Server aborting It's been discussed here before that the freetype module tends to crash. You could try the xtt module, using a font server or the 4.3.0 packages from http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/README instead (it was determined that the problems were caused by the freetype module's use of setjmp/longjmp, and a fix was implemented shortly before the 4.3.0 release). -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
