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.

    [...] a while ago I wrote a post mentioning a problem with fonts when using RDP over FreeNX. Now it seems that the problem is fixed [...]
