exact integral types

2002-10-15 Thread Warren Turkal
Why does X not use the exact integral types in its typedefs?

For instance,
typedef uint32_t CARD32;
instead of all the magic in Xmd.h?

Thanks, Warren

Bug#164799: Small typo in generated XF86Config-4

2002-10-15 Thread Svante Signell
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.0-x, 4.2.1-x

Option XkbLayout se is the correct setting for Sweden,
not Option XkbLayout sv!

This generates problems with some characters, such as |{}[] etc.
Maybe this bug report should be attributed to debconf since debconf is the
program rewriting the XF86Config-4 file.

Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on:

Non importa, perche` questa e` la famosa e-mail dei quali tutti parlano

ormai crescente popolarita` di questa e-mail su Internet, alcune 
emittenti televisive italiane hanno dedicato ultimamente degli speciali sul 
come e` possibile guadagnare 1.5 - 2 miliardi di lire in 6 settimane, e 
per di piu` garantito.  Come e` possibile garantire una vincita del 
genere, insomma, qui si parla di un sacco di quattrini !!!, e` stato il 
commento di quasi tutti i conduttori dei vari programmi TV e articoli 
pubblicati. Gia`, come e` possibile ASSICURARE che qualcuno vinca 
davvero ??? Il risultato e` stato piu` che sorprendente, perfino per I 
conduttori, che hanno espresso il loro desiderio di partecipare subito !!! In 
tutti gli speciali, non solo si e` evidenziato e provato che il sistema 
funziona davvero e assicura la vincita a CHIUNQUE PARTECIPA, ma e` 
stato anche provato che non ci sono leggi in vigore (in Italia) che 
impediscono la partecipazione al programma. Creato negli USA qualche anno fa, 
e dopo aver generato non si sa quanti nuovi miliardari in tutto il 
mondo, e ricevuto l'attenzione di emittenti televisive e telegiornali in 
numerosi paesi del mondo, e` finalmente approdato anche in Italia, grazie 
alla cortese collaborazione di un italiano residente negli USA, che ha 
finalmente deciso di tradurre questa e- mail in italiano, ed estendere 
l'opportunita` di diventare miliardari anche a tutti gli italiani che 
desiderano partecipare !!!
Quante volte hai tentato la fortuna al Totocalcio ??? Totogol ???

arrivato il tuo momento, si, quello di vincere sul serio, garantito 
oltre il 200%, perche` e` stato provato che nessuno puo` perdere, nessuno

 Configuring the old meta-win behavour confuses the german keyboard layout

 The following patch adds a partial modifier_keys block to

 with the old meta_win behavour. I don't know if this is the best
 way to solve the problem but it works for me.

I don't think this is exactly the right solution, but one of the reasons
I moved the XKB files into /etc is so that people could resolve these
issue for themselves, as you have.

Any thoughts from Germans or other users of mode-switching keyboards?

 Maybe this bug report should be attributed to debconf since debconf is the

Except:

1) xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout is a string type,

2) this template defaults to us, not sv
3) So if it says sv, that's because you put it there.
4) The English template description explicitly calls for an ISO 3166

5) There is no Swedish translation for this template.  Perhaps someone
   would be so kind as to update the Swedish template translations?

So, I don't see how this problem is anything but a configuration error
on your part.  Debconf is not doing anything wrong, and the dexconf
program is doing what it's told.

Bug#164895: xlibs: Non-AA Xft renders fonts poorly

2002-10-15 Thread Jonathan
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Recently, programs using Xft to render their fonts (gtk2 and qt) have started
having really bad looking fonts.  I am not sure when precisely this started, 
although I would guess that it was within the past week or two, perhaps when
xfree 4.2.1-1 or -2 was installed.

Both Xft and my X core fonts get Arial.ttf from
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType.  However, when Xft renders
it, the fonts just look plain bad.  Example screenshots (both gtk2 and qt)
can be found at http://www.wam.umd.edu/~jpolley/xft/ .

Note that I have antialiasing turned off for small-sized non-italic non-bold
fonts.  When I turn it on, the errors are less visible, however, I feel they
are still present.

