- The font directories are defined in /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig.
- Maybe you are using the wrong Xconfig.
- X is normally started via startx which is a shellscript which then
- will start xinit. It makes no sense to start X386mono alone (beside
- testing purposes). Just make ln -s X386mono X , edit your Xconfig so
- it has definitions for vga2 and do startx. I think the exact things are
- discussed in the READMEs.
