 Posted: Wed Nov 24, 2004 12:15 pm Post subject: font 'fixed' error when starting X |
 |
|
I had a working conf file that rane in KDE but the resolution wasn't right so I did some research and learned that I need a program 855resolution to get the resolution 1280x800. I was messing around with it and couldn't get it to work so I downloaded someones xorg.conf and ran X with that. The screen went blank after that and even when I reverted back to the old conf file it still was blank. I've changed everything back the way it was and still blank. I get a fatel server error in the X.org.0 log saying it can't load/find font 'fixed'
Sorry, I'm not on the computer for the exact msg.
Any ideas? |

It shows that in config file you set it to use xfs for font handling. I think you used it without xfs, just by setting font directories directly in conf file.
Either start xfs (and config it via /etc/X11/fs/config), or type your font dirs into xconfig file.
Usually, these are /usr/share/fonts/... dirs. The syntax is in xorg conf:
| Code: | Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf"
EndSection
|
Fill it with your desired fontpaths.
Oh, yes, and delete the line saying FontPath "unix:/blabla"...
