Xorg/CDE bug, fixed in the last Xorg version 1.8.99.905

[Michel Hummel <hummel dot michel at gmail dot com>]

Hello

I working on an bug With Xwin/Xorg and Solaris CDE WM which leads to
the freeze of the X server.

My research shows that this bug seems to be fixed in Xorg 1.8.99.905 (1.9 RC 5)
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11301

I would like to try it, so I downloaded the source package :
* xorg-server-1.8.99.905.zip
and its dependencies :
* libXfont-1.4.2.zip
* xproto-7.0.17.zip

I successfully compiled the all but I can't run it, it gives me the
following error :

[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/TTF/, removing
from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, removing
from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,
removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element built-ins, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress

I 've tried to follow the FAQ :
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
but it didn't change anything


* The directories exist
* The fonts are at the good place (it's working with the Release:
1.8.2.0 (10802000))

perhaps i need to modify the fonts as I use a new version of the
libXfont package ?

Is someone can help me ?

Thanks,
Michel Hummel
