 Xsun does (unfortunately) not know about gzipped fonts. The easy fix

Off hand, why not?  It's just a config option, and you've got zlib...
(Remember, gzipped fonts aren't debian specific -- I contributed them
to the X consortium first, and they did go out in normal X11R6
releases.) 

 is to set up a local X font server (xfs), and start Xsun with

Umm, no, won't xfs just send the gzip'ed fonts over, or did that get
fixed?  (This was a problem I had when I wrote the code in the first
place - Xnest couldn't test them and xfs didn't help...)

Just curious (I haven't tried the server yet myself; in fact, I turned
over X package developement to someone else, though I'm still
advising...)

  They may need to be recompiled with the new libc... 

This is what I suspected, but could not determine for lack of error
messages.  Here is what else I can provide,

(4) $ xkbcomp 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  Do you get any messages about changed or undefined symbols?

I don't think so... the only place I found a message was in
/var/log/debug :

Could it be that I'm not logging the *helpful* error messages?

thank you for your help,

I won't be listening for a week and a half or so as I'm leaving town
shortly.  So any other info will have to wait until then.

cheerio,

xbase

1998-03-19 Thread Aaron M. Johnson

I don't have enough disk space for a development env so for now I can
only report...

$ /usr/X11R6/bin/Xsun
(using VT number 7)

Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
failed to set default font path 
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

Any ideas?

These are the packages currently installed.
ii  xsun-utils  3.3.1-2.2  X server-related utilities
ii  xslibg  3.3.1-2.2  Statically linked versions of the
   libraries 
ii  xserver-xsun3.3.1-2.2  X server for 8-bit Sun framebuffers
ii  xlib6g  3.3.1-2.2  Shared libraries required by X clients
ii  xlib6g-dev  3.3.1-2.2  Include files and libraries for X client dev
ii  xbase   3.3.1-2Local clients and configuration required by
ii  xfnt100 3.3.1-2100dpi fonts for X servers
ii  xfnt75  3.3.1-275dpi fonts for X servers
ii  xfntbase3.3.1-2Standard fonts for X servers

While traking down the first error I noticed that
xkbcomp xkbprint  xkbvleds  xkbwatch all Segmentation fault.

Here's an example of the shared libs xkbcomp is finding.

$ ldd /usr/bin/X11/xkbcomp 
libXext.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x5002c000)
libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x50049000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x5010e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x5000)

And one last thing related to getting the X server working; what
replaces xbase-configure for sparc?Is it needed?

thanks for your help,  aaaron
