Re: Need help: Lost keyboard after xorg upgrade
Thanks for the ideas. Yes, I have the /etc/default/keyboard file. It has the entries: XKBMODEL=pc105 XKBLAYOUT=de XKBVARIANT=de XKBOPTIONS=altwin:super_win The file is (except of the XKBOPTIONS) identical to the one on the other laptop which works fine. I looked into the /etc/udev/rules.d and they also seem to be identical between the two laptops. Copy and edit this file : cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf # This file is autogenerated by system-setup-keyboard. Any # modifications will be lost. Section InputClass Identifier system-setup-keyboard MatchIsKeyboard on Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout pt # Option XkbVariant(null) Option XkbOptionsterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp, EndSection system-setup-keyboard is fedora-specific. the debian equivalent is in /etc/defaults/keyboard.

How to revert back glx version from 1.4 to 1.2
Hi its been known to many that Xorg versions supporting glx version 1.4 introduced some memory leak. My question is how do I roll back only the GLX version back to 1.2? I am running ubuntu 9.10 which is shipped with xserver 1.6.4 and x11-common version 7.4, nvidia driver 256.40, glxinfo shows; name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Concerning X freezing occasionally, I can confirm, somewhat
I would point out that I am on Intel and at least one other reporter is on Nouveau, so that suggests that those who are proposing a Nouveau-specific known bug is the cause are probably not correct. I should point out that OpenGL works correctly most of the time.

I have been trying to find out what causes this, I run my application within valgrind and it doesnt report any memory leak. Upon some searching online , I found people going thru similar experience and it seemed to be caused by glx, and still happens after doing an update to xserver version 1.6.4 (thats how far I could go with ubuntu's repository xorg-edgers). I did compile xserver 1.8.9 but I am not able to see anything on the screen - perhaps nvidia kernel mode driver is not compatible with it ..
