Re: Help with xserver
I had this problem recently, and I believe that the solution may be to
reinstall the X fonts. The new xserver expects to find gzipped fonts,
and it is probably finding .Z files instead. Just download the various
xfnt*.deb packages, install them, and you'll be back in business.
