Re: Why use a font server?
Another reason is that some TrueType fonts have problems rendering correctly. Some font servers actually render better than others.

Re: proposed alt/meta change to /etc/X11/symbols/us
Yeah, I'm used to the separate keys. I still don't like the position of the caps lock on a sun5 keyboard (I think that's the type on an Ultra sparc 5). But, that's an issue I can fix with xmodmap when using my Solaris account on campus. If I want to re-enable the extra keys, I can just use xmodmap.

Re: occured problems on fresh 2v18 install
Christian, I ran into some of these problems. 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) I found a solution to the Xt errors with xf86cfg. I just copied libXt.so.6.0 from Xbin.tgz that I downloaded from xfree86.org over debian's library. (See previous posts about that problem) That problem still exists. 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) Have ya tried xf86config to configure the keyboard? I also find that xkeycaps works quite well. (I switch keyboard layouts by using the gnome keyboard applet). 5. There was a missing dependency to xutils and thus mkfontdir could not be found. Yeah, I found that in xfonts-base or xserver-common (I forget which one). ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** ...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates. - Unknown **

XtMakeGeometry errors resolved
Hi, all. I figured out a way to resolve the parent not composite errors I've been getting from the xaw packages. I tried running apt-get to install X from the phase2 debbies. Of course, I started getting the error. But, I then downloaded the Linux-ix86-glibc21 tar files from ftp.xfre86.org. After overwriting the debianized X with the tar files (via Xinstall.sh), I no longer get the errors. All debian config files are preserved and working like a charm. Now, the xaw libraries are behaving just fine. I can now run Saphira and xfontsel and other xaw-based software without a problem. -- Derek J Witt, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: XFree86 4.0.1 and app-defaults
I just upgraded to XF 4.0.1 via the tarballs. I found out that X is more unstable than XF 4.0.0. The s3virge server just locks up my system faster than 4.0.0 did. I tried disabling gpm, all font servers to no avail. The only stability I've gotten from XFree86 (3.x and 4.0.x in general) is by using fbdev with VESA FB. While this is very stable for me, it's non-accelerated. This does hamper some things; I can't play some games like Q3A and Unreal Tournament (Not that really matters ;-) It seems that my box locks up mostly when xterm scrolls up or other changes content (scrolling and clearing window seem to be the culprits). I also had my box lock up when my screen changes content (e.g. moving windows or when other windows' content change). I am using a S3 Virge/GX2 with 4 MB VRAM (Diamond Stealth 3D 4000). This is an AGP card. I don't think it's a AGPx2. I tried adjusting the aparture size in my bios. I tried using from 0 upto 32Mb to no avail. It seems that 16Mb is perhaps the most stable. I also tried disabling all ROM shadowing in my bios. That seems to help some. I am still shadowing my video bios. I don't know if that affects it. I could also try disabling IRQ10 (making the video card not using IRQ's). BTW, I'm using a Tyan AT-100 bios dated 23 September 1999. I have 32Mb ram, K6-2/350. I am currently using 2.4.0-test4. I am at woody. I know i'm using at least libc 2.1.2 or so.
