My XF86Config did get updated but the fontpath lines weren't changed. After some testing, I think I've found the problem though I don't know how to find any more information on it. Apparently the font server and/or the Type1 fonts are causing the problem. Removing FontPath "unix/:7100" and FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" fixes the problem. Why exactly it fixes it, I don't know. Any ideas on how to further track this down so I can either fix it completely or file a bug if necessary? -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
