(new) lbxproxy_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
Low Bandwidth X (LBX) proxy server
Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth extension
to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy. These applications
need know nothing about LBX, they simply connect to the lbxproxy as if were a
regular X server. The lbxproxy accepts client connections, multiplexes them
over a single connection to the X server, and performs various optimizations
on the X protocol to make it faster over low bandwidth and/or high latency
connections.
(new) libdps-dev_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libdevel
Display PostScript (DPS) client library development files

library are provided by this package.
(new) libdps1-dbg_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb extra libdevel
Display PostScript (DPS) client library (unstripped)
This package is useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a
debugger; this facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding
logic errors in programs using this library (or the library itself). The
library is installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug and can be used by placing that
directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when the code to
be debugged is executed.
.
Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package. See the
libdps1 package for further information.
(new) libdps1_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libs
Display PostScript (DPS) client library
libdps provides client-side libraries for use with the Display Postscript
(DPS) system.
.

X Athena widget set library development files (version 6)
Xaw header files and a static version of the Athena widget library are
provided by this package, which supports Xaw6-based clients.
.
It is necessary for the symbol OLDXAW to be defined at compile time for the
Athena library-using program to behave correctly; otherwise the header files
in this package will exhibit Xaw7 behavior.
(new) libxaw6_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libs
X Athena widget set library (version 6)
Xaw is a widget set based on the the Xt (X Toolkit Intrinsics) library. It
provides a set of graphical user-interface elements ("widgets") such as
menus, scrollbars, dialog boxes, text-input areas, and so forth. The X
clients distributed with the X Window System itself, as well as many others,
use the Athena widget set.
.
The version of the Athena widgets in this package corresponds to the X11R6.4
release of the X Window System. XFree86 has made significant enhancements to
the Athena widget set; their version can be found in the libxaw7 package.

X Athena widget set library development files
Xaw header files, a static library, and a manual page documenting new
features in version 7 of the Athena widget library are provided by this
package.
(new) libxaw7_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libs
X Athena widget set library
Xaw is a widget set based on the the Xt (X Toolkit Intrinsics) library. It
provides a set of graphical user-interface elements ("widgets") such as
menus, scrollbars, dialog boxes, text-input areas, and so forth. The X
clients distributed with the X Window System itself, as well as many others,
use the Athena widget set.
.
XFree86 has made a number of major improvements to the Athena widget set,
resulting in version 7 -- this version features widgets customizable in
appearance and event handling (a.k.a. "themes"); an extensible image loader
(currently supports bitmaps, gradients, and pixmaps); numerous enhancements
to the Text widget, text source and text sink objects; and multiple-column
support in the SimpleMenu widget.
.
The older Athena widget library corresponding to version X11R6.4 of the X
Window System can be found in the libxaw6 package.
(new) proxymngr_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X proxy services manager
proxymngr is responsible for resolving requests from xfindproxy (in the
xbase-clients package) and other similar clients, starting new proxies when
appropriate, and keeping track of all the available proxy services.
(new) twm_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
Tab window manager
twm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides title bars,
shaped windows, several forms of icon management, user-defined macro
functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard focus, and
user-specified key and pointer button bindings.
(new) x-window-system-core_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X Window System core components
This metapackage provides the essential components for a standalone
workstation running the X Window System. It provides the X libraries, an X
server (except on the S/390 architecture), a set of fonts, and a group of
basic X clients and utilities.
.
Higher level metapackages, such as those for desktop environments, can
depend on this package and simplify their dependencies.
.
It should be noted that a package providing x-window-manager and a package
providing x-terminal-emulator should also be installed to ensure a
comfortable X experience.
(new) xbase-clients_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
miscellaneous X clients
An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via
the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a

Debconf interface to the xserver-xfree86 package should be used instead of
these tools.
(new) xdm_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X display manager
xdm manages a collection of X servers, which may be on the local host or
remote machines. It provides services similar to those provided by init,
getty, and login on character-based terminals: prompting for login name and
password, authenticating the user, and running a session. xdm supports XDMCP
(X Display Manager Control Protocol) and can also be used to run a chooser
process which presents the user with a menu of possible hosts that offer
XDMCP display management.
.
If the xutils package is installed, xdm can use the sessreg utility to
register login sessions to the system utmp file; this, however, is not
necessary for xdm to function.
(new) xfs_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X font server
xfs is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X
servers (and thus to X clients). All X servers have the ability to serve
locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to offload
that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of fonts on a
networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running X servers on a
network do not require their own set of fonts. xfs may also be invoked by
users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user accounts that are not
available to the X server or to an already running system xfs.
(new) xfwp_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X firewall proxy server
The X firewall proxy is an application layer gateway proxy that may be run
on a network firewall host to forward X traffic across the firewall. Used
in conjunction with the X server Security extension and authorization
checking, xfwp constitutes a safe, simple, and reliable mechanism both to
hide the addresses of X servers located on an intranet and to enforce a
server connection policy. Xfwp cannot protect against mischief
originating on an intranet; however, when properly configured it can
guarantee that only trusted clients originating on authorized external
Internet hosts will be allowed inbound access to local X servers.

