I just realized that current/XFree86-4.1.0_12,1 core dumps with either
kde or gnome. I seems to work fine with twm. It dumps at the same
place when starting x with both.
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Sp
I had the same problem with the version of XFree86 that is now in the ports
collection, I installed an earlier version of XFree86-4.1.) that I had from
last Fall last week and it appears to work fine...something that changed
recently in XFree86 (or Current) appears to be causing the problem
I suspected that because I just upgraded to the latest and greatest:-) unless
4.2 comes back soon. I've found that several other programs like mplayer are
also coredumping. I guess my decision is now to go forward to 4.2 or back.
Thanks for confirming that I'm not the only one. :-)
