 Now, meybe we need some pdf-forms writers.

IIRC you can create pdf-forms with scribus.  I used that feature a
couple of years ago; don't know, if everything is supported.

 This is no longer true for soe time now. Testing now _has_ security
 updates. The testing security team is lead by Joey Hess.

Wasn't their policy to only issue their own security advisories, if the
package fixing the problem in unstable would take far to long to reach
testing?

external VGA on iBook G4 with etch

2006-06-18 Thread Alexander Schmehl
Hi!

I'm running Debian etch on my iBook G4 1.2GHz.  with Xorg 6.9 I had my external
VGA port working very well (the external monitor only needed to be
connected when X started).  I didn't even need to do anything special
but to use the xorg.conf dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg created
without anything special.

A couple of days ago I upgrade my etch system and Xorg 7.0 got
installed, and my external VGA port doesn't work any more.

As far as I know, the only change between xorg 6.9 and 7.0 where in the
build system and in the package splitt?  So I assume I just need to
install a package or something similar easy, to get my external VGA port
working again?  Any hints?  Anyone has his external VAG port working
on an iBook G4 with xorg 7.0?


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander

 Have you installed xserver-xorg-video-ati ?
 (for using the driver radeon)

Yes, I have.

 Yes. It works for me. (ibook g4 1.2ghz 12 and debian unstable).

Did you need to do anything special, or did it just work?

Interesting part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be:

 I am having the same problem. Did you ever resolve your issue? I know it
 was 3 years ago, but it is worth a try.

When answering to that old mails without setting proper reference or
In-Reply-To-Header to the mail, it might be a good idea to state the
nature of the problem more detailed...
