Hi all, first time posting here.

I did a fresh new installation of slackware-current from scratch in
order to try out the new X11R7 with the visual stunning Xgl server. I've
not encountered a single compilation or configuration problems, but when
I startx and launch some applications that's not xterm, my fonts are
completely a mess, I mean, they are replaced with little continuos
lines. For example in firefox, as I start it the first page is ok, as
soon as i click something or just focus the application with the mouse,
the fonts magically became lines and I have to refresh or select them
all in order to make them visible again (very strange and random
behaviour). I'm trying to understand better freetype and fontconfig, but
still no luck. The only fonts I've installed on my system are those
which came with the latest CVS source of X11R7 (a lot!).

Please if you have any idea or can point me to some good lectures, let
me know.

it's a french forum :
http://forum.hardware.fr/hardwarefr/...42.htm#t808843

But if your firefox's screen looks like the screenshot in this forum
then you should disabled the option RenderAccel in xorg.conf ( it's a
bug in the proprietary nvidia driver )

Thank you, do you think that disabling renderAccel will conflict with
Xgl? Now i'm going to try, I will let you know

I don't know sorry. i haven't xorg 7 ( 6.9 here ), Xgl or a nvidia card.
I just found a thread in this forum that seems related with your problem.
