- I am having problems getting Xfree86 running, it seems to initiaize
- the screen fine , but then switches back to text, and hangs the console
- port (still can telnet in). I found out that there is an error that
- the server is reporting but never showing, I can only get this error on
- a system that is telneted in, it is:
-
- failed to set default font path '/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386
- /lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/'
- Fatal server error:
- could not open default font 'fixed'
-
- I am trying to install this on two machines, and it does the exact same
- thing on both machines. Of course the directory entries are correct and
- mkfontdir has been run in each directory. There is an fonts.alias file
- in the misc directory that lists 'fixed' as misc-blahh-blahh and that
- entry does appear in the fonts.dir as 6x13.psf.Z
- Does anyone know what is wrong? why isn't the server able to
- set the font directories?
