From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) X 4.0.3 Has trouble displaying almost all text, See http://www.zip.com.au/~j_m/x4bug/bad-fonts-etc.jpg Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have XFree86 4.0.3 Installed on RH7, with SiS AGP 3d card. 2. Have XF86Config (http://www.zip.com.au/~j_m/x4bug/xf86config.1.txt) 3. startx Actual Results: Garbled Text (http://www.zip.com.au/~j_m/x4bug/bad-fonts- etc.jpg) Expected Results: http://gtk.themes.org/php/pic.phtml? src=themes/gtk/shots/982030697.jpg (would be nice) X 4.0.3 Has trouble displaying almost all text, and some graphics. A screenshot of the problem is available (http://www.zip.com.au/~j_m/x4bug/bad-fonts-etc.jpg) Notice how the font problem does not effect Nautilus icons and text, but does effect _all_ other programs, and is very bad on all gtk+ apps. (gtk is 1.2.9) The startx output is (http://www.zip.com.au/~j_m/x4bug/xoutput.txt) Ive played around with it a fair bit, loading modules and fontpaths etc. You will notice a couple of errors in the in the output file, but I belive that this is not associated with the problem. Graphics on the large part remain unnafected, only visually "heavy" apps (like mozilla) remain "sticky" on the desktop after they have been closed down. I belive this could be a seperate issue, but i'm mentioining it anyway. :-) I believe it may have something to do with the Xrender (aa) extention, or the way the xfs is loaded but I dont know how to test/disable this. I was going to get the latest KDE & QT (as this has the aa enabled) to see if i can get some action, but thats going to take its time on my dialup.... Does anyone has any other ideas, tests, troubleshooting tips, or need more info? Cheers. JM
Additional Info: My upgrade went from X3.3.6 to X4.0.2, I compiled X4.0.2, and then did the X4.0.3 binary upgrade straight away without testing, so I am unsure if the problem effects both versions.
You are using a non Red Hat release of 4.0.3 plopped on top of 4.0.2. XFree86 4.0.3 RPM's were out about 16 hours after 4.0.3 was official so... The problem is with your setup most likely. Use the latest Rawhide version instead, or to stay current: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris Just a note for the future, please don't provide URL's to gifs as the URL may disappear before the bug ever gets fixed. Instead, use the file attach link below and attach the screenshot or whatever. That makes it easiest for us as we don't need to rely on some remote server that may disappear, etc.. Thanks.
Fixed with Option "no_accel"
