Charsets on Debian

2001-12-18 Thread Scott Bronson
I recognize that on my US Debian system, characters 0-127 are simply ASCII, and that characters 160-255 are ISO-8859-1. What standard covers characters 128-159? Also, how do I change my charset? Wouldn't it be better if the Debian X packages used ISO-8859-15 by default? Thank you, -

Disabling x-session-manager

2001-11-04 Thread Scott Bronson
Hi, guys. I want to have an x-session-manager installed, but I still want to start up a window manager. Problem is, Branden's startup scripts don't allow this. So, I put together this .deb. It just adds another x-session-manager to update-alternatives: NONE. When you select none, then the

Setting dpms

2001-03-05 Thread Scott Bronson
I want to set DPMS every time an X session is started, regardless of user (i.e. no custom session files in home directories). This is for the lastest unstable X 4.0.2. I tried creating /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10xfree86-set_dpms: xset dpms 0 0 1200 xset +dpms But this doesn't work.

Matrox driver devlopment

I found the XFree 4.x mga driver sources on www.matrox.com. I glanced over them and I think I see some easy 2D wins I could get in there and hack on them a bit, but I'm worried about duplicating effort. Can anyone tell me where Matrox driver development is going on? I didn't find anything
