Make old P4 into thin-client machine?

Hello

for first: please don't be worried about my english. i will try my best.

i read this thread while searching a solution for using old pc(p4, 256mb ram) as thin client.

i have done the things you said and now i have a problem:

when i try to start the x with
/etc/init.d/gdm start
there is displayed the following error:
after several information and warnings...

Code:

(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" };

xkb_types { include "complete" ];

xkb_compatibility { include "complete" };

xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+de(nodeadkeys)" };

xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

> Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols

> Ignoring extra symbols

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server



Fatal server error:

could not open default font 'fixed'

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Video settings problem

Start a new thread and you will get more exposure. Looks like you are having trouble with your video card settings. Repost in a new thread with a video problem title and don't forget to include your distro and computer specs would help you get it fixed quick. Looks like a simple problem.

P.S. Your english is fine.. no need to apologise :).

This error could simply mean that there is no 3D card in your PC.
If that is the case comment out the following line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code:

#load dri

even with that line in place I would think X should still be able to start..

P.S. Requesting moderator to split this into new thread.

Thank you.

The (EE)-Message doesn't appear any more.

But it doesn't work yet because there still is the
