Hi; You're very welcome - no prob... ;-) Thanks for the props, though I must admit, you have a much better working control of the *nix CLI than I do ;-) > > If you want to use Xfree86 (Default on "Sarge") make sure you have > > atleast these > > I have all the required. Yes you do -- however; Now that i know you're using Xorg and _not_ Xfree86 this is definitely a either a *symlink* or hardlink issue in the upgrade from xfree86 to xorg, it's a well known issue, but i don't know/recall exactly how to fix it ;-( I recall reading much about it during the last few months )in the various NGs (but I'm using Xfree86 still) so... > $ dpkg --get-selections | grep -E 'xserver|x-window|xfonts' > x-window-system-core install > xfonts-100dpi install > xfonts-75dpi install > xfonts-artwiz install > xfonts-base install > xfonts-bolkhov-cp1251-75dpi install > xfonts-bolkhov-cp1251-misc install > xfonts-encodings install > xfonts-intl-european install > xfonts-konsole install > xfonts-scalable install > xfonts-terminus install > xfonts-utils install > xserver-common install > xserver-xorg install It looks like you have everything necessary - here's mine; ~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -E 'xserver|x-window|xfonts' x-window-system-core install xfonts-100dpi install xfonts-75dpi install xfonts-base install xfonts-scalable install xserver-common install xserver-xfree86 install Thanks for that dpkg CLI syntax :-) > > Here's some Font entries in my Sarge XF86Config-4 file; [...] Section > > "Files" > > Here is mine, (for etch, from /etc/X11/xorg.conf): > > ----------------------- > RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" > ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" > FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" > FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western" > FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives" > FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera" > FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/latex-ttf-fonts" > ----------------------- Notice you have no entry; "FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server " but "I'm not *certain* it needs to exist with Xorg - it would seem so though. > Relevant info in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: > > ----------------------- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue Sep 13 23:35:31 2005 > (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" > (**) FontPath set to > "unix/:7100,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100d Note the FontPath set to "unix:7100" as the 1st entry -- and my XF86Config-4 file's first entry matches that, yours does not. > pi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/li > b/X11/fonts/100dpi,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" (==) RgbPath set to > "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" (==) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" Make sure ALL these paths exist AND that they contain what they're supposed to > (II) Loading extension FontCache > > (II) LoadModule: "type1" > (II) Loading font Type1 > (II) Loading font CID > Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! > ----------------------- there's that pesky "unix/:7100" entry again -- hmmm... > As I said, it was working fine, until I removed all xfonts-*-transcoded > fonts. Now it is "could not open default font 'fixed'". I hear ya -- how long have you been running Etch? If all you did was remove/uninstall the *transcoded" Fonts, then replacing them _should've_worked_. [ anecdotal ] You know, I was having Keyboard issues so- I recently checked my Keyboard output type using; $ sudo kbd_mode The keyboard is in raw (scancode) mode Checking the man pages, it would seem only ASCII, or UTF-8 would be safe, but it turns out X uses the Scan codes as Mapping codes -- bugged me out! See 'man kbd_mode' and the "See Also" items listed at the bottom; loadkeys, dumpkeys, consolechars, setkeycodes, and setxkbmap -- I have no clue, but I know enough not to alter it ...again... ;-) > but that one has no answer.

My X is not starting. > > thanks a lot you bet ;-) perhaps; http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg69To7 ================================ [...] The biggest problem with this is that the /usr/X11R6/bin directory must become a symlink to /usr/bin, where all the Xorg binaries are now stored. Because no one likes to have their programs deleted out from under them, the installation of x11-common will fail if it tries to remove this directory and fails. x11-common currently conflicts with packages in Debian that are known to install anything to /usr/X11R6/bin, so that the directory can be automatically cleared as well as possible before attempting installation. [...] ================================== Search the BUG reports throughout the various NGs about "Xorg broke my XFree86" or somesuch ("Sarge upgrade to Etch breaks X") .
