[Dri-devel] problem with fonts and console (voodoo5)

[Freud <fr...@io...>]

Hello all,
 
I am trying to get my TrueType Fonts to work on DRI, however, I am not 
really su
cceeding. The weird thing is, all my FontPath lines are commented out, 
however I
 am seeing fonts...where are these fonts listed?
When I comment these lines in, iow removing the #, when i reboot, the 
server won
t come up.
I install my ttf fonts the following way:
I copy all my *.ttf files to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
I go to that directory, and type: ttmkfdir (or ttmkfontdir) -o fonts.dir
I add the correct FontPath to /etc/X11/XF86Config
xset fp rehash 
Now, with xfontsel, I dont see them. When I reboot, the server does come 
up, how
ever I dont have the fonts..    
 
The second problem I have, is that when the X server is started, I 
cannot get in
to console anymore. When I hit CTL-ALT-F1/F6, all i get is a black 
screen.
This happens all the time...
I have a voodoo5,  linux kernel 2.4.0-test4.I am using DRI from 
yesterday (28th).

Thanks in advance for your help, you are doing a wonderful job!
