Hi,

I have compiled the version of XWin that comes with the X.Org
distribution (X11R7.1) using MS VS2003. The executable that results
from the compilation does run, but there are 2 problems.
I am running the X Server on Windows, while the Clients are running on
a VM running SuSe 9.2.

1. The fonts are not being rendered properly. That is whenever I load
an xterm, or any other X Client that uses text, in the place where
there is supposed to be text, I see rubbish.

2. The X Server does not refresh its window. I mean that whenever I
load a new X Client, or something changes on the screen, the X Server
does not refresh it. I have to minimize and resotre the Server window
so that the screen gets updated.

>From the problems I had before while trying to compile and run the
server, I would think that I am doing something wrong in the
compilation, maybe some preprocessor definition, but what? How do I
solve these problems?

Regards
Alan J. Caruana
