It seems to me that this is a serious bug in XFree86 3.3 :-(.
I have experienced similar problems with Netscape, and now I think that
the reason was the same - unavailable fonts in ISO-8859-2.

Sure, it is the problem with X. But you can get around this by
disabling some features through configuring.

Hi.

Maybe putting in "XkbDisable" will help.

This is an old bug in the terminfo entry for xterm.

I've got an ATI Mach64 card (ATI 264CT chipset) which was configured

They're there, I just downgraded myself. Look in rex-fixed or something
like that.
A couple of months ago I convinced a friend
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to change over from slackware to debian;
and in turn convinced some other people to do the same. He
was impressed (as I knew he would be) with debian until...
he upgraded to Xfree-3.3, now X no longer works. He's got

Someone sent me mail with the comment that X11_SVGA on the
non-TFT displays is a bear to configure properly.
He's right.
Unfortunately I lost his email address, and need to correspond
with him a bit more on the matter.

I get the same behavior with Matlab. So it is not an mc related issue.
It must be an XFree86 3.3 issue.

Hi,
I have a strange XTerm behaviour after upgrading to XFree 3.3-3.
When I start mc in a xterm I have trouble with the F-Keys:
F1 gives P
F2 gives Q
F3 gives R
F4 gives S
F5 - F10 work just fine.
When I start mc in a rxvt, all F-Keys work just fine.

Thanks for the blazing fast response. :) Tried that to no avail (using
accelx 3.1 and the SVGA server from 3.2 - just noticed I had that package
on hold as I was using accelx).. after downloading the SVGA server from
xfree86 3.3, things are working again.

Hi,
This happened to me too once. Try running "mkfontdir" in the affected
directories. If it's the same problem I had, that will fix it.

After upgrading to Xfree86 3.3 today, X does not complete startup, and
exits with the error:

Shouldn't the post-install script take care of this?

i don't really know what the problem was. i downgraded back to 3.2-6
and today i reinstalled 3.3-1 and everything worked fine. right now i
am upgrading a couple of other systems, so it will be interesting to
see if the problem reoccurs. btw, i did try to update the font

The `mkfontdir' from XFree86 3.2 appears not to handle *.gz files.
Rerun `mkfontdir' from XFree86 3.3 in all the font directories.
