Bug#280384: kernel version
Hi, I couldn't reproduce the problem on my ultra 10 running the 2.6.8 debian kernel for sparc64. Could you try to reproduce the problem using the debian 2.6.8 kernel for sparc 64 ? I use kernel-image-2.6.8-1-sparc64. Cheers, Peter (p2).

Bug#283127: Server crash probably on huge pixmap allocation
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal The X server crashes when I run `gv crash.psŽ with the attached file. I believe this is because of a huge pixmap allocation (the ps has a very large page size). reportbug originally attached a log file from another server. Fixed manually.

new keyboard config
Hi,
I am attaching here a patch which enables suport of my new Internet keyboard.
Please apply, and send to XFree86 and xorg mantainers.
I will probably send mysefl to XFree86 but I was looking for xorg contact man
for such thing, and could not find any in
http://freedesktop.org/Software/xorg

I would blame the kernel first (since 2.4 works well). I have noticed it, acutally. I don't know what it means exactly, but it seems that some small set of pixels near the cursor is affected.

Re: G3 iBook LCD brightness in X under kernel 2.4.25 and 2.6.8
Frank Murphy schrieb: I'm trying to migrate from a 2.4 to a 2.6 kernel, but I have one last problem keeping me with 2.4.25. There's a problem with adjusting screen brightness under X (4.3.0.dfsg.1-8). I'm running pbbuttonsd 0.6.6-2 with gtkpbbuttons 0.6.4-3 (which are tools that enable the LCD to be dimmed and brightened with keyboard pressed). When I'm running the Debian kernel-image 2.4.25-8 and I press the brightness up or down keys, I get the on-screen indication from gtkpbbuttons and the LCD dims or brightens as expected in both X and on the console. However, when I boot into kernel-image 2.6.8-6 or 2.6.9-1 and press the brightness keys, I get the on-screen indication in X, but the LCD doesn't change brightness. However, if I switch to a VT with a console, the brightness changes to what I tried to change it to. Also, pressing the brightness buttons works fine when I press them while in the console. My video card is a Mach64, and I'm using the 'ati' driver for X. One guess I have is that in 2.6, lots more things are built as kernel modules. I'd like to try build any needed video stuff in, but I don't know what it could be. Does anyone here have an idea what controls screen brightness in X? Your mouse pointer might get some noisy spots on brightness change, ever noticed? I would blame the kernel first (since 2.4 works well). The reason this is important for me is that the LCD is not dimmed when I close the lid for sleep, which kind of ruins the point of sleep. Does anyone have an idea of what else I need to do to get screen dimming to work under X with Linux 2.6? Try to ask on the ppc-kernel list (CCed). I suspect that nobody has reimplemented power management for mach64 in 2.6. The fact that lid closing does not put the display to sleep keeps me locked in 2.4, too (though I experienced that 2.6 is way faster). I played with the thought of fixing it myself (like I plan to fix DRI DMA some time) but was unable to allocate ressources (and enough motivation) So take this as a "I have the problem, too" posting Christof
