 Realplayer works fine but it is the only one app with this problem.

This may not be entirely relevant to your problem, but it's worth a check.

The fonts provided by the corefonts package are _badly_ corrupted, and
largely out-dated (it would even be worth to file a bug). For example,
if you make any GTK+ application use them (like any Xfce module or
emelFM2), it will display boxes instead of text.

So, check to make sure that Realplayer doesn't use Arial or something
similar. If it does, get your hands on the MS fonts from an existing
Windows installation, install them manually, remove corefonts and
check that the paths conform in xorg.conf and the xfs config file (if
you use the latter).

Regards,
Liviu

not exactly sure, but I'd look under menuconfig- Device Drivers-
Graphics support.  In particular: 
*   VESA VGA graphics support 
VESA driver type (vesafb)  (use vesafb-tng on 32-bit)

Console display driver support  ---
 [*]   Video mode selection support (you already have this i think)
 * Framebuffer Console support (you probably have this already)


No, I had not these!
Now it works.

forum thread about it:

[gentoo-user] A week of struggle

2007-10-30 Thread econti

Hi all,
as the subject says! ;-)
Now my system should be updated. gcc, world and, to-day, the kernel. 
Well, everything seems to work fine . . . but:


1 among the boot options I had vga=0x317. Now this option gives me:
  You passed an undefined mode number.
  Press RETURN to see video modes available, SPACE to continue or 
wait 30 secs.

  Video adapter: VESA VGA
  Mode:   COLSxROWS:
  0  0F00  80 x 25
  1  0F01  80 x 50
  2  0F02  80 x 43
  3  0F03  80 x 28
  4  0F05  80 x 30
  5  0F06  80 x 34
  6  0F07  80 x 60
  Why this? What have I forgotten in kernel configuration?

2 (this is really incredible) fonts disappeared on the Realplayer 
window! Instead of chars . . . boxes. i.e. file = 4 boxes, settings 
= 7 boxes, etc ??

Realplayer works fine but it is the only one app with this problem.

I need some tips. ;-)
