Bug#622894: xserver-xorg: VT switching does not work.
rununtil you get it sorted out why... there are program(s) to refresh vga text mode / save restore vesa. run it and you'll have your text terminal. note because VT depends on kernel etc you problem might depend on how you start x, not just X drivers or a flaky video card Enno Deimel wrote: Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.6+6 Severity: important VT switching (via Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6]) does not work. When trying to switch, X seems to freeze: no response to kbd, mouse pointer disappears, xclock stops dead. But, in fact the VT has switched, it is just not reflected on video: Can type commands, restart xdm and suchlike, when typing blind. And, when switching "back" to VT7 (via Alt+F7) everything pops back into life. This is the very behaviour I reported before for xserver-xorg 7.3+20 (i386).

Bug#619033: xserver-xorg-video-intel: External screen shakes
but you can set the sync modes before X startup or after - so saying it is UBUNTU's error is wrong. it is Ubuntu's correctness to use the better frequencies maybe VERY NORMAL. I have used vga extended cables or switchbox, but not with that exact card - and using them reduces quality video stability IS very picky / requires a ton of fidelity and bandwidth. thus network cables can't carry video. stability also depends on the monitor's electronics / abilities.

Bug#617969: xserver-xorg-core: Weird behavior/crash with specific usage
You said radeon right? I don't have that but here's some tips. /usr/X11R7/bin/Xorg (that's the name of your "real X server") automatically makes a config (example /etc/X11/Xorg-config-4). What you want is to run Xorg with option to save the config. Editing that config you'll see mouse, keyboard, video card, fonts, etc that X will try to use upon startup. You have to tell Xorg to use the config on startup (because it will try to do it automatic as usual). You'd like to look at someone else's config. You might see 1) your loading modules you might not need 2) your loading modules you don't have 3) how to run in a more basic / stable mode until you get things figured out. You'll have to ask someone else how exactly not to load 3D because I don't use Xorg and I don't have a radeon chipset video card. You might also try: xserver-xorg-video-radeon. And there's also the Debian Alioth website if you haven't found it yet. hammered hammered wrote: >one more thing to try is startup without 3D support (agp / vga only) How do I do that? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I had tried keyboard-configuration. Again, it doesn't get close to the level of flexibility I want. How do I set the Pause key as Compose? I keep doing that with an Xmodmap file, and praying that my way will continue to work. I'm sorry I didn't study that much about keyboard yet, I think setxkbmap is the preferred tool now, but I don't know much about it. At least not more than Xmodmap that I don't use ;) Ian> Go ahead and remove dexconf, better no tool than a totally broken Ian> one, but please consider adding a flexible, transparent and Ian> desktop-independent tool to configure the above. Julien> Doesn't your-favorite-editor and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ fill that Julien> gap ? First, there is no such directory on my system. I see that it is mentioned in the manpage, but without it being created by the package (even if empty) I simply didn't know a split configuration was possible for the X server. It certainly wasn't so in XFree86. I think that's a point, this directory should probably be created. Second, yes, in general and for a random package, I am quite capable of writing a configuration file by hand. The X server is different. Why? Because the hierarchical, bottom-up format of the file forces me to write the entire configuration, reproducing all the defaults even in the parts totally unrelated to what I'm trying to customize. For instance, to modify the synaptics behavior, I cannot simply write a Pointer section and be done. To get it used, I have to have a ServerLayout section, therefore I also need a Screen section, and once I have one I better get all the most obscure settings there right. Well basically this is not true anymore, you can write 'just' the synaptics configuration, as explained in the doc I pointed to you earlier. And even without /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ you can write partial xorg.conf now, with just your synaptics configuration in it for instance. But I guess this need a little more advertising ;) This is the only reason I am begging for a tool to generate the configuration. The availability of xorg.conf.d doesn't seem to change this; correct me if I'm wrong. Julien> My two cents, Thanks for an informative, snark-less reply. Basically there are still more than 500 bugs to triage, so I guess spending time on video drivers bugs is more important than spending time on user missconfiguration... Especially when the time has been spent to write the doc already. But the doc might need some improvements, as always, patches are welcome ;) Hope this helps, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#617969: xserver-xorg-core: Weird behavior/crash with specific usage
my experience with that is you *might* have a memory problem with your video card with the lockup statement included that adds to the possibility that might be so on the other hand I can't see it so you might just need graphics libs needing to be re-installed Best is if you can try a "known good" video card in or with the same system. Alternatively if you can't try a different card maybe you can try known good graphics apps that use the same ammount of video memory and see if there are problems. But that is mostly the same as re-installing. Your not "over clocking" your card are you? That can cause permanent damage. tools that change clock speed have been known to damage and be a pile of bull when it comes to real performance that the card (properly set) did not already have. hammered999 wrote: Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.9.4.901-1 Severity: important First of all, I am not really sure if this is the package that causes the problems described below. I have no other clue on which package is resposible. Secondly, maybe this should be characterized as 'grave'. Furthermore, my problem can manifest in 2 ways, which seem to be random: 1. A vertical strip of the screen(possibly arround 200pixels wide) from the leftmost part of the screen gets mirrored/painted on the rightmost part of the screen. If I just drag my mouse on the rightmost part of the desktop creating a 'selection-rectangle' that portion of the screen gets repainted correctly. This is the less annoying side-effect. The most annoying is this: If this happens under GNOME2.x(from unstable) the ENTIRE system lockups. I cannot even ctrl+alt+f1 to a console. The only thing working is the mouse pointer but I cannot 'click' anything on screen. My only way to reboot is by alt+sysrq+r+s+u+b which sucks. If this happens while using Xfce4.8(from experimental) funnily enough the system doesn't lockup. Everything "works" up until I close the offending window/program(see below on how to reproduce). But (in xfce) if I do ctrl+alt+f1-> "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart" nothing happens. If after that I do a ctrl+alt+f7 the system lockups again. 2. X.org gets automatically restarted and I get presented with a GDM login screen. Needless to say everything that was opened on the desktop is lost. How to reproduce: 1. Use any Gtk program that has a treeview widget with a treestore(eg. exaile, reportbug, dfeet, emesene) or compile an example gtk-treeview(I did to confirm) program. Try to approach the mouse pointer to the "arrow" of the treeview that expands/collapses the rows. The instant the mouse goes over it, one of the above will happen. 2. Launch xterm. It only paints the window and then one of the above happens. 3. Open LibreOffice Writer and go "Help->About". When the new window opens, one of the above happens. The same happens when LibreOffice Writer presents you with a dialog. eg "save/cancel/ignore", "recovering lost work". This may happen with all LibreOffice products. I haven't tested that. -- Package-specific info: X server symlink status: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 20 15:35 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1926304 Mar 7 17:48 /usr/bin/Xorg VGA-compatible devices on PCI bus: -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc R520 [Radeon X1800] [1002:7109] /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d does not exist.

