Bug#504104: xserver-xorg-input-mouse: Emulate3Buttons stops working from time to time

2008-10-31 Thread Gernot Salzer
Package: xserver-xorg-input-mouse
Version: 1:1.3.0-1
Severity: normal


Every now and then (approx. once a day) the Emulate3Buttons feature
stops working such that pressing left and right button simultaneously
becomes equivalent to pressing the right button alone. In particular,
pasting with left+right doesn't work anymore.
However, pressing the wheel (=middle button) still gives the desired effect.

Restarting the X server solves the problem temporarily.

Other people seem to observe the same behaviour, but attribute it
to specific X applications, see e.g.
#478478: gnome-terminal: copy/paste using the middle mouse button is broken.

Regards,
   Gernot

Bug#489141: xserver-xorg: X server sometimes refuses local xclients to connect

2008-10-17 Thread Gernot Salzer
Hi,

I want to confirm that I'm experiencing the same problem after a fresh lenny
install:
Occasionally, for an interval of about a minute the xserver seems to block
new connections. X applications started during this time return
messages like

$ xterm
No protocol specified
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0

The same for iceweasel, xcalc etc.

Michael noted that accessing .Xauthority (rather, the home directory)
with ls solves the problem immediately.
Might some NFS-related delays be part of the problem?
At least in my case the home directory is on an nfs-mount.

Gernot

P.S.: I'm not sure which information might be helpful.

Bug#321434: Bug still present in xbase-clients 7.1.ds-3 of etch

2006-09-13 Thread Gernot Salzer
The error described by M.Dietrich in August 2005 is still
present in September 2006 in etch (testing).

Please raise the severity of the error as suggested by
H.Robak in Nov 2005, for exactly the reason he gave.
Using xedit is risky at the moment.

Thanks, Gernot
