Xfs problem


Hi,

I'm trying to make my X server to start.

In my error log i have, at the end :
Could not init font path element unix:/7100, removing from list

After a search in a unmber of archive i tried
ps -ef|grep xfs and netstat --unix

None of these commands gives me a xfs related output

I was told that it means the xfs server is not started and it should be.

How can i do that ? Do i have to compile something special in the kernel to make it work ?

Thanx

Have you tried setting the xfs port as -1?

not 100% sure, but you might be able to start it manually, using something like:

"/sbin/service xfs start"

(the 'service' executable might be located elsewhere, and you may have to run as root?)

as to why it's not starting at boot....


acid2000 -- do you mean changing the line in XF86Config to read

fontpath unix:/-1

??

Thanx, i was suggested to install the xfs server and it solved that problem.

My X server can't start yet, the first error message in my log file is (WW) Cannot open APM. But i didn't compiled my kernel with apm and there's nothing related with it in XF86Config-4.
Then :
(WW) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block not detected!
(WW) MGA(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe5f00000,0x40000)


Could this be the reson why the X server won't start ?

If yes could it be because of the drivers (found on matrox' website).


Here's my log file, almost complete (i copied just the most relevant lines), could you tell me if you see anything abnormal ?


Thanx
