Fo what its worth, i am using freetype 2.2.1-2 with xorg 7 on a debian based sun ray server and its fine.
Are console logins on the server crashing as well or is it only the sun rays? Its been a bit of a battle to get a happy xorg server with fonts etc maybe your problems lie there. Have you looked at your xorg logs maybe even your gdm/xdm logs? NIck On 17/06/06, ottomeister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

So with libfreetype6-2.1.7-2.4 SRSS is OK, and with 2.1.7-2.5 it's broken? If you're getting logged out then it sounds as though the Sun Ray X server (Xnewt) is crashing. Xnewt is based on the Xorg server, and the Xorg server has some dependencies on parts of libfreetype6 that it really shouldn't be depending on. Maybe the new build of libfreetype6 is not binary-compatible with the old one, although from a quick look at the Debian patch source I don't see any changes that would obviously break compatibility. Are X server core files being generated? Can you get a stack trace from the core files? If the server has a console then does an X server running on the console crash in the same way? I've seen no other reports of crashes after installing a libfreetype6 patch, but this patch is fairly new so perhaps other people just haven't got around to installing it yet. Or maybe the patches for other distros don't produce this problem. OttoM. __ ottomeister Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
