Font corruption under XF86 4.0
Hello, I recently moved from stable to testing, and in the process to XF86 (4.0.2-1). The problem that I am having is that fonts/text seem to get corrupted/not properly refreshed; i.e., when I originally type text everything is fine, but if I occlude the text (e.g. with another window) and then bring the text window to the foreground the fonts become corrupted (the fonts looks like they're missing some scanlines). Has anyone encountered with problem/know a solution? I'm using the neomagic driver (for a Thinkpad 560x). I'm using xfs-xtt for my font server, and played with the config there a bit, and am pretty sure that's not the issue. Speaking of which, however, does anyone know why fonts look worse through xfs? I put the same paths in /etc/X11/xfs/config's catalogue field as I have in XF86Config's FontPath fields, but if I go through xfs (i.e., if I have unix/:7100 listed as the first FontPath) the same fonts look different than when I put the unix/:7100 last. Please cc me with any replies, Thanks, Daishi
Re: Font corruption under XF86 4.0
Are you using the xfs-xtt font server or the xfs font server? You refer to both. AFAIK only the xfs font server works with version 4 and to use it you do need unix/:7100 in the front of the font paths. X starts with the first line and if it doesn't work, it tries the next line, etc. --- Daishi Harada [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I recently moved from stable to testing, and in the process to XF86 (4.0.2-1).

I think the problem is that xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi are not downloaded with dist-upgrade for some reason, as this sounds like how my display looked with just xfonts-base installed. -Rob On Mon, Jan 29, 2001 at 06:55:41AM -0800, Rick Loga wrote: Are you using the xfs-xtt font server or the xfs font server?
