Package: xserver-xephyr Version: 2:1.12.3.902-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I run a multiseat setup, but in fact this happens also in a regular environment. After this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=commit;h=af8ffefc070be8cb449812100b86501db17e8fd8 the commandline for Xephyr is not parsed properly. Example: Xephyr -retro -keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/event2,xkbrules=evdev,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=pl -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event1 :3 results in: <snip> Pointer option key (device=) of value (/dev/input/event1) not assigned! Kbd option key (device=) of value (/dev/input/event2) not assigned! Kbd option key (xkbrules=) of value (evdev) not assigned! Kbd option key (xkbmodel=) of value (evdev) not assigned! Kbd option key (xkblayout=) of value (pl) not assigned! <snip> The effect of the patch is that the "key=value" pairs are parsed in such a way that the key is added an "equals" sign to it and we end up with keys like "device=" instead of "device". This in turn has effect on KdParsePointerOptions and KdParseKbdOptions: the key does not match any choice presented in the "switch" statement, and so "Pointer/Kbd option key (...) of value (...) not assigned!" happens, making all "key=value" options inaccessible to the user. Reverting the patch makes them available again. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xserver-xephyr depends on: ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libdrm2 2.4.33-3 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 8.0.4-2 ii libpixman-1-0 0.26.0-3 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.7-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2 ii libxfont1 1:1.4.5-2 ii libxv1 2:1.0.7-1 ii xserver-common 2:1.12.3.902-1 Versions of packages xserver-xephyr recommends: ii libgl1-mesa-dri 8.0.4-2 xserver-xephyr suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
