Bug#463159: reassigning

2008-01-29 Thread Joe Drew
reassign 463159 libxcb1 1.1-1
forwarded 463159 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528
thanks

This bug is actually in libxcb1, not libx11-6. (Although I'm willing to
be proven wrong, and that it's some *interaction* between libx11 and
libxcb that's causing it.)

Bug#463159: XCB-enabled libx11 causes hangs in various X clients

2008-01-29 Thread Joe Drew
Package: libx11-6
Version: 2:1.1.3-1
Severity: critical

This is only 'critical' because it causes unrelated software (e.g., Side
Effects Software's Houdini) to break by causing hangs. Feel free to
downgrade, but this is a very important bug to me, at least.

This is also reported upstream:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528

Simply upgrading to a XCB-enabled libx11 build causes clients to start
hanging inside _XReply. There is a bunch of analysis at
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2007-August/002961.html too.

To reproduce, download a build of Houdini 9.0 from www.sidefx.com and
run it. You will see various hangs almost immediately upon running
'houdini'.

I can help with all manner of debugging; I just don't understand X (and
in particular, libx11 and XCB) enough to do this myself.

Bug#363436: xbase-clients fonts

2006-04-27 Thread Joe Drew
The 'unable to load usable ISO8859 font' problem is not isolated to
xmessage; programs such as xfontsel can't find fonts either.

The funny part is that there are lots of iso8559 fonts available:

$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*' | wc -l
2918
$ xfontsel -pattern '-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*'
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font

Bug#319048: After some time, cannot open new clients (Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached)

2005-07-19 Thread Joe Drew
Package: xlibs
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important

Ever since I upgraded to xorg, after a certain amount of time (a few
days), I get the following error every time I try to open another
program:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached

It's possible that some other program is trying to open too many
connections, but I have no idea what that might be. Any help in
debugging this would be appreciated!

Bug#318294: leaves /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*xfree86-common* files lying around

2005-07-14 Thread Joe Drew
Package: x11-common
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal

When I installed x11-common, even though xfree86-common was removed, the
files /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*xfree86-common* files (whose contents, I
assume, are duplicated in *x11-common*) were left lying around. This
resulted in the very strange situation of two ssh-agents running (one
ssh-agent running another, which finally ran the xsession).

Bug#221570: debconf chooses wrong resolution at High priority

2003-11-18 Thread Joe Drew
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-14
Severity: important

On my iBook with my debconf priority set to High, I got the option to
set my highest resolution supported (via the medium-complexity modeline
selector), but the default for resolutions to be used by X was set to
800x600 and 640x480, not including 1024x768 (which is all my iBook
supports). Since my priority was set to High, I couldn't add 1024x768 to
this and I got a useless screen until manually running dpkg-reconfigure.






Bug#178210: X server no longer starts: "no symbols found"

2003-01-24 Thread Joe Drew
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: important
Tags: sid

Once I'd upgraded to this version of X (without changing the previously-working
configuration at all), it no longer starts, seemingly because of some
modules which are missing or strangely compiled (?).

The full log is included below, and after looking through it I'm not so
sure the 'no symbols found' issue is even related.

However, simply upgrading X broke it for me.

Voodoo 5 (tdfx) at 24 bpp and dexter

2000-10-19 Thread Joe Drew
I've got a Voodoo 5, and dexter defaults to 24 bpp for the tdfx driver,
which doesn't agree with the driver (I don't think it properly supports
anything but 16 bpp at the moment) so I get pretty much nothing but garbage
until I change DefaultDepth to 16 rather than 24. I think this might be
a reasonable default, at least for tdfx.

Also, somewhat off-topic: Has 3dfx sync'ed their trees for XF86 (ie: the
X server on linux.3dfx.com) with the Xfree4 tree? I notice some jittering
in 3d games, etc, and lack of performance, which isn't present in their
XFCOM server.

sessreg not included in xbase-clients 4.0.1-0phase2v13

2000-10-04 Thread Joe Drew
For a while, I was seeing a mysterious inability for gdm to log in, and
finally tracked it down to its /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default script,
which calls /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg. This is present in the woody version
of X, but not in the new packages. Is this a bug in gdm, the new X packages,
or has it moved to a new package from xbase-clients?
