Bug#271599: defaults to wrong video card driver
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 Severity: wishlist The "Select the desired X server driver" question defaults to vesa, but when X starts (via gdm), it displays a blank, black screen. When I reconfigure X to use the i810 driver, it displays the gdm login dialog.

Bug#24192: old books
Dear Dr. Boggs, I purchased some early printed books in Florida with a bookplate of Ralph Boggs. I was wondering if they were from your family , and if so, if you have any others. I am a dealer in rare books from Israel. I await your kind reply. Thank you, Adam Weinberger
Bug#11147: Fw: corbel
Do you remember when I was telling you about that link I received? http://www.blueinternetzone.com/ref44.html You can download dvd movies, full cd albums and stuff. Even console video games. So I've downloaded 5 video games & movies so far today :). I can't wait untill you get a load of this selection of games & music & movies - it's nuts. Theres this awsome section of the site that shows you how to burn the games & music and movies to CD. I'm having a quick bite to eat going overthe movie section at the moment, theres downloads in here to burn, movies I mean, that are still in theaters - talk about awsome. I'll talk to you soon.

Your current X session dies, and there's a kernel message from the DRM module about how it tried to allocate 64MB of ram and only got 58, or such.

Christian, thanks for your reply, but I believe that sawfish will still have trouble when capplets is fixed. The attached test-sawfish-mods.c file helped me to understand how sawfish (and emacs) manage modifiers. It is copied from src/keys.c $ setxkbmap -layout us -model pc105 -option "" $ ./test-sawfish-mods Keysym Alt_L column: 0 keycode=0x40 pos: 0 Keysym Meta_L column: 0 keycode=0x40 pos: 1 Keysym Alt_L column: 1 keycode=0x7d pos: 1 Keysym Meta_L column: 2 keycode=0x9c pos: 1 Keysym Num_Lock column: 0 keycode=0x4d pos: 0 Keysym Super_L column: 0 keycode=0x7f pos: 1 Keysym Hyper_L column: 1 keycode=0x80 pos: 1 Up to 4 symbols per modifier alt_mod=8 meta_mod=8 super_mod=64 hyper_mod=64 The 2 last lines are important, they show that the direct_modifiers function (also in src/keys.c) won't catch Super_* modifiers because it contains: if (hyper_mod != 0 && (mods & EV_MOD_HYPER)) mods = (mods & ~EV_MOD_HYPER) | hyper_mod; if (super_mod != 0 && (mods & EV_MOD_SUPER)) mods = (mods & ~EV_MOD_SUPER) | super_mod; As hyper_mod is equal to super_mod, the mods variable is modified after the first test and the second test fails. And this is indeed what I observed: if you set binding modifier to Super, tabbing does not work, but it works when set to Hyper with this X setting and also with altwin:super_win option. Some people claim that Super and Hyper should not be bound to the same modifier to be ICCCM-compliant, but here is the relevant part from this spec: Clients should determine the meaning of a modifier bit from the KeySyms being used to control it. They argue that the current 'us' default breaks this rule, and at the same time add tricks to work around problems in their implementation when Alt and Meta are bound to the same modifier. The other point of view is that this sentence only tells that applications should not hardcode mod1-5 but use KeySyms instead. My previous patch discards keysyms when it is a "fake key" (ie. no symbol is found at position 0). It should work quite well, but a better fix is to let XKB query modifiers when XKB is in use, I will try this path.

