Next I installed gnome2 and then Xfree86-server. I configured x with xf86config and tried running x with "startx", but got this error: could not open default font 'fixed' I found out XFree86-FontServer wasn't installed, so I installed it, rebooted but still no luck. What is wrong and did I even have to installed the FontServer? Please cc to me as I am not on the list. br socketd Error message: lab# startx Using authority file /root/.Xauthority Writing authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "lab:0" in "list" command Using authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "lab:0" in "add" command XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8 i386 [ELF] Build Date: 28 May 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.
