Greetings,
I have installed XFree86 and it complains about not being about
to could not open font 'fixed'. The only thing I can think of is
the XFree directory is remotely mounted, but fully accessable even
by root.
I don't have any problem with X386 1.2E 1.0.1 except is very slow.
Here is the message that comes off of the server:
XFree86 Version 1.1 / X Window System
