Proposal on how to handle xorg include patches (WAS: Re: X Strike Force XOrg SVN commit: r28 - /)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 X Strike Force SVN Repository Admin wrote: | +| | +|-- xorg-source-include -- xorg-include Hi XSF, ~ as you might have noticed, we started (at low priority) working on X.org packages. The commits you are seeing now are only the proof of concept that we will use to split the tree in a sort of modularized way, using an approach close to the way in which our Debian kernel is packaged. There are some differences, but at this point in time, until the concept is not proved to be working, are somehow irrelevant. I am now facing a problem that i would like to discuss with the list. Example scenario: monolithic tree: xc/include/libfoo/foo.h xc/include/libbar/bar.h lsdiff debian/patch/XXXfix_foo_bar_due_to_baz.diff ~ xc/include/libfoo/foo.h ~ xc/include/libbar/bar.h and this is supposed to compile and work fine, since the new version of the libraries are patched and built at the same time. - - Modularized tree (files are not patched coming from xorg-source-include): xc/include/libfoo/foo.h xc/include/libbar/bar.h lsdiff libfoo/debian/patch/XXXfix_foo_due_to_baz.diff ~ xc/include/libfoo/foo.h lsdiff libbar/debian/patch/XXXfix_bar_due_to_baz.diff ~ xc/include/libbar/bar.h (note that there might no be xc/include/libfoo at all) bang! now both libfoo and libbar either will not compile properly due to foo.h and bar.h not being patched at the same time or they will not work properly for the same reason. Now I can see four possibilities to unroll this problem: 1 the xorg package that generates all the xorg-source packages will ship ~ a patched tree. ~ - Pro: all the patches will be applied at the same time to the entire ~tree therefor it's easier to track them. ~ - Con: patches will not be splitted (and this will only the delay the ~problem when a source will gain its own independency. ~ - Con: it requires an upload of more than 100MB of arch: all packages ~each time we change a patch, that is a waste of bw to all the ~mirror. ~ - Con: xorg packages will need a more strict control of build-deps, ~that will mostlikely end up in confusion and temporary FTBFS. 2 Create a package called xorg-patched-include from xorg-source-include ~ used only internally as build-dep. ~ - Pro: all the patches will still be applied at the same time in one ~place. ~ - Pro: it will avoid a 100MB upload each time. ~ - Con: patches are still not splitted. ~ - Con: xorg packages will still need a more strict control of ~Build-deps. 3 Split the includes at subfolder level (same as programs/ or libs/) ~ - Pro: all patches will be available within the proper package. ~ - Pro: patches will be splitted. ~ - Pro: less confusion for people that will try to build xorg from ~sources. ~ - Pro: much deeper control of what build-dep on what and why. ~ - Con: duplicate patches. We will have to keep in sync more patches ~in different packages. (given of course that the above scenario is ~true and probably it is.) ~ - Con: more xorg-source-include-* packages, but they are handled ~automatically. ~ - Con: possibly more complex build-deps. 4 Leave the includes all in one source package as it is now ~ (xorg-source-include) ~ - Pro: all patches will be available within the proper package. ~ - Pro: patches will be splitted. ~ - Pro: less confusion for people that will try to build xorg from ~sources. ~ - Con: duplicate patches. Considering that our target is to get the source as splitted as possible I think that solution number 3 will be the best one to let a source gain its own independency as fast as possible. tho it will need more maintaince our side, but i am pretty sure that we can manage to script these kind of sanity checks. I will be pretty much glad to hear other opinions so that the work can move forward.

Bug#270393: xdm.pid not checked properly
Branden Robinson: What, specifically, do you posit is wrong with the existing code? Two issues: 1) The daemon itself creates the pid file but does not properly remove it when something goes wrong during startup, in example if it can't start the x-server. 2) The daemon itself creates the pid file, but the pid seems to be checked by the init.d script/start-stop-daemon, which is a somewhat unusual und non-intuitive behaviour. The problem can be reproduced easily: Do something to make the xdm startup at boot fail (maybe because of a wrong setting in XF86Config, a not yet recompiled nvidia-driver after a kernel update, ...) then try to run xdm from the command line (not via the init script, but directly). Imho the clean solution is to have the pid file properly removed when xdm shuts down for whatever reason, and have xdm check the pid in the file itself.

