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
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900
VGA256: et4000 (mem: 1024k numclocks: 16)
VGA256: clocks: 25 28 38 46 41 33 51 66 13 15 19 23 21 17 26 0
VGA256: SpeedUp mode selected (Flags=0x3f)
failed to set default font path '/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386/lib/X
11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/'
This means that one of directories either doesn't exist or is missing
a fonts.dir file.
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
this could mean that /usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc doesn't exist. Rich
