FC6 FreeNX RDP and fonts
For the past few months I have been using FreeNX a lot for remote support of all kinds of server. I got so used to this tool and now I have a problem with it. After I have installed Fedora Core 6 on my laptop, the NXclient does not show any fonts/text in the remote window during the RDP sessions :(
I have checked everything I could, but still can not fix the problem, so if you have the same problem and you get a fix, please let me know, since my life is getting harder with no FreeNX :(
Hi,
the problem seems to be related to X composite option.
Try prepending your xorg.conf with:
Section “ServerFlags”
Option “AIGLX” “off”
EndSection
Section “Extensions”
Option “Composite” “Disable”
EndSection
This might be the way, but then all the effects provided by AIGLX and Composite will go away :).
Maybe there is a way to tweak things around so everything will work :)
Have you found a solution for this? It’s happening to me on Fedora 7. Disabling the Composite fixes it but then I lose use of Beryl.
