Hi all, First time this has happened in some time, but after a fairly minor apt-get dist-upgrade, X no longer seems to want to work. I have attached the full output of the command (I don't know whether it is relevant), but the tail end of it is as follows:
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). .... I did notice when I looked at the error output that the kernel is being reported as 2.2.18 ... I'm running 2.2.17! I guess that could cause problems, eh? Not sure why this discrepancy exists. Anyway, thanks to anyone who can shed light on this. Glenn Becker Online Producer, Community SCIFI.COM
