I'm sorry, but it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to be patching dexter
right now since I am transforming it into a bunch of debconf templates and
an engine that constructs an XF86Config(-4) file from debconf database
answers.

please help.

2000-11-18 Thread 陳彰熾
My inbox has literally exploded with bugs since I released 4.0.1.  Perhaps
100 or more have been filed.

The bugs are coming in faster than I can do triage on them.

I am literally overwhelmed.

I would appreciate it if those on this list could do what they can as
described on the X Strike Force page in the bugs section.

3 things would help:

1) downgrade RC bugs to normal or wishlist; the very few *actual* RC
   problems will percolate back up

2) mail people (using [EMAIL PROTECTED]) complaining about
   XFree86 -configure or xf86cfg that these tools are still in heavy
   development and useless right now (which isn't true in general, but is for
   the people who watch them segfault and then just file a grave bug report
   about it)

3) mail people (using [EMAIL PROTECTED]) complaining about X
   server crashes requesting that they mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with:
   A) /sbin/lspci | grep VGA
   B) /var/log/XFree86.0.log
   C) /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

   This is of course not necessary for the very few people who already
   provided all of this information in their bug report.

4) Ask people who don't seem to understand the meaning of "unstable" in
   "Debian unstable" to please go back to using the RELEASED version of
   Debian, so as to free up developer resources for preparing next version,
   instead of dealing with redundant, and unhelpful, bug reports.

Please conduct all correspondence with bug submitters via the
bugnum-submitter address so that I can stay abreast of what's going on.

Please conduct all correspondence with me about a particular bug via the
bugnum address.  CC'ing debian-x is fine if it is a problem of general
relevance.

Thanks very much for your efforts.

Yes, I've been thinking about how to go about doing this properly.  When I
run into one of the debbugs guys, like Adam Heath, in IRC I'll chat with
him about possibly getting debian-x used as the maintainer for the purposes
of BTS traffic mails without breaking my ability to close bugs with an
upload.

This is becoming a FAQ, you have a Voodoo 3 Voodoo4 or a Voodoo 5, and
you have a line like 'Load "dri"' in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I am
currently working on fixing the drivers, but it takes time.

Re: [yori_h@nifty.com: (bug) xserver-xfree86_4.0.1-5]

2000-11-18 Thread Seth Arnold
Yoriyosi,

Please do not email Branden directly. Email debian-user if you think the
problem is common, or debian-x if you think the problem is unique to the
Debian packaging of X. In this case, I believe it is unique to the
debian packaging of X, so debian-x would be the correct address to
email.

[Branden, is there any chance you could get your email address removed
from the package maintainer field? :]

With respect to this problem, the changelog specifically states that
this tool has been disabled temporarily. This is likely a result of this
tool's extreme infancy -- it seems to work less often than fail.

Please use dexter(1) or write your own XF86Config(5) file yourself.

[Branden, could you make XF86Config-4 a symlink to XF86Config? That way,
I can refer to XF86Config-4(5) directly. :]

Cheers. :)

D'oh! I forgot that Debian likes to support things if they are possible.

Ok, how about making XF86Config a symlink to XF86Config-4(5) when 4.0.1

Odd, ok.

This is Voodoo 3 specific, the Voodoo 4 and 5 seems to be immune, which
makes it a little harder to pin down. (They share most of the 2D code)

I have been told that -march=k6 may not be beneficial for athlons. But
some compilers may be able to use -march=k7. See previous emails on this

Re: [kabi@informatics.muni.cz: xserver-svga]

Hi there,

if brandens packages are recent then you should get 32bpp and dri to
work together. It works here but I do use a cvs snapshot from
dri.sourceforge.net.

   FWIW, I've got a Compaq Presario 1236 with a NeoMagic chipset running
just fine in its 800x600 mode with the latest woody XFree86 server.

list filter request

2000-11-18 Thread Randolph Chung

Can someone at least temporarily filter [EMAIL PROTECTED] off the
debian-x list? he is apparently running a windows email client that has
been infected with the navidad virus and is flooding the list with
copies of old mails with virus attachments.

You should ask listmaster@ for such a request!

It's installed.  Since there were only a couple of such mails I
thought that he had his problem fixed already.

Can't do this because people can and may have, for instance, xserver-svga
and xserver-xfree86 installed simultaneously.

D'oh! I forgot that Debian likes to support things if they are possible.
:)

Ok, how about making XF86Config a symlink to XF86Config-4(5) when 4.0.1
is installed?

Hmm. No, there really isn't a good way of dealing with this.

Right. Removing DRI makes no difference to the graphics corruption.
Noaccel also doesn't seem to help.
