I have tried the following things but still the error persists:
- start xfs ... then do startx.
- 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
- Make sure xfs is running. #-> chkconfig --list xfs
- Make sure required font rpms are installed. $-> rpm -qa | grep fonts You should atleast have XFree86-base-fonts package.
- Check your keyboard layout and configure XF86Config properly. And keep
that FontPath thing in there. Here are standard entries for XKB, Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" If you have a reasonably recent keyboard this should be about same.
- If still the same problem, try starting bare X as, $-> X If it works, check what is X spawning after it starts, and why it doesn't see installed fonts.
