I'm having a very strange problem when I boot - I normally boot
with a Run Level of 5 (X11) but yesterday and today when I boot
the computer just keeps trying to get into level 5 and can't.
One time I got it to cancel out and got an error message
something like - invalid font path "unit/:7000" in my XF86config
file. As far as I know nothing has changed that in years (this
machine is running RH9).
Made some changes (like changing the Run Level to 3) and I can
get in but if I try to get into a graphical environment I get a
like error. I'd be willing to send anyone my log file(s) if it
would be helpful.
I am very short on disk space (shows some free space but I'm at
100%) so I've been moving some files to a different computer.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
