Bug#401641: x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession.d doesn't contain a file with exec $STARTUP anymore

2006-12-04 Thread Wilfried Goesgens
Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.1.0-7
Severity: normal

for some reason the file 99xsession-starup or so has vanished during some 
upgrade.
as i don't kill my xsession on a regular basis i can't name when it vanished.

it results in *dm breaking on login. it doesn't show up in the log, it's hard 
to debug.
gdm finaly gave me something into ~/.xsession-errors leading me to that point.

Bug#363680: xserver-xorg-core: default nice value makes xorg behave nasty.

2006-04-20 Thread Wilfried Goesgens
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.0.2-4
Severity: normal

since i've upgraded my sid to xorg (not the transition to 7.0, the first move 
yet)
my system was slow, xmms would stop while changing virtual desktops, firefox 
rendering
pages with shades (bb4.org/hobbitmon.sf.net) would make the system allmost 
unusable.
playing arround with the nice values of the browser, xmms (putting the browser 
to 15, xmms to -12) wouldn't do any better.
_but_ changing the xserver from the package default of -10 to -1 would make the 
system run smooth with firefox and xmms running on 0 nice.
As most of the kernel processes run with nice -5 i doubt that it makes sense to 
sugest users to give their x-server a higher prio than that.
the default for that should be in the range of -1 through -4, -10 is counter 
productive, not to say evil, because of it renders the system disresponsive.

Xfree-4.3 Experimental packages, xlibmesa-glu

2003-08-18 Thread wilfried Goesgens
On the system there are installed 
ii  xlibmesa3-glu  4.2.1-6Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree86]
which aren't superceeded by the 4.3 version ones... 
by now one has to force-remove the old one and install the new one.
I think it's a naming problem because of the 3 in the name of the old
version?

XFree 4.3 experimental packages

2003-08-18 Thread Wilfried Goesgens
* The driver selection dialog is missing Radeon, though
-rw-r--r--1 root root   127544 Aug 18 21:42
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o
exist, and belongs to
 dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o
xserver-xfree86: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o

* The list of available display modes lacks the New W-XGA modes of dell
Notebooks (i.e. 1680x1050)
(pherhaps an add own one selector would be ok?)

* The ability to configure a Second mouse would be apreciatable, as many
notebooks have internal ps/2 mouses, and one wants to hook up an usb
mouse, which would end up in having two devices (/dev/misc/psaux;
/dev/input/mice) to collect mousing stuff from... 
(I think I should have a closer look to that)

* The ability of adding card specific driver stuff would allso be nice, 
  for all the cards supporting TV out, Hardware mousecursoroptions etc.
(I might have a closer look at this too...)

Kind Regards

Re: [Xpert]Re: XFree 4.1-6 crashes on Notebook with ati Grafik card

2002-02-12 Thread Wilfried Goesgens

I've noticed the bug since XFree-4.1 is in woody.
using the ati-module from the XFree-4.0 packages worked it out
for some time, but after the last XFree-uptate it became even worse 
with the last X-Server update. So I've tracked it down to the
WMCPU applet as I reported.
And: no, it doesn't need a WindowMaker to be running to crash
the server, but it might need some libs (the libdockap afaik)

I use actual Debian Woody. 
The GC is a Ati Rage mobility pro.
I've tried the 4.1'er Driver able to display full-screen Video, no change.

I know you've been verry buzy all, but is there a way to apt-get a 
Debug-enabled X-Server?
Or How do I dpkg-buildpagkage ... one?

Xfree 4.1 setup tool...

2001-12-28 Thread Wilfried Goesgens

Hey guys. I know it's not your making, but today 
I tried to use the xf86cfg tool, It's the worst piece
of configuration tool I've ever seen. If no mouse is
found, it renders unusual at all. The old XF86Setup
tool wasn't very polite to use with keyboard, but
it was after all! The system was a fresh installed
(without X) stable, which we upgraded to testing.
(because off packagedependencies did stop us from 
having fonts and X-Servers at once, verry strange..)
Well, now gpm was installed and running, we could
move the mouse-cursor on the console with the touch-pad.
the forwarding was enabled in microsoft mode. 
There was an almost working /etc/X11/XF86Config for 
the Xfree 3* from stable left. 
The xf86cfg started the x-server, but no mouse was
detected correctly. It tried /dev/mouse, which was
a symbolic link to /dev/gpmdata, which, as you might
know by yourself, was a fifo gpm was writing to.

After sereval tries of using the cursor-keys to get the 
mouse working, we gave up and copied the XF86Config-4 
from my notebook, which worked allmost instantly :-)

xf86cfg is pain in the aass!!!

CU, Willi

XFree 4.1-6 crashes on Notebook with ati Grafik card

2001-09-27 Thread Wilfried Goesgens


Hello everybody.
Please excuse me, if I'm wrong here with my problems here and tell me
were to go.
I recently upgraded my woody, and XFree 4.1 fell out of the apt-get.
So far I had no problems with stability, but now I have...

The XFREE-Packages I have now installed have the Version-Tags:
ii  xserver-common 4.1.0-6files and utilities common to all X servers
ii  xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-6the XFree86 X server

The previous ones were:
xserver-xfree86_4.0.3-4_i386.deb

I'll put more about my machine in the first appendix, 
The stuff gdb told me about the crash in the second one.

After i swapped the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ati* with the ones
from the xfree4.0.3 package, the system ran stable again.

If I can provide you more information, please tell me how. 
If there's a way to make gdb more informative, please send
me binaries. (is there a monolitic way for XFree 4?)
