Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2005-11-29 18:09:21 UTC

Looks like xorg-x11-server's configure.ac needs this change at line 346:

-FONTDIR="${libdir}/X11/fonts"
+FONTDIR="${datadir}/X11/fonts"

Not sure if that fixes it?

# rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
xorg-x11-server-Xvfb-1.0.1-6
# strings /usr/bin/Xvfb |grep /usr
/usr/share/X11/rgb

Appears to be fixed in RAWHIDE.
