Hi all
Just got a new laptop and install FreeBSD 4.8-release (mini) on it. 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.
