Hi David, > You can either set DefaultFontPath in your host.def > to change the compiled-in I got the Xvesa server working by specifying the correct font path inside the host.def. The device is now able to initialize the VESA VGA screen, and display text and graphics properly. Thanks for this help! The Xvesa server I built with the 4.5.0 sources seems to have one bug: when I switch from X to the console using CTRL-ALT-F1, it hangs when I try to switch back to X using ALT-F5 (5 is the GUI session). The screen displays the background window panes of the wxWidgets-based application, but it does not re-draw graphic images or text. After it hangs, the video is locked up and the keyboad dies a few keystrokes later. I'm currently Googling for a solution, and trying some things. For example, I just tried a completely stock host.def with no changes other than my fixed font path - but it still hung when I tried to come back from console mode. Any suggestions for making the Xvesa program survive going to console mode and back? thanks ! __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.
