hello,
we are having a problem running the X server after XView fonts were
installed. the xview distribution was ftp'd from expo.lcs.mit.edu.
xinit does not find the default font fixed and exits, dumping a core file
with an error message:
Fatal server bug!
could not open default font 'fixed'
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
running just plain Xsun -fn '7x13' -fp '/usr/lib/X11/fonts' gives:
failed to set default font path '/usr/lib/X11/fonts'
Fatal server bug!
could not open default font '7x13'
I tried deleting the fonts installed by xview and running mkfontdir again,
but it doesn't work.
we have a lot of X based stuff running on sun3's (3/50 3/60 3/260)
the X is R4 compiled with gcc . the xview was also compiled with gcc.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
