xlibmesa3 conflicts with libqt2.2-dev
I just upgraded all my X packages, and notice a problem with the OpenGL pacakages. mesag3 conflicts with xlibmesa3, which is to be reasonable expected (can't have two versions of mesa on my system). However, libqt2.2-dev (but not libqt2.1-dev) require mesag3. Thus development with the latest Qt and the latest X is impossible. This might just be a question of updating the libqt dependencies, I really don't know. I do wonder which the 3D features of Qt are, though.

My experiences making .debs of 4.0.1 for potato
Hello! I have downloaded the source that Branden release as phase2-v29 and then try to make the packages. 1- try to simple debuild, and failed in compiling 2- read the docs and findout build-depends ;-) 3- installed almost everything, couldn't find dpkg 1.7 nor glide3-dev. 4- debuild again... failed agin... but redirect the output to a file. 5- discover that glide3/* was required for some tdfx*. 6- I disabled in the xc/config/cf/host.def the HasGlide3 and debuild again. 7- compiled ok, but no .deb created. 8- in rules I saw in install the checking for MANIFEST.i386 MANIFEST.i386.new. The problem was the missing *tdfx* 9- deleted that line, dbuild again but some .deb failed. It stop when making xserver-xfree86. The problem was the malformed Depends: line in the control file generated. 10- looking further I discover that dh_movefiles didn't move the files, so dh_shlibdeps didn't make the Depends line correctly. 11- It also didn't move the files of xutils. 12- the contents of xutils.files and xserver-xfree86.list ar ok. They exist in th tmp/ dir in the right locations. 13- I saw some errors about dpkg not found. Why dh_movefiles failed? Is it anything to do with dpkg = 1.7? If it is, where is a potato dpkg = 1.7 package? (It isn't in proposed updates nor experimental) -- Carlos Barros. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Sudden problems with keymap
Hi I have been using the XFree4 debs successfully for a while now, but this morning I upgraded to phase2v30, and suddenly my keyboard is not working right. Let me explain: At least in Norway, we have two different Alt-keys - "Normal" Alt, or Meta in emacs, and AltGr, which is used to type letters such as '@' (AltGr-2), and lots of others. Now after restarting X, the AltGr is just a second Meta, which, I think you would agree, is sub-optimal. At least it makes it a bit hard to write e-mail.. :) The keyboard has been working fine with all the previous releases, or at leas the ones I have tested. Is this just a bug in the most recent release, or should I change some setting? De-commented, the interesting config section looks like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" Option "Xleds" "1 2 3" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "no" Option "XkbCompat" "" EndSection Ideas?

Re: missing joystick_drv.o
Aye, I noticed that too. If I tried enabling that option in the host.def, it complains about missing MAGIC_INIT.

It basically works with kernel 2.2.17, but not with 2.4.0-test[9,10]. With the 2.4 kernel the system locks up, nothing but a reset helps me. This should be a NVidia driver issue, right? It worked back then when I had a Voodoo3 2000. What does not work with the 2.2.17 is OpenGL. Whenever I try to run a OpenGL-application like the Q3A demo or Tuxracer, the X Server crashes. I followed the NVidia installation instructions closely, and since it works for others I thought this might be a XFree-Debian issue. The server reports no further errors, just that it received signal 11. Are there any known problems?

I broke my G400 DRI
Greetings everyone. I broke my G400's DRI. I honestly don't recall changing anything, but once upon a time it worked, and now it does not. The error I keep getting is rather simple: $ glxinfo X Error of failed request: 80 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 49153 Current serial number in output stream: 25 I don't know quite what to check next. So, I am hoping some nice kind soul out there can help me bring my G400's GL back to life. I am currently using Matrox's mga_drv.o (605779 bytes). Using the XFree86 supplied driver didn't change much, I don't recall. (Though those numbers may have been different.) I am running Linux Kernel 2.4.0-test7 (mainly since I have heard problems of DRM v1 / v2 problems with test9). I get this problem with the agpgart and mga modules loaded. Removing those modules before starting X will not give this error, but q3demo runs in software mode, and j3d (the reason why I am working on this now rather than just putting it off :) causes an X crash when I close the j3d window.

