Hi,
For a few months now, I've been experiencing random xfs (the font server,
not the filesystem ;-)) crashes on my laptop running FC Dev. As it was a
system installed with FC back in January, which had run a binary
distribution of XFree86 4.4RC (because the Radeon Mobility 9600 is not
supported by 4.3), then upgraded to FC2, FC Dev and had plenty of custom
fonts here and there, I didn't bother much to look for the problem.
Me too. I've had this under FC2 ever since it came out. But I could
never figure out a good way of reproducing it.
For me, additional symptoms where that some gtk1 apps (take, say, xmms
or vncviewer) suddenly were using a font like courier. At other times,
I had the same problem as you - the whole machine locking up, and only
logging in remotely and restarting xfs would help.
It's quite maddening, since I never found a trigger for it allowing me
to reproduce it. But you're not seeing ghosts.
