found. The files '6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz' and cursor.pcf.gz need to be present. Font don't have to live in files in a local directory. They can be provided by a fontserver running on a remote machine (-> XF86Config(5), X(7)). If you are using a font server please make sure it is running, that it is configured correctly and that it has access to the fonts. The above also applies to the font directories on font servers. The default font server for bitmapped fonts shipped with XFree86 is xfs (-> xfs(1)). Starting with XFree86 4.3 there are plans to build both fonts into the Xserver. --------------------------------------- Now to your problem: It looks like you are using a font server: FontPath set to "unix/:7100 on the local machine. Please make sure it is running. Egbert. Willy Bertiger writes: > Ignore me if you want. The bottom of the enclosed log file > suggested sending it to you.
