why I can't rebind NumLock to a different key?

2006-01-19 Thread Miernik
Because I want the physical NumLock key to do something else, I have
rebound it with:

keycode 77 = Undo

in .xmodmap

Now I want to bind have NumLock somewhere else, so I thought I'd bind it
to the right "Win" key like this:

keycode 116 = Num_Lock

When I start xev and press the right "win" key, it indeed shows Num_Lock
bound to it. But Num_Lock is not activated (i.e. the LED doesn't light,
and the relevant keys move the cursor instead of typing numbers). What's
wrong?

I don't understand much of this.

In what precentage of systems do you think are the extra cursor themes
and pixmaps (which together take up 60% of this package installed size)
actually used?  5% ?  1% ?

In what precentage of systems do you think is the package xlibs-data
installed?  80% ?  95% ?

I estimate that in about 75% of systems where this package is installed,
the 60% of this package, the 4.3 MB of bitmaps, pixmaps and cursor data
are not used.

So how can you justify including that in a package that anything which
has something to do with X depends on? I don't think there is any merit
in that.

I am not angry that you don't want to fix this bug, because no developer
is obliged to do anything, it'd get done when someone sometime would
feel wanting to do this and supply a patch, maybe even me. But I am
angry that you closed the wish, a wish that wouldn't do anybody any
harm, the burden on packagers would be minimal, would save a
considerable amount of space (packages are beeing split for smaller or
similar space savings: bsdmainutils/bsdutils, gettext-base/gettext), and
you closed it by a one-person decision, even without a futher discussion
and/or waiting for other's opinion on debian-x or the BTS.

Bug#324104: please split off non-essenstial stuff from xlibs-data to a separate package

2005-08-20 Thread Miernik
Package: xlibs-data
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5
Severity: wishlist

xlibs-data contains some things which are essenstial for running most X
programs, while other things in it tka up a lot of space, and are rarely
used. The package takes up almost 7.5 MB of disk space, out of which
4 MB are cursors in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/ (only two or three default
cursors should be in the main package, the rest in xlibs-data-extra for
example), and half a meg of stuff in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/ and
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/ which I don't think I ever use, while I
use X (I use the ion3 window manager). 

libx11-6 package (which I need because GTK+ depends on it) desription
states: "libx11-6 depends on xlibs-data for locale data and the X error
and keysym databases", and these are almost the only things I need from
xlibs-data (+ two or three default cursors). So please leave only that
in xlibs-data, which will make it's installed size about 40% of it's
current installed size, and move the rest to a new package, for example
xlibs-data-extra. 

Please don't tell me that 4 MB is "nothing" in the era of 200 GB hard
drives - people want tu use flash disks as the only filesystem also in
desktop computers, not just embedded (just because of their silentness,
nothing else), and/or put a copy of the whole filesystem in RAM for
speed, and then such a waste of diskpace matters.

please provide a Debian XTerm be compiled with --enable-256-color

2005-08-09 Thread Miernik
I asked for this some time ago in withlist bug #305540 but it was left
without effect. Maybe you guys where too busy with preperaing releasing
sarge then, and/or didn't want to introduce such changes just before
sarge release, but now in the post-sarge era maybe my plea will get some
response.

Could Debian provide an XTerm be compiled with --enable-256-color passed
to ./configure?

ELinks http://elinks.or.cz/download.html is a great textmode
webbrowser, and now it supports 256 color mode, which looks really great
To try it, use my CVS debs from
deb http://ffii.org/~miernik/debian sid main

Or perhaps, because this inscreases the memory usage of xterm, if you
feel that the increase would be significant, and not useful for most
users, Debian could provide two versions of the xterm package, one like
it is now, and a second one for example xterm-256color?

The Debian packages of X are made in such a way, that you cannot compile
only one of them, you have to recompile the whole Xorg set, which is
huge download of sources and takes a really long time, so it's very
difficult for example for me to package xterm with 256 colors enabled
each time a new release of X is done by Debian, which happens quite
often.

Bug#199032: xterm: sometimes stops accepting keyboard input when tethereal is running for a long time over ssh

2003-06-27 Thread Jan 'Miernik' Macek
Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-8
Severity: normal

I am running an UXterm, where I run ssh from bash, and on the other 
machine I run tethereal (from bash too).

It was running like that yesterday and it was OK, I went to sleep, and 
today when I woke up, I foundout that that window does not accept any 
keyboard input.

More precisely: it does not pass any keyboard input to the running 
application. I cannot press +, any characters I press are not 
displayed on the screen. 

But I can scroll the window with + +. 

In my /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm I have:

*VT100*saveLines:   1024
*VT100*scrollTtyOutput: false
*VT100*scrollKey:   false

*VT100.Translations:   #override \n\
ShiftDelete:   clear-saved-lines() \n\
ShiftUp:   scroll-back(4,line) \n\
ShiftDown: scroll-forw(4,line) \n

When I press + it also works correctly, and + 
+ too.

