Bug#394318: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Bug#399877: 394318: There is a fix for this.]

2006-11-23 Thread Drew Parsons
A patch might look like the one attached, adapted from the git patch.

However it introduces XkbConfigText and XkbWriteXKBGeometry,
XkbWriteXKBSymbols, XkbWriteXKBCompatMap, XkbWriteXKBKeyTypes,
XkbWriteXKBKeycodes, which my system does not know.

I'm not sure if this is a Build-Depends or a newer version of libxkbui
that's missing, or something else.

I think probably not. The presenter is the logic that ties together the

In case anyone wonders, the removal of xserver-config-script was 
intentional, I just forgot to mention it in the commit log. This file 
is no longer used, since all the functionality has been moved to 
xserver-xorg.postinst.in.

Support of multiple PCI domains in xorg - call for testing

2006-11-23 Thread Jurij Smakov
Hi,

I've built the experimental xserver packages with support for multiple 
PCI domains. That is required to make xorg work on sparc E250/E450 
machines (which have the videocard in PCI domain 1), but other 
architectures may benefit from it as well. As the change is somewhat 
intrusive, we are a bit reluctant to push it in this late in the 
release cycle, unless we can be sure that it does not introduce any 
regressions. It would be greatly appreciated if you could test the 
packages both on machines with multidomain PCI (to make sure that the 
patch does the right thing), and without it (to make sure that there 
are no regressions), and report any abnormal behaviour. The packages 
may be found at

http://www.wooyd.org/debian/xorg

The patch xorg-pci-multidomain.patch in this directory is essentially 
the original patch by David Miller from

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-December/011892.html

rediffed against the current source.

Best regards,

Bug#395044: Please upgrade the tdfx driver for Xorg 7.1

2006-11-23 Thread Drew Parsons

> Version 1.3.0 of the tdfx driver is now released fixing the locking bug
> of 1.2.1


Unless the function xf86getsecs is something new that we don't already
have, the changes between X11R7.1's tdfx 1.2.1 and this new version
1.3.0 appear to be minimal (with most of them being this particular
locking fix), so I think it ought to be safe to upgrade the driver.

seek method of eliminating unnecessary probing after successful installation of xserver xorg

2006-11-23 Thread Erich Minderlein
Hello

I try to "only use" X, but
the problem :
It seems that each time the x server starts, it takes endless time 
(less when stopping ) and from the log I see that it probes a lot of pci
bus adresses. 
This takes place either by hwinfo or lspci or something similar. 
Also that I know and could tell the xserver the pci address(es) of the
video device(s) in a config-file. 

The same for mode lines. 
Maxbee it makes sense to make 
a white list on what to do (=xorg.conf)
{
video card is at 
lspci -vxxxs :01:00.0 >>
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro
IGP (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
maybe second card is @ ..
}
and leave the other pci addresses alone 
a black list on what not to do 
(see /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist)
which even xdebconfigurator could fill and or respect.  

The same for mode lines. Tring all these modlines at each start
eats time, and once having established the working and desirable
modlines and display versions allows to eliminate cruft in the
xorg.conf.

This for discussion and reply

Can you please try the xserver packages from 

http://www.wooyd.org/debian/xorg

They contain the multidomain PCI patch by David Miller, posted at

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-December/011892.html

Please let me know if that helps in getting xorg work on your machine. 
Also, please send me the output of 'prtconf -p -v' on it, so I can 
hook up the detectiong of its video device into xorg.

We've talked about it in the past, and while I haven't actually used stgit
myself, I'm open to it. Most people seemed to like the quilt system enough
to keep it, but I'm definitely willing to give stgit a try. Does it provide
significant advantages over quilt?

Bug#397438: (no subject)

2006-11-23 Thread Michal Kapalka

Hi,

I had the same problem after some upgrade (on Debian testing). After a 
bit of trial-and-error, I've found that the following configuration (in 
xorg.conf) works well:


Section "Device"
Identifier  "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 
9000]"

Driver  "radeon"
BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
Option  "DDCMode"   "true"
Option  "AGPMode"   "4"
Option  "BIOSHotKeys"   "on"
Option  "EnablePageFlip""true"
Option  "EnableDepthMoves"  "on"
Option  "RenderAccel"   "on"
Option  "BackingStore"  "true"
Option  "DynamicClocks" "true"
Option  "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,CRT"
Option  "MergedFB"  "true"
Option  "MetaModes" "1400x1050 1400x1050-1280x1024 1280x1024 
1024x768"

Option  "CRT2Position"  "RightOf"
Option  "CRT2HSync" "31.5-64.3"
Option  "CRT2VRefresh"  "59-75"
EndSection

Apparently, the option "CRT2ForceOn", which I used before to solve a 
similar issue, is no longer supported by the radeon driver. Using 
"MonitorLayout" works as well, though.


Best,
Michal

You've probably modified this file yourself, because as far as I know

startx minor bug : argument -listen instaed of -nolisten

Hello
I don't know if I am up to date : 
I see this bug and it did not go away in an upgrade, 
so i fixed it from hand :
however if it comes from some debian package , it's reason must be found

I do not understand all this error reporting system 
please decide to fix it at the source or to forward it to rthe
responsible person. 

when using the binaries from sarge I have 

dpkg -l xbase-clients

when I do /usr/bin/X11/X the xserver starts.
when I do startx the x server does not start,
it does not accept the argument "-listen" .

as this argument is not acceptable as per man xorg ,
but who puts this argument ?

Same here, with current Debian X server/libraries, and xterm 222 with
libXt 1.0.2, xterm 213 with libXt 1.0.0, xterm 200 with libXt from XF86
4.3.
$HOME/.Xdefaults is only read if (!pd->server_db), which is not the case
here (see libXt/src/Initialize.c:XtScreenDatabase()).  I'll try to see
what happens with a different server.
In any case, this is not a bug in xterm, the same happens with the other
clients I tried (xmessage, for instance).

Julien

hmm - I see the screenshot (will try to reproduce, though having read the
recent patches for lxdialog am wary of that one).  midnight commander's
a better basis for comparison.  I don't use that except for testing - and
still don't see a problem running that.


Ok, I've drilled down through my settings in .Xresources, and I've
managed to isolate it to the following resource.

  XTerm*faceName:   "monospace"

Simply setting it triggers the bug.  Remove it, and the bug goes away.

Hope this helps.

Looks like you are hitting bug #394465. As a workaround, try removing

Bug#397915: xserver-xorg -english keyboard missing pipe symbol

2006-11-23 Thread Mgr. Peter Tuharsky
This bug takes place only in the case, that the keyboard switching is 
done in xorg.conf by the lines:


Option  "XkbVariant""qwerty"
Option  "XkbLayout" "us,sk"
Option  "XkbOptions"grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"


If I don't use X-level keyboard switching, let only us XkbLayout, and 
use GNOME keyboard switching instead, it works fine -the US keyboard 
does have functional pipe key.

I installed xorg on another partition due to lack of disk space, and 
symlinked /usr/{share,lib,include}/X11 to point to the right place. With 
this approach, the upgrade of x11-common leave the system half broken, 
as f.i. there is no more locale data. Would it be possible to either:
1) put a message BEFORE breaking the symlink
2) leave the option to enable or not changing the symlink to a real dir
3) analysing more thoroughfully the kind of link (what do you want to 
correct exactly) before deciding it has to be changed.

I understand that were are close to an important transition, but please 
at least warn before changing the directories structure.

Thanking you in advance
