Bug#628089: modifying brightness with xbacklight result in fast anarchic brightness changes

It may be a bug in the samsung backlight kernel driver though. Does the same sort of stuff happen if you change brightness using /sys/class/backlight/samsung/brightness directly? Does it still happen with a newer kernel? Cheers, Julien Sorry for my late answer, I tried to change the brightness using /sys/class/backlight/samsung/brightness directly and it works fine, although if I install gnome-power-manager I can change the brightness without any problems. About the kernel : I'm using the linux-image-686-pae package (actual version is 3.0.0-1) should I try with a more recent one? (I've never compile a kernel before). Furthermore it works fine with xbacklight in squeeze with the 2.6.32-5 686 kernel. Cheers, Adrien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Package: xserver-xorg-input-mouse Version: 1:1.2.3-2 Severity: normal not sure if this is same or different from 461152. shortly after i upgraded xserver-xorg-input-mouse to unstable, the mouse started occasionally being very sluggish to the point of near-unusability. a few days before that, i upgraded xserver-xorg-core and x11-common, so i do not know for sure that it is the mouse driver. but it is almost certainly one of those three. new information: 1. i use xset m 1/2 because the mouse is far too fast normally. however, this does not fix it. 2. i have a tyan tiger motherboard with dual athlon mp. this link suggests that it might be relevant: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100165 . 3. a busy system makes it worse. i do not know if this is a cpu thing or a bus thing, or what. usb wireless mouse, fresh batteries, excellent reception, never any problem. thanks. p.s. previous reportbug claimed success, but it did not post? -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

Bug#372079: xserver-xorg-video-mga: can i help?
Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga Followup-For: Bug #372079 i have been using the linux console for a while now. i tried downgrading to xfree86, but that broke the package manager (signal 11, baby). i'm hoping i won't have to install sarge or even ubuntu (to see if they have a solution for g550 dvi). so is there anything i can do to provide information to help with this? i note that the severity was downgraded, but i don't know why. it would help if i knew a little more about the status of this driver so that i could decide whether to steal drivers from ubuntu, tweak a few settings, etc. thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16myver Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#372079: xserver-xorg-video-mga: strange frequency behavior with dvi
Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga Version: 1:1.2.1.3.dfsg.1-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable i just upgraded from xfree86 4.2 to xorg 7.0. this driver seems to output frequencies that are out of range for the monitor when the monitor's documented ranges are entered in the horizsync line. the documented ranges worked perfectly with 4.2, although that was probably using matrox's proprietary driver. when the horizsync line is reduced to a narrow range of frequencies, there are strange -dpi and font behaviors. everything is ugly and many things are not resizable by -dpi and far too large. for example, gkrellm is too large and unaffected by the -dpi option to the x server. small fonts are impossible to read in most cases, even when the font path is identical to 4.2. strangely, i don't think i changed xfs at all. xorg.conf is the same as xf86config-4 was otherwise. configuring via debconf and via mgapdesk result in the same behaviors. it's possible that some of these are software changes in the way x works since 4.2 and have nothing to do with the frequency issue or even the driver. i have no idea whether frequency changes or the driver are the cause or not. i arrived at the narrow range by trial and error. card=g550 output=dvi monitor=sony lcd HorizSync35.0 - 38.0 #far narrower than the monitor supports VertRefresh 52.0 - 60.0 i will provide xorg.conf, x server logs, monitor specs, or any other data -- just ask. i don't know which would be helpful and don't want to clutter the bug report with non-useful data. thanks. p.s. severity set to grave because i'm not sure which of the following i should do. i cannot use the driver as it is now. if this is incorrect, please reassign. o downgrade to xfree86 o try to fix bugs o reinstall etch o try to install proprietary drivers o replace card all are undesirable, but if i can help fix the bug by working around it and providing data to the people working on the driver, i will. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16myver Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-mga depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2-8 X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-video-mga recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#372067: xserver-xorg-video-mga: Please explicitly say in the package description and man page what the driver is capable of
Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga Version: 1:1.2.1.3.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal I have not been able to determine whether this package is *supposed* to work with DVI output on a Matrox G550 card. Does regular single-head DVI operation require special Matrox modules? It would be splendid if the package description would say whether it is supposed to provide basic DVI functionality or not. The strategy of just trying it does not work in my case because xorg is not working for me. I get signal out of range even with correctly specified frequency ranges, and even with a bizarre extremely narrow range of frequencies, X launches but has strange non-resizing -dpi and extremely ugly font behavior. (Perhaps it should be obvious to me whether this means the card is working.) The man page is unclear. It says "The second head of dual-head cards is supported for the G450 and G550" which implies that DVI works unless there are dual VGA versions of those cards. But then it says "[t]hat module ... may be necessary to use the DVI (digital) output on the G550 " which implies that it might or might not work, and doesn't say when it might and when it might not. When might it? The xorg web sites don't seem to say (there is a broken link), and the Matrox forums are hideously complicated on the point due to various versions of xorg and Matrox modules and people who are overclocking and using special DRI thingies for gaming. What's a person who just wants basic functionality to do? So a package description that simply states whether it is supposed to work or not (and thus whether the user needs to go on a wild goose chase getting Matrox's unsupported proprietary closed-source black-box obviously non-dfsg modules to work) would be great. A hint on what to do if you need the proprietary driver would be beyond great, somewhere in the fantastic to superlative range. (I am unsure whether to downgrade to Sarge xfree86 or earlier, forge ahead fixing xorg, figure out how to use the proprietary driver, reinstall etch, or replace my card. Guidance from the package description and man page would simplify those choices.) If the driver is slowly picking away at the closed-source, kind of working and kind of not but expected to improve and would users please report bugs -- that sort of thing -- that would be good to mention.
