I will try to find this discussion in Debian's list archives if you're interested. * No one's complained yet about people freely distributing these files, so they must be DFSG-free. This premise is just plain bogus. I don't think Debian can afford to get dragged to court and try to defend ourselves on fair use grounds (or by invoking the theory of laches, which is what you seem to be implying). I am perfectly willing to be persuaded that these files are under a DFSG-free copyright license, or are in the public domain, but in my view you haven't made a convincing case yet.

Please test new ca, ch, hu, jp, mn and vn layouts for PC models
Hi, you filed bugreports for not being able to select multiple layouts. Could you please get new XKB files from http://people.debian.org/~barbier/xkb/xkb-4.3.0.dfsg.1-8+SVN.tar.bz2 and test your desired layouts? These layouts can be loaded without problems, but as I am not familiar with them, it is pretty hard to check that everything works fine. Since we are releasing soon, your feedback is very important to quickly solve problems if needed (or to know that it works ;)). Here are basic instructions for testing: # cd /tmp # wget http://people.debian.org/~barbier/xkb/xkb-4.3.0.dfsg.1-8+SVN.tar.bz2 # cd /etc/X11 # mv xkb xkb.orig # tar jxf /tmp/xkb-4.3.0.dfsg.1-8+SVN.tar.bz2 # mv xkb xkb.test # ln -s xkb.test xkb [Restart X, perform tests] # rm xkb # mv xkb.orig xkb # rm -rf xkb.test Thanks Denis

This may be true in the United States, but one of the big reasons Debian still has a non-free section is because Adobe in Japan asserts copyright over just this sort of thing. Again, this does not cover the PMF files. The original files have been commited by Hewlett-Packard under the MIT/X Consortium license many many years ago (and the files for the Postscript DDX were later refreshed by me to fix a minor bug - and I committed them under the same license: MIT/X.org). The so-called copyright notice in these files is just an attribute which informs the application that the attribute COPYRIGHT has a value. But this value does not relicense the file itself away from the MIT/X.org license. That would be the same as relicesing this email just because it references the string. References or index data of this kind cannot be copyrighted, neither in the US nor in Japan nor elsewhere in the world. I will try to find this discussion in Debian's list archives if you're interested. Sure. It may be possible that Adobe Japan did some tricky stuff with CID fonts, but again this doesn't apply to something which has been explicitly commited under the MIT/X.org license by the authors.

Hello, I have also installed the package msttcorefonts and after a dist-upgrade I was experiencing the same problems: emacs didn't start anymore. I solved the problem by commenting out a FontPath line in /etc/X11/XF86Config: #FontPath /usr/share/fonts/truetype I inserted this line earlier myself, but I do not know anymore why. I don't know why removing this line solved the problem. Hope this helps... Jonas Kley
Bug#216933: update
I've been running with current unstable versions of xserver-xfree86-dbg for long enough to sometimes forget this bug. It's never shown up while I'm running the -debug binary. This is a great workaround. I suppose the next step would be to binary search through, building individual files and eventually functions with and without optimisation until the problem code is isolated. Given how hard the bug can be to reproduce or be sure of not reproducing, that could take a good long time though. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Can you tell us what you're trying to accomplish with your xmodmap configuration? Perhaps there is an XKB configuration we can recommend that will serve your needs. Of course: I'm a native speaker of German, not English, and use some other languages on occasion. Example: Swedish, rarely French. My work consists about half of programming and discussing with English speaking people, and the other half is writing texts in German. I'm a user of vi, emacs and LaTeX, too... Most programming languages require the use of braces, brackets, backslashes and the like which are very awkward to reach on a normal German keyboard layout. Likewise, and depending on the keyboard, Escape may be far off, Backspace and Delete switched, and you name it - there are other oddities on keyboards which make work cumbersome and straining. These I correct partially with my xmodmap as follows: - Select a base layout of en_US (pc105) - Make AltGR let me type in the German Umlauts with ease (and where they are prointed on the keycaps). - Swap Backspace and Delete - Swap 'Escape' and 'Menu' - Have the few more rarely used keys on AltGR + some other key (eg. AltGR + 'a' - å) I'm already looking into XKB, but haven't gotten very far. Best, --Toni++

