Hi,

I am having a problem with the xfs font server and the Xwindows environment. I'm using the RHL9 kernel with RTLinux, the application has been running fine for years on multiple systems, but recently we changed CPUs and now I'm periodically getting microscopic fonts (1 out of 5 reboots). The other times the fonts come up perfectly normal.

I've tried changing settings for xfs and XF86Config but nothing seems to work. I've checked the system logs but haven't found anything. Has anyone else seen something like this? I'm running out of things to look for.

Thanks in advance,

Travis

Finally found the problem:

I had microfonts DDC loaded successfully (from /var/log/XFree86.0.log)

(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC supported
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC Level 2
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr. 1 sec.
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC read successfully

But when DDC failed the screen loaded correctly. I turned off DDC in the XF86Config file
