Hello everybody,

I've got a quick question. I was having similar problems a couple of months ago and asked, but the suggestions given didn't help me at that time. Since then, I've moved to Idaho and am not getting back to this problem. I thought that I'd hosed up my X stuff beyond recongnition so I just dumped the box and re-installed 3.0 -release.

    Now, what happens is as follows:

1) from prompt type % xf86cfg
2) the X server starts fine
3) I'm brought to the screen where PC appears with a mouse, keyboard and video card attached to it, with the monitor attached to the video card 4) the screen blacks out, then reappears back to the "blank" X screen with a mouse indicator and the window described above NEVER reappears

So, what is causing this? The only thing I've been able to think of thus far is it's not able to initialize fonts properly. The reason for this is, there are a couple of lines on the output of tty01 that meantion something about being unable to initialize font such and such.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Andy
