Just like it says in the subject line.
Just upgraded Debian to woody from potato (i.e., X 3.3.6 to 4.0.3)
Any ideas?
TIA,

- Make sure xfs (the X font server) is running and not
reporting errors in the logs.
- Make sure /tmp isn't filling up, if xfs runs through a
socket. Redhat runs xfs on tcp port 7100 instead.
None of that worked for me. xfs is running on a socket, and
my disk space is fine. I had to add the font paths from
/etc/X11/fs/config to my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. I'm on
Mandrake 8, your files could be somewhere else on Debian.
G'luck....

But thanks for trying to help!

My friend made this installation yesterday, and the startx command
worked fine, several times and after shutdown/reboot.
But today i can't get into X.
I can see when i start X that X font server don't get [ OK ].
I made a dump of the X startup to a file and it shows this:
...
Warning: The directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" does not
exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
(**) FontPath set to "unix/:7100"
...
And
...
(--) S3: Using 16 planes of 736x709 at (0,601) aligned 8 as font cache
_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default font path 'unix/:7100'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
...
Can anybody tell me, in english, how I can get this to work again, cause
I just love the way Linux handles Apache, PHP and MySQL together.
Thanks....

Use tasksel to re-install the X packages - there is a problem with X when
upgrading. The package you're missing is the xfonts-base, but I don't
think installing this alone will solve your problem - more problems
might just follow...

Reinstall your X packages with tasksel if you can. Especially
xfonts-base and xserver-xfree86.
I've seen someone suggest "apt-get -f dist-upgrade"
Just try some different things, eventually something will work.

1. Error when starting X: "couldn't open default font 'fixed'"
Hey all. I've just installed XFree86 3.3.3.1 over my Red Hat 4.1. I have a
Matrox Millenium 2 (4Mb) card, and I ran Xconfigurator to create my
XF86Config file.
When trying to run startx, I get the following message:
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
failed to set default font path '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/'
Fatal server error:
couldn't open default font 'fixed'
After looking at some documentation on the XF86Config file, I checked to
make sure all of the directories
misc, Type1, Speedo, and 75dpi existed, and they did. After more
reading, I ran mkfontdir on each of these directories.
Still no luck...
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!!
ALSO! I was going to try running XF86Setup, however, it gives me an error
telling me to set an environment variable for XWINHOME equal to the parent
directory of XFree86's bin directory. How do I do that so that I can run
XF86Setup?
Thanks again!
