Why change your kernel, when you can just disable DRI in the 
config file?  Or better yet, just leave it alone and let the 
above code fragment do it for you.  ;o)

One point to mention though is that the comment that is displayed 
mentions "XFConfig" file of which their is no such thing.  Typo.

Pax Displayicus Managerius, v2

[Branden Robinson]

Hi folks.

As may be expected, users of the now-cooperating display manager
packages have uncovered a few bugs in the way my proposal works.

See, for instance:

bugs.debian.org/115776

So, attached you will find new versions of the config script, the
templates file, the postinst, and the prerm.  Ryan Murray and I worked
out these fixes on IRC.

In summary:

1) The config script removes the default display manager file if the
user changes his answer to the question (instead of only if the new
choice is the same as the current package).

2) All the packages need to be able to write the full path to the newly
selected display manager, even if it's not the same as the package
currently being configured.  In other words, it needs to be possible for
the user to run, e.g., "dpkg-reconfigure gdm", pick wdm as the new
default, and have this fact written to the default display manager file
instead of having to run "dpkg --configure wdm" subsequently.  It will
still be necessary in some cases (depending on how the package works) to
run the postinst script of the new default display manager package, but
at least this way the default display manager *file* will be correct no
matter which package's config script is run to change the default.

To enable this, each display manager package needs to provide a new,
read-only template (i.e., you never use a db_input on it in your config
script) that contains the full path to the display manager executable.

3) The prerm script has also been made more robust, removing the default
display manager file if it currently references the display manager that
is being removed, then writing it if it does not exist after the user
has answered the question.

Needless to say, there is a lot of stuff in the attached prerm and
postinst scripts that maintainers of other display managers don't need
to worry about.  I'll be rolling this stuff out for testing in
4.1.0-8pre9v2.

Finally, please be sure and incorporate debconf translation patches, so
that everyone can understand and marvel at the coolness of being able to
have 4 display managers installed simultaneously.

Description: Select the desired default display manager.
 A display manager is a program that provides graphical login capabilities
 for the X Window System.
 .
 Only one display manager can manage a given X server, but multiple display
 manager packages are installed.  Please select which display manager
 should run by default.
 .
 (Multiple display managers can run simultaneously if they are configured
 to manage different servers; to achieve this, configure the display
 managers accordingly, edit each of their init scripts in /etc/init.d, and
 disable the check for a default display manager.)

Template: xdm/default_nolisten_udp
Type: note
Description: xdm does not listen on a UDP port by default.
 Because xdm (the X Display Manager) is a daemon that runs with superuser
 privileges, by default it runs with UDP port listening disabled as a security
 measure.  This means that, as shipped, xdm is not reachable via the network
 and is unable to manage X servers running on remote hosts.  Most people do
 not need to enable UDP port listening in xdm; it can manage local X servers
 without this functionality enabled.

Well... looking at the driver source[0], I see the following comment:

 /* Xinerama has sync problem with DRI, disable it for now */
if(xf86IsEntityShared(pScrn->entityList[0]))
{
info->directRenderingEnabled = FALSE;
xf86DrvMsg(scrnIndex, X_WARNING,

Well... looking at the driver source[0], I see the following comment:

 /* Xinerama has sync problem with DRI, disable it for now */
if(xf86IsEntityShared(pScrn->entityList[0]))
{
info->directRenderingEnabled = FALSE;
xf86DrvMsg(scrnIndex, X_WARNING,
"Direct Rendering Disabled -- "
"Dual-head configuration is not working with DRI "
"at present.\nPlease use only one Device/Screen "
"section in your XFConfig file.\n");
}

So maybe I'll try a kernel with no DRI support. But that's going to suck in
different ways.

Thanks.  The gdb output isn't all that enlightening, though -- it's crashing

Certainly looks that way. The only thing I can think of for you to try
is to play with leaving out the bus ID from either or both device
sections. But I very much doubt it will work.

Is the 4.1.0 driver even supposed to support dualhead on these chips?
Maybe the current CVS driver does, you may want to ask on the
Xpert@XFree86.Org list.

Thanks.  The gdb output isn't all that enlightening, though -- it's crashing 
inside the C library.  Could you do it again, and this time use "bt" to find 
out what the call trace was?

p.

Certainly looks that way. The only thing I can think of for you to try
is to play with leaving out the bus ID from either or both device
sections. But I very much doubt it will work.

Is the 4.1.0 driver even supposed to support dualhead on these chips?
Maybe the current CVS driver does, you may want to ask on the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list.

where are the lucida fonts?

[Eduard Bloch]

Hello,

after upgrading to the latest -8 XFree packages in Unstable, all lucida
and lucida-typewriter fonts are no longer available. What happened?
I downgraded fonts packages and xfs to testing, does not help.

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.

xdmcp and "X terminals"

[Hugo van der Merwe]

I want to set up an old Pentium 120 as an X terminal, to log in remotely
on my desktop. I have read some documentation, and figured out that one
of the ?dm packages does the serving, but I cannot figure out what to do
on the client to make it ask for a login with XDMCP. Can anyone point me
in the direction of a package or some docs?

Thanks,
Hugo van der Merwe
