XWindows crashing in redhat 9.0

[Yttrium]

i've installed redhat 9.0 and not really a newbie but also no pro... i've had the same problem with redhat 8.0 but could solve it .... but now it does the same thing again and really want to know what crashed XFree. When i boot it says it can't start X11 and gives me the following problem: can't load bitmap.?.
when i try reconfiguring the video configuration with the redhat-config command for video it finds my video driver and all but can't load it ...

if someone knows what the problem might be, please let me know... i could reupdate my X11 with the redhat disc's but then i don't know the problem ...t

thanx in advance

Can you start just the X server alone? Start it with just the command "X".

I've never heard of a "bitmap" module before. Can you just remove it from your /etc/X11/XF86Config and see if that solves it?

Huh?! Where the ... did that come from?! Did you alter it to that, Yttrium?

nope, nothing altered with X ... that's the strange part, i've done nothing (installed nothing, and removed nothing) ... really done know where that came from ...

[Yttrium]

oh yeah, forgot to mention that when i took my redhat cd to look if i would update the problem (just 'update' my Xwindows system) it gives some sort of error and aborts the updating process ... well, i think i'll just reinstall linux ... i think it will be the easiest, to bad i didn't found the solution

[l_Kriss]

cant you just comment out the "bitmap" module?
