Garbage for Text
I just got XFree 3.3.6 running on Debian 2.1r2, unfortunately the text is
unreadable. It appears as a whole bunch of vertical lines, or random
blocks. It appears this way at every resolution. However when I bring
up a menu the text is fine until I high-light it with my cursor. The text
remains this way even after the menu is closed and reopened. Everything
else appears fine.
If you know of any solutions please let me know, thanks.
