Hmmm just comment out this line

FontPath "Unix/:7100"

from XF86Config file and X server should start working fine.

Hi,

A friend of mine was trying to install a screen saver on his Red Hat 7.2 linux box when X crashed. He replaced his XF86Config-4 file with the original.

He is still getting an error:

Could not init font path unix/:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'

Can you suggest what steps he should take to recover from the X server crash?

Thanks. Parul

the X font server isn't running.

there is no entry for the misc fontset in XF86Config. This is required as a fallback in case xfs isn't running. Find out where this directory is (you can look at the output of chkfontpath) and add it as another fontpath after unix:/7100