Bug#164799: Small typo in generated XF86Config-4

2002-10-15 Thread Svante Signell
Branden,

Can you please give some more information (or a pointer to) how
xserver-xfree86, debconf and dexconf are working together to create
the XFree86-4 file. Every time I install a new version of the xserver,
a new XF86Config-4 is created, this error occurs (on more than one
computer). Is the old XF86Config-4 taken into account at all when
creating a new one?

The new file also introduces other differences compared to the
one (fully functional) already there before. The new file has to be
corrected manually after installation.

Examples of things added to the new version (a Dell Inspiron 4100):
#   Loadxtt
#   Option  UseFBDev  true
#   Option  DPMS
#   Option  Protocol  ImPS/2
#   Option  Device/dev/psaux
#   Driver  ati
#   Modes   1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 640x480

Added:
   Driver  radeon
   Modes   1400x1050 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 640x480
   Option  Device/dev/mouse

Bug#164799: Small typo in generated XF86Config-4

2002-10-15 Thread Svante Signell

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.0-x, 4.2.1-x

Option XkbLayout se is the correct setting for Sweden,
not Option XkbLayout sv!

This generates problems with some characters, such as |{}[] etc.
Maybe this bug report should be attributed to debconf since debconf is the
program rewriting the XF86Config-4 file.

Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on:
ii  debconf   1.0.32 Debian configuration management sy
ii  libc6 2.2.5-14.3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
ii  xserver-common4.2.1-2files and utilities common to all

