Bug#201884: xfree86: Unicode keysyms available as numbers

2003-08-14 Thread Michael Piefel
Package: xfree86
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-14
Followup-For: Bug #201884

My problem has been solved by simply using U2010 in my xmodmap file
instead of a keysym name. I didn't know this style was supported, as the
xmodmap man page doesn't seem to indicate this. That makes it possible
to reach any character under the sky, just not by proper name.

Bye,
Mike

Bug#201884: xfree86: soft hyphen confusion

2003-07-25 Thread Michael Piefel

 As far as I know, XFree86 doesn't yet support Unicode keysyms.

I wonder what the definition for Unicode keysyms would be. While
XFree86 doesn't support all of Unicode (no wonder, that's a little big),
there are many things that are supported, like the symbols under
XK_PUBLISHING (I use doublelowquotemark, for instance), most of which
are not in any ISO-8859-* charset, and are probably also missing from
most others.

The fact that hyphen maps to soft hyphen seems dodgy to me.

Bye,
Mike

Bug#201884: xfree86: soft hyphen confusion

2003-07-18 Thread Michael Piefel
Package: xfree86
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-18
Severity: minor

Not sure which of the many X packages is responsible for this... or
perhaps even locales...

I have the following line in my xmodmap:
keycode  61 = minus underscore endash hyphen

Unfortunately, the letter produced is then U00AD, that is the Latin-1
Soft Hyphen, instead of U2010, the Unicode Hyphen. The keysym name
suggests otherwise, and there is no way I can see to get a hyphen.

Bug#164034: Resolution 1400x1050

2002-10-31 Thread Michael Piefel

 The purpose of this config tool is to get a usable single-head
 configuration going for people who know nothing of the X Window System
 or XFree86.

I see.

For me, that means I'm going to continue using the debconfized X config
the way I already do: Make an initial XF86Config-4, and then edit it by
hand. Actually, that's OK for me, altough it would be nice to get not
only a usable configuration, but the correct/final one.

Mike

...and neither does it support my IBM ThinkPad with a 1400x1050
resolution. Or my 16:9 monitor with 1920x1200 pixels.

As an advanced option, one should be able to enter arbitrary sizes.
