The FSSTD says that /var/preserve is the default location for it. I've already filed bugs against vim, elvis, et. al.

I just had to deal with the same problem. One reason mutt is in unstable is
that the config syntax alway changes. There is a completely new approach in
mutt 0.79 to date and time format: for example, my config looks like this:
set attribution="On %{!%x}, %n wrote:"
Check out manual.txt in /usr/doc/mutt, it is explained there.

It's clear that this is impossible. But if this acceleration code is really
beta, there should be at least a warning, as You stated.

I've experienced the same effects as well with a 5426 card. Maybe turning
acceleration off will solve the problem, I'll try it out. But in my opinion
the package's stadard configuration should provide a *stable* setup that
works in most cases. The rest can go into debian/unstable. So there is a
need to fix the package. (Has someone already filled out a bug report?)

xdm has no "@" sign
Hi all,
I've got some Linux boxes around here at university and a few days ago one
user came complaining to me that he was unable to produce an "@"-sign in the
xlogin widget on xdm that he uses in his password.
I tried to check out all the configs, specially the xmodmap and the xkb
section in XF86Config. The machine has an german 102 keyboard and is
configured correctly. After login, everything is well, too.
I also asked Mark Eichin, the package maintainer for xbase. He hadn't any
idea too, because the "@"-sign worked on his (US-) keyboard properly.
So maybe someone here on debian-user has a german keyboard with a working
"@"-sign on xdm login and can tell me how to configure this?!?
Thanks
Christian
