 any news? Maybe better with 2.6.39?
 
 Mraw,
 KiBi.

KiBi,

Yeah, it's still there but *really* minor.  I actually only see it in
Iceweasel now...and only on the about:home page.  In fact, it might
actually be an Iceweasel bug.

Either way feel free to close.

Thanks,

Bug#586590: compiz: crash to metacity when tooltip is larger than width of screen

2010-06-20 Thread Nathan A. Stine
Package: compiz
Version: 0.8.4-4
Severity: normal

When looking through old chat logs in pidgin, I found that compiz will crash if
mousing over a very large link.  When mousing over, a tooltip appears which is
wider than my screen resolution.  At this point compiz crashes and falls back
to metacity.

I was hoping to provide a backtrace, but after the crash gdb tells me that
compiz is starting metacity and shows no segfault or other useful data.

My screen resolution is 1920x1200, and I'm using Intel 945G graphics.

Please let me know anything else I can do to assist.

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine

Bug#567829: 2.6.33 is available in experimental

2010-03-12 Thread Nathan A. Stine
Brice (and others),

Now that 2.6.33 is available in experimental, would it be possible to
get 2.10 in experimental as well?  Or perhaps we might even get a crack
at 2.10.901 since it looks like 2.11 will be released in about a month
(going by previous release deadlines).

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine

I had an idea to try XAA and that works very well...

I was under the impression that EXA was the way to go on R300s and up.

Bug#496519: compiz: More on 496519

2009-01-16 Thread Nathan A. Stine
Package: compiz
Version: 0.7.6-7
Followup-For: Bug #496519

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I tried to investigate further with this compiz issue.  I bypassed the 
compiz script and tried to directly run compiz.real:

stiner...@stine-1:~$ compiz.real --replace --ignore-desktop-hints glib 
gconf

compiz.real (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz.real (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

However,

stiner...@stine-1:~$ glxinfo | grep GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, 
GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap

Something is amiss here.

This is on an up-to-date Sid, using radeon (not fglrx), on a Radeon 
9600XT.  The same error message occurs if I run using 
- --indirect-rendering.

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine

  It seems that #445100 has reared it's ugly head again. I've found the
  same bug in 7.3+10.  The error cropped up after this package (and other 
  X-related packages) got to Lenny on May 5.  Mucking with vga mode settings 
  in grub haven't helped.  I've also found that using the vesa driver 
  instead of radeon don't help either, so I assume something is screwy
  with X rather than the driver.
 
 from your log:
 
  (WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
 
 this explains why ctrl-alt-fn doesn't work, and is probably due to a
 configuration issue.  If you can find out why xkbcomp fails you'll
 probably be able to fix this.
 
 Cheers,
 Julien

Julien,

After some more Google searching, I found that something was weird with
xlibs-data/x11-kbd-utils.  The latter didn't have anything installed
in /usr/bin for me.  A reinstall put the proper binaries in the folder.
xkbcomp failed because it didn't exist on my system :-).

Another user had similar problems, which seem to be related to the
deprecation of xlibs-data[1].  Perhaps there is something amiss there.

In any case, my issue is resolved.

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine

Bug#435694: xserver-xorg-video-ati: GATOS relicensed under MIT

2007-08-02 Thread Nathan A. Stine
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The folks that develop GATOS have agreed to relicense their software 
under the MIT license[1].  This means that upstream will likely merge 
this code into mainline Xorg.

A patch[2] already exists for 6.6.3.  Another for 6.6.191[3], which 
should be adaptable to 6.6.192, the current version in experimental.  

I would appreciate patching 6.6.3, but understand if you want to keep 
this patch out of testing/unstable.

 I've been following upstream discussion about this. It looks like the
 patch is being looked at, ported to new boards, probably needs some
 changes for randr-1.2, ... So a better version of the patch might get
 merged upstream in the near future. We are probably going to wait a bit
 instead of applying it ourself right now.
 
 People lived with this patch outside of Debian for several years
 already, they probably can wait a couple month again :) Once ati driver
 6.7 is released upstream, we'll push it to unstable and might put the
 randr-1.2 branch in experimental quickly. The gatos might be merged 
 upstream soon at this point.
 
 Brice
 

Fair enough, Brice.  I need to learn how to patch/build debian packages
anyway.  This might give me the proper motivation to do so.

Nathan A. Stine