(new) xlibmesa-glu_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libs
Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree86]
The OpenGL utility library (GLU) offers simple interfaces for building
mipmaps; checking for the presence of extensions in the OpenGL (or other
libraries which follow the same conventions for advertising extensions);
drawing piecewise linear curves, NURBS, quadrics and other primitives
(including, but not limited to, teapots); tesselating surfaces; setting up
projection matrices and unprojecting screen coordinates to world coordinates.
.
XFree86 maintains its own version of the Mesa libraries; see the xlibmesa-gl

.
The off-screen rendering library (OSMesa) is an extension to Mesa, not an
implementation of any OpenGL standard; therefore, it is packaged separately,
so that any OpenGL-conformant library may be installed on a Debian system,
and OpenGL-based programs may depend on any of them. The OSMesa library,
however, specifically depends on the Mesa library.
(new) xlibs-dbg_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb extra libdevel
X Window System client libraries (unstripped)
This package is useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a

and can be used by placing that directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable when the code to be debugged is executed.
.
Unstripped versions of Xlib's loadable modules for internationalization
support are provided in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale/common. Note that if
you wish to debug these modules, you will need to set XLOCALEDIR to
/usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale. Also note that for security reasons,
unprivileged users are unable to override XLOCALEDIR in this way, so you may
have to perform your debugging of the Xlib modules as root.

Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package. See the xlibs
package for more information.
(new) xlibs-dev_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libdevel
X Window System client library development files
xlibs-dev provides static versions of the libraries provided in xlibs, as
well as several libraries that do not exist in shared object form for
various reasons (such as the fact that their APIs have not stabilized, or

