it is attached. since last tiem, i upgraded to experimental, downgraded to 4.2.1-11, purged xfree86 (which removed also kde and gnome) using apt-get remove --purge, and reinstalled 4.2.1-11 . but somehow purging does not seem to really throw everything away? the XF86Config-4 stayed the same, even if i had to confirm autodect information ( used read-edid, mdetect and discover, as you suggested).
so for me there are the following questions remaining:
1. display managers do not work any more:
there following is working:
xstart:
- starts kde
gdm/stable, can start:
- kde: everything works
- Xsession: everything works, if twm is installed
- failsave xterm: comes up with a xterm, without a window manager
not working:
xdm starting kde
after login a black screen comes, then you are back at login
kdm starting kde/gnome
after login a black screen comes, then you are back at login
gdm starting gnome
just a try to display the splash screen, then it is gone.
no error messages in gdm.log, and i have no idea whereelse
they could be.
xdm.log is attached, the error seems to be (same error as kdm):
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession: fold: command not found
# which fold
/usr/bin/fold
i'm using /etc/environment for setting the path, according to:
http://www.astro.unibas.ch/~loeffler/thinkpad/p5-manualconf.xhtml#environment
there is /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10-source-environment, which sources
/etc/environment. there /usr/bin is in the path. it worked a month ago.
i don't have .Xsession files.
2. why i cannot use the "alt gr" key in kde, xterm, somehow it
seems to do the same as "alt". xev says "alt_r". i don't
know if menu-key and windows keys work.
on console everything works fine.
in Xfree.log is:
(**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard0"
(**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) XKB: model: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "de"
(**) XKB: layout: "de"
(**) Option "XkbVariant" "CH"
(**) XKB: variant: "CH"
(==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled
startup is done with gdm/stable, in gdm.log is:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: No Symbols named "CH" in the include file "de"
> Exiting
> Abandoning symbols file "default"
3. gaim does not work any more, complains with
$ gaim
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org
this is the version which worked a month ago.
4. kde kcontrol: you can set the fonts once, the next time you start
they are gone.
but i suppose this is a kde/qt problem. it worked also a month
ago, but i can't remember if kde also got updated.
a very nice thing would be, if the logmessage of the xkbcomp could be a bit
more useful in future,
so you know what it executes (this one today is ok, but the last one was not
very helpful).
