X won't start

[Ben Kamen]

My 43p-240 had a bad CPU causing lockups. It's fixed, but the reboots
did something funny and X (and CDE/Dtlogin) won't run now.

/tmp/xlogfile reports a critical error that X can't open the default
font Ergo15.iso1

If I look in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/

Ergo15.iso1.pcf.Z is right there...

WHat else can I look for?

Help!

Ok, I figured out the problem. For some reason, X is looking for
Ergo15.iso1.pcf.Z in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850/ by default instead of
one directory bad.

Should the X server search all available dir's from /usr/lib/X11/fonts down?

I realize it's codepage is probably set to 850 (i'd like to see where
that's set)

but anyway - anyone with any thoughts on this?
