This is going to generate spurious events when speaking the EXPS/2 protocol from unpatched kernel HID layers, specificly drivers/input/mousedev.c generates the wheel data incorrectly, I have a patch for that which I'm trying to get accepted upstream. I have actual hardware which speaks the protocol in question, in both one and two wheel versions, and none actually generate anything except 0x1 and 0xf for the first wheel, the kernel will generate something other then that, if unpatched, for /very/ rapid wheel movements on slower systems. The problems of that with X and this patch are further reduced by the fact that ZAxisMapping will, if only given two buttons, map W axis (0x2 and 0xe) to the same buttons as the z axis, and if it is something other then those two it will be dropped. I do not expect to see anyone suddenly loosing functionality from this patch. (=:] Zephaniah E. Hull. -- 1024D/E65A7801 Zephaniah E.

Marc's analysis is exactly correct. "x-window-system" core exists to
give the user practically everything from the XFree86 distribution.
That means not just any window manager, but twm.
That means not just any terminal emulator, but xterm.
That means not just any display manager, but xdm.
It sounds like "x-window-system-core" is more suited to your purposes,
if you don't care for xdm.
Package: x-window-system-core
Architecture: any
Depends: ${F:XWSC-Special-Depends}xlibmesa3, xfonts-base (>> 4.0),
xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-scalable, xbase-clients, xutils
Description: X Window System core components
This metapackage provides the essential components for a standalone
workstation running the X Window System. It provides the X libraries, an X
server (except on the S/390 architecture), a set of fonts, and a group of
basic X clients and utilities.
.
Higher level metapackages, such as those for desktop environments, can
depend on this package and simplify their dependencies.
.
It should be noted that a package providing x-window-manager and a package
providing x-terminal-emulator should also be installed to ensure a
comfortable X experience.

Architecture: all
Depends: x-window-system-core, lbxproxy, proxymngr, twm, xdm, xfs, xfwp, xnest,

Description: X Window System
This metapackage provides substantially all the components of the X Window
System as developed by the XFree86 Project, as well as a set of historically
popular accessory programs.
.
The development and debugging libraries are not provided by this metapackage.
Closing this bug, which appears to be a product of failure to read the
package description.

In the future, please supply diffs to existing files. It makes it
easier to see what you're actually changing.
I'm attaching a unified diff to show you what I mean.
Anyway, it looks the best fix is for the macintosh/fr symbols file to
work like the "plain" (which is to say, PC-keyboard-centric) fr file.
It should just augment the "us" symbols file to include the stuff in the
alternate symbols group.

I get this prompt all the time when testing my own XFree86 packages and have never seen this behavior. Can you reproduce this? Can you tell me more about the circumstances? What are you using to upgrade the system? "apt-get upgrade", aptitude, something else? I don't think debconf is intercepting anything, because the confmodule isn't sourced by the prerm script. This will be changing in 4.2.1-4. I've already debconfed this question, which was the last non-debconfed interactive thing in the XFree86 maintainer scripts.

I always had the problem with my G450 and later with my G550 that X wouldn't set the gamma the same on both heads, although it claimed that it was according to the log. The monitors were the same make and model, and the difference was distinct and annoying. OTOH, xgamma was always quite willing to set the gamma on the heads separately, and I was also able to specify specific gamma settings for each monitor in XF86Config-4 and have them take effect. > [I'd appreciate feedback from Matrox users on the debian-x list so I > know whether I'm right about 2) or not.] Hope that helps. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] msg04417/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Marc's analysis is exactly correct. "x-window-system" core exists to
give the user practically everything from the XFree86 distribution.
That means not just any window manager, but twm.
That means not just any terminal emulator, but xterm.
That means not just any display manager, but xdm.
It sounds like "x-window-system-core" is more suited to your purposes,
if you don't care for xdm.
Package: x-window-system-core
Architecture: any
Depends: ${F:XWSC-Special-Depends}xlibmesa3, xfonts-base (>> 4.0), xfonts-100dpi,
xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-scalable, xbase-clients, xutils
Description: X Window System core components
This metapackage provides the essential components for a standalone
workstation running the X Window System. It provides the X libraries, an X
server (except on the S/390 architecture), a set of fonts, and a group of
basic X clients and utilities.
.
Higher level metapackages, such as those for desktop environments, can
depend on this package and simplify their dependencies.
.
It should be noted that a package providing x-window-manager and a package
providing x-terminal-emulator should also be installed to ensure a
comfortable X experience.
Package: x-window-system
Architecture: all
Depends: x-window-system-core, lbxproxy, proxymngr, twm, xdm, xfs, xfwp, xnest, xprt,
xspecs, xterm, xvfb
Description: X Window System
This metapackage provides substantially all the components of the X Window
System as developed by the XFree86 Project, as well as a set of historically
popular accessory programs.
.
The development and debugging libraries are not provided by this metapackage.
Closing this bug, which appears to be a product of failure to read the
package description.

In the future, please supply diffs to existing files. It makes it
easier to see what you're actually changing.
I'm attaching a unified diff to show you what I mean.
Anyway, it looks the best fix is for the macintosh/fr symbols file to
work like the "plain" (which is to say, PC-keyboard-centric) fr file.
It should just augment the "us" symbols file to include the stuff in the
alternate symbols group.

I get this prompt all the time when testing my own XFree86 packages and have never seen this behavior. Can you reproduce this? Can you tell me more about the circumstances? What are you using to upgrade the system? "apt-get upgrade", aptitude, something else? I don't think debconf is intercepting anything, because the confmodule isn't sourced by the prerm script. This will be changing in 4.2.1-4. I've already debconfed this question, which was the last non-debconfed interactive thing in the XFree86 maintainer scripts.

problem about SID/xserver
Hi, I have some big problem after an dist-upgrade on unstable. My system was runin before also unstalble. Some must be chance, but I cant find some in debian-databases/google etc. Log is attached. I will ask you if you can give me any hints to fix my problem. I will say many thanx before System: Debin/Sid unstable Mainboard: VIA Chips-set CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) cpu MHz=1000 Graphic-card: Matrox G-450 At boot the grafic-card are detected! The errors are sometime not the same...have made the XF86Config-4 file whith xf86confiug. The debian-tool dexconf create some configfile but not a right one. All the time, before the last dist-upgrade (I make any week a dist-upgrade), had no problems all the time. The main-errormesage is: "No driver found" and "no screen found" (EE) No drivers available. ok.. cut -- saturn[1]:~ # ls -la /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_hal_drv.o -rwxr-xr-x1 root root /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_hal_drv.o cut -- ...drivers are available.

Bug#79394: The bug is back
Hi, I was too hasty in saying the bug is gone. I just decided to play with KDE a bit (I had been using Gnome so far), and now the bug is back. Apparently, some X background manipulation programs, such as the one KDE uses to set the background picture, or Esetroot, cause corruption on the framebuffer console. It looks almost like they overwrite a font cache or something... Would it help if I took pictures of the corrupted framebuffer with a screen grabber?

Bug#166497: x-window-system: should depend on x-display-manager instead of xdm

How is this anything more than a wishlist bug? What's going to win if NOTHING is installed, which is when people are going to be installing x-window-system in the first place. Xdm is the XFree-provided display manager. Install another if you want another. All the display managers can co-exist. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
