I need to run X with the fvwm window manager, but the F14 X server doesn't play nice with fvwm - or with twm. When fvwm or twm calls XCreateFontSet(), the X server dies with a SIGSEGV. To get around this, I have copied the F13 /usr/bin/Xorg server binary and /usr/lib/xorg/modules directory contents to my F14 system, and they work just fine with the F14 fvwm, F14 X libraries, and F14 fonts. While this workaround works, it's not exactly a good long term fix. Note that this workaround means the problem is with the F14 X server or its loadable modules, not the F14 fvwm. When twm is used, it calls XCreateFontSet() with a base_font_name_list argument different from that in the fvwm XCreateFontSet() call, and the F14 server dies, so the problem is not the font asked for by fvwm. -- Dick St. Peters, stpeters@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Gatekeeper, NetHeaven, Saratoga Springs, NY -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
