weird problem!

i'm having a weird problem with one of my systems. when i run startx nothing shows up on the screen. this is xorg 6.8. here is the config file

                Modes "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

and the last couple of lines from the log.

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

there doesn't appear to be anything that is show stopping in the log any ideas?

Re: weird problem!

anyone know how to fix this? i now have this running on 2 other systems with no problems. both of those systems use intel i810s though.

Re: weird problem!

fixed the issue. needed to recompile my kernel, but then the system wouldn't do 1280x1024 because there wasn't enough ram. so i just replaced the system ;-p