Vorresti Davvero Guadagnare con Internet?
Bene, la prima cosa da fare è salvare su disco questa pagina per averla 
a portata di mano anche se il tuo PC non è connesso a Internet, poi 
copia tutto in Word o in Blocco Note e stampalo,
così lo potrai leggere con più attenzione. 
Questo Sistema è diverso da tutti gli altri,
quindi se non ti fidi leggi con attenzione le istruzioni per valutarlo, 
e quando le avrai comprese ti assicuro che sarà per te IRRESISTIBILE la 
voglia di partecipare.
QUESTO E`SENZA DUBBIO IL GIORNO PIU' FORTUNATO DELLA TUA VITA !! 
IMMAGINA A COSA POTRESTI FARE CON 1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE... SEI UNO DEI 
PRIMI FORTUNATI ITALIANI A RICEVERE QUESTA FAMOSA MLM E- MAIL, DELLA QUALE 
TUTTI STANNO PARLANDO, E DELLA QUALE LA TELEVISIONE E TUTTI I GIORNALI 
ITALIANI HANNO DEDICATO AMPIO SPAZIO NELLE SCORSE SETTIMANE !!! 1.5 - 2 
MILIARDI DI LIRE IN SOLE 6 SETTIMANE !!! GARANTITO !!! FINALMENTE 
TRADOTTA ANCHE IN ITALIANO, PER IL TUO SUCCESSO !!! UN SISTEMA CHE ANNULLA 
COMPLETAMENTE TOTOCALCIO, TOTOGOL, LOTTO, ENALOTTO E LOTTERIE VARIE !!! 
BASTA GIOCARE E SPRECARE SOLDI INUTILMENTE !!! COMINCIA A VINCERE UNA 
VOLTA PER TUTTE 1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE OGNI 6 SETTIMANE FINO A QUANDO 
SARAI STUFO DI TUTTI QUEI SOLDI 
Proprio cosi` !!! Si, basta preoccuparsi del lavoro, del quale non se 
ne puo` piu`, dei soldi, che non sono mai abbastanza, di quella vacanza 
che VORRESTI ma e sempre più lontana!!! GRAZIE A QUESTA E-MAIL 
RICEVERAI 
1.5 - 2 MILIARDI DI LIRE OGNI 6 SETTIMANE !!! ASSICURATO 
!!! Quindi
il mio consiglio e` quello di cominciare A TIRARE FUORI I SOGNI DAL 
CASSETTO !!! Immagina per un attimo cosa potresti fare, ad esempio 
potresti ordinare la nuova, fiammante, Lamborghini Murcielago che ti meriti, 
oppure recati alla banca e pagare una volta per tutte quel mutuo sulla 
casa o appartamento !!! Oppure potresti prenderti un paio di mesi di 
vacanza o crociera in uno di quei posti esotici dei quali hai sempre 
sognato, poi ritornato a casa decidere cosa fare con piu` di un miliardo 
ancora a disposizione !!! Alle volte la realtà può sembrare un sogno ma 
come sai CON I SOGNI NON SI RISOLVE NULLA !!! Questa e` PURA REALTA` e 
succedera` anche a te nelle prossime 6 settimane, grazie all'incredibile 
sistema MLM americano !!! 6 SOLE SETTIMANE: questo e` quanto ci vuole 
per accumulare un minimo di $750.000 DOLLARI AMERICANI, PARI A UN 
MILIARDO E MEZZO DI LIRE ITALIANE, ED ENTRARE NEL CLUB DEI NUOVI MILIARDARI 
DEL QUALE HAI SENTITO PARLARE ULTIMAMENTE ALLA TV !!!
Hai perso I servizi speciali in onda su Raitre, Canale5 e altre 
emittenti televisive locali riguardo questo incredibile sistema americano ??? 
Non importa, perche` questa e` la famosa e-mail dei quali tutti parlano 
sulle reti televisive di tutto il mondo, non solo italiane. Dovuto alla 
ormai crescente popolarita` di questa e-mail su Internet, alcune 
emittenti televisive italiane hanno dedicato ultimamente degli speciali sul 
come e` possibile guadagnare 1.5 - 2 miliardi di lire in 6 settimane, e 
per di piu` garantito.  Come e` possibile garantire una vincita del 
genere, insomma, qui si parla di un sacco di quattrini !!!, e` stato il 
commento di quasi tutti i conduttori dei vari programmi TV e articoli 
pubblicati. Gia`, come e` possibile ASSICURARE che qualcuno vinca 
davvero ??? Il risultato e` stato piu` che sorprendente, perfino per I 
conduttori, che hanno espresso il loro desiderio di partecipare subito !!! In 
tutti gli speciali, non solo si e` evidenziato e provato che il sistema 
funziona davvero e assicura la vincita a CHIUNQUE PARTECIPA, ma e` 
stato anche provato che non ci sono leggi in vigore (in Italia) che 
impediscono la partecipazione al programma. Creato negli USA qualche anno fa, 
e dopo aver generato non si sa quanti nuovi miliardari in tutto il 
mondo, e ricevuto l'attenzione di emittenti televisive e telegiornali in 
numerosi paesi del mondo, e` finalmente approdato anche in Italia, grazie 
alla cortese collaborazione di un italiano residente negli USA, che ha 
finalmente deciso di tradurre questa e- mail in italiano, ed estendere 
l'opportunita` di diventare miliardari anche a tutti gli italiani che 
desiderano partecipare !!!
Quante volte hai tentato la fortuna al Totocalcio ??? Totogol ??? 
Enalotto, lotterie Hai fatto fortuna ??? NO ??? E probabilmente il tutto 
ti e` costato una gran bella cifra !!! Non preoccuparti: finalmente e` 
arrivato il tuo momento, si, quello di vincere sul serio, garantito 
oltre il 200%, perche` e` stato provato che nessuno puo` perdere, nessuno 
!!! Non si puo` perdere per il semplice motivo che ci sono migliaia di 
nuovi giocatori ogni giorno che vogliono partecipare, e aspettano che i 
fortunati che sono in possesso di questa e-mail (quale sei tu ad 
esempio), la spediscano anche a loro. Hai seguito

Bug#164767: xlibs: altgr doesn't work on german keyboards with altwin:meta_win

 Configuring the old meta-win behavour confuses the german keyboard layout

 The following patch adds a partial modifier_keys block to 
 /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin which provides a german keyboard-layout
 with the old meta_win behavour. I don't know if this is the best
 way to solve the problem but it works for me.

I don't think this is exactly the right solution, but one of the reasons
I moved the XKB files into /etc is so that people could resolve these
issue for themselves, as you have.

Any thoughts from Germans or other users of mode-switching keyboards?

Yes, that's correct.  se instead of sv.

 Maybe this bug report should be attributed to debconf since debconf is the

Except:

1) xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout is a string type,

2) this template defaults to us, not sv

4) The English template description explicitly calls for an ISO 3166

5) There is no Swedish translation for this template.  Perhaps someone
   would be so kind as to update the Swedish template translations?

