Bug#238080: xfree86: IGNORE_MANIFEST_CHANGES doesn't work

2004-03-15 Thread Daniel Schepler
Package: xfree86
Severity: minor
Version: 4.3.0-5

When I was trying to build a custom version of xfree86 using
IGNORE_MANIFEST_CHANGES, it didn't work.  The problem appears to be
that the diff command is returning an exit code of 1 when it finds
changes, and since dbs sets SHELL to "/bin/sh -e", the rest of the
command never gets reached.  In fact, adding "|| true" after the diff
command fixed the problem.  So might adding `|| test "$$?" = 1'
instead, but I haven't tested that one.

Bug#238100: xserver-xfree86: Xvideo seems broken since upgrade to 4.3.0

2004-03-15 Thread Emmanuel Charpentier
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-5
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

I use a few applications using XVideo (e. g. xawtv, mjpegtools, etc ...).
Since my recent update of my sid machine, (specifically, going from 4.2.x to
4.3.x), xvideo support seems broken.
A typical example is :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Captures/DiesIrae$ glav DiesIrae-01.avi DiesIrae-02.avi 
DiesIrae-03.avi
++: X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
++:   Major opcode of failed request:  142 (XVideo)

++:   Serial number of failed request:  21
++:   Current serial number in output stream:  22
++: lavtools version 1.6.2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Captures/DiesIrae$

Similarly, xawtv *needs* -noxv and -remote options in order to run (it always
needed the -remote option ...).

Similarly, I noticed that mplayer crashed and that gvlc stopped displaying
video. But the error messages were not so specific : the mplayer chash reports
problem with audio module, and gvlc just presents a black screen. Ogle crashes
too, with an error related to xvideo :

Perusing the xfree86-xserver bug list, I saw that a similar problem has been
reported for a number of different video cards in the same or similar
circumstances (i.e. upgading to 4.3.x). I haven't been unable to find a
workaround for this problem in theses reports and associated messages.

Failing a bugfix (which might be a bit difficult), I'd appreciate any pointers
to a workaround and/or a hint on how to downgrade to XFree86 4.2 (I'm
following sid ...).

Sincerely yours,

Emmanuel Charpentier

Dear Christian,

Thanks for the suggestion.

If I put
Option  "VBERestore" "1"
in the Device section of XF86Config-4, then I find that the keypress
C-A-F1 will still switch to vt1.  HOWEVER, when I use A-F7 to switch
back, the screen goes blank.

If I put
Option  "VBERestore" "0"
then everything works totally correctly.  (I assume that "0" is the
default.)

I have an 845G chipset.  I think that VBERestore option was put in to
help people with 830G chipsets.  According to
http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html
this option was to allow 830G users to optionally back out a fix that
had to be put in to get correct behaviour for my chipset, the 845G.

After all of this, I think my problem was not the drivers at all.  It
turns out that 4.3.0 changed the rules for Xmodmap.  The trap keys
like C-A-F1 that had been implicit, were put explicitly into the
internal xmodmap.  If you do "xmodmap -pke" as root in a terminal,
you'll see them in there.

I was using an old modified Xmodmap to remap my keyboard, a
Happy-Hacker's model, to make the diamond keys do a Delete-forward.
But my Xmodmap didn't have the new entries for the trap keys!  So I
had to make a new Xmodmap starting from a current output of "xmodmap
-pke".  That solved the problem.

So I don't know which Debian update "solved" my problem, since my
problem was of my own making and not something about the drivers.
Sorry.  Hope the above data point helps.




Thanks for the reply, Oliver!
I was just curious, if the "VBERestore" option really was the fix for your VT 
switching problems.
As you said, it was not, as your problems had been caused by your custom 
Xmodmap...


Anyway, now we do a least know, that the VBERestore Option (set to false) 
really prevents X server crashes, while switching VT's.
Branden you might want do undo "SVN commit: r1147 - trunk/debian"( the bug 
closer), as the change to the i830 part of the i810 driver has nothing to do 
with this Bug (IMHO).

i830 driver still not reserving memory (4.3.0-5)

2004-03-15 Thread Mark Zimmerman
Greetings:

I am running a mixed testing/unstable setup on a Dell system with the
Intel 865G onboard graphics device. I installed the latest Xfree86
packages 4.3.0-5 and everything works fine with one exception: I still
need to run the 865patch program to reserve video memory prior to
starting the X server. The changelog comments in xserver-xfree86
incicate that this should no longer be the case.

Since no one else is complaining about this I am posting my config and
log files in case someone can spot a misconfiguration before I submit
a bug report.

I am running kernel 2.6.3, here are some lines from dmesg:

Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones

Welcome to my hell.  :-/

Let's see if this one bounces, since it's been a couple of more days.

If it does, let's just close the report.

That sounds like an interesting thing to know for the pending debconfage
rewrite.

