hi,
can anyone tell me the magic needed to make the rh9 X server happy?
i installed rh9, and mostly it comes up and hums happily (server type
stuff, eg kernel, network, adsl, named, dhcp...) but X won't go. X
still works great under rh7.3.
i notice Xconfigurator is gone in rh9. i tried supplying
/etc/X11/XF86config myself from the rh73 /etc/X11/XF86config-4. i tried
redhat-config-xfree86, got:
* ddcprobe returned bogus values:
ID: MEIa30a
Name: None
HorizSync: None
VertSync: None
Couldn't start X server, trying with a fresh configuration
* ddcprobe returned bogus values:
ID: MEIa30a
Name: None
HorizSync: None
VertSync: None
Trying with card: SiS 6326
xconf.py: Fatal IO error 2 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :17.0.
/var/log/messages says:
Jun 1 19:18:46 ruby xfs: xfs startup succeeded
Jun 1 19:18:47 ruby init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
XFree86.setup.log says:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
i tried:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
mkfontdir
but no difference.
in case it helps:
rpm -qa|grep -i fonts|sort

i bet i got in this pickle because my rh9 install (via ftp) crashed
(presumably a network hiccup), and i resumed it as an upgrade. so a way
out may be to start over again with a fresh install. but jeez, both
rsync and gFTP always crap out at 102400000 bytes when trying to
download iso's!
