Hi there, It seems to me there are 2 errors and 1 warning in there... the first error has to do with loading the keymap file (is it there at all? is the location specified the correct one) I have not come across it before myself, but those are the things I would look for. The second is the broken font server (XFS) (not surprises there!). The quickest workaround I did when I had this problem was to edit the XF86Config file and replace the line that refers to the XFS server with the absolute path to the font files. That worked first go for me. There is also a howto on that on the Mandrake site (http://www.mandrakeuser.org/). Finally this line: "Mach64ProgramClkMach64CT: Warning: Q< 10.6666667" only looks like a warning so I don't think it is a major problem.
