Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-3 Severity: normal Tags: experimental
Since moving from 4.1 to 4.2, I've found that the v4l program "xawtv" misbehaves - sometimes drawing a corrupted picture inside the window, sometimes repeating the image as greyscale spots across the screen (see http://ccl.bham.ac.uk/~andrew/tv.png for an image). Even if it's repeated across the screen, you get a normal series of moving pictures, not just a single image on the screen. If the image is just corrupted, it's still removed correctly When xawtv closes. If the image repeats, it isn't - though, of course, the picture stops changing. The remaining image goes away when you (for example) move a window over the relevant area. I'm fairly sure the error is with XFree86, as "fbtv" (TV on a framebuffer) works fine. I'd be happy to do any experimentation with the system you'd like to help in any debugging. - Andrew Sayers -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux nautilus 2.4.19 #1 Mon Oct 7 01:04:02 BST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages xserver-xfree86 depends on: ii debconf 1.2.12 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.1-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xserver-common 4.2.1-3 files and utilities common to all ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-6 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: * xserver-xfree86/config/device/identifier: S3 Trio 3D * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/screen-size: 15 inches (380 mm) * xserver-xfree86/config/device/use_fbdev: true * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/selection-method: Advanced xserver-xfree86/config/doublequote_in_string_error: shared/default-x-server: xserver-xfree86 * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/emulate3buttons: false * xserver-xfree86/config/device/bus_id: PCI:1:0:0 * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout: uk * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/horiz-sync: 30-70 * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/identifier: LG Monitor shared/no_known_x-server: xserver-xfree86/autodetect_mouse: true * xserver-xfree86/config/device/video_ram: xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/mode-list: 1280x960 @ 60Hz * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/lcd: false xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/internal: * xserver-xfree86/clobber_XF86Config-4: false * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/rules: xfree86 * xserver-xfree86/aware_XF86Config-4: xserver-xfree86/multiple_possible_x-drivers: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model: pc102 * xserver-xfree86/config/write_dri_section: true * xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver: s3virge * xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/vert-refresh: 50-160 * xserver-xfree86/config/display/default_depth: 24 * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/zaxismapping: true * xserver-xfree86/config/display/modes: 1280x1024, 640x480 shared/clobber_x-server_symlink: false xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/retry_detection: xserver-xfree86/config/device/bus_id_error: * xserver-xfree86/config/modules: GLcore, bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod, freetype, glx, int10, record, speedo, type1, vbe * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options: xserver-xfree86/move_existing_nondebconf_config: false xserver-xfree86/config/nonnumeric_string_error: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol: ImPS/2 shared/multiple_possible_x-servers: xserver-xfree86/config/null_string_error: * xserver-xfree86/manage_config_with_debconf: false xserver-xfree86/config/monitor/range_input_error: xserver-xfree86/autodetect_video_card: true * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/variant: * xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/port: /dev/misc/psaux * xserver-xfree86/config/write_files_section: false xserver-xfree86/autodetect_monitor: true