Bug#263952: Pointers and Scale are invisible on secondary XINERAMA screens
On Wed, 2004-09-01 04:55:17 -0500, Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]: One way to prove that this *isn't* a driver problem is to do a screen capture (say, with xwd, but the GNOME and KDE desktops have apps for this as well) of the xclock window when it's on one of the screens where it renders wrong. I now moved xclock to one of the secondary screens and captured it with xwd. The first ~875 bytes contain real data, the rest (53791 bytes) are 0xff. Displaying the dump later on with xwud shows off a completely white image (this is what you see from xclock on one of the secondary screens). If the screen capture *doesn't* the pointers and scale, then this may be an xclock bug (or possibly widget library bug) after all. I guess (but of course I'm not sure -- I'm not a X11 / XFree86 guru...) this means that the used widget library contains a bug. I guess it's responsible for providing the xwd dump data, but not the hardware driver... But I'm betting they'll be there, and definitely show up when you view the screen capture image in the middle screen. You've lost:-) It's a completely white image and it doesn't make any difference if the xwud window is on the main screen or on any other. xclock is from: $ dpkg -l xbase-clients Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++--- ii xbase-clients4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 miscellaneous X clients All the rest of the X11 system is also at version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8.

Re: importing new drivers into source

I am currently running XFree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 from testing and have grabbed the source. Is it even feasible to think about trying to merge the i810 driver tree into the 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 source, increment the package version, and put all the pkgs on hold? Digging around uncovered an incredible amount of patching but since the i810 driver constitutes only about 12 files, I may give it a try. Any advice? Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you. You're attempting to tackle one of the harder tasks of XFree86 package management. Fabio Massimo Di Nitto and I have done this, but neither of us have an easy HOWTO to describe the process. The main difficulty with backporting drivers is that sometimes they code you backport depends on changes made elsewhere in the source tree, particularly in the common layers of the X server. For example, one headache in backporting post-4.3.0 drivers to 4.3.0 has been the rework of some region operation macros and functions. At this point all I can offer you are broad recommendations: * Learn how dbs works. * Read the xfree86 source package's debian/README file. * The patch-audit rule is your friend. It's no use trying to build if a patch doesn't even apply cleanly. * Use other drivers already backported from XFree86 or X.Org CVS as examples to guide your efforts. See, for instance: + debian/patches/000_stolen_from_HEAD_ati_driver.diff + debian/patches/000_stolen_from_HEAD_i830_driver.diff + debian/patches/030_Xserver_and_driver_region_primitive_fixups.diff If you are able to do this work well, and the new driver has not been contaminated by the XFree86 1.1 or X-Oz licenses, we might be able to incorporate your backport into a future Debian release.

Re: display switching under X/debian

I'm running Debian testing on an IBM thinkpad (X21) whose graphics card is an ATI Rage Mobillity P/M AGP 2x (rev 64) aka MACH64. I foolishly upgraded to XFree86 4.3 as part of a general update. It turns out (after much gnashing of teeth) that in release 4.3 XFree86 disabled display switching via the BIOS (that is, by Fn-F7 or similar). [...] Workarounds are tough: For now, the best I can come up with is to restart the X server with ctl-alt-backspace and hit FN-F7 twice before the server starts. Not real reliable. I tried atitvout (a nice package written by , the same person who posted that useful diagnosis above). Although it detects the LCD and the CRT (well, projector) fine, it complains that VBE call failed when I try to use it to select the CRT. get-edid also complains that VBE call failed so perhaps it is some ATI strangeness. I suppose it would be possible to downgrade to an earlier XFree86, but when I tried to do that, I get dpkg errors in preconfigure and configure saying discover: Bus not found. That way seems to lie madness. Is there anything anyone can suggest to address this while I wait for Debian to move to X.org or whatever is going to happen? I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. Downgrading may work after all -- try removing the discover package altogether. It's not essential for system operation. What you're seeing is the consequences of losing some more robust error-handling in the xserver-xfree86 config script when you downgrade. Also, just FYI, X.Org was forked from XFree86 right before XFree86 4.4.0 RC3 (release candidate 3) was released, not 4.2.99 as you said. -- G.

