xfree86 and default font 'fixed'



I am using a stock potato without X, I am compiling XFree86 4.1 from
source, then installing it to /usr/X11, I have added Antialiasing and
TTF support following instructions on
http://www.xfree86.org/~keithp/render/aafont.txt

I have installed it all, and setup an XFree86 configuration file. And
also started xfs.

Now I get this:
could not open default font 'fixed'
as the error.

I don't know what to do with this now. Anything I have found on google
hasn't been of much help to me. There seems to be many causes to this
none of which I found info on.

Does anyone else have this problem? If so how did you solve it?

Here is my XF86Config file (relevent parts only to prevent from being
too large):
Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

    Load        "dbe"   # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA
extension
    EndSubSection

# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
    Load        "type1"
    Load        "freetype"
    Load        "speedo"


# This loads the GLX module
#    Load       "glx"

EndSection
