I got rid of the hosts.allow and deny files (put a ~ at the end). It still did not work. The error messages are:
_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 If I do: xset fp+ unix:/7101 (or whatever it's meant to be) I get: X Error of failed request: 86 Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 11 The server is running according to top, although starting a new instance gives something like: 'cannot open port somethingorother. Better try another port!' An instance of xfstt then starts anyway. Any help greatly appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
