[I18n] endash (Gedankenstrich) on german keyboard with Linux
I would like to suggest the following change (see patch below) to
XFree86. It adds an additional keyboard shortcut.
Do you agree to add it to XFree86?
Whom should I talk to to get it added?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Kai
Details
===
When writing german text documents, one very often needs access to the
special endash character, called Gedankenstrich in german.
It is a dash that is longer than a standard dash. (Unicode 0x2013, HTML
entity ndash;)
On a RedHat 7.3 system using XFree86 4.2.0, the following change works
for me, and maps the endash char to altgr+minus.

Re: [XFree86] XFree86 4.3.0 crashes: no screens found
I am only knowledgeable enough to tell you that the no screen found is rather common when X has problem (usually configuration) with either the graphic card or the monitor. It is no ground for panic. I don't know what X 4.3 likes or does not like but I would suspect that it might prefer a newer kernel (2.4.x). As I said already I don't know enough to be sure...

Make sure your kernel has agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded. and: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. and then the fatal error: no screens found. Now this whole business about inappropriate ioctl makes me nervous. Probably because I know very little about the mechanics of ioctl. This *is* the system call that we are talking about, right? Why would it fail? Wrong version maybe? Is the kernel at fault, old version that doesn't support some new ioctl thing-a-ma-bob. A bug in AGP GART? AGP GART is in fact installed as a module. However this is not a fatal error and maybe I can still run X without this AGP GART stuff. Continuing, now the final blow: Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. This makes me the most nervous of all. The screens have no usable configuration? Oh this really disturbs me because I just ran XFree86 -configure so if this leaves all my screens in an *unusable* state then does that mean I'll have to configure my screens myself? If XFree86 can't figure out what configuration is usable how will I ever figure this out. I know just as much about my hardware as X does, i810 and a Voodoo2. Well, the tracks run out of my train of reasoning here. I just don't know enough about how AGP GART, ioctl, and XFree86 work to fill in the gaps. This is my cry for help.

Re: [XFree86] Problem with X server!
Paul, he needs X 4.3... Lionel --- Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree that it might be better to just use a later distribution of Red Hat. But if you have limited resources and want to try a few things, there is a tool called xf86config that you run from the command line that will ask you for information to create a new XF86Config file. This is what appears to be your problem. If you don't know what that is, try the manual pages, man XF86Config. You will need some information from your monitor and video card. You need at least the horizontal and vertical frequencies of the monitor and the type and memory size of your video card. You should have a good idea of what resolution you want. A good guess would be 1024x768 at 24 bit color. You might want to post what kind of card and monitor you have.

[XFree86] i810 crashes
Hi! Well, there's Markus Willems reporting: Whens switching to Command-line mode on e.g. TTY1, the server collapses completely. myself writing: Something else I noticed is that the crashes seem to occur (more often) if whatever is displayed under X is to be changed right at the time I change to a text console. and bug report #103: ... It works very well except if I go to console mode cntrl-alt-F1 and a transient window arrives on the Xserver, the Xserver wiil crash and then successfully return to login (Kdm in this case). which all seem to point out the same problem. What can we/I do to get this fixed (assuming I don't have a clue about X server programming)? Cheers, Marcus -- http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,243562,00.html Marcus C.

Dear Sir, It is with hope that I write to seek your help in the context below. Firstly, let me introduce myself, I am Mrs. Victoria Guei wife of the former Head Of State of Cote'd Ivoire Late General Robert Guei who was assassinated on the 19th of September 2002 in a military uprising in my country. Since my husband death, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present administration of President Laurent Gbagbo . The security agents in the country have subjected me to physical and psychological torture. Subsequently events in my country has now led to the break up of the country with many displaced individuals including Foreigners. Unfortunately loyalist soldiers of President Laurent Gbagbo have continued to loot and assassinate those perceived to be against his regime. In view of these, I humbly approach you for assistance in the resettlement and relocation of my four children and I out of Accra-Ghana where we are temporarily seeking Political Asylum. I came in contact with your name and address in a website and would want to have good confidence in you as I view you to be a responsible personality. I have no doubt about your capacity and good will to assist me in receiving into your custody for safety, funds deposited by my husband in certain Diplomatic Security/Deposit Companies around the World; the Deposit document I have in my possession. For obvious security reasons, it is imperative that you keep all our communication very secret. Do not mention my familys name or disclose the transaction to anybody. As soon as I acknowledge receipt of your acceptance of this business proposal through my e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will furnish you with the necessary steps.
