if nothing else works, this should: :; chmod 4711 /usr/bin/Xorg that was changed to not be suid some time back, relying instead on things like elogind. but the old way should still work. on gentoo the suid use flag for x11-base/xorg-server would do that at merge time. -JimC -- James Cloos

e fonts. And then running: :; fc-match helvetica will show you which font fontconfig will use when asked for helvetica. Also, try this: :; XFT_DEBUG=1 flpsed If fltk uses xft, then that will show you which fonts it selected. If nothing prints than fltk is compiled to use server-side fonts.
