Animated wallpaper problem with 'xlock -inroot'

Shagbag · 2007-03-23 19:07:10

When I run

xlock -inroot -mode matrix

I get the message

xlock: can not find font: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1, using fixed...
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  182
  Current serial number in output stream:  189

Can anyone translate for me? I have very little idea what it means and no idea how to fix it

Set up other font

Shagbag · 2007-03-24 09:34:46

How do I do that?

I've installed xorg-fonts-100dpi-1.01-1 and xorg-fonts-75dpi-1.0.1-1 from current but I still get the same error.

Is there another package I need to install?

Change font in xscreensaver-demo

Shagbag · 2007-03-25 08:22:23

I can't see an option to change the font in the xscreensaver-demo GUI.
I read the xscreensaver-demo documentation and it hinted at the ~/.xscreensaver file.
I edited the line in that file:

font:        *-medium-r-*-140-*-m-*

to

font:        *-medium-r-*-100-*-m-*

and re-ran 'xlock -inroot -mode matrix'.

The text error has now gone, but I'm still getting the other errors:

[n00b@archlinux ~]$ xlock -inroot -mode matrix
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  202
  Current serial number in output stream:  209
[n00b@archlinux ~]$

Thanks for your help so far. Any other ideas?
