After a successful upgrade of kernel and world r187968M:two days ago and a successful (sic!) update of X to server 1.5.3 and friends I have decided to give 1.6 a try. I have tried this both with intel and nv driver (my laptop has both but only one can be active at the time - switchable at the boot time). 1. First thing, I have lost access to my legacy X11 fonts. [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list! [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing from list! [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF, removing from list! etc. I get: % xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi xset: bad font path element (#23), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax There is no more a "freetype" and "xtrap" module, so I had to change by config. Gtk applications (seamonkey) and Qt (psi) have no problems with fonts, but xterm does. xterm is unable to locate any bitmap font (fallback to "fixed") and when told to use Freetype fonts (-fa 'Luxi Mono-10' option) it looks like black text on black background (my xterm has a white fb, black bg). You can issue commands in such a window (the letter spacing is preserved and the cursor moves), but xterm segfaults when there is a need to scroll. xterm -bg white segfaults immediately, xterm has been recompiled after 1.6 installation. 2. Once (when running NVidia) the server froze, i.e. I could only move mouse and no keys worked (including server zap, switching VTs or Ctrl-Alt-Del). This happened when displaying a fast-scrolling ./configure output of the libXfont in a full-screen xterm window. The freeze doesn't look like a http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17358 however. I am using dwm as the window manager. A bunch of config files and output from various commands is available at: http://akson.sgh.waw.pl/~saper/FreeBSD/ports/xorg-server/xorg-1.6/ --Marcin
