Sorry for the delay but I don't get on the 737 very often any more. Anyway, while I was watching it boot today, I noticed that during the boot process it said that the startup of the Font Server failed. That's probably why we can't execute 'init 5' to start X Window. Since we can execute the 'startx' script, everything we need is obviously there, but, I'd guess, not in the right places. What do I need to do to get the Font Server to start up during bootup?
Thanks
Norm
