I'm seeing this same problem. I'm trying to use Xephyr to connect to a host using XDMCP, using this command:
Xephyr :1 -query <ip address> It works with Xnest (except for the fact that it looks terrible). If I run the same command except with "-verbosity 1000" I also see this extra output: (II) config/hal: initialized(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!
