Bug#458692: Starts X regardless of whether keyboard is correctly setup
Package: xinit Version: 1.0.7-1 Severity: normal When running startx with a full /var I discovered ALT didn't work. I initially thought this was some higher level package like gtk or xfce that was causing the problem but in fact it was X and specifically startx which keeps going when xkbcomp fails. I get a log like (copied by hand because /var was full): The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Error: bad length in CompatMap Output file /var/tmp/server-0.xkm removed Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server If I make some space on /var then everything works again. I would have thought it was preferable to stop X from starting in such situations or at least to make the error more obvious. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii cpp 4:4.2.1-6 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii x11-common1:7.3+6X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc xinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#336226: .ICE-unix not correctly created
Hi Julien, On Fri, Feb 02, 2007 at 05:27:08PM +0100, Julien Cristau wrote: /tmp/.ICE-unix is supposed to be created by /etc/init.d/x11-common at startup. Is any of you able to reproduce this problem recently? Yeah I think we can probably close this. If you deliberately remove it and don't reboot then it won't be created with the right permissions but there isn't a lot you can do about that really. If I move it out of the way xfce4 still starts with startx (though it's possible that starting it a second time would fail). X looks to be doing mostly the right thing for sane setups. -- Simon [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] *\ Cardinal Fang!

Bug#295530: [siliconmotion] Corrupted display on external monitor if external res built-in res

e.g. my internal display does 1024x768 and the external LCD does
1280x1024 so anything from 1024 - 1280 is corrupted. The corruption
takes the form of two copies of the righthand most parts of the display
which look normal with blues changed to red and then blues changed to
green.
It sounds like:

I've not been able to build X myself to test this yet however. I need
to find a host with enough disk and time to do it.
Just to confirm I rebuilt -11 with the attached patch and it did indeed
solve this so if you want some low-hanging fruit to please a humble user
please apply this... :)
I just dropped the following as 083a_siliconmotion_widthfix.diff in
debian/patches. It is just the patch in the URL above but rejigged so
the build system doesn't barf and I've now confirmed it fixes this bug.
Simon.

x-window-manager - what must it provide?
[Please honour my Mail-Followup-To] Hi, I'm trying to work out what the intended purpose of x-window-manager is. This is prompted by bug 194195. wdm thinks that x-window-manager should provide an X session with a way to launch applications and so on. xfwm4 ships as an alternative to x-window-manager because it's a window manager. However all the menuing, panel, other bits and bobs are provided in other components of XFce. Basically I want to know if xfwm4 should be saying it's an alternative to x-window-manager - given it provides the positioning, window border bits - or if more is needed in order to satisfy being x-window-manager. I read policy but it didn't really seem to specify much just gave points for different bits.
