Xorg/CDE bug, fixed in the last Xorg version 1.8.99.905

Xorg/CDE bug, fixed in the last Xorg version 1.8.99.905

[Michel Hummel]

Hello

I working on an bug With Xwin/Xorg and Solaris CDE WM which leads to
the freeze of the X server.

My research shows that this bug seems to be fixed in Xorg 1.8.99.905 (1.9 RC 5)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11301

I would like to try it, so I downloaded the source package :
* xorg-server-1.8.99.905.zip
and its dependencies :
* libXfont-1.4.2.zip
* xproto-7.0.17.zip

I successfully compiled the all but I can't run it, it gives me the
following error :

[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/TTF/, removing
from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, removing
from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element built-ins, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress

I 've tried to follow the FAQ :
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
but it didn't change anything


* The directories exist
* The fonts are at the good place (it's working with the Release:
1.8.2.0 (10802000))

perhaps i need to modify the fonts as I use a new version of the
libXfont package ?

Is someone can help me ?

Thanks,
Michel Hummel

See also the section "libXfont linkage issue" in [1].  That documentation 
needs to be updated to reflect the new reality once a libXfont is released 
containing that change.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Once this problem resolved, the server crashes with another message
(something like) :
--
assert failed (key->initialized); in privates.h
--

I've look in the header privates.h and deleted the assert test :

119 static inline void *
120 dixGetPrivateAddr(PrivatePtr *privates, const DevPrivateKey key)
121 {
122 //    assert(key->initialized);
123     return (char *) (*privates) + key->offset;
124 }

Then the server seems to start and work correctly without any device problem.

Do you have an idea about this new and last issues ?

Thanks,
Michel Hummel

You need the patch from [1]

[1] http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-August/011683.html

1.8.99.905 is a release candidate for the upcoming 1.9 release, you should 
expect minor issues like this if you choose to use it.
