From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: When fonts are displayed in the application menu and varous dialogs, instead of text, a filled black box is presented. If the control is active, hovering over the box will cause the text to be rendered properly. If its inactive text, hovering another window above it and moving it will fix it as well. This is happening with both the provided Sans font and the user-installed Verdana font. This is Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pick an app 2. Maybe it'll display fonts funny 3. Maybe not...try again! :) Additional info: I'm using a Matrox G400 AGP card.
As a troubleshooting guide, please disable 2D acceleration with: Option "noaccel" Does this make the problem go away after you restart X?
Yep, that seems to have fixed it. Though (as expected) it did slow down moving and resizing windows. Any hints on how to resolve the fonts && keep the speed up?
Yes, we can work on that. Re-enable acceleration now by removing the above noaccel from your config and try instead using: Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" Does this solve the problem? Also, are you using single head or dual head? Can you attach your config file and XFree86 log file? I'm debugging Matrox issues right now.

XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps also fixes the problem. I'm running single head at this point. Thanks!
We believe this issue to be resolved in our currently shipping OS releases. Please upgrade to Fedora Core 2 or later, and if this issue turns out to still be reproduceable, please file a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.
