Problem solved! I found in the old 3.3.6 XFree86 FAQ a reference to a program
called SuperProbe which told me my video chipset is a Cirrus 5464 which is one
of the options on the dexter configurator.

I thought so, and I tried that last night after I posted this message. It
allowed me to start my X server but enlightenment complained that it was too
primitive to perform certain functions:
This X server does not support the shape function.
This is required for enlightenment to run.

Well, yah, it shouldn't have been. 8^/= I was doing the right thing,

This is not XF4-specific but does give a good guide to getting ttfs
running in X in general, plus all the required tools can be downloaded in
a single tarball.
It would make sense if ttmkfdir was included with freetype, but it appears
not to be.

What's the exact path to ttmkfdir on your box? I do
ttmkfdir in the ttf dir :) Add the path to your fonts section in
XF86Config, freetype to the modules section (you already did both, it

It'll be in when the X maintainer decides that his packages are stable

Hi there,
You can actually install the XFree4.0.1 release from the binaries
on the XFree86.org site. All works like a dream, you don't need to compile
from source! However it screws up the package management of course! But so
does compiling from source!
Also I suggest that one runs 'update
I have a r128 (and a matrox mga) w/xfree 4.0.1 also, I too see these
errors every time I startx. It's actually comforting to hear someone else
having the same problem ;o)
It is *definitely* nice to see the performance increase on the rage128, it
is also much improved for 4.0.1 than just flat 4.0.

I did the same thing you did and I get those same errors. It doesn't seem
to hurt anything so I always i
I had the same problem. It turned out I needed

then I had to update /etc/X11/XF86Config:

The xfree86 maintainer's website [1] clearly states why
no debs are available, when they will get available and for whom
they are made available in the first instance.

No debs yet - a few people report installing from the binaries quite
happily, and I know a couple of people who compiled source and got it
working too.
Lazy me is waiting for the debs :)

S'alright. I got a bit excited myself when I saw the XFree packages being
upgraded when I did my last dist-up
Hrm.
I jumped the gun, assuming the fact that my apt-get -s upgrade this
morning wanted to do an X upgrade. It appears its just gone from 3.3.6-8
to 3.3.6-9.
