Fatal server error.
Hey Guys/Girls,
I'm having problems apparently with my font server. I searched the forums and noone really had a definite fix for this. So I figured I'd give it a shot and see what some of you guys/girls know about it. When loading X I get the following: Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Here is a copy of my XF86Config: # XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.

I had read in several places where that might be the cause, but unfortunately it wasn't. Furthermore, incase you don't know what distro it is, I'm running Redhat 9.0. If you need more information please let me know and I'll be happy to devulge any information you might need. |
No ideas anyone? I'm starting to formulate my hypothesis that something has happened to the path after FontPath "unix/:7100", am I correct in thinking so?

Try adding
Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" EndSection To your config. Make sure your paths match, and the folder /usr/lib/X11/fonts exists. Or read up on the font server, though most people have it switched off. |

You may also want to make sure your font server is actually running:
"/etc/init.d/xfs stop" -note: if it said "failed" then it wasn't running. To start it, type: "/etc/init.d/xfs start" |
