Description Yannick Koehler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-01-23 16:33:55 UTC 
I installed XFree86 v4.2.0 and it works!

I just get a wierd error about Speedo font... It may or may not interest 
someone...

The error is 

"Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing 
from list!"

Here's the content of that dir:

total 580
-r--r--r-- 1 root root  3214 Jan 23 10:38 encodings.dir
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 73994 Jan 23 10:38 font0419.spd
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 73570 Jan 23 10:38 font0582.spd

etc...

The dir itself is drwxr-xr-x 2 root root

tried to do: 

  mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/ ?

also check that you load the speedo module in XF86Config ...

I did the mkfontdir stuff without error, then checked that Speedo appeared
inside my FontPath list inside XF86Config.  Is that what you meant by module list?

This may be nice to fix.

Uhm, no. It should be loaded in the modules section:

Section "Module"
        ....
        Load            "bitmap"
        Load            "freetype"
        Load            "speedo"
   EndSection

Shouldn't the ebuild script do that?  Anyway I just added it, will be able to
tell soon if it worked fine (need to reboot X server)
Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-01-24 14:37:19 UTC 
Not really, as we currently do not setup XF86Config for you.  We could maybe
add a nice full featured one with comments, etc.
Comment 7 Yannick Koehler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-01-25 10:28:09 UTC 
Then this is an xfree bug as my XF86Config was generated by xf86config tools. 
It put the Speedo directory in but not inside the module list.

I guess we can close the bug in here as it's not related to gentoo install.
Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-02-11 10:03:17 UTC 
Think this can be considerd closed.  Will add a example config file sometime.
