Last night I loaded the latest version of Amancio Hasty's S3 server and
ran into a problem. After an "xinit > &uhoh", this is what uhoh contained:
S3 0.1 / X Windows System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
S3
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'
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
And then I had a nice deep blue screen but had to kill the server. The same
font path works fine for the X386mono server. Has anyone else had this
problem or have an idea what's wrong? I even tried changing my RGB and Font
Paths to /bd/X11R5/lib where lib was a link to /usr/X386/lib. No luck.
As mentioned in the subject line, I'm using an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 (on a
486DX 33MHz, with switch 3 "on" and the others "off" on the F1280 card).
Here is the Xconfig file I used:
RGBPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
Keyboard

Thanks for any insight at all into this problem!
