Still BIG problems with XFree on Dell C400
The Dell C400 is troublesome, in particular with Debian since its
policy of conservative upgrades. Anyway, I have downloaded the
following packages:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Debian 4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody1 20030307145421 marcelo@)
kernel-source-2.4.22
The kernel recompiled with settings as recommended. However, when
issuing startx, the screens goes black, 30-60 seconds goes by,
suddenly the screen looks X like with the X mouse pointer, but then I
am back to console mode again. Looking into the
/var/log/XFree86.0.log and grepping out (WW), (EE) and Warning, I get
this:
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/util".
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/encodings".

Any idea of what goes wrong? Or how to debug my situation?
