Bug#229850: DEFAULT_HORIZ_SYNC and DEFAULT_VERT_REFRESH still ignored (updated patch)
Thanks for the update, and for mentioning trying to get -8 into Sarge. I noticed that the bug wasn't fixed for -7 and that it had been pushed to -8 in the to do list along with several other debconf changes. If you're interested in help with testing, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Thanks for all you do and for finding the time to keep me informed through all of it. Please let me know what you think of the following logic. It includes your patch, along with some other enhancements as well as better instrumentation and internal documentation. I have committed this to the XSF SVN XFree86 repo's debconf-overhaul branch as revision 1858. Reading through the code, I have a couple of quick comments. I'll also test on a few machines and post additional comments even if they are limited to saying that it works well. * My guess is that several people out there have monitors whose refresh rates are suboptimal but whose rates will not get fixed during the upgrade because there are already answers in debconf to some questions. If my understanding is correct, this could be partially mitigated by changing the names of the some of the variables. I haven't actually looked to see whether this is the case, but it may be worth considering if it isn't. Stated differently, it may be worth seeing whether there is something that could make it possible to automatically fix suboptimal data left over from older versions of the package. (I'm going to dpkg -P --force-depends xserver-xfree86 and reinstall just to be sure.) * In the Medium monitor selection code, there are 60Hz and 85Hz choices for 1280x960 but only a 60Hz choice for 1280x1024. Personally, my eyes hurt looking at any screen whose refresh rate is less than about 75Hz (which is what motivated me to post this bug in the first place). I think it would be best if there were a 75Hz rate at all common resolutions. 1280x1024 is the native resolution on almost all 17 and 19 flat panels, so it is a pretty important one to have in there. There is also no option to have 1024x768 at anything higher than 75Hz. I guess, ideally, there should be a 60Hz, 75Hz, and 85Hz for all resolutions. If my understanding is correct, in principle, to convert the sync and refresh rates from one refresh rate to another at the same resolution, you should be able to multiply the top number in each range by the square root of the ratios of the sync/refresh rates. In other words, the ratio of the product of the sync and refresh rates should be the same as the ratio of the refresh rates. Someone else probably understands better. The obsolete XFree86 Video Timings HOWTO actually explains this better. Anyway, people with older hardware that need to use this menu probably won't be pushing those resolutions anyway. (I notice this rule I've stated doesn't actually match with all the menu items that are already there.) I should have time in the next day or two to test this on a few different machines. If I have access to check out from subversion, I'll try checking out the maintainer scripts and testing with all of them. Otherwise, I'll just drop this config_monitor into the version in the current package. (I'm trying to check svn now but alioth is too slow.) I'll try to get back to you after testing on three machines: a laptop with a Radeon Mobility M6, my desktop machine with a Radeon 9600, and my work machine with a built-in Intel video.

Jeff Licquia told me this has to do with the GNOME input method you have configured. Jeff, can you mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a little more elaboration? Sorry for the late reply; it appears that Debian's mail system held onto these messages for a while, so I just now got them. GTK+ has its own input method framework that is separate from the X input methods. This is necessary because GTK+ is supposed to be independent of X. The default input method is, of course, Latin. When implementing this method, the GTK+ people focused on ISO-8859-1, and did not implement many of the other Latin character sets. This is why GTK-based programs seem not to be able to type characters that other pure X programs can. There are several things you can do about the problem. All of them involve using a different GTK+ input method. You can test these by opening some GTK+ app that takes input, such as gedit. Right-click on the edit box, and there should be a submenu for Input Methods. The new input method should show up in that submenu. - Get a better GTK+ input method. The gtk-im-extra Sourceforge project (http://gtk-im-extra.sourceforge.net/) contains a Latin Plus input method, for example. While you're at it, you might also lobby the GTK+ people to include gtk-im-extra, and make Latin Plus the default. - There are alternative input method projects out there that provide GTK+ IM shims; look for the packages iiimgcf, scim-gtk2-immodule, and uim-gtk2.0 in testing/unstable. Most of these, though, are aimed at non-Latin issues, so I can't tell you if any of them would be appropriate. - Additionally, GTK+ ships with a XIM shim module. This is the solution I've implemented. If you want to make some other input method the default, edit /etc/environment, and set the environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE there to the input method module you want (xim for the XIM shim). Of course, you can do the same thing for just yourself by setting that environment variable in .profile, .bashrc, or whatever.

