 Well, I think what the code does is make buttons that were formerly
 numbered 6 and 7 numbered 4 and 5 instead.

Ah, that sounds right.

  How recently did you notice this change in scroll wheel behavior?
  What version of the xfree86 packages were you running previously?
 
 Very recently (in the last couple of weeks).  So September 2003
 doesn't seem possible.  I've been running unstable for about a year,
 (updating most days) so I've presumably been running 4.2.1-12 and
 later for a long time.

 You didn't happen to have your X server up for a good 8--10 months, did
 you?

No, that can't be it.  I was running X from an experimental source for
a while, so I guess it's possible that I somehow missed it before.  It
doesn't feel likely, but these things happen.  Anyway, everything's
working now with the mouse.

 Okay.  I looked around there and you appear to be right.  I'll await word
 back from the upstream developer via you, though.

I haven't got an answer from the developer yet. But if it's in
freedesktop.org... 

 Would someone on the debian-x list who actually owns i915 box like to
 undertake this?  How about someone with any other Intel video chipset, at
 least see if any regressions are caused?

There's probably no one that owns a i915 yet because the motherboards
with it are just coming out. OTOH anyone with a board that uses the
i810/i830 driver should be able to use this and this driver should be
better than the old one.

Bug#257302: xfree86: general complaint about XFree86 on Dell Latitude D400

2004-07-11 Thread Frans Pop
On Saturday 10 July 2004 19:23, Branden Robinson wrote:
 Doesn't d-i install mdetect to autodetect the mouse?

D-i does install both read-edid and mdetect during first stage installation.
However, they are both _uninstalled_ somewhere during base-config.
(See also #250422)

I have noticed myself that if read-edid and mdetect are installed at the same 
time as xfree-xserver86 (e.g. by selecting them from the suggests list), 
they may not be used during X configuration (as they are not yet set up at 
that time).

No, read-edid and mdetect are installed by base-config (but see bug #258690),
prior to package installation. They are later removed, iff X was not
installed.

 I have noticed myself that if read-edid and mdetect are installed at the same 
 time as xfree-xserver86 (e.g. by selecting them from the suggests list), 
 they may not be used during X configuration (as they are not yet set up at 
 that time).

Since X doesn't declare a dependency on them, selecting them for install
at the same time as X does not even guarantee they'll be _unpacked_ when
X is conigured. And they will certianly not be available when it's
preconfigured. This is why base-config is complicated with the need to
mess with read-edid and mdetect itself, and why I'm left with bugs such
as #250422 which I cannot fix.

There are other, better ways this could be done, but they all require
reorganising how X's configuration is done.

Crashed again even after leaving mozilla for another window. However:
Odd, it only happened that one day -- the first day in a week of no

hurd-i386 updates

2004-07-11 Thread Michael Banck
Hello,

I've brought the hurd-i386 port of xfree86 back on track. The hurd port
had some 4.1 packages and later on some 4.3.0-0pre1 or something
packages from before the xlibs-split. Both of them were not available on
ftp.debian.org due to extra hacking required.

Initially, I took the xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 source package and the
k*BSD patch from
http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/patches/xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-4.diff I
needed to tweak a couple of .install files to .install.hurd-i386 and fix
a parse error in xc/programs/xterm/xterm_io.h or similar introduced in
the k*BSD patch but that was it. The resulting packages are up at the
ftp.gnuab.org repository and they work well on my Radeon7500 with the
ati driver.

However, the k*BSD patches are pretty big and Robert Millan apparently
wants to get them applied upstream, which seems works quite well. On the
other hand, the hurd-i386 needs updated xfree86 packages on
ftp.debian.org ASAP to continue the development effort. Thus, I've just
updated the 80* series of patches to make xfree86 build and install on
hurd-i386. The attached file xfree86_gnu_patches.diff contains those.

