Re: XF86Setup - need help.
hi all! can anybody tell me the correct entries for ADB-mouse in /etc/X11/XF86Config? (quadra 700/68040; debian m68k potato) i don't know the reason why, but it seems impossible for debian to run XF86Setup, ~Config, xf86config or anything like these on my machine. snip Robert, am quoting almost directly from the message Henry Garcia sent replying to my question on the same topic in the linux-mac68k mailing list: Quote: edit your XF86Config file in the /etc/X11/ directory If you're going to use the gpm program, then edit the pointer section as follows: Protocol"Microsoft" Device "/dev/gpmdata" Or else kill the gpm program before starting X and edit as follows Protocol"BusMouse" Device "/dev/mouse" Endquote. If your set-up is like mine, then you will not have gpm (you have to load it in addition to X from tasksel) so the second option above should work. Thank Henry for this. It works for me either way. I have other problems with X, but that's for another time. Regards, pgrb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some of the font directories belong to only one package (such as sharefont). The following directories contain scalable fonts and are shared by more than one package: TrueType: ttf-twmoe-kai, ttf-twmoe-sung, xfonts-arphic-bkai00mp, xfonts-arphic-bsmi00lp, xfonts-arphic-gbsn00lp, xfonts-arphic-gkai00mp xfonts-arphic-* are only provides fonts.dir for X-TT. The fonts.dir uses TTCap extension syntax, so it is not able to use with FreeType backend. X-TT: ttf-xtt-wadalab-gothic, ttf-xtt-watanabe-mincho ttf-xtt-* are provides fonts.dir for FreeType and X-TT. (Can select which one want to use). And ttf-xtt-* uses mkfontdir with -e option. I don't know do the packages in TrueType and X-TT directories need encodings.dir or not. FreeType backend does use fontenc layer. So, It does need encordings.dir. X-TT backend does not use fontenc layer, it uses code conversion dynamic loading modules. So, it does not need encordings.dir The problem with removed encodings.dir file may be is not so urgent with the other font packages, but should be solved---no package is allowed to remove a file belonging to another package. Should I file bug reports against them too (with normal severity)? I think so, this problem should be solved. If xfonts-* packages will use mkfontsdir at install/remove, it is better to add `-e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large' options. -- ISHIKAWA Mutsumi [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
