Looks like you can only load one TrueType renderer - either xtt or freetype.
You can try which one is better for you (if you really have TrueType fonts...)


*There's a bigger problem with 4.0b though*

Sinan made me aware that the glint driver doesn't work with fbdev, it dies
with a signal 11. This is probably due to changes in XFree86's fbdev support
code.

Until I fix this, people who want to use 4.0b glint must use a kernel with PCI
support. You can get the latest CVS or I'll try to put up a kernel in the next
few days.
