xfs cannot start - invalid stanzas in config file

Looks like the patches from xorg have gone missing. Fabio, any ideas?

hmm strage.. i am pretty sure i did merge them, but i might be mistaken and i
have no time
to work on universe packages. One of the MOTU will have to take care of it.

it may be a universe package, but we broke it, and so we need to fix it.

I just uploaded xfs 0.99.0-2 that fixed this upstream problem.

daniel you want to add -DFONTCACHE and relative checks to Makefile.am and
Makefile.in.

Well, xfs still broken but another way :

could you please install libxfont1-dbg, break on FontCacheChangeSettings, and
step through there to see what's broken?

well without the sources i wonder what I can examine, could you explain more please?
anyway I did a break on write to see where the error msg come from.

I must say also that these 2 error messages are only visible on stracing the program, nor on the standard error, nor
on the log file ! strange
write(2, "xfs fatal error: ", 17) = 17
write(2, "couldn\'t init renderer font cache\n", 34) = 34

As per discussion on irc.. new libxfont is on the way.

fixed in b to the reezy

This bug is back in dapper :D ! But this time xfs goes on running, while complaining at start.

version :
xfs 1.0.1-0ubuntu1 X font server
libxfont1 1.0.0-0ubuntu3 X11 font rasterisation library

Stopping X font server: xfs.
Setting up X font server socket directory /tmp/.font-unix...done.
Starting X font server: xfs/usr/bin/xfs error: CONFIG: unknown parameter "cache-hi-mark"
/usr/bin/xfs error: CONFIG: unknown parameter "cache-low-mark"
/usr/bin/xfs error: CONFIG: unknown parameter "cache-balance"

Ok upload on the way...

verified OK - thanks !
