startx can't find font 'fixed'!
Hello all. I will apologise in advance since I am sure that this is a really
dumb question, but I just installed Debian 1.3.1 for the first time last night
and I can't get X going. I am using MetroX 3.1.5 which has worked
wonderfully for me before under both Slackware and Red Hat.
Anywho, once I do a 'startx', the screen goes black and I can't know to do
anything else but reboot and when I come back and check out /var/log/Xerrors,
it tells me that I have some problems loading the fonts. Here's the Xerrors,
but I don't know how to get the fonts all working. I would really appreciate
any help. Thank you in advance.
