There was a whole bunch of stuff that got upgraded at the same time. I use nvidia-1.0.4191-r1 and XFree-4.2.99.4 ... baselayout changed about the same time. I didn't know where to look to discover why mozilla segfaulted and X response was so slow. It turned out to be a font problem. /etc/fonts/fonts.conf used to work OK but now it seems to need to have font directories listed that have no subdirectories, so <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> is not good enough any more. This may have nothing to do with your problem of course, but it may be worth a look. Peter -- Gentoo-1.4.3.2 Unstable. KDE: 3.1.0 Qt: 3.1.0 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ 512MB. Kernel: 2.4.20-xfs_pre5-pnr.
