short: how i can see resp. say - yes it fixes my problems but it only
revert my system back to the state before FT2-update.
longer:
- gdm2 now displays fonts again.
- nautilus2 and some other gnome-programs still have the
same problem with Xinerama. exact like the screenshot i sent you.
- i also tried to build (not install) pango-1.0.1 but it fails with the
same errors as i sent you before.actually i've installed pango-1.0.2.
the interesting thing is that, not like you've written, nautilus
displayes fonts after FT-update. before your patches, as i've seen,
only gdm2(graphical) and the spash-screen doesn't displays text.
i hope i was able to help you. please tell me if you need more.
