This has been assigned to a developer for further review. I forgot to add: bug is 100% reproducable. I run startx (with xfs being the only item in my FontPath), it tries to connect to xfs and resolve "fixed" and xfs immediatelly crashes... Please make sure that the path in your xfs.conf is correct. If there are any directories listed in that file that are not present, xfs coredumps. When I had unexisting directories in the config file, xfs was politely telling me about that (in xfs-errors) and exiting, not dumping core. I just double-checked - all directories do exist. If you want, I can send you the rest of the strace log where xfs succesfully reads all font.dir files. I can confirm that this bug exists. The fs/config file shipped with XFree86-3.3.3 refers to directories which do not exist, but xfs merely complains politely about those. When you fix the path in fs/config, xfs crashes upon receiving its first request. Downgrading to 3.3.2.3 fixes the problem. *** Bug 511 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Running RedHat 5.1, upgraded to the December XFree86 updates including XFree86-xfs-3.3.3-1.i386.rpm. Now if I try to use xfs, it segfaults as X tries to start up, making X die shortly afterward. strace on xfs revealed nothing useful. Since I'm running kernel 2.2.0pre7, I verified that it also had problems on 2.1.130, which it does. I'm using the SVGA server with an S3 Virge on a Cyrix 6x86/166+. To work around the problem, I have stopped using the font server, but I'd like to be able to use it. ------- Additional Comments From ayn2 01/16/99 21:55 ------- This is a duplicate of #511 this is fixed in a forthcoming errata release of XFree86 3.3.3.1. |