Bug#261993: Probably X bug
[The following is a form letter.] Dear bug submitter, Since the XFree86 X server is a large and complex piece of software, some more information is required of you before this bug can be handled. Please run the following commands from a shell prompt to gather and deliver this information to us: $ /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 > /tmp/output 3>&1 $ mailx -s "Re: Bug#261993" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp/output If you do not have a "mailx" command on your system, you can get it by installing the "mailx" Debian package; for example, with the "aptitude install mailx" or "apt-get install mailx" commands as root. Alternatively, you can also use a mail command that is compatible with mailx's command-line syntax, such as "mutt". One very good way to file bugs with the Debian Bug Tracking System is to use the "reportbug" package and command of the same name. The reportbug program does a lot of automatic information-gathering that helps package maintainers to understand your system configuration, and also ensures that your message to the Debian Bug Tracking System is well-formed so that it is processed correctly by the automated tools that manage the reports. (If you've ever gotten a "bounce" message from the Debian Bug Tracking System that tells you your message couldn't be processed, you might appreciate this latter feature.) Therefore, I strongly urge you to give "reportbug" a try as your primary bug reporting tool for the Debian System in the future. If you *did* use reportbug to file your report, then you're receiving this message because the information we expected to see was not present. If you deliberately deleted this information from the report, please don't do that in the future, even if it seems like it makes the mail too large. 50 kB (kilobytes) of configuration and log data is typical. Only if the included information greatly exceeds this amount (more than 100 kB) should you consider omitting it; instead, put it up on the World Wide Web somewhere and provide URLs to it in your report, or in subsequent followup by mailing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Bug#271542: xlibs: Can't get Meta and Alt to work correctly
Package: xlibs Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 Severity: normal In continuation of my message in bug 256706. As it has been declared fixed, but I still suffer keyboard problems, I suppose my problem is _not_ the one of this bug. Behaviour has changed since -6, but is still not correct. I have a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, US qwerty. That's a qwerty 104 keys keyboard. Intended behaviour: Alt keys are Alt, left waving flag key is Meta, right waving flag key is compose (Multi_key), menu key is menu. XKB config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "microsoft" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbOptions""altwin:left_meta_win,compose:rwin" EndSection When starting up X, the following behaviour happens: - Emacs does not recognise Meta as Meta, but recognises Alt as Meta, which it shouldn't. Note that if I remember well, Emacs automatically treats Alt as Meta if it thinks the current keymap does not have a Meta. This might be what is happening. - TeXmacs recognises Alt as Alt, but not Meta. - sawfish does not recognise Alt as Alt, but recognises Meta as Meta. Which makes me very confused as to what could be wrong.

Thanks a lot for your efforts ...

Christian Marillat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Tim could you try to reconfigure your keyboard in the control center ? > Keyborad icon and layouts tab. The layout is set correctly (generic 105-key, UK). There were no layout options selected. Adding "Super is mapped to the Win-keys (default)." didn't seem to do anything. I see the problem with Emacs if I run it in a "bare" second X session. Would it be worth my trying the same with Sawfish? Tim Bagot
Re: Please re-build and upload xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7
Fabio Massimo Di Nitto wrote: Hi guys, thanks for attempting another build of X on s390, but the situation didn't change. I am pretty sure that the buildd is still lacking disk space. The main difference from -6 and -7 is that the fonts are not builded anymore and the process goes much further compared to the previous builds of X. If error reported in the log was the real error, that would have shown on all the others archs as well. Can anybody try to build it manually (like it was done in past iirc) or tell us if that error is real? I am getting the same error when building it manually. The doc directory doesn't exist. Gerhard

Bug#271235: xserver-xfree86: [nv] XVideo fails silently (but visually) in mplayer
I'm experiencing this bug too with the same xserver-xfree86 version (4.3.0.dfsg.1-7) on the same configuration (NVidia GeForce2 MX400, nv driver which comes with XFree86). MPlayer doesn't show the video and tvtime (which also uses the XVideo extension) misbehaves too. The image shows, but it doesn't redraw areas previously covered by other windows and in full screen mode only a part of the image is displayed). There are no error messages in the XFree86 log, nor MPlayer nor tvtime display any. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

No I don't think thi is a bug in sawfish (never seen this problem before, never reported and this work with my keyboard) i think the problem come from GNOME which modify the keyborad layout without asking something to users.