Bug#261251: Workaround for the CMS bug
Hi, I have been trying to search on this bug for quite a while. I think that we've finally got a workaround (not a fix). Just go to see my page about it: http://www.cs.auc.dk/~fleury/bug_cms/ The idea is to compile the Xserver without optimization, it seems to improve a lot the stability of the Xserver and, anyway, the CMS itself is providing some optimization, so you do not loose that much. Another news, is that it seems that the bug has gone in CMS 4.4.x serie and higher (it only was in CMS 4.3.x). But, I don't think that neither Fujitsu nor Sony wants to provide a patch for this. Well, I think we should close the bug now, no ?

problem. If your initial settings in XF86Config-4 were causing trouble,
these error messages would be logged into /var/log/XFree86.0.log
... a quick grep
grep -irs TWO_LEVEl /var/log/
gave results only for
/var/log/gdm/:0.log*
Since they are stored in /var/log/gdm/:0.log this means that:
a. An application modified your settings
modified which settings? Those that are normally determined by
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4? And who or what did modify it ?
b. You are certainly using GNOME ;)
Positive .. :)
Can you please send the output of the three following commands?
xkbcomp -o - :0 | grep xkb_symbols
$ xkbcomp -o - :0 | grep xkb_symbols
xkb_symbols pc/pc(pc105)+pc/de(nodeadkeys)+inet(acpi) {

Bug#275735: xserver-xfree86-dbg: server (normal and -dbg) lock with radeon (Mobility 7500 M7 LW) on an ibook
Package: xserver-xfree86-dbg Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal Hi, I have a bug similar to #236187 but with the radeon driver. While using the server with both GL applications (eg glxgears) and xdvi, it eventually loops forever. I did not manage to find a simple systematic way to reproduce it, but it happens almost everytime I have been trying to use X for some months. X used to work correctly before (with the 4.2.99 from M. Daenzer). I also managed to make X lock with only glxgears, but it seems that starting xdvi on a dvi file makes the lock appear faster... don't ask me why. It also locked with only xdvi and emacs, but I'm not sure it still happens (I dist-upgrade-d many times in the meanwhile, without testing it again). The bug appears with the normal xserver-xfree86, and also xserver-xfree86-dbg, on both linux 2.4 and linux 2.6 (ppc host), with debian or custom built kernels. It appears with or without the commented-out options in the Device section of the XF86Config-4 below (EnablePageFlip and AGPFastWrite), even when I change the value of the AGPMode option. Here are some gdb traces on the -dbg version of the server (debian 2.6.8 ppc UP kernel). In gdb I tried to break multiple times to see whether the call stack changed. Another trace comes afterwards, which was made with the normal version of the server (ie no debug): - begin 1st gdb session (-dbg server) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# top top - 23:06:21 up 10 min, 6 users, load average: 3.11, 1.48, 0.66 Tasks: 105 total, 2 running, 103 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 19.6% us, 13.9% sy, 0.2% ni, 38.7% id, 27.2% wa, 0.4% hi, 0.0% si Mem:385784k total, 219096k used, 166688k free,14072k buffers Swap: 511992k total,0k used, 511992k free, 102548k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEMTIME+ COMMAND 3186 root 15 -10 68360 11m 62m R 97.8 3.1 0:46.77 XFree86-debug 3608 root 16 0 2608 1104 2392 R 3.1 0.3 0:00.03 top 1 root 16 0 1604 556 1456 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.91 init 2 root 34 19 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ksoftirqd/0 3 root 5 -10 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:02.90 events/0 4 root 6 -10 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 khelper 18 root 5 -10 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.05 kblockd/0 34 root 20 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 pdflush 35 root 15 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 pdflush 36 root 16 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kswapd0 37 root 7 -10 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 aio/0 255 root 15 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 kjournald 298 root 6 -10 1584 420 1436 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.03 udevd 899 root 18 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kjournald 900 root 15 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 kjournald 901 root 15 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kjournald 902 root 15 0 000 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kjournald [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# gdb -p 3186 GNU gdb 6.1-debian Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Bug#262111: WFM
Ok, now it works, after a reboot. I had restarted the X server (obviously, as it kept crashing) since I upgraded to xserver-xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1-8, but I didn't reboot before now. Sorry for the noise. Tormod ps. Sarge really rocks on this old beige g3!