I don't anti-alias my fonts, which is why in my case having the bytecode interpreter on would be a good idea. Thanks for any answer in regards to how Debian does it. Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you about this issue. Debian's XFree86 packages use the upstream default for this. Looking at the source package (after unpacking and patching the tree): $ grep -3 BYTECODE xc/extras/freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h /*/ /* */ /* Define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER if you want to compile */ /* a bytecode interpreter in the TrueType driver.

BTW, I know the option is in a header file that is toggled at compile time, wishful thinking wise, it would be nice if it was possible to change that to an /etc file so the user could flip it on and off as needed.

FWIW, I used to see something similar with gdm and kdm a while back, and it was a VT allocation race between the X server and the gettys. IIRC the X server would attach to VT 2 but display on VT 7, so it would never get the input. AFAIR the mouse cursor worked though, is that the case for you? exactly, the mouse cursor still works, only keyboard seems to be broken. after hitting alt+sysrq+k, the screen get's messed up, then i change to tty1, this vc gets messed up completely, i type '/etc/init.d/xdm stop', and the messed up screen becomes somehow reset. Does the Debian X FAQ[1] help? How do I tell xdm to start the X server on a different virtual console? People who have customized /etc/inittab to add virtual consoles beyond the six that is the default Debian configuration often find that the xdm and getty programs collide and often leave the console in an unusable state. Debian's xdm program ships with a configuration that tells it to start one local X server on virtual console 7. This works fine with the default Debian /etc/inittab, but not so well for people who have changed inittab to start a getty on VC 7. If you have increased your number of virtual consoles, or otherwise require VC 7 for some purpose, simply edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and change the vt7 argument on the :0 server line to whatever VC is appropriate for your machine (vt8, vt12, etc.). Note that while the XFree86 manual page says that if the vt argument is not specified, the X server will use the first available virtual console, it is not a good idea to omit this parameter when starting local X servers with xdm. This is because even though xdm starts at the very end of the init sequence, well after the getty processes that manage the virtual consoles, some machines get through the init sequence so quickly that getty has not yet claimed its VC's before xdm starts. This leads to exactly the same kind of console lockup you get as if you deliberately tell getty (via /etc/inittab) and xdm (via /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers) to use the same virtual console for their respective tasks.

Here is a copy of the Config I use to run the nvidia card only: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050001162/debian/to_debain_maintainer/XF86Config-4_nvidia_working And here is the Config for the s3 Card: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050001162/debian/to_debain_maintainer/XF86Config-4_s3_working Here is my combined Config for the Dual Monitoring: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050001162/debian/to_debain_maintainer/XF86Config-4_dual And here is the log-File: http://home.t-online.de/home/520050001162/debian/to_debain_maintainer/XFree86.0.log Maybe you will find the time and help me with my Problem, it's driving me insane. Under Win 2000 everything runs fine (after I reinstalled Win, as usual). Could you please help me to understand what I did wrong and how to fix it? P.S. I'm running a up to date sarge on a Athlon XP Power PC. Thank you very much Ben Pfitzner

