1 Hello.
2
3 When I run xorgcfg from within a running X session, I get the following
4 error message:
5
6 alexander@blatt /etc/X11 $ sudo xorgcfg
7 Couldn't get keyboard
8 Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-o-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-1" to type FontStruct
9 X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
10 Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
11 Serial number of failed request: 817
12 Current serial number in output stream: 821
13
14 And after that, xorgcfg quits.
15
16 I tried copying /etc/X11/xorg.cfg.example to /etc/X11/xorg.cfg
17 and ran xorgcfg after that. Still the same error message.
18
19 Am I doing something wrong?
20
21 alexander@blatt /etc/X11 $ epm -qf `which xorgcfg`
22 xorg-server-1.1.1
23
24 Thanks,
