CapsLock stops working after suspend/resume

[Jonas Borgström]

Hi all,

After installing the latest debian packages I noticed that
the capslock, alt, F1-F12 and perhaps more buttons stops from working after a 
suspend and resume on my laptop. only a restart of the xserver restores the 
functionality

It starts working again after downgrading from 4.0.1-9 to 4.0.1-8.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

I'm running the kernel version 2.4.0-test11

my hardware:
IBM Thinkpad T21
S3 Savage IX/MX   (using post-beta 3 driver from 
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html)

PS.
Branden, thanks for your great work with the .deb packages.

I always knew in my heart of hearts that the asymmetric nature of depth
16 was bad news; now I know why. Thanks everyone. :)

As a matter of fact, yes it's only the gray collors that are pink, but a lot
more than just slightly

Do you mean it is actually pink, or are you simply saying that some
gray colours have a slightly pinkish shade?

Depth 16 (not 16 bpp!) is a weird mode indeed.  In depth 16, the
colour cube is not cubic (64x32x32), and colours on the diagonal
(i.e. shades of gray) need to be approximated with nearby colours, so
all (non-dithered) grays are either slightly pink or slightly cyan.

Personally, I prefer using depth 15 (which is still 16bpp).  As Keith
Packard once mentioned, ``pink is not my favourite shade of gray.''

The fbdev driver doesn't support gamma correction.

Frederic, I would guess your gamma control is off. My i386 X 4.0.1 comes
with an xgamma(1) command in package xbase-clients. Does yours have
this? What happens when you poke things into it?

Or, perhaps your monitor has temperature control, and it got reset at
some point. See if you can change your temperature from around 5500K to
9500K or so. (That should be slightly blue-tinted, though if it works,
it will look *VERY* blue. :)

I don't remember for sure under which depth I tested it when the screen was 
wrapped, but I'll say yes, it was. However, for now, it does this in 16 bpp 
mode (is this such a weird mode ?), and not in 8 bpp. Unfortunatly I can't

Do you mean in the kernel code ? I'll try a newer version (2.2.18-preX if 
it compiles). By the way, I was wrong in my first mail, I'm still running 
2.2.14.

Was it already there when the screen was wrapped around? What about other
depths?

The fbdev driver relies 100% on the framebuffer device so this is more likely
to be a bug there.

xserver-xfree8 4.0.1-8 on powerpc

[Frederic Seraphine]

Hi,

it's me again with my too old powermac 7600/132 running under the
chaos control framebuffer device.
The new version of the XFree86 server using the fb driver work better
than one month ago, the screen is no more wrapped around but it still
present some annoying glitch: the color of the whole display is wrong,
it has a general pink hue.

Is this a known bug ?

from dmesg:
MacOS display is /chaos/control
Monitor sense value = 0x623, using video mode 18 and color mode 1.

XFree 4.0.1 debs

[Bradley M Alexander]

Hey all,

First of all, excellent job on the XFree 4.x debs. 

I am, however, running into a strange problem with XFree, Matrox and
dual-head. I have tried the XFree 4.0.1-1 -4 and -9 debs and have not found
the cause. 

I'm running woody on a machine with the following config:

Dual PIII/500
256MB RAM
Matrox G200/8MB at 1:0:0
Matrox Millenium II/4MB at 0:18:0
Dual Sony Trinitron G500 21" monitors
XFree86 4.0.1-0phase2v30 debs
Enlightenent-0.16.5-1

Before the debs were released, I ended up getting XFree86 4.0.0 and
compiling from source. I did not notice the problems I am encountering now
with the source install.

When I rebuilt the box and installed the .debs of 4.0.1, I started having a
problem with the dual heads. I created a bunch of double-sized backgrounds
for X by pasting two regular images together. I noticed after I got back up
and running that the root window, desktop 0 in enlightenment wasn't
behaving right. Instead of having different pictures on each monitor, I had
the same one on both. Other desktops were behaving normally. On desktop 0,
if I open an Eterm with a transparent background, it displays the correct
image beneath it.

I thought this might be a problem with Enlightenment, but then, as I got the 
machine configured to my liking, I noticed that the image I was using for my
xdm login (which was a normal-sized image that xinerama was stretching to fit
the two desktops) was doing the same thing. The left half of the stretched
image was displayed on the right screen in the xdm login.

I tried going in to the Enlightenment config and chose a background image
that I could tile. The image fit on each screen exactly 2 1/2 times. In
theory, this image would be displayed twice on the left screen, then one
column would span the monitors. In reality, what was happening was instead
of displaying the second half of the spanned portion of the image, the
right monitor was displaying a mirror of the left image. Again, an Eterm
would display the correct image. I have a screencap of this desktop I can
post if it helps visualization.

Sorry about the verbose delivery, but I'm trying to give a good mental
picture of the problem...

Anything you can suggest?

Thanks,

No, but they're being squashed upstream.

