[gentoo-user] xorgcfg doesn't work: Couldn't get keyboard

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello.

When I run xorgcfg from within a running X session, I get the following
error message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/X11 $ sudo xorgcfg
Couldn't get keyboard
Warning: Cannot convert string -*-helvetica-bold-o-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-1 to 
type FontStruct
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:  817
  Current serial number in output stream:  821

And after that, xorgcfg quits.

I tried copying /etc/X11/xorg.cfg.example to /etc/X11/xorg.cfg
and ran xorgcfg after that. Still the same error message.

Am I doing something wrong?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/X11 $ epm -qf `which xorgcfg`
xorg-server-1.1.1

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

Do you have media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi installed? xorg-server should
have pulled it in, and it should provide that helvetica font.

Thanks,
