I run the same versions of X and LyX... And the same X server. > The same thing happens on another PC with a Matrox Millenium 8 MB and > an EIZO F56 (same software versions). Did you try switching to a different window manager?

Which font server are you running? I just realized that I'm running XFree86 3.3.6-11, but with the font server from X 4.0.1: $ dpkg -l xfs* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-================-================-================================================ ii xfs 4.0.1-0phase2v15 X font server pn xfs-xtt <none> (no description available) ii xfstt 1.1 TrueType Font Server for X11 I had tried X 4.0.1, and then switched back to 3.3.6, but it seems that some packages remained... I don't know if this package is too different from the one which came with 3.3.6, but it seems to work here. Maybe you'd like to try getting the newer .deb of xfs at http://www.debian.org/~branden and install it by hand? Hope this helps...
