I have tried the following things but still the error persists:
1. start xfs ... then do startx.
2. Take the output from chkfontpath and add the line "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" as another fontpath in /etc/X11/XF86Config
3. Comment out: Fontpath "unix/:7100" in XF86Config file
The 2nd and 3rd porcesses were obtained after searching the archives.
Still the same errors :-(
Does anybody know the solution?
Thanks !! Kapil

give the command service xfs start or /etc/init.d/xfs start before startx

I am currently unable to start the GUI on my RHL 8.0 box using "startx". It throws up the following error message:
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'

Any help would be appreciated !!
Thanks buddies :-)) Kapil Karekar
