- I tried to install the new version of Xfree86 (1.1) when I did I used my
- *Xconfig file from 1.0. I installed the packeges buut got some broken pipes
- when using zcat < xkit | tar xvfBp - and zcat < xman |tar xvfBp -.
- I went ahead and started x but I got these error:
- failed to set defaulkt path /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
- usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/xconq
- fatal server error: couldmt open default font 'fixed' giving up
-
- I now the faq says to look in the directories and see if fonts.dir and
- fonts.alias = the fonts in the directory. Well I looked but the two files
- wee pretty much greek to me. I saw the names of files in the directory
- in the files. but I have noo idea what else to look for. Could someone give
- me a better idea of what to search for? Pleae. I had xfree1.0 running fine
- but want to get 1.1 going now. I got the binaried ad other files from
- sunsite.
