Confirming, that adding the Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" indeed fixes the problems for the current drivers in unstable. Thanks for the tip.

So the bug is clearly in xorg somewhere. Any ideas? Please ask for more information, I don't know what could be relevant as I don't understand fonts much. Please send the whole output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg/script 3>&1 after reinstalling the xserver-xorg-core and drivers from unstable. Assuming the bug is in xserver-xorg-core, you might want to try 2:1.4-3 which was in unstable one week ago and is downloadable from http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/09/30/debian/pool/main/x/xorg-server/ Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
