In my search for a solution I've found someone with the same problem with a Matrox card. I've come to the conclusion that Xorg 7.3 is a crock - at least on FreeBSD - since I've never had some many problems under any previous version of Xorg, or XFree86. Is it possible to install Xorg 7.2 on FreeBSD 7.0? > FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, > should be 1; fixing. > Hmm, I see this too (although I think it is freetype on my box, not misc) - any idea what it means?
