i reinstalled 7.2 again, this time choosing "classic x windows" only. now the font problem is gone, i.e. both AA and no AA fonts work great.
this whole situation still bothers me though because on every other machine i have installed 7.2 on (including the problematic machine in the past), i chose "x windows" rather than "classic x windows" and everything works great. whats even more weird is that when i go to "preferences->look and feel->info->xserver", it says i'm running version 4.1.0, despite the fact i chose to install "classic x windows" this time. my conclustion? a piece of dust got on a transistor in my processor and thus linux/xfree86/kde ceased to work. then later this evening the piece of dust fell off, so now everything works. anyways, thats my story and resolution, i hope no one else has to deal with this kinda stuff... christopher On Sunday 11 November 2001 04:40 pm, you wrote: > thanks for replying... > > > What kind of video card do you have? > > geforce2 mx > > > What version of XFree86 is running? > > 4.1.0 > > > What does the catalogue in /etc/X11/fs/config look like? > > catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, > /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1, > /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType, > /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, > /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts, > /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType > i've changed the order of some of these but no combination has worked. > > > What... is the capitol of Assyria? > > i don't know...;) > > > Oh, and is xfs running post-boot? > > i don't know what you mean by this. if you mean is xfs running before i > try to startx, yes, i'm pretty sure. /ect/init.d/xfs status says its > running. > > > I think I noticed in Roswell 2 that XFree86 3.3 couldn't communicate with > > xfs from XFree86 4.1. > > what do you mean by this? i don't understand this statement. > > thank you for your help, > christopher > > P.S. any ideas why a clean install prior to this weekend worked fine, but > now clean installs don't work? just doesn't make sense to me... > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
