 |
|
Hi all,
I'd like my system to work as well as possible and, while it seems to run smoothly, the Xorg.0.log file outputs some puzzling warnings. I've tried searching for answers, but couldn't come up with anything. If folks could lend a hand, I'd appreciate it.
The first problem is as follows:
| Code: |
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/encodings/".
Entry deleted from font path.
(Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/share/fonts/encodings/").
|
The next is strange as I don't have mode lines specifying these resolutions.
| Code: |
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1152x768":
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (1178) not a multiple of 8
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "576x384":
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (589) not a multiple of 8
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "360x200":
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (378) not a multiple of 8
|
Finally there is this and, yes, those directories do exist 
| Code: |
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/local/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/util/, removing from list!
|
If need be, let me know what bits of xorg.conf to post (or even whether I should post it all).
Thanks.
Alex |

evoweiss,
Thats just xorg working out what it can use and what it can't.
You don't need to fix anything.

don't know exactly.
try mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/encodings/ and try fc-cache -fv as root

if you have a monitor capable of DPMS (any newer model should have this).
try adding
| Code: | Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS" |
to the Monitor Section instead of setting HorizSync and VertRefresh
perhaps these things will help you. |

I have the same warnings. Here's the relevant info from my xorg.conf: | Code: |
Section "Monitor"
...
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "true"
Option "DPMS"
...
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
... |

My guess is that you have the above directories in xorg.conf in your "Files" section after FontPath. You simply need to remove the 2 corresponding FontPath lines, and this problem should go away. |
