I don't know well xorg-6.8, it's the original X11 server? I use Xfree86.
xorg-6.8 is available by default on gentoo distribution?

Hi,
Xorg is a fork of Xfree, just before version 4.4.0 and just before the change of licence to a not GPL one.

Most distribution use xorg now instead of xfree.

Fedora Core 2 use xorg version 6.7 (Xfree86 4.3.0 in FC1)
Mandrake 10.1 also incude xorg 6.7
Suse annonce : "For subsequent products we switch to X.Org to offer a reliable alternative that lets our customers benefit from future enhancements in Linux desktop infrastructure technology."

And so on..

It works fine here with x.org 6.8.1 on Slackware current. The only nasty problem is the exit from fullscreen Bug ;)

Mmmhhh...
I don't know what to say...
It doesn't work here at home neither at work with xorg-6.8.0...
On Gentoo forums others have the exact same problem...

I will try with xorg-6.8.1...

must be a font config prob

Post by Dommel »

It must have something to do with the xorg update screwing up the font configs.

I have the same problem, but if i am adding my university's fontserver to the font directory in xorg.conf, everything works just fine. (with xorg 6.8)

Hi,

hi have solved the Problem on my Machine (Debian Sarge, X.org 6.8.1). Change the Font-Path Elements in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to:

Code: Select all

Section "Files"
	FontPath	"unix/:7100"			# local font server
	# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
	FontPath	"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
	FontPath	"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
	FontPath	"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"

Hi,
My FontPath declarations in /etc/X11/xorg.conf are the same as yours, but I still get the crash when I try to convert. My error is:
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Serial number of failed request: 20539
Current serial number in output stream: 20626

I'm also running xorg, as follows:
xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21
kernel-2.6.9-1.667

Any ideas?
