Bug#502313: xorg: Applications are getting "ghost" Alt keypress events, but I press no keys
Package: xorg Version: 1:7.3+17 Severity: important All my applications are getting KeyPress and KeyRelease events for the Alt key every 20 seconds or so, but I am not pressing any keys. This is not such a big deal for Gnome applications since they don't do anything when only Alt is pressed, but it makes working with KDE applications and OpenOffice.org almost impossible, since they focus/open the "file" menu when you press and release Alt. I am sure that I am not accidentally generating keypresses myself. I have tested with Xev to monitor the events, and at the same time I have ran evtest, showkey and catted the output of /dev/input/event[0-9]. They all say that nobody is pressing any keys, but Xev still sees KeyPress and KeyRelease events going to the window in focus. Also, those events happen in the same microsecond and it's not physically possible to press and release a key in the same microsecond. To make extra sure that it's not a hardware problem I have tested three different keyboards: Two different Dell USB keyboards and a Logitech PS/2 keyboard. This problem occured with all keyboards. I'm marking this as "important" since it makes KDE applications and all of OpenOffice.org pretty much unusable. Below is the output of both xev and evtest at the same time. I have placed comments inside then, prefixed by a #. As you can see, xev sees keypresses from my Alt key, but evtest sees no such keypresses on my keyboard. Output from evtest: # This is the return key I pressed at the end of the evtest command Event: time 1223560917.470807, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70028 Event: time 1223560917.470822, type 1 (Key), code 28 (Enter), value 0 Event: time 1223560917.470827, -- Report Sync # Here I press the return key after the xev command Event: time 1223560925.727112, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70028 Event: time 1223560925.727128, type 1 (Key), code 28 (Enter), value 1 Event: time 1223560925.727131, -- Report Sync # Here I release the Return key Event: time 1223560925.791107, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70028 Event: time 1223560925.791117, type 1 (Key), code 28 (Enter), value 0 Event: time 1223560925.791120, -- Report Sync # Here I press the Alt key manually Event: time 1223560933.551375, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 700e2 Event: time 1223560933.551390, type 1 (Key), code 56 (LeftAlt), value 1 Event: time 1223560933.551396, -- Report Sync # And I release it again Event: time 1223560933.591374, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 700e2 Event: time 1223560933.591390, type 1 (Key), code 56 (LeftAlt), value 0 Event: time 1223560933.591395, -- Report Sync # These two events are Ctrl+C to stop evtest Event: time 1223560994.921512, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 700e0 Event: time 1223560995.601624, type 1 (Key), code 29 (LeftControl), value 2 Event: time 1223560995.601630, -- Report Sync Event: time 1223560995.617513, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70006 Event: time 1223560995.617522, type 1 (Key), code 46 (C), value 1 Event: time 1223560995.617525, -- Report Sync Below is the output from xev, at the exact same time as the evtest was run: # I manually press Alt, just to test KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3e1, root 0x7f, subw 0x0, time 23255142, (829,-42), root:(839,23), state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False # I release Alt again KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3e1, root 0x7f, subw 0x0, time 23255195, (829,-42), root:(839,23), state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False # This is a "ghost" Alt keypress.

