Hi,

When I switched my computer on this morning I could not start X instead got 
the message: "fatal error, could not find fix fonts", or something like that.

Now the XF86Config-4 file has not been touched since installed last year 
except for a change in the mouse device last March. I have some back-ups and 
they all read the same.

After the initial panic I then copied the Section Files from the XF86Config-4 
in my Slackware box over to the one in RH73 and X came back to life.

Quetion: How can such a thing happen that X suddenly fails?

All I did yesterday reinstall applixware and before logging out opened kfm and 
gmc at the same time since I saw them in the Program Panel and had forgotten 
what programs they were. I am using FVWM2.

Regards
