Bug#201884: xfree86: soft hyphen confusion

While XFree86 doesn't support all of Unicode (no wonder, that's a little big), there are many things that are supported, like the symbols under XK_PUBLISHING (I use doublelowquotemark, for instance), most of which are not in any ISO-8859-* charset, and are probably also missing from most others. The fact that hyphen maps to soft hyphen seems dodgy to me. Bye, Mike -- |=| Michael Piefel |=| Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin |=| Tel.

At the top left below ESC and next to 1 is a key with a +- sign as the shifted character and a § as the unshifted one (kind of a S with an o through it if it doesn't come through OK). That's called a section sign. I can't remember ever seeing a keycap like that before. I've never seen anything like that either. Can you tell me what scancode that key produces? You can use xev to determine this. Like I said, it scans as keycode 49.

autologin with xdm?
How can I autologin after boot with xdm? I'm tired of typing name and password each day at power up. The maintainer suggested I try another display manager, but all I use is icewm and don't need or understand the glitz. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If you do not provide more information soon, I will have to close this bug. Mr Robinson, A friend of mine pointed out that the Debian package I installed xterm from had the wrong MD-sum (although admittedly I am unsure what that is.) After re-installing the package it did work fine. My apologies for not checking this beforehand, and thank you very kindly for your time.

Bug#202923: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86: /var/log/XFree86.0.log has no timestamps
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-9 Severity: minor File: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log has no timestamps so one can't tell which session it is reporting on. OK, it is only one session. But when X fails and then gets restarted automatically, the old log is replaced. So either add timestamps and keep more than one log. Same problem for ~/.xsession-errors You see, when X crashes and gets restarted automatically where is one too look for what caused it... perhaps the crash was because I apt-got some fonts during the session, that got later used in gnus... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
