problems with xfree

[hazelb030]

I tried to merge xfree like in the Desktop-Konfiguration-Guide (english). I have a Hercules 3D Prophet 2/MX. I choosed the nv generic driver for the xfree configuration.

When I try to start startx I get a blackscreen and following error message:

that didnt solve the problem. Still the same error message.I tried the same procedure with a 2.5 kernel and .... he starts x for a few seconds but than he hangs up with the error message:

font renderer for ".TTF" already registered at priority 10
font renderer for ".TTC" already registered at priority 10


I suppose its a problem due to my kernel-configuration. but I dont know where the problem is. What should be compiled in or as module for a nvidia graphics card (Geforce2 MX)?

do you have something like

[hazelb030]

solved the problem myself. i tried to make a XF86Config with XF86Config -configure. After that I configured the rest (mointor, keyboard and mouse) and .... it works