hi I wrote www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/
one reason I've used xdm for so long is that having my environment in
xterm was more important to me than how X got started
I think the C-coded display managers out there don't bother with
/etc/profile or ~/.profile like a login should - but I don't know.
by the way XAUTHORITY may not be an export when you think it is - and
maybe it shouldn't be (reasons omitted)

It's on a standard 1½-year old Dell OptiPlex 780 desktop with a Radeon HD card (one of the standard configurations) and this is on a stock squeeze system. The findings so far seem to suggest this is a Mesa issue; I'd probably file it under "Linux kernel bugs" (or even DoS bugs) but I'm not sure where to properly file such bugs in the post-KMS stack world. If there is a kernel driver involved then it should be assigned to the kernel. Even without KMS, a Mesa driver should be considered untrusted and should not be able to trigger a crash or hang. With KMS, this applies to the X driver too. With or without KMS, the userspace acceleration drivers can certainly cause GPU hangs if the 3D engine is programmed with some combination of commands it doesn't like.

I had *thought* my gnome were installed but infact the libs were not all installed correctly. Was it an installer problem? I don't remember - but the problem had too many details to see in a glance. I would guess someone already asked you to recheck libs. John Hendrickson Johannes Berg wrote: It seems that this problem isn't just confined to libreoffice. I've also had it happen with abiword and gimp now, with no particular special documents/images. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
