hello,
I am running Red Hat Linux 6.1 When I type in the command startx, I get an error message that says: could not open default font 'fixed'. I have searched past postings on this topic and tried the various suggestions, but so far I'm not getting anything. Here are the postings I looked up http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=010103 AND http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=010098. Here is what i have tried so far. I have tried going into the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and uncommenting (#) the unix/:-1 line and I get the xwindows grey background but it doesn't go anywhere from there. I have made sure that xfs was running at the time. does anyone know how to solve this problem, and where do the fonts go?
Thanks
