[gentoo-user] Xt error: Can't open display: :1
Hi, for years I've been running a multiple monitor setup based on two screens, on a few different machines. Recently, I can not say exactly when but after system upgrades, I am unable to open windows on the secondary monitor. At first I thought this was related to ati-drivers as they cause lots of issues anyway but today I got the same problem with another machine running nvidia-drivers. In the console (running X) all I see is: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :1 However, by starting a terminal at :0 and address the other monitor as :0.1 (which is the correct name) I can start a terminal and from there start everything. But that is quite inconvenient. I don't really know how to debug this as there is so many different factors involved, so got any clue on how to solve this? In both cases I upgraded the system in one go, so I cant pinpoint a specific version of any package without downgrading one at a time. Xorg is setup as following: 2 monitors, 2 cards (multihead), 2 screens and serverlayout setting the layout of the monitors. As window manager I am using fluxbox. # emerge -pvq fluxbox xorg-x11 xorg-server nvidia-drivers [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.2.901 USE="ipv6 nptl udev xorg -dmx -doc -kdrive -minimal -static-libs -tslib" [ebuild R ] x11-wm/fluxbox-1.1.1-r2 USE="imlib nls slit toolbar truetype -gnome -newmousefocus -vim-syntax -xinerama" [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1 [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.21 USE="(multilib) -acpi -custom-cflags -gtk" So, any ideas?

To further investigate the problem I used genlop and a small pythonscript to mask all packages recently updated. I found that downgrading from x11-libs/libX11-1.4.0 to x11-libs/libX11-1.3.6 resolves the issue. Still no idea why it stops working thought.
Re: [gentoo-user] emacs and asian languages
Citerar "David Relson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm using emacs.22.1 and it's having trouble displaying asian languages, specifically chinese and korean. From the menus, using Options//Mule//ShowMultiLingualText, displays Japanese correctly but shows boxes for Chinese and Korean characters. Similarly, I've got a HelloWorld.java program that displays "Hello World" in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This file displays perfectly using Eclipse. Emacs displays the japanese characters without any problem. 4 of the 5 chinese characters are displayed properly, with the 5th showing as a box. All 8 korean characters show up as boxes. FWIW, the strings show up properly in my mail reader (Claws-Mail). The strings are: zh: "" ja: "_" ko: " __" Can anybody identfy what's wrong and point me toward a solution? Thanks. David This sounds like a font issue to me. Can you see the characters correctly if you cat the files?

Hi David, Using a Gnome terminal and the default character set "Current Local Ansi_X3.4-1968" all the asian characters are bad. Using "Unicode (UTF-8)" all look good. So cat'ing _does_ work properly. On the plus side, being able to display correctly in (1) a Gnome terminal and (2) in Eclipse's source code window (which uses "Monospace") and (3) in a Claws-Mail window indicates that all needed fonts are available. On the minus side, e experiments to change emacs' mule encoding to ascii, chinese, and utf-8 don't seem to have any effect :-< And in an emacs *shell* window (with "mule...set UTF-8", the strings show up like: String sh = "zh: \344\270\226\347\225u"\345\245\275"; which interprets as the octal codes corresponding to UTF-8 char. David I assume you are using xemacs, does it work if you're not using xemacs (use the -nw flag when launching)? I have never used mule myself as it is not needed with emacs 22. Since everything seems to work in your terminal I cannot see why it wouldn't work in emacs, but I'm not an expert.

Re: [gentoo-user] new cron print job...
Mark Knecht skrev: Hello, Thanks to those that helped me with the new printer thread the other day. We purchased an HP M1522nf from NewEgg. It arrived in under 24 hours and tool me less than 2 minutes to get a test page. Quite a success. Thanks! I'd now like to set up a cron job to print a small file each evening just to keep the printers rollers moving every day. I've never used cron before. It looks *fairly* straight forward but I'd like to get some verification if I might. Thanks again. 1) In /root I created a small executable file that store df -h to a file and then I print that file using lpr. I executed that file using lpr -D HP_M1522nf print_todays_info and it appears to have worked. (I'm remote but I do see a print job in the CUPS records. I'll call later to see if it's printing correctly but I suspect it is.) 2) As root I ran crontab -e. The editor (nano) came up fine. 3) I entered the following line for testing 5 * * * * /root/print_todays_info If I'm correct then I understand that this would run the job every hour 5 minutes after the hour. I'll change it to 5 1 * * * /root/print_todays_info after I've tested it a bit more to make it a 1:05AM print job. Looking in the CUPS logs on the remote machine it appears a new copy printed a 5 minutes after 9AM so I'm thinking it's set up. Does this sound about right? Anything else I should be doing? Thanks, Mark The cronjob is right. You can also put your script under /etc/cron.daily and you won't have to edit the crontab manually. I also prefer to make sure that local mail delivery is working so cron may mail the results somewhere. -- //*David Sveningsson [eXt]* Freelance coder | Game Development Student http://sidvind.com Thou shalt make thy program's purpose and structure clear to thy fellow man by using the One True Brace Style, even if thou likest it not, for thy creativity is better used in solving problems than in creating beautiful new impediments to understanding.

[gentoo-user] Xorg won't use my TFT monitor as screen 0
Hi, I recently bought a new TFT monitor. I used to have 2 CRT monitors with an nvidia graphics card. I configured Xorg to use two separate screens and *not* twin-view. When I replaced the monitor that used to be screen 0 with the new TFT monitor Xorg cannot use it as screen 0 any more. And the placement of the screen seems weird. All applications starts about 200x200px to the left and above the desktops. When maximizing an application it fits into a (estimated) 1024x768 window. No matter how I configure X it just doesn't seem to work. Attaching my xorg.conf Also, I recently had some issues with java+firefox. Anytime a java applet is starting I get the following error: Java process caught exception: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError The callstack printed reveals that the error comes from sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.getDefaultScreenDevice(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:218) So I figured something must be really wrong with my configuration.
