[gentoo-user] KDE no longer rendering fonts properly
What happened to my KDE 3.5.3? The fonts are gone sorta -- at least to the point that makes KDE unusable. If I fire up a terminal, the window is black, but I can see that things are happening, as the cursor will move. but no text shows. if i do an 'ls' for example, i can see something 'scrolling' as the bar on the right moves, but no text is rendered. highlighting all the text in the window will reveal red/blue/etc inverse areas which i assume are directories, tarballs, etc... my clock applet is 'blank', but if i roll over it, i see the time in the bubble that pops up. most menus are blank, but I can see the underscore of where the hotkey would be. if I click on the menu, it 'blinks' very fast the text that should be there. this is the same for buttons. they show up until i roll the mouse onto them, then the text vanishes but i see the underscore. all the icons on my desktop are there, and the text under them is 'black' (like the shadow text), but the white text that used to be over the black is gone. firefox will show some text, then vanish, but if i drag/highlight all the text on the page, it comes back. Gnome works just fine -- in fact, that's how I'm typing this right now since KDE is hosed. I did an emerge update on friday and all seemed well. i use an nVidia card and i purposefully did not do the xorg-7.1 as it was a blocker with nVidia drivers. gcc-3.4.5 xorg-7.0 nvidia-1.0.8762 kde-3.5.3 kde was working fine. i had rebooted and such after the upgrade from 3.5.2 to verify. here are the last few things i emerged that could have any relevance: Fri Jun 9 01:00:22 2006 kde-base/kdepim-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 01:13:50 2006 kde-base/kdeartwork-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 02:02:14 2006 kde-base/kdegames-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 03:03:28 2006 kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 03:38:41 2006 kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 04:58:46 2006 kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 05:10:35 2006 kde-base/kdeadmin-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 05:49:52 2006 kde-base/kdewebdev-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 06:36:05 2006 kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 07:27:37 2006 kde-base/kdeedu-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 07:58:41 2006 kde-base/kdeutils-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 08:04:36 2006 kde-base/kdetoys-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 08:04:45 2006 kde-base/kde-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 11:44:55 2006 kde-base/kde-3.5.3 Fri Jun 9 12:09:35 2006 media-libs/mesa-6.5-r3 Fri Jun 9 12:40:43 2006 app-doc/xorg-docs-1.2 Fri Jun 9 12:44:56 2006 net-libs/libsoup-2.2.93 Fri Jun 9 12:45:52 2006 net-misc/neon-0.25.5 Fri Jun 9 13:18:15 2006 media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2_pre20060328-r9 Fri Jun 9 13:18:46 2006 dev-util/scons-0.96.1 Fri Jun 9 13:22:01 2006 app-text/poppler-0.5.3 Fri Jun 9 13:23:51 2006 app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.3 Fri Jun 9 13:32:07 2006 gnome-base/gdm-2.14.8 Fri Jun 9 14:20:25 2006 sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1-r3 Fri Jun 9 14:20:29 2006 gnome-extra/hal-device-manager-0.5-r1 Fri Jun 9 15:29:24 2006 x11-libs/libXft-2.1.10 Fri Jun 9 15:30:33 2006 x11-terms/xterm-207-r1 Fri Jun 9 16:05:17 2006 x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.0 Fri Jun 9 16:05:53 2006 x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-1.2.1 Fri Jun 9 16:06:42 2006 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.1.2 Fri Jun 9 16:07:14 2006 x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev-0.3.0 Fri Jun 9 16:07:49 2006 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.1 Fri Jun 9 16:08:22 2006 x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0 Fri Jun 9 16:09:04 2006 x11-libs/libXcursor-1.1.7 Fri Jun 9 16:09:23 2006 x11-apps/mesa-progs-6.5 Fri Jun 9 16:13:25 2006 x11-libs/vte-0.12.2 Fri Jun 9 16:13:47 2006 x11-misc/xbindkeys-1.7.2-r1 I read my /var/log/portage-logs and didn't notice anything that needed to be done?

There is a bug with xorg 7.1 nvidia drivers [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130292]. Check your xorg-server xorg-x11 versions.