This is not the first time this happened to me, but it does not happen 
often (probably about the 5-th time during the last ~3 months - very 
rough estimate).

I'm still running that UXterm with blocked keyboard input and 
tethereal, so if you have any things you might want me to test, please 
ask. Within a reasonable time of course, like 1 day, but I will try to 
keep that window running as long as I can just in case someone wants 
me to test something.

But in 3-4 days I'm going to travel and this is a notebook, so I'll 
need to power down it.

xterm or rxvt fails to start with 2.5.70 kernel (works OK with 2.5.62-ac1)

2003-06-06 Thread Miernik
Hi, 

I have a wired problem today. I have used the 2.5.62-ac1 kernel until 
today, and decided to give 2.5.70 a go. 

When I booted the 2.5.70 kernel, I can no longer start up an xterm, or rxvt.

I am using the latest sin/unstabled distribution (upgraded fully just 
a while ago). Everything else works fine for me.

The 2.5.62-ac1 was compiled by me manually with 

make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && 
make install

With 2.5.70 I used make-kpkg from kernel-package 8.038
I compiled it on a different machine, but that other machine is also a 
fully upgraded today to sid/unstable.

In http://www.miernik.ctnet.pl/linux/ I have put .config files for 
both kernel compiles, their diff and some info from reportbug on the 
machine that xterm fails to start (but I did NOT file a bug with it, I 
want to hear some comments first, maybe it's just my mistake 
somewhere).

There are no messages in /var/log/xdm.log or XFree86.0.log when 
staring an xterm, and when starting a rxvt there is a

Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)

in /var/log/xdm/XFree86.0.log

I've done "mknod /dev/apm_bios c 10 134" but it didn't help (the Open 
APM failed message is still in the log).

This is all on a Sony Vaio PCG-C1X notebook, and I use ACPI instead of 
APM. I didn't compile apm modules, but I didn't have them in 
2.5.62-ac1 too, and xterm worked OK.

Now when I boot the 2.5.62-ac1 kernel again, xterm works fine. 
When I boot 2.5.70 when I run xterm nothing happens, when I run rxvt, 
there is just a quick white flash on the screen, and nothing more.

My windowmanager is ion-devel 0.0.20030327-2. 

I have tried xterm 4.2.1-6 and rxvt-beta 2.7.8-5. 

I am using devfs. 

thanks,

machine that xterm fails to start (but I did NOT file a bug with it, I 
want to hear some comments first, maybe it's just my mistake 
somewhere).

There are no messages in /var/log/xdm.log or XFree86.0.log when 
staring an xterm, and when starting a rxvt there is a

Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)

in /var/log/xdm/XFree86.0.log

I've done "mknod /dev/apm_bios c 10 134" but it didn't help (the Open 
APM failed message is still in the log).

This is all on a Sony Vaio PCG-C1X notebook, and I use ACPI instead of 
APM. I didn't compile apm modules, but I didn't have them in 
2.5.62-ac1 too, and xterm worked OK.

Now when I boot the 2.5.62-ac1 kernel again, xterm works fine. 
When I boot 2.5.70 when I run xterm nothing happens, when I run rxvt, 
there is just a quick white flash on the screen, and nothing more.

My windowmanager is ion-devel 0.0.20030327-2. 

I have tried xterm 4.2.1-6 and rxvt-beta 2.7.8-5. 

I am using devfs. 

thanks,

Bug#192776: xbase-clients: [xconsole] should put an entry in /etc/devfs/devices.d/ to create /dev/xconsole in devfs systems

2003-05-10 Thread Jan &#x27;Miernik' Macek
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: wishlist

During configuring we should put an file /etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients to 
create /dev/xconsole pipe in devfs systems.

This file may for example look like this:

xconsolep "" "" root adm 0640

I'm not sure if this isthe correct way to do this, but it works for 
me.

But what to do if we first install xbase-clients, and after some time 
switch the system to devfs? Maybe create a 
/etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients file just in case the system will 
be switched to devfs later?

Bug#176834: [S3 86C375 ViRGE/DX] [4.2.x] freeze (Alt-SysRq doesn't work) if raidly switch from vc to X and back

My videocard BIOS is:

S3 86C375 ViRGE/DX BIOS. Version 1.01.03
Date 02/03/98

When I switch from virtual console to X with Alt+F7, and then rapidly
(before it switches and changes the videomode) I try to switch back to
vc, everything gets frozen with a comletely black screen. Alt+SysRq does
not work, CapsLock/NumLock do not work. Even programs running in the
background stop working (I know this because I have a driver for an
external device which inquires a daemon running on PC, and the device
stops working if the daemon does not respond). This happened two times
to me, but I am not able to reproduce it on request. No evidence in log
files, the one included is a clean logfile just to show what my system
is. This did not happen when I was using X 4.1.0. 

BTW: I have issued this report bug with 
reportbug -S normal -b -i /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -i /var/log/XFree86.0.log 
xserver-xfree86
and the two files got included twice, so I deleted the duplicated copies
manually in editor.  Don't know why that happened.
