Date: 29 Dec 1992 20:15:53 -0600 Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway Lines: 29 Sender: daemon@cs.utexas.edu Message-ID: <9212300215.AA00524@deepthought.cs.utexas.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu I am having problems getting Xfree86 running, it seems to initiaize the screen fine , but then switches back to text, and hangs the console port (still can telnet in). I found out that there is an error that the server is reporting but never showing, I can only get this error on a system that is telneted in, it is: 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' I am trying to install this on two machines, and it does the exact same thing on both machines. Of course the directory entries are correct and mkfontdir has been run in each directory. There is an fonts.alias file in the misc directory that lists 'fixed' as misc-blahh-blahh and that entry does appear in the fonts.dir as 6x13.psf.Z Does anyone know what is wrong? why isn't the server able to set the font directories? **************************************************************************** Name: Donald L.
