Crippled X-Windows

[jbyrd]

I seem to have crippled my X-windows on my RedHat 7.1 installation. I can't login under X anymore, I have to login via the the text login prompt, then run startx. When I first bootup, Linux seems to try to set runlevel at 5, then it says its switching to runlevel 3 after a screen "flash". I also seem to have to switch consoles (via Alt-F2 or whatever to get a clean login prompt--although a Ctrl-C may work, I forget). Anyhow, everything seems to work fine after I login at the text prompt, I just would like to get back to the old graphical login again. I seemed to have broken it while trying to follow the NHF for installing true-type fonts. It didn't work, so I did the old, "what would happen if I changed this setting in this file?..." thing. Now, I'm so lost, I don't remember what I changed anymore. Any ideas? Anyway I could just reinitialize all of the X-window settings again and start over? (last resort, of course)

Run Xconfigurator, there is an option asking whether you want text or graphical logon.

nope, that doesn't do it. My /etc/inittab file already contains the line:

id;5;initdefault;

Looking at my XFree86.9.log file does turn up several lines like this at the bottom of the file:

Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi, removing from list!

I don't have a /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2 directory. My directories under /usr/share/fonts are "afms", "default", "ja", and "ttf". Is this the problem? If so, how do I fix it.