Hi Branden,
I'm not sure if you should receive this email, so if this is a NVidia
driver problem please tell me so. :-)
This should have gone to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not to Branden.
As far as NVidia drivers not working, to be perfectly blunt it is their
problem, they insist on closed drivers with horribile licenses, which
means we can't support them at all, send the bug report their way.

Another thing that doesn't work is my Logitech PS/2 scroll mouse. imwheel
doesn't seem to receive the wheel moving events. In the attached XF86Config
you can see how I configured ZAxisMapping, is it wrong how I did it?
gpm installed, repeating in the protocol it calls ms3 and X11 calls
IntelliMouse, with X reading from /dev/gpmdata, that works just fine.

My experiences making .debs of 4.0.1 for potato
Hello! I have downloaded the source that Branden release as phase2-v29 and then try to make the packages. 1- try to simple debuild, and failed in compiling 2- read the docs and findout build-depends ;-) 3- installed almost everything, couldn't find dpkg 1.7 nor glide3-dev. 4- debuild again... failed agin... but redirect the output to a file. 5- discover that glide3/* was required for some tdfx*. 6- I disabled in the xc/config/cf/host.def the HasGlide3 and debuild again. 7- compiled ok, but no .deb created. 8- in rules I saw in install the checking for MANIFEST.i386 MANIFEST.i386.new. The problem was the missing *tdfx* 9- deleted that line, dbuild again but some .deb failed. It stop when making xserver-xfree86. The problem was the malformed Depends: line in the control file generated. 10- looking further I discover that dh_movefiles didn't move the files, so dh_shlibdeps didn't make the Depends line correctly. 11- It also didn't move the files of xutils. 12- the contents of xutils.files and xserver-xfree86.list ar ok. They exist in th tmp/ dir in the right locations. 13- I saw some errors about dpkg not found. Why dh_movefiles failed? Is it anything to do with dpkg = 1.7? If it is, where is a potato dpkg = 1.7 package? (It isn't in proposed updates nor experimental) -- Carlos Barros.
Sudden problems with keymap
Hi I have been using the XFree4 debs successfully for a while now, but this morning I upgraded to phase2v30, and suddenly my keyboard is not working right. Let me explain: At least in Norway, we have two different Alt-keys - Normal Alt, or Meta in emacs, and AltGr, which is used to type letters such as '@' (AltGr-2), and lots of others. Now after restarting X, the AltGr is just a second Meta, which, I think you would agree, is sub-optimal. At least it makes it a bit hard to write e-mail.. :) The keyboard has been working fine with all the previous releases, or at leas the ones I have tested. Is this just a bug in the most recent release, or should I change some setting? De-commented, the interesting config section looks like this: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard1 Driver Keyboard Option AutoRepeat 500 30 Option Xleds 1 2 3 Option XkbVariant nodeadkeys Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel pc101 Option XkbLayout no Option XkbCompat EndSection Ideas?

These aren't compiled as dynamic libraries because they have no real API. Not one that anyone is willing to commit to yet, anyway. The glide3 new build system uses autoconf, automake, and libtool, the first two are no problem, the latter is another issue, glide3 links against libXxf86dga and libXxf86vm, both of which are provided only as static librarys. Not a big problem, until you interduce libtool, which absolutely refuses to link a shared library with a non-libtool static library, there is no quick override to say 'I know what I'm doing, now link the damn thing!', in fact, there is no way to do that at all. Well, that's just plain stupid. There are all kinds of valid reasons to link statically to a library. So I have three options. 1: Have libXxf86dga and libXxf86vm as shared libs. 2: Rewrite the entire glide3 build system. 3: Learn and rewrite libtool. Obviously, the latter two are not high on my list of things I'd love to do, the first depends on you. I am highly reluctant to do that unless it really turns out to be the only option. Is there a chance that the libtool maintainer(s) can be taught to see reason? Know anyone who can stalk and beat them in a dark alleyway?