Re: x.org packages roadmap ?
On Sun, Sep 12, 2004 at 12:10:10AM +, ROBERTOJIMENOCA wrote: I saw this post on slashdot.org: http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=121015cid=10187780 This isn't funny. Do you have any roadmap to have x.org Debian packages? How may I help? You may be interested in the latest addition to the Debian X FAQ. What are Debian's plans with respect to X.Org and XFree86? Thanks to Fabio Massimo Di Nitto for contributing much of this entry. Because the XFree86 relicensing came at a time when Debian was trying to stabilize its XFree86 packages for the sarge release, there was some question among Debian's X Window System package maintenance team (the X Strike Force) — and much speculation among Debian's users — as to what direction Debian would take. There was never a serious proposal to attempt to ship anything other than XFree86 4.3.0 in sarge, so work on that continued while discussion on the debian-x mailing list took place. The following represents the consensus reached by the X Strike Force, without objection from the mailing list subscribers (among whom number many interested Debian developers and users). In June 2004, Fabio Massimo Di Nitto, the XFree86 package release manager for Debian sarge and sid, started a thread to discuss the future of X Window System packages in Debian for an open discussion between users and the Debian package maintainers. The discussion spanned nearly one hundred messages from over a dozen participants, practically all of it constructive and very useful to the Debian maintenance team. The outcome of the thread was farly clear to everyone: Debian will move away from the XFree86 tree as soon as possible after the upcoming stable release due to its license issues (see above). The XFree86 package maintainers are committed to providing support and assistance to the Debian Security Team for the XFree86 4.3.0-based packages than Debian will ship in sarge. That is, our abandonment of the XFree86 Project, Inc., as an upstream source of code does not mean that we will abandon our committment to the user of our production release. Futhermore, there was near-consensus that Debian should switch to the X.Org source tree, with the goal of migrating to the modularized tree over time. We expect that the monolithic X.Org distribution will be modularized in a piecewise fashion; as that happens, we will switch off the building of packages from the X.Org monolithic tree in favor of the modularized components that become available from freedesktop.org. While moving from XFree86's monolithic tree to X.Org's is a relatively simple technical transition of itself, the transition to a fully-modularized set of packages will take longer — indeed, an unknown amount of time which depends on the speed of upstream's progress — but we expect the process will bring the packages' quality to a higher level, thanks to the introduction of a fast release cycle for each single component. We expect to modularize two parts of the X.Org distribution immediately: XTerm and Xprt (the XPRINT server). Both of these are independently maintained by entities external to (but working in cooperation with) freedesktop.org. With these changes, it will also be easier for the Debian user community to have a broader choice in X servers. At present, the Debian XFree86 package maintainers intend to support only the XOrg X server (which is based on XFree86's). The X Strike Force does not plan to discourage other people from packaging others. Debian developers that file intent-to-package notices (ITPs) for other X servers are asked to strictly cooperate with the X Strike Force to maintain similar packaging standards, simplify the bug handling on shared components (like X libraries) and discuss future changes and improvements. As of this writing (October 2004), packaging of the X.Org distribution is underway in the X Strike Force's xorg Subversion repository (ViewCVS). -- G.

Thanks very much for looking into this. While this bug is resolved, please review the following information for future reference. You can ignore the request to send mail for this report. [The following is a form letter.] Dear bug submitter, Since the XFree86 X server is a large and complex piece of software, some more information is required of you before this bug can be handled. Please run the following commands from a shell prompt to gather and deliver this information to us: $ /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 /tmp/output 31 $ mailx -s Re: Bug#271235 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/output If you do not have a mailx command on your system, you can get it 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. One very good way to file bugs with the Debian Bug Tracking System is to use the reportbug package and command of the same name. The reportbug program does a lot of automatic information-gathering that helps package maintainers to understand your system configuration, and also ensures that your message to the Debian Bug Tracking System is well-formed so that it is processed correctly by the automated tools that manage the reports. (If you've ever gotten a bounce message from the Debian Bug Tracking System that tells you your message couldn't be processed, you might appreciate this latter feature.) Therefore, I strongly urge you to give reportbug a try as your primary bug reporting tool for the Debian System in the future. If you *did* use reportbug to file your report, then you're receiving this message because the information we expected to see was not present. If you deliberately deleted this information from the report, please don't do that in the future, even if it seems like it makes the mail too large. 50 kB (kilobytes) of configuration and log data is typical. Only if the included information greatly exceeds this amount (more than 100 kB) should you consider omitting it; instead, put it up on the World Wide Web somewhere and provide URLs to it in your report, or in subsequent followup by mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED].

