retiredff Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hello, I'm not sure what these errors mean: Aug 19 06:39:29 localhost xfs: ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont (unreadable) Aug 19 06:39:29 localhost xfs: ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1 (unreadable) Aug 19 06:39:29 localhost xfs: ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf (unreadable) Aug 19 06:39:29 localhost xfs: ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/pcf_drakfont:unscaled (unreadable) I checked these directories, the files are there.... I boot to CLI (init 3). The very last line displayed AFTER I log in and hit enter is: Error opening display. Everything seems to work fine, I use MDK10 official, any ideas?

devries Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes it tells you have a problem with the xfs server (for fonts) and the X server (for a graphical environment). Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 so it doesn't use the fontserver For example: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" Make sure the paths point to the correct folders on your system. (and edit out the 'FontPath "unix/:-1" that you have now.) To change your display settings type XFdrake (logged in as root) and change them so your display can handle it. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredff Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 devries, Thanks for the reply. U are correct, my XF86Config-4 was wrong, I will change it later. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredff Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) devries, I changed /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and removed 'FontPath "unix/:-1". I also added the font paths. I still get the same error after logging in = 'Error opening display'. Like I said before, everything seems to work. I'll check some *.log files and see if I can get more info. I found this in XFree86.0.log (last line?) I founf nothing w/EE...... > cat XFree86.0.log | grep WW (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
