    I am still unable to resolve the problems with getting X to run on my newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. The system is an AMD700MHz on an Asus board with an Nvidia Geoforce 440 MX with 64 MB of video memory. I just noticed that the XFree86.log file shows this:

    (--) PCI:*(0:12:0) nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] rev 162, Mem @ 0xd9000000/24, 0xdc000000/26, BIOS @ 0x000c0000/17

    which seems to indicate an AGP card when actually it is a PCI card. The problem that I am seeing is that when I try to start X, I get the following:

    Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list!
    Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv, removing from
    list!
    Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID, removing from list!

    So, I googled and found that this is related to the xfs server not being able to start. When I try to start it manually, I get:

    xfs notice: ignoring font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
    (unreadable)

    --------------

    If I can't resolve this, I will have to switch back to RedHat or maybe to Slackware. I have been trying to solve this problem for a week now. I solved part of it by downloading and installing the new NVidia drivers, but I am left with this path thing. Anybody got a clue about how to solve this?
