Xephyr server Error

[dougcn]

Hi,

I just installed maemo 5 final sdk on a Ubuntu8.10 in VirtualBox3.0.6(Hosted by WindowsXP). The installation goes well, but when I start Xephyr server, it will complain two errors, one is a font problem(cyrillic font is missed, the required folder does not exist）, the other gives this message: "unrecognised device identifier!".

The detailed information is as follows:

notroot@notroot-laptop:~$ Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -kb &
[3] 5559
[2] Done Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -kb
notroot@notroot-laptop:~$ Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!
unrecognised device identifier!
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
unrecognised device identifier!
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
unrecognised device identifier!
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
unrecognised device identifier!
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed

How to fix these errors? Or Can I just ignore them?

Thank you in advance.

Those errors are coming from Xephyr settings on your host system.
It seems that hotplugging is disabled and that' why you have messages
NewInputDeviceRequest failed. They are quite harmless and you can ignore
them safely.
Also it searches for Cyrillic fonts.
You can see the similar message from Xorg log on the host system.
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep cyrillic
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
To fix that you need to install Cyrillic fonts (xfonts-cyrillic package in Ubuntu).
Another option is to ignore this message.
