Bug#258044: xlibs: XGetModifierMapping() doesn't work well with Ivan Pascal's workaround for multi-layout maps that use different modifier keysyms
[Tuomo Valkonen] The keycode for Alt_L is 0x40. xmodmap also reports two mappings keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L keycode 125 = Alt_L and only XGetModifierMapping uses the incorrect one, causing at least some programs to not ignore alt presses/releases as they should. This has been fixed in -6, can you please confirm? Denis
Bug#268363: xserver-xfree86: Hammering randomly on the keyboard results in strange behaviour
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 Severity: normal Steps to reproduce: 1) Take a one year old child 2) Allow said child to hammer at random on your keyboard After this treatment, any keyboard input results only in characters appearing which (I think) have the high-bit set. eg pressing m results in a mu, d a lower-case delta (IIRC) etc etc. Using Alt-Tab-Fx to switch to a console results in a complete console lockup -- no response to any keyboard input whatsoever. Logging in over the network, I can kill restart X which solves the problem. I haven't nailed down a precise key sequence which causes the problem (for hopefully obvious reasons!). It probably has something to do with the combinations of ctrl, alt etc and various other keys, since the hammering happens mostly on the bottom of the keyboard! Is there some kind of magic key combination which will result in meta being a sticky key? I haven't been able to find anything in the docs, but that might explain the observed X behaviour (although not the console lockup which is presumably a kernel/X interaction triggered by X putting the keyboard in some weird state). cheers, Phil -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xserver-common4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g1:1.2.1.1-5compression library - runtime -- debconf information: xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/screen-size: 17 inches (430 mm) * xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev: false * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method: Advanced xserver-xfree86/config/doublequote_in_string_error: xserver-xfree86/config/device/bus_id: xserver-xfree86/config/device/video_ram: * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/lcd: false xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/internal: * xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver: mga * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/vert-refresh: 50-160 * xserver-xfree86/config/display/default_depth: 24 * xserver-xfree86/config/display/modes: 1280x960, 1152x864, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 xserver-xfree86/config/modules: GLcore, bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod, freetype, glx, int10, record, speedo, type1, vbe, xtt xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/range_input_error: * xserver-xfree86/autodetect_video_card: true * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/variant: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/port: /dev/psaux xserver-xfree86/config/write_files_section: true xserver-xfree86/autodetect_monitor: true xserver-xfree86/config/device/identifier: * shared/default-x-server: xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/emulate3buttons: true * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout: gb * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/horiz-sync: 27-96 xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/identifier: shared/no_known_x-server: xserver-xfree86/autodetect_mouse: true xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list: 1280x960 @ 60Hz * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/rules: xfree86 xserver-xfree86/multiple_possible_x-drivers: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model: pc105 xserver-xfree86/config/write_dri_section: true xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/zaxismapping: true xserver-xfree86/config/device/bus_id_error: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options: xserver-xfree86/config/nonnumeric_string_error: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol: PS/2 shared/multiple_possible_x-servers: xserver-xfree86/config/null_string_error:

My 10-year-old monitor died over a week ago of old age, and I currently only have this ancient 486 laptop to use as a serial terminal.

Bug#268432: xserver-xfree86: monitor is put into powersave mode on X startup
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 Severity: important When I start the X server from the shell by typing X, it puts the monitor into powersave mode. The reason for this could also be that the video mode chosen by X is not acceptable for the monitor. I use an S3 Trio 64V+ with an Scott monitor by Zulauf Display GmbH, Germany. Other hardware I use includes two NE2000-compatible PCI Ethernet cards, a sound card which uses the es1371 kernel module, a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro and a IMPS/2-compatible wheel mouse. Both the keyboard and the mouse are attached via USB. I use kernel 2.4.18-bf24 from woody. The problem occurs with and without X configured to use the framebuffer device. The X server settings are (at least, approximately) those, I use for woody. Especially, the settings for horizontal and vertical sync ranges are exactly those, I have always used on woody and are exactly those given in my monitor's documentation. Under woody, I use xserver-s3, version 3.6. Everything works fine there. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/xfree86/X.roster: xserver-xfree86 /etc/X11/X target unchanged from checksum in /var/lib/xfree86/X.md5sum.

Bug#268432: It has something to do with the color depth...
I checked the configuration of my woody xserver-s3 (which has version 3.3.6, of course, not 3.6 as I told you) and discovered that I use only a color depth of 16 there. So the configuration of xserver-xfree86 4.3.0 was not so close to my woody configuration as I suggested. Sorry. When I change the depth to 24 under woody, xserver-s3 shows me No valid modes found.. So obviously the lack of suitable 24 bit color depth modes leads to the problem with sarge's xserver-xfree86. I changed the color depth to 16 under sarge and it worked. Here is a complete overview of the results when trying the two different X servers with the color depths 16 and 24: xserver-s3, version 3.3.6 (woody) with color depth 16: works fine xserver-s3, version 3.3.6 (woody) with color depth 24: shows No valid modes found. xserver-xfree86, version 4.3.0 (sarge) with color depth 16: works fine xserver-xfree86, version 4.3.0 (sarge) with color depth 24: sends monitor to powersave mode (or chooses a video mode, the monitor cannot handle) I would say, of course, that xserver-xfree86 4.3.0 should also give an error message instead of sending the monitor asleep. ;-)

(Technically, Debian's nv driver in our XFree86 packages is bit fresher than XFree86 4.3.0, but not as fresh as XFree86 4.4.0 RC 3.) Are you in a position to try NVIDIA's proprietary drivers? I've finally been able to test the proprietary driver for amd64 and can report that it does support 1600x1200. Ryan
