Re: [gentoo-user] font problem after xorg-server upgrade
Hi, I spent some time to solve this kind of issue, but no results. In the GDM I got at least 400px high characters instead of 12 :) Using Beryl all windows do not refresh their contents, just a snapshot visible in the window area. If I resize the window, I got a new snapshot, but (ab)normally refresh are never happens: windows, popups, menus etc. I have this kind of graphics card in my fujitsu siemens amilo pi1505 laptop: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) With metacity seems everything working well, I have no font issues (except GDM login page). In xorg.conf the DisplaySize ignored. Does anybody have any positive results with the new xorg-server/i810 driver?

Re: [gentoo-user] font problem after xorg-server upgrade
I had this kind of problem. I only had this problem with GDM: huge fonts (some thousands of pixels :) Other problems caused was beryl+firefox and other application crashes, cannot change its window etc. I downgraded to 1.2.x My personal opinion is that is not a solution if I had to tweak all the system to get it working.

I've had my share of font related problems and most of them were related to changes to the DPI. You might find yourself in the same situation. Drivers sometimes make an educated guess to set the DPI. If the driver or X server changes the algorithm, the DPI changes and so does the appearance of fonts. You can avoid this by setting the DPI[1] manually. For other font related tips you can have a look at the gentoo wiki[2] [1] http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Set_DPI_(Dots_Per_Inch) [2] http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

No, I had even worse one - I have 2-headed intel card (internal laptop LCD + external one) and use them as separate screens (:1.0 and :1.1). After the upgrade, it seqfaults, I want to post a bug against it as soon as I have a bit of time. Now I'm back at the old one and have no time to spare too, so this one waits. However, for what I heard of this version, it is somewhat more buggy than I like. I would suggest you to post a bug as soon as you can.

[gentoo-user] font problem after xorg-server upgrade
Yesterday after a normal emerge -uND world and reboot the fonts in X went haywire. They all jumped in size to, I'm guessing, 100pt or more making KDE completely unusable. After rebooting into the console and some investigation I discovered that if I downgraded to xorg-server 1.2.0-r3 (from 1.3.0.0) and xf86-video-i810 1.7.4 (from 2.0.0) the problem went away. No config was changed during the emerge (except hdparm). Has anyone else had this problem? Do I need to file a bug? I'm snowed under with work this week so I don't have time to experiment.
