Hi, did you recently upgrade from Xorg 7.0 to Xorg 7.1? I saw this with a fairly recent etch version; the server didn't crash but refused to start up with an error complaining it couldn't find the font "fixed" (see /var/log/Xorg.0.log) I have a hunch (but cannot test today) that it could be a problem if you have upgraded for a long time and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains FontPath entries (Section "Files") that point to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xyz instead of the more modern /usr/share/fonts/X11/xyz (actually I've lost track nowadays what defoma, and xfs, etc. etc. do because they're all still in my xorg.conf. also why is /usr/lib/X11/fonts a symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in my X11R*7* installation?? grmbl. ) What you could try: - make dated backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf - edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, search for text Section "Files" - for each of the lines with FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xyz" and actually also "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/xyz" add an additional line FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/xyz" and restart x-windows: hopefully that does the trick.. hmm.. otherwise also check /etc/X11/fs/config, "catalogue" iff xfs listens to tcp (I suspect the xorg.conf line FontPath "unix/:7100" refers to xfs used via tcp port 7100) Good Luck! Frits