Branden Robinson| Debian GNU/Linux |Exercise your freedom of religion. Set [EMAIL PROTECTED] |fire to a church of your choice. http://deadbeast.net/~branden/ | - End forwarded message - I've been mucking around trying to get glide3 building properly (ie. without the nasty libtool errors) for quite a while now. I think you can totally rule out option 3, as there is a reason why libtool wants shared rather than static libs - when libtool compiles source files for a library, it does 2 compiles - one compiled with -fPIC -DPIC (for the shared library), and the other without. The shared ones have a .lo suffix, the static ones a normal .o. Obviously, the static libs that glide wants aren't compiled with -fPIC -DPIC, so statically linking libXxf86(dga|vm).a to libglide.so would be bad _bad_ BAD, as well as violating policy. This would also be the case with the old glide3 build system, as it is still linking a shared library compiled with -fPIC with the static objects from libXxf86(dga|vm).a. Option 2 is a _real_ pain in the arse (without going back to glide3's old non-autoconfuse build system), so the only solution I can see are to do option 1. Only a tiny change to the debian host.def file (2 added lines): #define SharedLibXxf86dga YES #define SharedLibXxf86vm YES and adding: usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86dga.so.1 usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86dga.so.1.0 usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1.0 to debian/xlibs.files, as well as: usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86dga.so usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so to debian/xlibs-dev.files. IMHO, there isn't much alternative other than to use shared libs ... Comments? I was also wondering about getting DRM modules in a package somewhere ... At the moment the DRM modules are not built - it's a simple matter of cd'ing to xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel and doing a 'make -f Makefile.linux'. I thought that a package could be made out of this for 'make-kpkg modules_image' to build. If I get time on the W/E I'll sit down to look at it and see what I can do.

dialog version dependency for dexter
dexter needs to depend on a recent version of dialog. I was installing on a machine with an old dialog version (sorry, not sure which) that didn't have the --nocancel option and dexter dies on this.

It basically works with kernel 2.2.17, but not with 2.4.0-test[9,10]. With the 2.4 kernel the system locks up, nothing but a reset helps me. This should be a NVidia driver issue, right? It worked back then when I had a Voodoo3 2000. What does not work with the 2.2.17 is OpenGL. Whenever I try to run a OpenGL-application like the Q3A demo or Tuxracer, the X Server crashes. I followed the NVidia installation instructions closely, and since it works for others I thought this might be a XFree-Debian issue. The server reports no further errors, just that it received signal 11. Are there any known problems?

I broke my G400 DRI
Greetings everyone. I broke my G400's DRI. I honestly don't recall changing anything, but once upon a time it worked, and now it does not. The error I keep getting is rather simple: $ glxinfo X Error of failed request: 80 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 49153 Current serial number in output stream: 25 I don't know quite what to check next. So, I am hoping some nice kind soul out there can help me bring my G400's GL back to life. I am currently using Matrox's mga_drv.o (605779 bytes). Using the XFree86 supplied driver didn't change much, I don't recall. (Though those numbers may have been different.) I am running Linux Kernel 2.4.0-test7 (mainly since I have heard problems of DRM v1 / v2 problems with test9). I get this problem with the agpgart and mga modules loaded. Removing those modules before starting X will not give this error, but q3demo runs in software mode, and j3d (the reason why I am working on this now rather than just putting it off :) causes an X crash when I close the j3d window. I am starting up in 16 bit depth. I am starting up with only one monitor running. (Though the error is the same with both monitors. :) If anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them.

Hi Branden,
I'm not sure if you should receive this email, so if this is a NVidia
driver problem please tell me so. :-)
This should have gone to debian-x@lists.debian.org, not to Branden.
As far as NVidia drivers not working, to be perfectly blunt it is their
problem, they insist on closed drivers with horribile licenses, which
means we can't support them at all, send the bug report their way.

IntelliMouse, with X reading from /dev/gpmdata, that works just fine.
