Soyo K7V Dragon Plus
AMD XP1500+
Radeon 32MB All In Wonder 4X AGP Video card
I have other versions of Linux running on this computer without this problem > RedHat 8.0, Mandrake 9.1.
I've had RedHat 9 working before but had to start over after kernel compiling problems. I installed RH9, rebooted, went thru the "first boot" stuff, updated ONLY the kernel-athlon, kernel-source & doc rpms. I also installed the NTFS kernel update. Configured the desktop > KDE, font,icon sizes, colors etc as I always do. Shut down > mowed the lawn > came back in > rebooted > X won't start. Edited Grub to init 3 so I could look at files with Midnight Commander.
/var/log/Xfree86 log message: "could not init font path element unix/: 7100" & fatal server error > "could not open default font 'fixed'".
I've tried various suggestions I've come across but nothing has worked. I can boot into RedHat 8 & compare files between RH8 & RH9 & I do not find anything different.
Is this a problem with XFree86 4.3.0??? If so is there a way to install RH9 with 4.2.0?
Is this a port problem?
What am I missing here???
Help !!!!!!!!!
