the X11 in debian/unstable is very broken right now. It requires HAL
which i replaced with a dummy package and now the "DontZap" option in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf is also broken... I can't quit X11 with ctrl+alt+bs
anymore...
I have that problem as well and I am using the real HAL package.
Is that HAL dependency supposed to make it into stable?
I suppose yes, but I don't know. And I think it has nothing to do with
the DontZap problem.
I would like to know so because then I can move our machines to another
distro soon enough before the shit hits the fan.
Dude, calm down. It's just a package. :)
J.
if i remember correctly "DontZap" was supposed to fix ctrl+alt+bs in X11
when no HAL was installed... now it seems i can't even change the X11
resolution anymore without HAL...
it's not just a package... it's an indicator for debian losing touch
with it's main user base: people who dont want all that stuff Ubuntu
offers, especially annoyingly, interfering junk like HAL...
i bet it wont even matter anymore if i compile X11 myself, huh?
debian should really have waited until HAL was obsoleted by something
better like devicekit...
