Bug#583501: ITA: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- display driver for VIA Unichrome video chipsets
Excerpts from Julien Viard de Galbert's message of Thu Aug 19 20:30:14 +0200 2010: > I have working hardware and some time to give to debian. Great! What hardware do you have exactly? The XO-1.5 [1] uses the VX855. While I got it up & running with the bare minimums, everything a bit more advanced like RANDR and XV is broken (often hanging the entire machine). It would be awesome to see Debian work better on the XO-1.5 (it ships with a Fedora derivative); see also [2]. If you don't have VX855 based hardware already, you can apply to the OLPC Contributors Program [4] (please drop me a note if you do this so I can join in on the meeting to support your application). > I've setup a git working place including debian's git and upstream svn. > It looks like the experimental branches have not been updated for long. [...] Please update this bug report once you decided where to publish your packages so I can give them a try. > Finally I'm not DD (nor DM) so I will need help, review and sponsoring, > I hope some of you will have time for that. If you don't find a sponsor, you might try asking on the Debian-OLPC list [3].

Bug#519102: RFP: icon-slicer -- utility for generating icon themes and libXcursor cursor themes
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Note that the information included below is mostly copied verbatim from the existing Ubuntu package. Icon-slicer is required for building Sugar [1] 0.84 or later. * Package name: icon-slicer Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Owen Taylor * URL : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/icon-slicer * License : BSD/as-is? Programming Lang: C Description : utility for generating icon themes and libXcursor cursor themes This utility makes it possible to generate icon and cursor themes The inputs to icon-slicer are conceptually: A) A set of multi-layer images, one for each size. B) A XML theme description file Each image contains all the cursors arranged in a grid; For cursors the layers are: - A layer with a dot for the hotspot of each cursor - The main image or first animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors - The second animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors - ... For icons, the layers are: - A layer with the images - An optional layer with attachment points for emblems - An optional layer with boxes for embedding text into icons. In practice, since loading of multilayer images is not supported by standard image libraries, each layer is input as a separate image file. The theme description file contains, among other things, information about the source images to read, the location of each named cursor or icon within the grid, and a set of aliases from names to other names.
