Re: XFree86 4.0.1 Rage 128 difficulties.
A few suggestions: 1) Please send non-Debian-specific X questions to newbie@xfree86.org until there are official Debian XFree86 4.x packages, at which time you should use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unless you subscribe to those lists, please be sure to request private replies. 2) Please avoid asking sundry unrelated questions in one huge paragraph; it makes it difficult to reply. 3) Make sure you've set up the "Modules" section of your XF86Config to get the proper extensions loaded. It looks like you're only loading a very few. You've got a subsection for "extmod" but you never ask it to be loaded. I think the SHAPE extension is in the extmod module. 4) The libGLU problem is being worked out. At first XFree86 didn't build it in their version of Mesa, now it looks like they might start. Please be patient and keep in mind that these .debs are unstable and unofficial. 5) The tdfx driver problems were fixed in phase2v5; please test the latest versions of these packages BEFORE reporting problems.

Well, the issue for us is that with two upstream sources, the respective Mesa and XFree86 origins need to provide the same things. Is a version of Mesa coming out soon that provides all four of these libraries? (libGL + libGLU + libOSMesa + libGlw) As I understand it, the currently released version of Mesa doesn't provide libOSMesa. Only one Debian package can provide these things at a time. What we do is have a virtual package called "libgl1" which both the mesag3 and xlibgl1 packages (will) provide. If we need make these provisions more specific it would be good to know. :) -- G.

I stumbled over one cause today (it's dependent on the keystrokes, and just
doesn't break on this host ;-). A couple of places in the code I integrated in
#140 aren't checked if the terminal is running in UTF-8 mode before going off
and doing things. Your traceback is one of the two. (I'll put together a
short patch tonight - #146).

Care to guess which one it chooses by default? ;) here's what I've been using in my XF86Config file and everything functions normally (just updated to the 0.9-5 release the other day, no issues for my setup, which is just a TNT2 btw): Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so" Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My plan was to file wishlist bug reports to have most of those packages get
recompiled with the new shlibs, after potato was released (because that
would only be asking that the maintainer has a machine running _stable_ to
recompile the package). By the time woody freezes I expected most of them
would be dealt with, and that I'd have to recompiled others myself in a
couple of NMUs.
The fact X4 has swallowed xpm* doesn't have to change that plan drastically,
actually. We could file those wishlists right now, I guess your feedbts
script could help, even.