So, I don't see how this problem is anything but a configuration error
on your part.  Debconf is not doing anything wrong, and the dexconf
program is doing what it's told.

Bug#164895: xlibs: Non-AA Xft renders fonts poorly

2002-10-15 Thread Jonathan

Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Recently, programs using Xft to render their fonts (gtk2 and qt) have started
having really bad looking fonts.  I am not sure when precisely this started, 
although I would guess that it was within the past week or two, perhaps when
xfree 4.2.1-1 or -2 was installed.

Both Xft and my X core fonts get Arial.ttf from
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType.  However, when Xft renders
it, the fonts just look plain bad.  Example screenshots (both gtk2 and qt)
can be found at http://www.wam.umd.edu/~jpolley/xft/ .

Note that I have antialiasing turned off for small-sized non-italic non-bold
fonts.  When I turn it on, the errors are less visible, however, I feel they
are still present.

Bug#164799: Small typo in generated XF86Config-4

2002-10-15 Thread Svante Signell

Branden,

Can you please give some more information (or a pointer to) how
xserver-xfree86, debconf and dexconf are working together to create
the XFree86-4 file. Every time I install a new version of the xserver,
a new XF86Config-4 is created, this error occurs (on more than one
computer). Is the old XF86Config-4 taken into account at all when
creating a new one?

The new file also introduces other differences compared to the
one (fully functional) already there before. The new file has to be
corrected manually after installation.

Examples of things added to the new version (a Dell Inspiron 4100):
#   Loadxtt
#   Option  UseFBDev  true
#   Option  DPMS
#   Option  Protocol  ImPS/2
#   Option  Device/dev/psaux
#   Driver  ati
#   Modes   1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 640x480

Added:
   Driver  radeon
   Modes   1400x1050 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 640x480
   Option  Device/dev/mouse
   Option  Protocol  Microsoft

Bug#164799: Small typo in generated XF86Config-4

2002-10-15 Thread 164799

On Wed, Oct 16, 2002 at 12:42:38AM +0200, Svante Signell wrote:
 Can you please give some more information (or a pointer to) how
 xserver-xfree86, debconf and dexconf are working together to create
 the XFree86-4 file.

Sure:

$ man 7 debconf
$ man dexconf
$ sensible-pager /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.config
$ sensible-pager /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

 Every time I install a new version of the xserver, a new XF86Config-4
 is created, this error occurs (on more than one computer).

It's not an error.  You can tell the xserver-xfree86 package not to do
that.

 Is the old XF86Config-4 taken into account at all when creating a new
 one?

No.  It's too hard to parse the file reliably.  I've asked for code to
do it; no one has the time and/or courage.

 The new file also introduces other differences compared to the
 one (fully functional) already there before. The new file has to be
 corrected manually after installation.

See above.  You have a couple of choices:

1) Tell the xserver-xfree86 package not to do that.
2) Follow the instructions at the top of the XF86Config-4 file.

   1) xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout is a string type,
  not a select;
 I cannot find this file on my computer.

It's not a file, it's a debconf template.

$ sensible-pager /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

 Is the debconf database file /var/cache/debconf/config.dat. There the
 file you mention is referred to.

It's not a file, it's a debconf template.

   2) this template defaults to us, not sv
   3) So if it says sv, that's because you put it there.
 What do you mean, me personally?

Yes.  There is no other likely way the string sv could have gotten
there.

 By setting up debconf?

Yes.

 Yes, maybe I did, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xferr86 showed that.

So you can change the sv to se in whatever debconf frontend you are
using

   5) There is no Swedish translation for this template.  Perhaps someone
  would be so kind as to update the Swedish template translations?
 Where to find this file. Maybe I can help here if the text is not too long.

$ apt-get source xfree86
$ sensible-editor xfree86-4.2.1/debian/xserver-xfree86.templates.sv

 This patch is an effort to start moving X into a more architecture
 agnostic source code.
 
 I am going to join the xpert list and see if why they don't use exact
 integer types. This may kill the need for most or all of the
 architecture dependencies in Xmd.h

I'm going to hold off on appyling this until I know whether or not
upstream thinks it's a good idea.
