- Hi,
- I suppose my problems are not new in this group, but I have over 800 unread
- articles and simply cannot search in all of them for a solution.
- I have installed linux using the version on forwiss passau with good success,
- i.e. there were no error messages. Problem is, how to get X11 started. My
- VGA-adapter is Diamond Speedstar 24, that means Tseng ET-4000 chipset with
- true-color DAC. After several tries i got a useable image on my screen (no
- good quality, because old and no docs for the monitor). But now startx ends
- upon an error message: "Fatal error: Couldn`t open default font `fixed`,
- giving up." and several error messages by the xinit process (I suppose those
- are caused by the missing font). I tried to copy an other font to the name
- of `fixed`, but this did not change anything.
- Question: What file is accessed by fixed, must I change the path for the
- fonts? Has anyone had the same problems? Are they caused by the hardware
- (well, I suppose not...)?
-
- Thanks for your help,
- BYE...
- G.H.E.