The monitor seems to support DDC2 (there's information that looks like that in the log, even though get-edid can't find any, and X also works fine after running read-edid once, because subsequent DDC transfers by X fail if get-edid has been run)). In the list of supported modes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is mentioned. If I try to use a 1024x768 mode however, it won't work, and just fall back to 640x480 (which always works). If I unplug the monitor (turning it off is not enough) from the computer, X starts fine in 1024x768 mode, and continues to work after I plug in the monitor. I've attached my X config and XFree86.0.log for both the with-monitor and monitorless startup modes. Does the X server come up as desired with the monitor plugged in if you modify the Device section of your XF86Config-4 file to include the line: Option NoDDCValue true ?

Keeping the Debian Xprint sources seperate from the Debian Xorg sources ? / was: Re: PMF license / was: Re: [Xprint] Re: X Strike Force XOrg SVN commit: r19 -inxorg/trunk/debian: . scripts
Felix Schulte wrote: [snip] Since the xprint-org package is anyway maintained outside the xfree86 tree AND considering that the whole purpose of these new X.org packages is to split the tree as much as possible, I suggest that we can just stop shipping the xprint code from x.org tree, since there is absolutely no point in shipping it twice and maintaing it twice. Urgh. The X.org tree and the xprint-org are now coming from the same CVS repository as annouced on the xprint.mozdev.org front page. However I assume that both will continue to have different functionality, X.org version being the normal version, xprint-org being the development version or something like that. Fabio: What about making Drew Parsons the maintainer of both versions just for the case that you can't handle it? :) One version may be less confusing. Unless urgend bugfixing happened the normal release cycles between two major Xprint releases was more or less six months - the same amount of time Xorg is planning for their major version release cycle. But I agree... it sounds a nice idea to make Drew Parsons the maintainer of the Debian Xorg Xprint server package if he wants to do that (and Fabio and Branden agree with that). Maintaining the Xprint server as seperate package may or may not be slightly more difficult as it now supports the GLX extension (=OpenGL) which added more or less the whole Mesa codebase to the source. Having more than one person looking at the Mesa code may help a lot and lower the pain (at the beginning Drew had to work hard to get the Xprint server working on all platforms Debian supports and doing the same in two locations (Mesa in the Debian/Xorg tree and Mesa in the Debian/Xorg-Xprint) is twice the work where it wouldn't be neccesary) for Drew... :) I am pretty sure that the knowledge that Drew has on this package is far more deep than the one I have (possibly of other XSF maintainers). Meaning that his package is imho better qualified to stay where it is. Also resolving the issue of shipping two conflicting packages that are supposed to provide and do the same thing. Merging/re-building the package again from X.org means extra work needs to be done/redone/reviewed/etc. If nobody disagree with me i will start removing it within the next 2 or 3 days. I disagree :) I disagree, too. See my comments above.

Do you have any roadmap to have x.org Debian packages? How may I help? You may be interested in the latest addition to the Debian X FAQ. What are Debian's plans with respect to X.Org and XFree86? Thanks to Fabio Massimo Di Nitto for contributing much of this entry. [snip] While moving from XFree86's monolithic tree to X.Org's is a relatively simple technical transition of itself, the transition to a fully-modularized set of packages will take longer â?? indeed, an unknown amount of time which depends on the speed of upstream's progress â?? but we expect the process will bring the packages' quality to a higher level, thanks to the introduction of a fast release cycle for each single component. We expect to modularize two parts of the X.Org distribution immediately: XTerm and Xprt (the XPRINT server). Both of these are independently maintained by entities external to (but working in cooperation with) freedesktop.org. Uhm... correction: Xprint is part of the Xorg release, starting with X11R6.8.0 both trees are identical (before that Xprint was already part of X11 (since X11R6.4) but the plain X.org version was pretty much unuseable since the single vendors worked on their own implementations without contributing patches back). Xprint is no longer externally maintained. Just the documentation and mailinglist is still hosted at mozdev.org since too many links point to that site and we didn't had time to fight with Wiki (which seems to be mandatory for the freedesktop.org site... ;-/) ...