(new) xlibs_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional libs
X Window System client libraries
The X libraries are an interface between X client programs and the
hardware-oriented X servers, and consist of routines to read input from the
keyboard and pointer, draw on the screen, etc., in an abstract manner that is
independent of the particular characteristics of the hardware. The X
libraries, and the programs that use them, communicate with X servers by
means of the X protocol.
.
libX11 (a.k.a. Xlib) provides the low-level functionality, dealing mostly
with the wire protocol and in terms of basic operations such as opening and
closing the X protocol connection, creating graphics contexts, drawing
graphics primitives such as lines, arcs, and glyphs, handling events, and so
forth. A set of dynamically-loadable internationalization modules is also
part of Xlib, though not in the libX11 shared object itself.
.
libXpm, the X pixmap library, is a set of routines used to store and retrieve
X pixmaps (a data structure comprising a rectangular array of pixels) from
files; the xpm file format is an extension of the monochrome bitmap file
format in the X11 specification. (Traditionally, libXpm was maintained and
distributed separately from the X Window System, but XFree86 has absorbed
this library).
.
libXt, the X Toolkit Intrinsics, is an abstract widget library upon which
graphical widget libraries (such as Athena and LessTif) may be developed; the
Intrinsics provide a number of useful interfaces to X conventions and
protocols, in many cases reducing a long series of Xlib calls to just a
couple of Xt calls.
.
libXmu is a set of miscellaneous utility functions useful to client
programmers.
.
libXmuu is a very small set of miscellaneous utility functions extracted
from Xmu, Xt, and Xaw, for clients that need the occasional useful
function from these libraries but do not require the toolkit overhead. To
use libXmuu, simply include the headers for the other libraries in the
client and link against Xmuu instead of Xmu, Xt, and Xaw. Needless to
say, if the client uses functions from Xmu, Xt, or Xaw that are not
present in Xmuu, it will fail to link.
.
The remainder of the libraries in this package implement the client side
of various X protocol extensions:
- libICE, the Inter-Client Exchange extension;
- libSM, the Session Management extension;
- libXext, a collection of several commonly-used extensions;
- libXft, a FreeType-based font rendering extension(old version);
- libXi, the X Input extension;
- libXp, the X Printing extension;
- libXrandr, the RnR (resizing and rotation for the root window) extension;
- libXTrap, an extension for capturing the server protocol and synthesizing
core input events;
- libXtst, the X Testing extension; and
- libxrx, the remote activation extension.
.
The PEX5 and XIE extension libraries are no longer part of this package;
they are deprecated, and practically unused in modern X clients.
.
xlibs also contains the XKB keyboard parameter files, locale data, and a set
of bitmap and pixmap image files commonly used by X clients.
(new) xmh_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb extra mail
X interface to the MH mail system
xmh provides a graphical user interface to the MH (Message Handler) mail
system. xmh is a very old X client and is not exactly a "living" piece of
software. MH users will probably prefer the exmh package, which serves the
same function and continues to be actively developed.
(new) xnest_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
nested X server
xnest an X server that is itself an X client. This allows you to run a
server within a server; this is occasionally useful for testing new window
managers and other X clients.
.
Xnest relies upon its parent X server for font services.
(new) xprt_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X print server (XFree86 version)
xprt provides an X server with the print extension and special DDX
(Device-Dependent X) implementation.
.
This package provides Xprt, the Xprint server from XFree86. Note that this
version is buggy and does not work with Mozilla. You should install
xprt-xprintorg instead, which provides full support for printing from
mozilla, including non-latin characters and MathML. Improvement of XFree86's
version of the Xprint server is expected in a future release.
(new) xserver-common_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
files and utilities common to all X servers
The X server is the hardware interface of the X Window System. Its job is to
communicate with video display and input devices, and present them in a
standardized, abstract fashion via the X protocol to X clients (X-based
programs). The X server largely relieves programs of having to know or care
about the details of the hardware with which they are interacting (such
things as 32-bit versus 8-bit color, the layout of the keyboard, how many
buttons the mouse has, etc.). The catch is that the X server must itself
know the technical specifications of the graphics hardware and monitor, the
keyboard layout, the protocol used by the mouse, and so forth.
.
X servers either need fonts installed on the local host, or need to know of a
remote host that provides font services (with xfs, for instance). The former
means that font packages are mandatory. The latter means that font packages
may be gratuitous. To err on the side of caution, install at least the
xfonts-base, xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi, and xfonts-scalable packages.
(new) xserver-xfree86-dbg_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb extra x11
the XFree86 X server (static version with debugging symbols)
This package is a variant of the xserver-xfree86 package which includes a
monolithic XFree86 X server binary (as opposed to using loadable server
modules on the architectures where they are supported) and which retains
debugging symbols for execution tracing and core dump analysis.
.
Installation of the xserver-xfree86 package is recommended for documentation
of the XFree86 X server, but is not mandatory. See the package description
of xserver-xfree86 for more information.
(new) xserver-xfree86_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
the XFree86 X server
The XFree86 X server is an X server for several architectures and operating
systems; its architecture was completely redesigned for the 4.0 release, and
features a loadable module system in which required modules are loaded on
demand by a single server binary as opposed to the video card-specific X
servers of the 3.x release.
.
The XFree86 server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors,
and supersedes most version 3.x XFree86 X servers. See
<http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Status.html> for information on its support for
your particular hardware.
.
If the discover, mdetect and read-edid packages are installed, this package's
configuration script will use them to attempt automatic configuration of the
X server based on your information returned by your video card, mouse, and
monitor.
.
Note that on the HP-PA, MIPS, and SuperH architectures, the server's
loadable module support is not present, and therefore the XFree86 server is a
(very large) single binary.
(new) xterm_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X terminal emulator
xterm is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It provides DEC VT102
and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs that cannot use the
window system directly. This version implements ISO/ANSI colors and most of
the control sequences used by DEC VT220 terminals.
(new) xutils_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
X Window System utility programs
xutils provides a set of utility programs shipped with the X Window System
that do not require the X libraries; many of these programs are useful
even on a system that does not have any X clients or X servers installed.
.
The programs in this package include:
- atobm, a converter from ASCII to X bitmap (.xbm) files;
- bdftopcf, which converts BDF fonts to PCF fonts;
- bdftruncate.pl and ucs2any.pl, tools to generate fonts with various

