Bug#666876: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: Scrolling too fast *sometimes* stucks the X server
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 1.5.99.901-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I'm using a Asus eeePC 701 "4G" which has a weird behavior since several weeks now: sometimes (not always), if I scroll too fast using the right scrolling feature of my touchpad, the displa freezes for several seconds (from 3 to 30+), where I can't do anything (the mouse cursor doesn't move anymore, the keyboard doesn't answer, etc.), then everything seems to get back as usual. Sometime, I can continue to work, as everything seems to work, but other times, I have to restart completely my X session: the cursor doesn't reply to left or right click, even the keboard seems to be unresponsive. My window manager (awesome) seems to suffer the most from this problem, since most of keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore after this problem occurs. I'm not sure if I can reproduce the problem at will, but scrolling "really fast" in my web browser seems to be a good way to make it crash. I replaced the Xorg.log below by the one I had with the problem in the synaptics driver. I can provide more information if needed, although I'm not sure *how* to provide such information - feel free to point me out to some documentation. -- Package-specific info: X server symlink status: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 9 2008 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2044072 Mar 5 11:21 /usr/bin/Xorg VGA-compatible devices on PCI bus: -- 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 04) Xorg X server configuration file status: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 631 Feb 21 18:04 /etc/X11/xorg.conf Contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf: --- Section "InputDevice" Identifier "synaptics" Driver "synaptics" # Activate tap-to-click Option "MaxTapTime""180" Option "TapButton1""1" #Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75" # Activate Horizontal scrolling Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on" # Activate SHM config to modify/monitor from running X Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Xandros" InputDevice"synaptics" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontVTSwitch" "off" Option "DontZap" "off" EndSection /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d does not exist.

Bug#651915: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Panning broken on 915GM
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.17.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I'm using a Asus eeePC 701 which has a native resolution of 800x480. I wish to be able to pan the screen to something bigger sometimes, like 1024x768, using "xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x768" Since several months (I can't remember when though), panning which is used to work as expected with the previous command is now behaving strangely: although it seems the screen gets bigger (application have more room and the right and the bottom), I can't pan the screen using the mouse as before. When I moved to the side of the screen, it moves at most for about 1 pixel and that's all. So I can't see the portions of the windows which are out of the screen. This used to work 5 or 6 months ago, with xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.15.0-3 I guess (I'm not sure however).

Bug#448863: Can't install xserver-xorg package (postinst error)
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+3
Severity: important
Hi,
I just tried to reinstall a system from scratch, but I cannot install Xorg
server,
since the postinst script failed with an error code 10.
I added "set -x" at the top of /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.postinst to see
what's
happening, and it seems there's a problem with debconf.
However, I lack knowledge on how to fix this. So, currently, Xorg is unusable
for me :(
You can find the output of the postinst script attached to this report.
Thanks,
- Jonathan
