I guess this can be closed, it runs very well using "ati" as driver
and having the "dri" module loaded.

This works. Any idea if KDE could do something wrong here? Anyway, I can put
above line in my KDE startup scripts and hopefully the problem will be not
fixed but at least work-around-ed :)

I'm not sure if I really did answer you but just in case:

The kernel I'm running is the one from the Debian
pacakage "linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8".

I could build it myself if you send me the driver source with instructions.

Bug#362824: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Crashs with ATI RV350 Radeon 9600 @ amd64

2006-04-15 Thread Christian Hammers
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.7.3-3
Severity: important

Hello

After upgrading and solving the already known bugs of an empty "which X"
by linking it to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg, I now end up with a crashing X
server.

Even in "X -probeonly", the server starts up and the screen gets black.
I can still hear an mp3 that I started on console, continuing playing so
the system itself is still running. Just the ATI driver seems to make
problems.

I browsed /var/log/Xorg.0* but it only tells me the usuall information,
no errors.

My host architecture is amd64 if that matters. lspci:

Not as silly as me reporting now that the problems vanished indeed after
rebooting. Is this Windows or what? :)

alt-tab not working in text input areas but everywhere else since last upgrade

2005-07-31 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

Since I migrated to xserver-xorg and did the last apt-get upgrade the window
cycling alt-tab key combination does no longer work when the focus is given
to xterm, gnome-terminal or the text input areas of gaim and sylpheed-claws.
It does work in all other tested applications like madman, xmms and firefox.

FWIW, I'm using the sawfish window manager and start up via xdm. My
~/.xsession modifies just "keycode 0x6D =  slash" via xmodmap. The keyboard
setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the autogenerated:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
Driver  "keyboard"
Option  "CoreKeyboard"
Option  "XkbRules"  "xorg"
Option  "XkbModel"  "pc105"
Option  "XkbLayout" "de"
Option  "XkbVariant""nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Please tell me at least which package you think I should report a bug against,
sawfish, xserver-xorg or xlibs..? :-)

TrueTypes suddenly aren't displayed but still shown in xlsfonts

2002-09-21 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

xlsfonts and several other apps show correctly my msttfcorefonts font:
-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
Sadly no app can actually use it. gtkfontsel e.g. says "The selected font
is not available". xlsfont and some apps say: "Warning: Missing charsets
in String to FontSet conversation" and "Warning: Unable to load any
usable fontset". 

How to get my ttf back?

I tried to completely reinstall all X11 and font packages and even upgraded
from sid to the 4.2beta debs without any changes. 
I have of course loaded the "freetype" and no "xtt" module. I'm using the
nvidia display driver for my Geforce2 if that matters. Already upgraded
this thing, too. But it worked long time before.

The failure started at about 1 week ago after I restarted my computers
after week or so uptime and several apt-get -u upgrades...

A hint could be that I find nothing about freetype in xdpyinfo although it
loads fine according to /var/log/XFree86.0.log. For which string should I
look in xdpyinfo?

bye,

-christian-

strange kde init.d behaviour

2001-08-22 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

Today I upgraded to the most recent Debian unstable and KDE started to
behave very strange. When I disabled the last line in /etc/runlevel.conf
(/etc/init.d/kdm) and start it by hand with "/etc/init.d/kdm start" after
logging in everything works. When starting kdm by runlevel.conf it starts
X but in a much higher resolution which isn't even in /etc/X11/XF86Config
and sadly with non-working keyboard and mouse.

Can anybody imagine why? Or what could X lead to start so strange even 
without working keyboard (I can't turn numlock on/off)

any ideas appreciated,

again troubles with Euro sign

2001-07-03 Thread Christian Hammers
Hi

This time I have successfully konfigured MS-Truetype fonts with KDE and
anti-aliasing etc pp (via X 4.0.3 and XftConfig) and can now select 
iso-8859-15 fonts for all my KDE apps. I can show the character 0xA4
(according to man iso-8859-15) if I insert it into a hex file with khexedit
so the fonts are right but I cannot enter it.
I tried my .xmodmap with both, "currency" and "EuroSign" on the altgr-e
position but only "currency" give lets me enter a char at all. It gives the
right 0xa4 when editing a text file on xterm but all KDE apps just show
the currency sign but won't show an euro sign when using "EuroSign" either.

Any ideas?

bye,

crashing apps: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C

2001-05-19 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

fwbuilder is crashing whenever I click on specific menus. The upstrem
author cannot reproduce this and it seems to me, after browsing the web for
this error message, that it's maybe bad coding style but not an error in
fwbuilder but something more generic to GTK:

-
# export LC_ALL=C; export LANG=C; export LANGUAGE=C; fwbuilder
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: ISO8859-1
GnomeUI-ERROR **: file gnome-icon-item.c: line 304 (get_default_font): 
assertion failed: (default_font != NULL)
aborting...
Aborted
-- (some empty lines deleted)
That file is not part of fwbuilder. I tried to create some /etc/gtk/*
files that should match my normal de_DE / [EMAIL PROTECTED] locales but this, 
too
didn't work. I use xserver-free86 4.0.3-3 and normally the Windows truetype
fonts with the Anti-Aliasing configuration and /etc/X11/XftConfig.

strace/ltrace/ddd and gdm all didn't show something usable, also gdb's output
suggest that the problem is in libgnomeui32. 
I'm using the latest testing/unstable.

