Hello,

I am getting the following error when I issue "startx":

System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -eml "Errors
from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I have installed every font available!

Thanks.

Can you manually shutdown the font server, restart it and then try startx? If you don't know how to do this just restart the computer. If you get any errors restarting the font server post them here, this is likely the root of the problem.
