X dies...

[tcl.00]

hey all...

have slack 7.1, kernel 2.4.2.

fired it up the other day, hit startx, and X froze before enlightenment could even get started. i looked at the output, and it was having problems soon after the part about the mouse, then it said something about having problems getting the speedo fonts going...

-tried commenting out the speedo fonts section in the XF86Config file. -didn't help.

-ran xf86config over again. still no juice.

pretty vague, but any ideas?

thanks very much.

The exact error messages would be nice. grep EE /var/XFree86.0.log (I think it is)

[tcl.00]

ok, here's what it gives me, hot off the press:

...

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type : MOUSE)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!

..

giving up.

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!

Is that copied and pasted? It should be /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/

Note the "/" between X11 and fonts.

[tcl.00]

yes, you're right, it is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo.

no, did not cut&paste, was typing as i looked at the other monitor. thanks for pointing that out.

but, i did try commenting that out, it did not change anything, so i put it back in.