Any ideas?

Re: X colors broken after upgrade

2001-05-11 Thread Christian Hammers
Hi

This features is broken on my screen:
xeniac:/etc/X11/app-defaults# xterm
xterm: Cannot allocate color rgbi:0.2/0.2/1.0
This error appears when it first tries to e.g. list a directory where I 
use blue color for. When I exchange this string by "blue" it works.

Maybe you should fine tune the rgb values so that they work on 16bit 
screens, too. Assuming that every user has 24bit nowadays or that every
user first must adjust this config file before the output is reasonable
is not good.

Feel free to mail me if you need someone to test.

X colors broken after upgrade

Hi

I've just upgraded everything and now my xterm colors are broken.
vim, mutt and mc and even remote apps that I run via ssh changed colors
so I doubt that it's an application problem.

Is there a known bug in xbase or xterm?

Is *this* adjustable via Modlines?

2001-02-13 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

I have a big problem: I've just bought a 22" Belinea 108080 monitor for
about $900 but it does not work as I expected it to. 
I have a normal 1600x1200 modeline and everything seems to look good at the
first glance, but when I switch to small fonts I see that they are rendered
unreadable - the reason ist that (when pressing the nose on the screen) I
can see that every pixel consists of two half-bright horizontal dots on my
screen with a fine black emptyness between them - therefore letting me see
horizontal lines good but all thin vertical lines only half-bright.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Ideally I would only have to move the
whole screen about half a pixel horizontally but how can I tell that my
monitor?

Hope for help

-christian-

Strange ALT-sth behaviour in sawfish-gnome-X

2000-11-27 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

Maybe someone else experienced that too: I've used to have ALT-F1 to ALT-F4
for switching between my 4 virtual screens on 1 virtual desktop in 
sawfish-gnome (everything latest woody).

After one upgrade last week whenever pressing ALT, the border of the current
window gets dark (as if unfocussed) and nothing more happens. It gets focussed
again when releaseing ALT. The sawfish config tool still recognises ALT-F1
correctly as "M-F1".
Strangely after working some hours and intuitively pressing this keys
I then realize that it suddenly started to work until I next time restart
it... but I cannot find any reason for this!

What can I do? What debugging info would be helpfull?

VSZ memory of X

2000-10-22 Thread Christian Hammers
Hi

My X uses 80M of VSZ but only 8M of RSS memory. The eight megabytes seams
reasonably for an X server but why is the VSZ part so high? Does every
program that runs under X request it from X and so raises X's memory 
statistic?

I'm asking because I have only 64M and trying to save every bit...

... in case that they weren't reportet yet:

1. /etc/X11/Xsession wasn't executable and thus the gnome display manager
   (GDM) failed. Don't know which package to blame.

2. When starting xf86cfg and clicking on the top bar or on monitor->configure
   the program crashes. If I start a xterm on another text console and then
   start xf86cfg from there (already running X) I can see an Xt error message
   (forgot the exact phrase)

3. My german umlauts äöüß are gone. I used the same .xmodmap but although
   I had "/" mapped allright on the right control key, the umlauts produced
   no char at all.

4. Configuring german keyboard layout with xf86cfg yields to no effect (I
   restarted X, of course)
 
5. There was a missing dependency to xutils and thus mkfontdir could not
   be found.

Ok, good work else, I'm downgrading to 3.3.x and wait for the next snapshots
(or can anybody help me with the umlauts?)

TrueType fonts without xfstt

2000-10-08 Thread Christian Hammers
Hi

I still could not figure out how to enable my TrueType fonts (borrowed
from M$ Windows) in the new X 4.0.1 (0phase2v8) without using the xfstt
daemon.

People told me that including the freetype and/or xtt module in the
XF86Config should be enough but when just including freetype it says
that there's no font.dir in the directory and mkfontdir doesn't like to
create one, and when using xtt it does not complain but gtkfontsel (and
others) still do not show up my fonts. 

I also cannot find any real documentation for these both modules. Where
is it? Are there any additional options that I can include in my
XF86Config? Would upgrading to the very last phase12(?) be sufficient?

thanks,

 -christian-

Thanks for the hint. Do you know where these modules are documented?
(e.g. what benefit brings freetype and xtt? No font server anymore?)

Err, these were just one day old and I mailed to this list and did not
file a bug report *because* I knew that these are testing debs and I
wanted to help *testing* as I do not know how many bleding edge X users
use the Gnome display manager instead of the xdm, too.
So he should not get pissed of :-)

Or is there another discussion forum for new X debs?

xset fp+ no longer working

2000-08-01 Thread Christian Hammers
Hi

After installing X11 4.0 the following in the abiword script does not 
work any longer:
-=(/usr/share/abisuite/fonts)$ xset fp /usr/share/abisuite/fonts
X Error of failed request:  86
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Serial number of failed request:  8
  Current serial number in output stream:  10

Any ideas?

bye,

permissions on /tmp/.X11-unix

2000-08-01 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

After upgrading to X4.0 (well done Brandon) I always get the warning
"insecure permission/ownership on /tmp/.X11-unix" when starting gdm.
After chown'ing from root:gdm to root:root it works. Is this a problem
with the new X or with the new gdm? (I don't know who creates this dir
in /tmp)

bye,

 -christian-
