X11 not displaying clearly
I'm a long-time debian user, running unstable with gdm and collcted programs from gnome kde. I rebooted my system this morning and the X display has gone weird (there's no better way to put this as you'll see in the screenshot http://patter.mine.nu/screen.jpg ). Fluxbox looks OK with the right font and by pure luck xterms (gnome-terminal) are fine but anything else looks like a poor mosaic (some font selections make gnome-terminal look the same). I've run a full update with unstable the etch security updates but that hasn't fixed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- Stephen Patterson :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://patter.mine.nu/ GPG: B416F0DE :: Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't be silly, Minnie.

Did you try to run Xorg with the vesa driver? This might tell you if the problem is connected to the graphics driver or if it is a general fond rendering issue. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm not so sure this is related to fonts at all, since bitmaps are being drawn with the same effect. It looks suspiciously like someone is setting a stencil that everything gets drawn with.
