I'm no expert, but based on the above (modules located in /usr/lib/xorg/modules) and the below, I think I know the problem. > > Here is the full error log: > [... snipped typical font errors ] > /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID > (==) RgbPath set to "/etc/X11/rgb" > (**) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" --------------------------------^^^^^ that's where xorg is looking for the modules, but not where they are located. I bet you had a symlink there from the xf86 upgrade that was finally removed. either link it back or change xorg.conf to look in the right spot. > (**) Option "BlankTime" "3" > (**) Option "StandbyTime" "8" > (**) Option "SuspendTime" "12" > (**) Option "OffTime" "20" > (**) Ignoring ABI Version > (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) > (II) Module ABI versions: > X.Org ANSI C Emulation: 0.3 > X.Org Video Driver: 1.0 > X.Org XInput driver : 0.6 > X.Org Server Extension : 0.3 > X.Org Font Renderer : 0.5 > (II) Loader running on linux > (II) LoadModule: "bitmap" > (WW) Warning, couldn't open module bitmap > (II) UnloadModule: "bitmap" > (EE) Failed to load module "bitmap" (module does not exist, 0) not loaded because it right, they don't exist, as far as xorg and the above path are concerned.
