[RULE] Problem starting X (GUI)

[Ingo Lantschner]

Hi,
I have a testingmachine with the following graphicscard:
        GRAPHIC CARD MODEL :S3 86c765 Trio 64V+
        GRAPHIC CARD RAM :2048 kB
        GRAPHIC CARD BUS : PCI
        
Installing Rule with Slinky 0.3.8 and RH 8.0 works fine up to the
commandline.  Starting X (startx) does not work. After consulting some
documentation I found out that I must start the xfs fontserver first.
This did even not help me.  Still no GUI.

Also there is not much difference between Gnome and KDE - I tried both.

As a last try, I put the path to the fonts directly in the XFConfig-File
(as suggested on the rule-mailinglist) - the problem persists - no GUI.

Following the Configfile and the logfiles. May be someone can help.

Thanks Ingo.