I have been running with framebuffer compression off for a week now, and that seems to solve the problem. If the intel driver can't be patched to solve this with the bugfix from 2.4.0, is it possible to change the X.org installation/configuration in such a way that when the intel driver is used, framebuffer compression is turned off by default? At least that would provide a usable system out of the box, instead of a frequently crashing system. -- Sander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#484087: Can't install driver 2.4.0
Brice Goglin writes: Sander Marechal wrote: marvin:/home/sander# apt-get -t experimental install Nothing wrong here. The 2.4.0 driver from experimental has been built for the Xserver 1.4.99 from experimental, which cannot work with drivers from unstable. So either you upgrade most X packages to experimental (they work very well here, by the way), or you just stick everything with from unstable. Is the X from experimental packaged in fewer packages? Or is there so much missing? My apt is removing far more packages than it is installing or updating. See above. You mean that this bug won't be fixed in Lenny? A bug that causes instability, loss of work and requires daily reboots because X dies? I'd say that this bug be marked RC. Switching to XAA is supposed to work around the problem. It does not. See my xorg.conf files above. I'm already using XAA because EXA was too slow for my taste. We have very few testers of 2.4.0 so far, and there's a least one big known bug (fixed soon fortunately). We can't just put 2.4.0 in Lenny so late, it may be too risky. 2.3.2 works fine except in some cases with EXA, and we have a workaround for these. It's not just an EXA case. See above. The bugreport on http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16169 has a git commit ID attached. Perhaps the bugfix can be backported to 2.3.2? IMHO you can't ship Lenny with this bug in it. It causes dataloss and requires a reboot multiple times a day. There are much less serious bugs that have been marked Release Critical. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#484087: Can't install driver 2.4.0
I tried installing the 2.4.0 driver from experimental, but I can't make it work. It wants to upgrade my xserver-xorg-core and when it tries to do that, apt wants to remove a bucketload of xorg packages. Any idea when driver 2.4.0 and xserver-xorg-core 1.4.999 (or 1.5) will get into unstable or testing? Currently I'm still running the vesa driver so I can get work done instead of rebooting all the time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#484087: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Frequent screen flashes and occasional persistent blank screen
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.3.1-1 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss My screen flashes strangely all the time. The flashes happen about once every 10 minutes or so. It is as if my entire screen jumps away for a split-second, then returns. Or as if some other screen is shown for just a frame. At first I thought it was my monitor but changing monitors made no difference. Beside, I never had this problem under Etch and the problem started as soon as I upgraded to Lenny, 4 weeks ago. Occasionally, the screen simply jumps to black. It can happen at any time. When the xscreensaver is running, when I start AbiWord or gedit, or when I'm doing nothing at all. When this happens, I cannot get a working desktop back. My problem appears similar to two existing bug reports, but differs from them in some way, so I thought I'd file this as a separate bug. The similar bugs are: 1) #470249: The submitter of that bug mentions that he can't even get a console up and running with Ctrl+Alt+F1 but that he can still type commands blindly. I however am able to get a working console on Ctrl+Alt+F1. I am submitting this bug from the console right now. The logfiles that reportbug attaches are the logfiles from the blanked-out X session. 2) #483206: This submitter's problems started with xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2.3.1. My problems started when I upgraded from Etch to Lenny four weeks ago. Back then, the video-intel version was below 2.3.1 (IIRC it was 2.2.something). Symptoms: * After X blanks out, none of the logfiles show anything. Xorg.0.log (attached) show nothing I can relate to the blanking. Other system logs in /var/log don't show anything either. ~/.xsession-errors doesn't show anything related either. * When I run Compiz instead of Metacity I don't see the flashes as much, but X can still blank out unexpectedly. This may have something to do with the desktop v.s. workspace implementation between the two. * The flashes and blank out happens in Metacity with the composite extension enabled as well as disabled. * The number of open applications or the type of applications does not seem to matter. Sometimes I have nothing running. Sometimes I have 25+ open windows. Sometimes system load is heavy and at other times it's next-to-nothing. * When I go to the console, become root and execute "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" then X is not restored. My screen switches to the display on Ctrl+Alt+F7 but the same blank screen is show. I need to reboot in order to get X back up and working. After this bug-report has been filed, I will execute a "gdm restart" and use reportbug to attach another comment to this bug, giving you the Xorg.0.log from the gdm restart. * When I was using the 2.2.something version of xserver-xorg-video-intel the blank screen happend daily, sometimes twice a day. With the current version it happens less often. About once every 2-3 days. The annoying screen flashes still occur as often as in the beginning though. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

Brice Goglin writes: xrandr will display the current and available modes and status of all outputs. Thanks. Attached is a txt file that contains the xrandr output after four different boots. The first one is with 19" CTX connected, the second one without an external monitor, the third one with the 17" Dell connected and the fourth one is with the CTX again, but now it booted with the lid opened. That last one was very "interesting" to watch. POST and initial boot appeared only on the internal monitor. Then gdm started and I got the login screen on both monitors. The login screen was 1280x1024 and on the internal display it had a flat blue color to the right and bottom (in the extra 120 and 26 pixel wide edges). When I logged in, the desktop appeared in 1280x1024 and the internal monitor went black. I now only see my desktop on the external monitor.