There were some neomagic fixes in 4.0.1g, which is used in Debian's
4.0.1-{9,10} packages.  (-10 will be uploaded today.)

There is another fix in 4.0.1h, which will first appear in a -11 prerelease
uploaded to the X Strike Force repository.

Frederic, I would guess your gamma control is off. My i386 X 4.0.1 comes
with an xgamma(1) command in package xbase-clients. Does yours have
this? What happens when you poke things into it?

Or, perhaps your monitor has temperature control, and it got reset at
some point. See if you can change your temperature from around 5500K to

Do you mean it is actually pink, or are you simply saying that some
gray colours have a slightly pinkish shade?

Depth 16 (not 16 bpp!) is a weird mode indeed.  In depth 16, the
colour cube is not cubic (64x32x32), and colours on the diagonal
(i.e. shades of gray) need to be approximated with nearby colours, so
all (non-dithered) grays are either slightly pink or slightly cyan.

Personally, I prefer using depth 15 (which is still 16bpp).  As Keith
Packard once mentioned, ``pink is not my favourite shade of gray.''

I don't remember for sure under which depth I tested it when the screen was 
wrapped, but I'll say yes, it was. However, for now, it does this in 16 bpp 
mode (is this such a weird mode ?), and not in 8 bpp. Unfortunatly I can't

Was it already there when the screen was wrapped around? What about other
depths?

The fbdev driver relies 100% on the framebuffer device so this is more likely
to be a bug there.

X 4.0.1 and NeoMagic server

I was wondering if anyone on this list was squashing bugs in the
NeoMagic server.

I last tried 4.0.1-8.  My computer is a Dell Latitude CS; the video
chipset is the NeoMagic 2360.  Everything looks perfect, but when you
type text into an xterm, the characters are all overlapping and
noisy.  This happens in a variety of clients, font configs, and window
managers.  If you iconify the window, or switch desktops, or anything
like that which redraws the window without further keyboard input, the
text looks fine.  The problem is solved with Option "noaccel" "true".
My XF86Config-4 is below.

Everything works perfectly under 3.3.6, except that the neomagic
server doesn't know about my chipset, so I tell it that it's a 2200.

Hi,

it's me again with my too old powermac 7600/132 running under the
chaos control framebuffer device.
The new version of the XFree86 server using the fb driver work better
than one month ago, the screen is no more wrapped around but it still
present some annoying glitch: the color of the whole display is wrong,
it has a general pink hue.

Is this a known bug ?

from dmesg:

/etc/locales.gen, modify it by uncommenting the ones you need and then run
locale-gen...

But.. it doesn't help if your programs used to segfault (in my case rxvt
and licq with qt-plugin, works with gnome_gui though). I filed a bug
report against rxvt, but it got reassigned to libc6. Rxvt and its variants
use "setlocale"-function, which apparently is broken in libc6 v2.2.

On the other hand, every time you start a program (any program), you get a
warning (yep, I'm using Gnome too):

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C

although the characters are printed correctly despite the warning. I'm
using [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 as the locale..

Rxvt used to work before 4.0.1-9 (segfaults after pasting text from
it etc), but won't even start anymore. Go figure.. ;-)

this week's release plans

[Branden Robinson]

4.0.1-9pre10v1 is now available at the X Strike Force repository for i386,
alpha, sparc, and powerpc.

I have gotten no feedback from Rage 128 on i386 users about this release,
so either no one tested it, or Dan Jacobowitz did not break this driver
with this PowerPC patches as he feared.

I will build and release 4.0.1-10 today, with very few changes from the
prerelease.  This should build on the above-mentioned four architectures
with no incident.

In the meantime, upstream has tagged 4.0.1h.  Therefore, after I have
released -10, I will produce a pre11 release based on 4.0.1h.  This release
will go up on the X Strike Force and versions for each architecture will be
added as they become available.

Also, a 3.3.6-17 featuring debconfization of the 3.x server configuration
is in the works.

Hi Branden,

First of all: thanks for the great job you do for Debian + XFree86.

I have two problems with 4.0.1 and I feel lost :-) I don't even know if:
- this is a bug for Debian
- this is a bug for XFree86
- this is a bug for me (i.e. I shouldn't use 4.0.1 if I'm so
unexperienced...)

I also don't know where to post my problem.

I tried several search engines to find a solution: no success.

The problem is:

1. Some pixmaps are _very_ dark, their content can be hardly recognised. But
sometimes they are ok (e.g. in netscape, when I scroll the page with the
scrollbar, they are ok, when I finish scrolling, they turn to dark).

2. When moving a window, the "frame" of the window leaves trashes behind on
the screen.



With 3.3.6 everything is working fine.

Can you at least suggest me something where to ask for help?

Thanks,

Istvan

XFree 4.0.1 debs

[Bradley M Alexander]

Hey all,

First of all, excellent job on the XFree 4.x debs. 

I am, however, running into a strange problem with XFree, Matrox and
dual-head. I have tried the XFree 4.0.1-1 -4 and -9 debs and have not found
the cause. 

