I don't know what happened, but I've apparently lost my font server, or at least my default fonts, so I am unable to start X. I get the following error message: _FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 failed to set default fontpath 'unix/:-1' Fatal server error: Could not open default font 'fixed' Upon start up, the font server starts, but when I do a shutdown after trying to start X, it says that it failed to shutdown, and INND also fails to shut down. I checked my XF86Config file, and it has: Font Path "unix/:-1" After reading several FAQ's and a bunch of posts in ng, I have checked a few things. I have fonts/misc:unscaled and fonts/misc in the catalogue line of the proper file. Someone suggested doing a df command. I don't know why, but here it is: 1-K blocks Used avail used mount /dev/hdc2 63917 60920 0 100% / /dev/hdc4 6754013 23764 6380322 0% /home /dev/hdc3 1090007 891133 142552 86% /usr I am running Redhat 6.0 on a POS Packard Bell I may have forgotten a few things, so if you need more info let me know. (It's 2:30 in the morning, and I can't think straight anymore) Any help on fixing this would be appreciated. Lynx is okay for browsing, but I would really like to get X running.