Bug#229850: DEFAULT_HORIZ_SYNC and DEFAULT_VERT_REFRESH still ignored (updated patch)
There's at least one bug in configure_monitor that I found during my testing. The place where configure_monitor decides to pre-answer the selection method with Advanced may be wrong. If I leave it as it appears in the original file: db_subst xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method default Advanced then the horiz-sync and vert-refresh debconf items never get set. If I change it to this instead: db_set xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method Advanced then everything works -- well, at least I get answers to those questions in the debconf database. Here's the relevant background. I should point out that preinst and config do not appear to be in sync at the moment, or at least I don't have correct versions. I used viewCVS from necrotic.deadbeast.net to grab the latest xserver-xfree86.config.in and xserver-xfree86.preinst.in along with shell-lib.sh. I reconstructed config and preinst manually by inserting shell-lib.sh at the right place. Upon doing this, I observed that there were no meaningful changes in either preinst or shell-lib.sh, which was not surprising since they still had an older svn revision. Since the overall structure of config changed quite a bit, I couldn't just drop configure_monitor in and instead had to use the entire new config file. For whatever reason, discover decides that the vesa device, rather than the ATI device, is the right one for my card. Even with correct settings, my monitor refresh rate is at 60Hz with the vesa driver and at 75Hz with the ati driver (which works fine as long as I don't load radeonfb). I have a Radeon 9600 card. Regardless of my DEBIAN_PRIORITY, I end up with a zero-length XF86Config file, and I get asked three times (once in config and twice in preinst) whether I wish to try hardware autodetection. In the end, apt-get install aborts saying that xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/horiz-sync is not set and tells me to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. Looking at /var/log/xserver-xfree86.config.log, I see this: 2004-09-26 04:36:36 PM-0400 configure_monitor(): using selection method which is what made me decide to try the change I described above. After I make the change, I get: 2004-09-26 04:42:11 PM-0400 configure_monitor(): using Advanced selection method I'll admit to not having a deep knowledge of debconf, so I'm not sure why the original code is wrong. There is a db_get on xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method before the above message, but I never see the question. In any case, the comment doesn't say that it wants to change the default: it says it wants to pre-answer the question, so I think the db_set is probably correct. I also can't see what in preinst is causing the autodetect_video_card question to be asked twice even though we've been through it already in config. The good news is that, if I make the one-line change I made, at least I do eventually get an XF86Config-4 that has the correct refresh rates. So obviously, there's some more work to do and I don't know how much of my testing problems were the result of my trying to cobble together configuration files from subversion. Again, please let me know if you need additional testing. I'll also try on some hardware that discover recognizes better to see whether some of the problems go away. -- Jay Berkenbilt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ql.org/q/

(Let's fall-back to twm or xterm to make people aware there is life beyond GNOME and KDE. Both xterm and twm are in your associated packages). 4) Hello, Branden. I am brave enough to write a section for quick start-up guide for X in my Debian Reference. Windows manager set-up was one of the challenging one and I want my life to be easy :-) (I still have to add/correct few things in there. This is solicitation of constructive flame.) Latest CVS build are: http://qref.sf.net/Debian/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-x Please consider replacing 50xfree86-common_determine-startup with something like attached file and update /etc/X11/Xsession.options accordingly as attached file.

Bug#273571: xserver-xfree86: lacks modelines for 16:10 modes
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 Severity: important I recently purchased a 20 16:10 aspect ratio lcd monitor from apple. I discovered, however, that X did not seem to have modelines for it by default. I used http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines to generate some, which I have tested to work on my monitor (apple 20 cinema display). I added the following to my XF86Config-4: Section Modes Identifier 16:10 # Computed by http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines # parameters given: (some came from the site's defaults) # bandwidth: 20 - 200 MHz # vert sync: = 85 Hz # horiz sync: 30 - 100 kHz # DDC did not detect vsync and hsync on my monitor, set manually ModeLine 640x400 33.51 640 672 832 896 400 402 414 440 #85Hz ModeLine 800x500 51.40 800 840 1040 1120 500 502 514 540 #85Hz ModeLine 1024x640 81.38 1024 1072 1312 1408 640 642 654 680 #85Hz ModeLine 1280x800 123.37 1280 1336 1616 1728 800 802 814 840 #85Hz ModeLine 1680x1050 199.18 1680 1752 2112 2256 1050 1052 1064 1090 #81Hz EndSection And in my Monitor section: UseModes16:10 Other users may want these modes to be in the standard database.
