Thanks!

That fixed my install.

These leftover packages just happen, Debian unstable is too good to 
survive for years and years just doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" and 
"apt-get autoremove" without any reinstalls, even when moving to new 
hardware I just restore a backup of the older machine there ;)

Bug#762978: xterm: On-Click selection now selects random ares, not things under the cursor

2014-09-26 Thread Sven-Haegar Koch
Package: xterm
Version: 311-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since the last xterm update (311) selection on click/doubleclick
does not work correctly anymore.

I am using the following ~/.Xresources settings since years which always
worked correctly, until now:

XTerm*on2Clicks:  regex [^/@ \n]+
XTerm*on3Clicks:  regex [^ \n]+
XTerm*on4Clicks:  regex [^#$]+
XTerm*on5Clicks:  line

For example of the missbehaviour:

Line:  haegar@aurora:~$ less .Xresources
Double click on .Xresources:
Selection expected:  ^^^
Selection now: ^
Double click on less:
Selection expected: 
Selection now:   ^^^

(Yes, it now selects .Xresources, if I click on the word before)

Greetings
Haegar

  hmm - H.Merijn Brand had a similar comment last weekend (did not mention
  regex), but I was not able to reproduce his report.
  
  With regex, I did fix an error - which may have introduced a different bug.
  (will investigate/fix/etc).
 
 I'll put out a #312 this weekend (want to check on a different report).
 Here is the fix for this problem:

Thank You!

I confirm this patch fixes my problem.

Took the xterm 311 package source, added the patch to debian/patches, 
rebuilt package, installed, xterm restarted - works.

 I've pushed to
 git://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/jcristau/linux 3.2.y+drm3.4.y
 a backport of the drm subsystem from 3.4.y to the 3.2.y kernel.  It
 works for me so far on a box with intel gm45 graphics, but the only
 other hardware I have is an old intel 945gm, so I'd appreciate testing
 by others.  In particular I'd be interested in regression (or not)
 reports for systems where the current sid kernel works fine, and testing
 on newer hardware that is not (or not so well) supported in sid right
 now.

Wouldn't it make sense to use the new compat-drivers stuff for this 
instead of a seperate backporting effort (aka formerly compat-wireless)?

https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
http://www.do-not-panic.com/2012/08/automatically-backporting-linux-kernel.html

The linux-next-based snapshots already contain support for the DRM 
subsystem.

 xserver-xorg-video-radeon is depending on packages, that shouldn't be

These dependencies are only for specific architectures which need them.

 when it comes to modeprobe (kms) the screen goes away (but the system

I had the same problem with my old Thinkpad T60, adding fbcon to

 Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
 Version: 1:1.3.2-2
 Severity: important

 I wanted to upgrade my amd64 desktop (with the radeon driver) to xorg
 from experimental. After the upgrade and starting KDE4 my keyboard
 layout was not set properly anymore (english instead if german). Playing
 with my configuration (enabling and disabling those settings) does not
 have any effect.
 There wasn't also anything interesting about this in the xorg.log.

I just had the same thing - I am using X.org from unstable, but used 
kde 4.2.1 from experimental, everything was as expected - but with the 
update to kde 4.2.2 in unstable kde took over my keyboard settings from 
X.org.

I have the following keyboard part in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section InputDevice
Identifier  Generic Keyboard
Driver  keyboard
Option  CoreKeyboard
Option  XkbRules  xorg
Option  XkbModel  pc105
Option  XkbLayout de
Option  XkbVariantnodeadkeys
Option  AutoRepeat250 30
EndSection


Now KDE has under it's System Settings-RegionalLanguage a Keyboard 
Layout setting, where only a USA setup was defined.

After adding a german part there everything works as expected again.

It seems the kde settings now generate a setxkbmap command which gets 
executed at kde startup and overwrites the keyboard settings of the 
xorg.conf.

So I think this is no bug of xserver-xorg-input-kbd but of an (for me)
unknown KDE package which does not take the correct defaults.

I am currently not using the VESA driver on any of my machines, so I cant

So perhaps just go ahead and close this bug, if someone else happens to

thanks. I understand the report, but the specific item that you pointed

The case that I've been investigating might be related (or I might simply
not see it due to different resource settings).  It might be helpful to
see what appres XTerm (or the xrdb output), so I can check that.

Interestingly X itself doesn't print any error why it couldnt

IMHO this should be fixed to, to avoid problems during and after

Please check if your /etc/X11/X symlink points to /bin/true - for me this
