Maybe this isn't the best place to mention this, but here goes.
I grabbed XFree 4.4.0 the other night and installed it over a modified
Slack 9.0 install. Modified mostly because it has glibc 2.3.2, (I
grabbed the XFree 4.4.0 precompiled binaries for glibc2.3) and kernel
2.6.3. I don't know if this is a font issue, or a problem with Xnest or
xterm. But I noticed a problem. Whenever I start an Xnest (from within
an already running X session) with the command Xnest :1 -ac &, then as
root run windomaker with wmaker -display :1 & ... I have a dock icon
that did with with 4.3.0, that basically loaded an xterm with a 10x20
font, but instead, I get this error:
root@tor:~# xterm -fn 10x20 -display :1
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Serial number of failed request: 49
Current serial number in output stream: 50
Insufficient resources? I have a 64 meg Geforce2 card and 512 megs of
ram! It also happens with the 6x12 font and 6x9 font... Also, I said
before, this worked before I upgraded to 4.4.0, when I was on 4.3.0. I
should probably also note I'm using NVidia's latest drivers (1.0-5336).
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Should I open a bugzilla account?
Any help would be appreciated...