I'm running woody on a machine with the following config:

Dual PIII/500
256MB RAM
Matrox G200/8MB at 1:0:0
Matrox Millenium II/4MB at 0:18:0
Dual Sony Trinitron G500 21" monitors
XFree86 4.0.1-0phase2v30 debs
Enlightenent-0.16.5-1

Before the debs were released, I ended up getting XFree86 4.0.0 and
compiling from source. I did not notice the problems I am encountering now
with the source install.

When I rebuilt the box and installed the .debs of 4.0.1, I started having a
problem with the dual heads. I created a bunch of double-sized backgrounds
for X by pasting two regular images together. I noticed after I got back up
and running that the root window, desktop 0 in enlightenment wasn't
behaving right. Instead of having different pictures on each monitor, I had
the same one on both. Other desktops were behaving normally. On desktop 0,
if I open an Eterm with a transparent background, it displays the correct
image beneath it.

I thought this might be a problem with Enlightenment, but then, as I got the 
machine configured to my liking, I noticed that the image I was using for my
xdm login (which was a normal-sized image that xinerama was stretching to fit
the two desktops) was doing the same thing. The left half of the stretched
image was displayed on the right screen in the xdm login.

I tried going in to the Enlightenment config and chose a background image
that I could tile. The image fit on each screen exactly 2 1/2 times. In
theory, this image would be displayed twice on the left screen, then one
column would span the monitors. In reality, what was happening was instead
of displaying the second half of the spanned portion of the image, the
right monitor was displaying a mirror of the left image. Again, an Eterm
would display the correct image. I have a screencap of this desktop I can
post if it helps visualization.

Sorry about the verbose delivery, but I'm trying to give a good mental
picture of the problem...

Anything you can suggest?

Thanks,
--

No, but they're being squashed upstream.

There were some neomagic fixes in 4.0.1g, which is used in Debian's
4.0.1-{9,10} packages.  (-10 will be uploaded today.)

There is another fix in 4.0.1h, which will first appear in a -11 prerelease
uploaded to the X Strike Force repository.

Hi!
I'm here again because I still have problems with my italian keyboard.
When I use X, I get this error message:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

The problem is this: I can't use any key toghether with the  key
to obtain sertain characters as the "@" or  "#" (only with cut &
paste!!) and so on. What can I do to resolve this? In
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I have:

Option  "XkbRules"  "xfree86"

The keyboard is an italian "Logitech Deluxe".

X 4.0.1 and NeoMagic server

[Ian Soboroff]

I was wondering if anyone on this list was squashing bugs in the
NeoMagic server.

I last tried 4.0.1-8.  My computer is a Dell Latitude CS; the video
chipset is the NeoMagic 2360.  Everything looks perfect, but when you
type text into an xterm, the characters are all overlapping and
noisy.  This happens in a variety of clients, font configs, and window
managers.  If you iconify the window, or switch desktops, or anything
like that which redraws the window without further keyboard input, the
text looks fine.  The problem is solved with Option "noaccel" "true".
My XF86Config-4 is below.

Everything works perfectly under 3.3.6, except that the neomagic
server doesn't know about my chipset, so I tell it that it's a 2200.

I don't have any locale-gen file, config or executable.  Where does it come
from?  I've got both libc6 (2.2) and i18ndata installed, and ran localedef
as mentioned in the libc6 docs to compile my locale, but it's still not
recognised, and 8bit characters are not being displayed properly.

I don't have any locale-gen file, config or executable.  Where does it come
from?  I've got both libc6 (2.2) and i18ndata installed, and ran localedef
as mentioned in the libc6 docs to compile my locale, but it's still not
recognised, and 8bit characters are not being displayed properly.

debconf and 4.0.1-9 ...

[Sven LUTHER]

Hello all, ...

I just upgraded to 4.0.1-9 through apt, and got asked a lot of questions
pertaining to my XF86Config file.

I have a XF86Config-4 file installed.

Well what i would say are two things : 

  1) well something seems to be wrong with this stuff, it broke with :

Preconfiguring packages ..
/var/lib/debconf/config.390713: [: -eq: unary operator expected


  2) I already have a XF86Config file, (named XF86Config-4 though), which i
  generated by hand and have all the options i like. Should the install script
  not ask us if we want to generate a new XF86Config file, like the 3.3.x
  packages used to do (if i remember well).

Friendly,

Sven Luther

RE: Running multiple X servers

Title: RE: Running multiple X servers





Try to edit xdm.conf or gdm.conf (if using gnome) to add a second display.

Objet:  Running multiple X servers


Hello,


could somebody tell me what the best way is to start a second X server upon
startup. I would like this second X server to run on vt8 and send an
XDMCP-query to a different server. I know how to do this manually, but i
would like to know in what configuration file i should add this so that this
second X server is started on every reboot, or if i have to write a new
start-stop script in /etc/init.d.


Best regards,


Stefan