Bug#478836: The substrate screensaver has the same problem
Hello, It looks like the "substrate" screensaver in xscreensaver has the same problem. It runs for about 10-20 seconds and then it freezes my entire system. At first I could go to the console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and kill substrate from there, but later on even that would not work. I had to raise a bunch of skinny elephants to get my system back under control. As the bug submitter mentioned, everything works like a charm under metacity. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#483314: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Different monitor: different results
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.3.1-1 Followup-For: Bug #483314 Apparently the bevaviour isn't coherent after all. I have changed my monitor for a 19" CTX X962A. It's maximum resolution is also 1280x1024, just like the 17" Dell monitor. However, when I boot my laptop with the lid closed and the monitor attached, X.org disables my internal monitor and I do get a 1280x1024 desktop. Why does it work correctly with this monitor but not with the 17" Dell? Also, because the Fn+F8 doesn't work, I can't undock my laptop and get my internal display working. I realize I can switch it manually with randr before I undock, but under Etch this scenario "just worked" See logfiles and configfiles below that were added by reportbug. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

Perhaps not, but hooking a regular 4:3 monitor to a laptop with a closed lid, then booting is a fairly common use case I think. It describes a large class of user who take a laptop to work, put it in a docking station and boot.

Fn+F8 used to work under Etch but now it does nothing. If it was purely hardware and firmware then Lenny shouldn't be able to prevent the key combo from working, right?

Bug#483314: xserver-xorg-video-intel: [945GM] Wrong resolution used for external monitor
Julien Cristau writes: Your desktop is 1400x1050, because that's the dimension of the biggest connected output. I just opened my lid and indeed, my laptop screen is on and shows the desktop. So this is expected then. Note that my laptop lid is closed. You can tell X (through xrandr) to turn off the LVDS before closing the lid, manually or using a script. Then the desktop will be resized to the dimension of the other output. I think the bug may be the switching between internal and external monitor then. Under Etch, when I started my laptop with the lid closed, the desktop would be 1280x1024. When I openend my lid, the internal display would be off. I was able to switch between internal monitor and external monitor with the function keys (on my Dell, it's Fn+F8 and reads "CRT/LCD"). It seems that when I boot the laptop with the lid closed under Lenny, the internal monitor is still working. And my Fn+F8 key doesn't work anymore to switch between the displays. Is this also a bug in Xorg somewhere? Any idea where I should reassign this to? Thanks in advance, -- Sander Marechal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

When I hook up an external monitor (A bog standard Dell 17" TFT, model no. 1704FPTt) then the intel driver correctly detects that it has a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 (according to Xorg.0.log, see attachment) but X still seems to start a 1400x1050 display. I'm not sure what the problem is here. The internal panel and the external monitor are both enabled, according to the log the panel uses 1400x1050 and the external monitor 1280x1024. What behaviour did you expect instead? You can disable the internal screen with xrandr --output LVDS --off, but by default all connected outputs are enabled. The problem is that the external monitor also seems to be running 1400x1050, but I only see the top-left 1280x1024 part of it. I can move my mouse in the parts between 1280 and 1400 horizontal, and between the 1024 and 1050 vertical. The mouse cursor disappears, but it's definitely there, because it takes time to scroll back. When I maximize an application, it becomes 1400 pixels wide and 1050 pixels (minus the height of the gnome-panel) high. That means I don't see the minimize/maximize/close buttons. They're off-screen. When iceweasel is maximized, I don't see the statusbar at the bottom. It falls behind the gnome-panel.
