please post "grep -i fontpath /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
As discussed some time ago in #-amd64-dev and #-games, this is actually a bug. The proposed patch works fine, although it hides the actual bug, which is that xblockout crashes when it tries to set a fallback font after the default fails.
Why does loading the default font fail?
Honestly, I don't know. If you want to check in your arch, try: # xbl -bigfont '-*-*-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -font '-*-*-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' If you see "Some problems when loading a font... trying others"... you have it. iirc on x86 it wasn't a problem because the fallback font was loaded successfully.
amd64 keyword dropped.
A Fix is now in portage. Thanks
(In reply to Tupone Alfredo from comment #10) > A Fix is now in portage. Thanks Still appears to be an issue with 1.1.5-r1 and 1.1.6. (In reply to Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) from comment #8) > # xbl -bigfont '-*-*-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -font > '-*-*-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' This works thou.
