I cannot start the X server problem resolution

Source: Internet
Author: User


Phenomenon:
Project IPLB is an OEM project and should be supported in Japanese or Chinese.
You cannot access the graphics interface of x Windows after you reboot the system. Always prompt "I cannot start the X server (your graphical interface)".

After modifying the startup configuration, enter the text interface, using the command #startx, the error message "Could not open default font fixed" appears.
Check some information, look at log information #vi/var/log/xorg.0.log, which has the following error message:
"Could not init font path element unix/:7100,removing from list!
Fatal Server Error:
Could not open default font ' fixed '
View the configuration of the "Fontpath" unix/:7100 "in the file #vi/etc/x11/xorg.conf.

Background:
Linux environment: Redhat AS4, kernel:2.6.9
Installed the project IPLB, reboot, the system can not access to the X Windows interface (graphics interface), can only enter the text interface, searched half of the afternoon data, finally resolved.

Solution:
Option 1: Comment out the "Fontpath" unix/:7100 "line in the #vi/etc/x11/xorg.conf.
Option 2: Change the "Fontpath" unix/:7100 "line" in the #vi/etc/x11/xorg.conf to
Fontpath "/usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/misc".

Analysis and Information:
Http://topic.csdn.net/t/20021119/16/1189635.html said: {
"Unix/:7100"
If you support Chinese, this line seems to be commented out. You can check the article about Chinese.
If you want to go into text mode, you can quickly type Linux single return when Linux starts.
Will enter the text mode, and then modify your configuration file. (You should have a little impression of what you changed last time.) /^__^)
In addition: I modify the configuration, the general is the original comments out of the # #, but not deleted, so the reply is also simple.

I have also encountered, I directly "Fontpath" section of the Fontpath "unix:7100" annotated. The result is good. The following are found from other places.
Q: X-window can not start, see/var/log/xfree86.0.log in the following error message: "Fatal server error:could not open default font ' fixed ', how to resolve."

A: The message indicates that the default system font cannot be found "fixed", causing X-window to boot. The x system's default font "fixed" series is stored in the/usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/misc directory and can be recovered as long as the directory is not accidentally deleted. The method is as follows: Edit/etc/x11/xf86config, add the following font path definition in the "Fontpath" section of "sections ' Files":
Fontpath "/usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/misc"
After saving, restart X-window (STARTX).
When X-window encountered a problem, you can carefully look at the log file/var/log/xfree86.0.log, generally can find the reason.
}

Conclusion:
should be because the project IPLB support Japanese, and I use the Redhat AS4 only support English, resulting in the font problem.
