Re: strange terminal-emulators-only behaviour: broken key-map?
strangely it seems that *only* my gnome-terminal/xterm stopped to correctly map my keyboard (pc105). Other applications (gedit, openoffice,...) still work correctly. For example, if I type shift+3, I should get the £ character but I get #+return and èéàç keys are no longer working, printing out empty spaces. Same behavior in xterm or other terminals... I also tried the fr layout with the same result: £ is mapped to #+return. Today I discovered that the behavior is related to the BASH shell only. When I I use the SH shell, the terminal's keymap works as expected. I cannot figure out why the interaction between BASH and x-terminals is broken, any idea?

Re: Radeon RS482 video memory changing
On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 8:18 AM, Dark Guard darkg...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings guys. In first place, I want to say a great «thanks!» to you all. Your work at the field of X programming and creation of the perfect stable video drivers is really outstanding! But, unfortunately, a little occasion with video has been observing on my laptop. The cover story: Recently, I forced my Dell Inspiron 1501n up with a new LinuxMint_x86_x64 release as well as x86-free-radeon driver. Before this migration, I used PCLinuxOS which have x86_32 support and Ati proprietary driver also included. My laptop, mentioned above, contains Turion MK-36 (x86_64), 1 Gb of Ram Xpress 200M IGP. I didn't make much attention of free ram available before, but due to switching to x86_64 I had to. Certainly, the performance raised up, but the system free memory became an extremely low (I expected a variety of decrementation, but not in so terrifying amount). Therefore, I tried to change the situation by lowering a video memory range. By default, there are 256 Mbs of UMA+SidePort memory the system reserves to. This option merely is not presented in BIOS in the official Catalist Control Center for linux(in my old distributive by the way) is not presented too. I've read a plenty of docs - Xorg mailing list archives, FAQ, all radeon's driver guideline, but the only stuff I have found to play with - is option «VideoRam» / «in Kb» in device section of xorg.conf (and unfortunately it doesn't work). The question: Is there any possibility to minimize a video ram value using x86-free-radeon or for now it's not available? The only way to change the amount of ram used for vram is via a bios option.

Re: X Server Cursor Option
I've asked you to ensure that you keep a relevant mailing list in the loop. Please respect my request - I made it for good reasons. I honestly can't answer your questions - I never need the X cursor, so it suits me to have it completely disabled and impossible to re-enable. I pointed you at XFixes, because I believe that the code used by the HideCursor request is closely related to the code that the -nocursor option amends. If you keep this on the xorg mailing list, rather than insisting on mailing me privately, you may get helpful answers from other people.
