Description Kurt Peppard 2005-11-29 22:37:29 UTC
Error states:

Duplicate symbol __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx in
/usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a:bitmapmod.o

Also defined in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a

Fatal Server Error:
Module Load Failed

(Please note, doing a manual configure, then issuing the command "xstart" also
results in the error message "Module Load Failed." 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge Xorg
2. env-update [followed by] source /etc/profile
3. Xorg -configure

Actual Results:  
Error Codes - no final result

Expected Results:  
hmmmm - perhaps Xorg should have worked? (sorry, It's late at night)

Sorry, I'm still a Linux Newby. Copy and Paste is not a problem, but, I need to
figure out how to do such a thing on the Linux Box with only one screen
available at a time.

I did, however, emerge kde-meta (both before and after - yes, I wanted to play
with the bells and whistles) merging Xorg. I had time that I needed to spend
elsewhere, so, decided to let emerge do its thing. Could this potentially have
caused the "fatal" error?

Perhaps I could attempt to save a text file to floppy, and move it to the M$2k
box. Let me know what files you want.

Thanx

(PS - I won't say in the next field that this is a normal bug. I just haven't
been able to find on your website nor the Xorg wiki anything like it. So, it
must be something I've done).

emerge --info missing, assuming dupe.
