i845 support

2003-10-09 Thread Will Newton

Is there any plan to include i845 support in the 4.2.x releases? Michael 
Cardenas posted a patch about a year ago and it was maybe scheduled to go in 
to 4.2.1-4, but it isn't in the changelog and I can't find the patch in 
debian/patches, so I'm assuming it isn't in. 

Would it be possible to get this patch in, or is it going to be better to wait 
for 4.3? (And I didn't even ask when 4.3 was going to be uploaded :)

Bug#213339: Upgrading from Woody XF86Config-4 (and Xwrapper.config) are not written

2003-09-29 Thread Will Newton
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-11
Severity: normal


NB: This bug report is for a non-net-connected Sun Ultra 5.

I installed woody from disk 1 only, selected X window system task. Added
an unstable APT line and apt-get upgraded. When I then started X it did
not have a config file. It seemed that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
did not work - it complained about the file not existing. I touched the
config and it complained about no stored checksum. So I added an md5sum
in /var/lib/xfree86 and it wrote the file OK. I also had the same
problem with Xwrapper.config, and I get this message when reconfiguring
xserver-xfree86:

Note: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has been customized.

Unfortunately I didn't try X before the upgrade.

Runs OK on hppa (712/80, hppa1.1, Woody).

Thanks. Are there plans to create a dri group by default on Debian systems in 
the future?



DRI device permissions

2001-08-01 Thread Will Newton

Direct rendering is only working for root on my system (unstable/4.1.0). The 
permissions for the DRI device files are:

/dev/dri:
drwxrwx---2 root root 4096 Aug  1 15:22 dri

/dev/dri/*:
crw-rw1 root root  10,  63 Aug  1 15:22 card0

glxinfo as non-root:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

Are my permissions incorrect?
