X server fatal error: can't find fixed font!
I upgraded my XFree to 3.35 from slink without having installed the
slink one ( I had had to make a reinstallation because of a mistake
while root). Any way, when I started startx after runnig the xf86config,
it couldn't satrt any server, complained about fonts not found, asked to
run mkfontdir, which I did. After that I tried again and the the
complain was about "fixed font not found".
There was earlier a message from Shaul Karl about that, where he said he
had the same problem, and that he fixed it by copying xfonts-base.alias
to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias from /etc/X11/fonts/misc/.
Well, what I have there is a file called xfonts-base.alias.dpkg-new, so
I can't repeat his cure.
What should I do?
Please help.