In order to have a clear look at the differences between linux.cf and
gnu.cf, I shuffled gnu.cf around and reformatted some parts, in order to
sync the two and make the diff somewhat easy to read. The main questions
are the following defines, which were missing in gnu.cf (diff from
linux.cf to gnu.cf):

-#  define StaticNeedsPicForShared  NO
-#  define KernelVersionInBannerYES

Should we have those? What is the default for the first? I did not add
them for now.

-#  define BuildRenderLibrary   NO
-#  define HasRenderLibrary YES
-#  define BuildXcursorLibrary  NO
-#  define HasXcursorLibraryYES

-#ifndef HasLibpng
-#define HasLibpng  YES
-#ifndef HasGroff
-#define HasGroff   YES

As hurd-i386 has those libraries/programs now, I added those.

-#   define FontLibSharedFreeType   NO

This one causes a build failure even with the current trunk, as
xc/lib/font/libXFont apparently does not get built on Linux and
xc/lib/font/Freetype/fcfuncs.c needs to be updated for current
libfreetype6. I added the #define to gnu.cf as well, is that reasonable?

The addition of the xcursor stuff and the definition of Groff resulted
in a changed MANIFEST.hurd-i386, which I updated. 

Those changes are attached in xfree86_hurd-i386.diff. Please tell me
whether the changes are good or whether I should proceed differently. I
tested them against subversion trunk (revision 1623) as well as revision
-6 of 4.3.0.dfsg.1 and they applied (after a bit of fussing around) and
worked (as in built and ran) fine. However, I did no test build on
GNU/Linux, so if you feel this is required let me know. I doubt it
should break something, though.

It would be nice if hurd-i386 could be back on line with the next
upload.


cheers,

Michael

 However, White is still white
 And black (e.g. background of a term window) is still black

Thanks for following up.

This sounds pretty definitively like an upstream driver bug.  I'm tweaking
the bug parameters accordingly.

In the meantime I can only advise that you stick to color depth 8 (though
depth 15 might be worth a try).  I know that sucks.  :(

Too many unknown commands, stopping here.

Bug#258130: Make X applications depends on x-window-system-core

 After the baseinstallation and reboot, a newbie can type

 Curently it does not work (POTATO, WOODY and SARGE) and newbies do 
 not know, that there is a Meta-Package x-window-system(-core) same 
 for a windowmanager.
 
 In my view part of the Debian philosophy is to accomodate newbies where
 possible, but to refuse sacrificing the experts to them.
 
 I suggest you start using tasksel, then.
 
 It installt too much

I simply do not agree with your proposed remedy for this problem.

I suggest you begin a discussion thread on the debian-devel mailing list
with a description of the problem, and solicit solutions to it.  I suspect
most of my fellow developers will agree with me that making all X clients
depend on the entire X Window System sample implementation is not a good
idea.

Not for me.  Did you remember to quote it to prevent the shell from trying
to interpret some of the characters within it?

(In any event, you can find it within the logs of Debian Bug #201737.)

 Here it is:
 ---
 Hmmm, with just LIBGL_SOFTWARE_RENDERING=yes kicker does not crash,
 Xserver eats 100% processor time indefinitely (even when 3D image does
 not move).
 With all env vars =no, computer crashes for ATI Radeon 16MB.
 I'll check tomorrow for other system.
[...]
  And kicker hangs, but other apps continue to run?
 
 Yes, perfectly :-). (I tried konsole, Mozilla Firefox.

Thanks for following up.

The above tells us it's almost certainly a problem either in xlibmesa-dri,
or in the DRM kernel modules.

Please run the following commands from a shell prompt to gather and deliver
some more information to us:

$ /usr/share/bug/xlibmesa-dri  /tmp/output 31
$ mailx -s Re: Bug#257190 [EMAIL PROTECTED]  /tmp/output

If you do not have a mailx command on your system, you can get by
installing the mailx Debian package; for example, with the aptitude
install mailx or apt-get install mailx commands as root.  Alternatively,
you can also use a mail command that is compatible with mailx's
command-line syntax, such as mutt.

Thanks again!
