Re: PEX X font errors on SE/30...(was: Xserver/Xwindows on SE/30)
I did the whole adbmouse>mouse thing and the replacing of the XF86 Config File.
...aha..... Woops. I didn't look through all the q&a's
Q: xfree dies with a fatal error, complaining about the PEX fonts
A: No, it does not. Its a warning, not a fatal error. We all get this
warning. You have some other problem, read the _complete_ error message.
woops.
But the thing is, it _is_ fatal, in the sense that X server shuts
down right after it.
Here it comes:
Operating System: Linux 2.0.36 m68k [ELF]

FBDev: Server for frame buffer device

(**) stands for supplied (--) stands for probed/default values
(**) XKB: disabled
(**) Mouse: type: BusMouse, device: /dev/mouse, buttons:3
(**) FBDev: Graphics device ID: "Linux/m68k Fram Buffer Device"
(**) FBDev: Monitor ID:"Generic Monitor"

"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX/"

PEXExtentionInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file Roman_M
Waiting for X server to shut down...
Can anyone help me now?
www.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k-faq
Ya, I had read that, or rather, skimmed. *smack myself*

As Clay said, you did not read my sig. You did not send the complete error
message.
Just a guess, is your mouse properly installed (/dev/mouse?)
<Clay>
IIRC, the PEX font error is _not_ fatal. That info based on
Christians(sp?) glorious faq on installing X-windows on a slink
distribution.
> NOTE: When all this is done, I'm thinking about writing a howto on
installing X to systems that don't have it...err something. I know I
found it a bit rough around the edges with all the dependecies and
this font issue. Is there a need? If so, I'd be honored.
Good idea, but I dont think its needed. Installing X in potato works like a
charm, or did any1 experience problems there?
You might want to try to install potato from scratch and update the install
guides. There work is needed.
Hmm...if I go for potato, then I'll work on it