(new) xvfb_4.3.0-0pre1v1_sparc.deb optional x11
virtual framebuffer X server
xvfb provides an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware
and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual
memory. The primary use of this server was intended to be server testing,
but other novel uses for it have been found, including testing clients
against unusual depths and screen configurations, doing batch processing with
Xvfb as a background rendering engine, load testing, as an aid to porting the
X server to a new platform, and providing an unobtrusive way to run
applications that don't really need an X server but insist on having one
anyway.
.
This package also contains a convenience script called xvfb-run which
simplifies the automated execution of X clients in a virtual server
environment. This convenience script requires the use of the xauth
program from xbase-clients, hence the suggestion of xbase-clients.
Changes: xfree86 (4.3.0-0pre1v1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* new upstream release
- XFree86 X server now supports ATI Radeon Mobility (Closes: #196810)
- XFree86 X server now supports SiS 740 chipset (Closes: #196912)
- XTerm allows window title reporting, disabled by default, to be enabled
at the user's option via the allowWindowOps X resource (Closes: #200857)
.
* Some things changed. This release would not have been possible without
the assistance of Daniel Stone (sponsored by Trinity College, Melbourne
Uni) and ISHIKAWA Mutsumi. A proper changelog entry for this release may
not be possible even if God Himself grabbed my keyboard away from me.
.
* converted package build process to use packaged version of DBS, courtesy
of Warren Turkal
- debian/control: build-depend on dbs
- debian/rules: use DBS
- debian/scripts/vars: DBS knows where the stampdir is
- debian/setperms: no longer need to enforce permissions on local version of
DBS
- debian/{doogie-build-system,scripts/{fix.source.patch,patch.apply,
patch.unapply,source.patch,source.unpack,unfix.source.patch}: deleted in
favor of DBS
.
* debian/rules: stop calling debconf2po-update, per Denis Barbier
(Closes: #172579)
.
* remove special-case logic in linux.cf that defined "HasLinuxInput" to
"NO" for Mc68020Architecture:
- m68k is now supported by the Linux 2.4.20 kernel (at least in
Debian), so we let this symbol be defined to "YES" just like all the
other architectures. This only really affects the Wacom input driver
and should not cause any regressions. (thanks to James Troup for
pointing out this no-longer-needed conditional)
- patch #003 update
.
* always disable FontLibSharedFreeType, ensuring similarity between normal
XFree86 server and XFree86 debugging server:
- patch #003 updated
- this change should be dropped when the module-loading server can be
linked against an external FreeType2 library [ISHIKAWA Mutsumi]
.
* Imake warning fix patch:
- patch #057_X11.tmpl_warning_fix.diff: new [ISHIKAWA Mutsumi]
.
* Use external Xft, Xrender and Xcursor libraries:
- patch #058, #059, #060: new
- patch #909: remove (reimplemented as above patches)
- xlibs{,-dbg,-dev}.*, shlibs*: drop Xrender and Xcursor related entry
- debian/control: add Build-Depends: libxrender-dev, libxcursor-dev
[ISHIKAWA Mutsumi]
.

- patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_sis_driver: new (Closes: #183619, #186237,
#196912)
.
* new Savage driver (version 1.1.27t): patch #063. (Closes: #110974,
#112703, #115223, #128125, #145420, #148008, #152796, #154641, #185443,
#194144, #194351, #191915, #197058, #112703, #110974)

.
* eliminate TEXTREL section from libGL, making it PIC-compliant:
- patch #062: new (Closes: #190323)
.
* fix weak deps (many on X11/Xext in xlibs):
- patch #063: new (Closes: #187374)
.
* xlibs-pic package renamed to xlibs-static-pic

- patch #048 updated with new patch from XFree86 Bugzilla, via Martin
Loschwitz
.
* Xft.man name conflict problem fix [ISHIKAWA Mutsumi]
- patch #065: new
- man page name under xc/lib/{Xft,Xft1}/Xft.man name space confliction fix,
simply rename xc/lib/Xft1/Xft.man to xc/lib/Xft1/Xft1.man
.
* patch #909: rework support for static libraries with PIC info; by default,
only libraries without a shared version build static-PIC versions, and
then only on systems where PIC info is not included in static ("normal")
libraries by default (such as Debian)
.
* xftcache related things cleanup [ISHIKAWA Mutsumi]
- xftcache description dropped from debian/control.
- use fc-cache instaed of xftcache in xfonts-scale.{postinst,postrm}
.
* X-TT font engine update to X-TT 1.4.1 [ISHIKAWA Mutsumi]
.
* debian/control:
- Change all references to libstdc++5-dev to be
libstdc++5-dev | libstdc++-dev, allowing libstdc++5-3.3-dev to satisfy
the dependency, and thus allowing gcc3.2 to be removed.
(Closes: #194136)
- new xlibmesa-drm-src package (Closes: #139817)
.
* debian/xlibosmesa4-dbg.install: install the unstripped library in
/usr/X11R6/lib/debug, not /usr/X11R6/lib
Your package contains new components which requires manual editing of
the override file. It is ok otherwise, so please be patient. New
packages are usually added to the override file about once a week.
You may have gotten the distribution wrong. You'll get warnings above
if files already exist in other distributions.
