Startup of xboing (should I admit this) fails inside the invocation of: XLoadQueryFont(display, "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") in init.c line 272 -- edited here for clarity. Some work with gdb seems to show that the problem is at the reply from the server to a request for info about the XFree86-Bigfont extension, which the server finds offensive in some way. I am running FC6, the driver in question is in the package: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.fc6 I downloaded xboing from: http://ftp.x.org/contrib/games/xboing2.4.tar.gz
The driver isn't directly involved with XFree86-Bigfont, reassigning.
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
(In reply to comment #0) > Startup of xboing (should I admit this) fails inside the invocation of: > XLoadQueryFont(display, "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") I ran into this while trying to fix #8784. It turns out that this is the result of the order of colors checked in xboing. You can also just hack xboing to only select the default colormap, in which case everything works perfectly. Once I fixed the colormap selection, I no longer had that message from XLoadQueryFont. I'm blaming this on xboing's colormap selection, because this exact same request works perfectly by itself if you have the font. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8784 ***