Thanks for pointing this out, Mr. Shah.

Dear bug submitter,

Since this bug has been reassigned to xserver-xfree86, and the XFree86 X
server is a large and complex piece of software, some more informtion is
required of you before this bug can be handled.  Please run the
following commands from a shell prompt to gather and deliver this
information to us:

$ /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 > /tmp/output 3>&1
$ mailx -s "Re: Bug#237717" [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /tmp/output

If you do not have a "mailx" command on your system, you can get by
installing the "mailx" Debian package; for example, with the "aptitude
install mailx" or "apt-get install mailx" commands as root.  Alternatively,
you can also use a mail command that is compatible with mailx's
command-line syntax, such as "mutt".

Thank you!

I didn't know the Netscape Font HOWTO said that; I made the decision to
have xinit and xdm default to 100dpi for a few reasons:

1) the 100dpi fonts looked better;
2) some drivers back in XFree86 3.3.6 would calculate the dpi for
   themselves, but the rotten font rasterizers distributed with X at
   that time would result in truly illegible glyphs;
3) in my experience, most users were using display modes for their
   monitors that were far closer to 100dpi (often exceeding it) than
   75dpi; and
4) the 100dpi defaults are manifest only in conffiles, so if people
   think I'm a wrong and evil person for going with 100dpi, they can
   always change it (see the Debian X FAQ[1] for more on this).

I do admit that Xft is driving a nail through #1, and XFree86 4.x has
probably rendered #2 moot.

Nevertheless, I haven't changed my thinking on this quite yet.  IMO, the
ideal fix is to add a "-softdpi" option to the X server, which is *only*
used if the underlying driver is unable to figure out a DPI by querying
the monitor (and if the DisplaySize configuration keyword is not used in
XF86Config-4).

If implemented, I absolutely would switch the conffiles to using that
instead of -dpi.

Because this decision is a judgement call, I am tagging the bug
"wontfix" instead of closing it.

Hopefully my reasoning is clear to you, even if you do not agree with my
conclusion.

Thanks for your report.

It's rather the other way around: analog connector implies treatment as

Dear Christian,

I think that the VBERestore option was put in by Dawes because the 
earlier fix for 845G chipsets like mine was making problems for older 
830 chipsets.  So only 830 chipset users really need to worry about 
that option.  It's default is "false", which is just fine for my 
chipset and probably all ones later than 830.

Just for the record, in case someone out there has similar problems, 
here is what happened in my case:

(1) The initial update 4.2.1-->4.3.0 caused my C-A-F1 combo to stop 
working.
(2) After some futzing around, I filed a bug against xserver-xfree86.
(3) Sometime later, an incremental update of 4.3.0 was made.  But, on 
the same day, the update of kde-3.1 to kde-3.2 was made.  The result 
was that my C-A-F1 started working again.
(4) I was delighted, and filed a bug-fixed comment to my earlier bug.
(5) Then I notice that my remapping of the keyboard to make the 
diamond keys act as forward-delete was now not working.
(6) I found that the kde-3.2 no longer had lines 
in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup to call xmodmap and remap the keyboard.  So, 
I added those lines back.
(7) Now I found that my diamond keys were working, but that C-A-F1 was 
broken again.  
(8) Finally the light dawned.  I backed out the lines to call  
xmodmap.  Then I did xmodmap -pke > xmodmap-new.  Then I made the 
modifications about the diamond keys in the file xmodmap-new 
and moved it to /etc/X11/Xmodmap.  Then I put back the lines in 
/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup to call xmodmap and use /etc/X11/Xmodmap as the 
new xmodmap.  
(9) Now everything works OK. 

It is entirely possible that the INITIAL update to 4.3.0 already 
solved whatever problems exist with the 845G chipset.  After all, I 
was able to use chvt 1 to change to vt1 and A-F7 to change back.  
When I put Option "VBERestore" "true" in XF86Config-4 I do find that 
switching back from vt1 to vt7 is broken.  So disabling Dawes's fix 
does indeed break my 845G system, so the fix is doing something for 
me.  I just don't know which Debain update was the first to have  
that fix in it.  Probably the first one, but I can't be sure.

Thanks for your patience.  And I still thank you guys for the frequent 
updates.

I'm not sure, if even XFree86 4.4 can work around all broken Dell
Bioses...

Well you could give it try:
Basically, it should be sufficient to replace the following files
(make a backup of the old ones)
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libscanpci.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o

with those found at http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/drivers/x86/ 

See, if it works better then...

Oh, I see.  :-)  No, I only had the one section.

setxkbmap is part of xbase-clients. kcontrol uses it, so if setxkbmap has no 
effect either, it is clearly not a kcnotrol problem

setxkbmap has a man page, which admittedly isnt very verbose about the actual
options syntax.

This is right.

If setxkbmap has no effect, kcontrol should not display those buttons,
or provide better explanations on what they do.

I do not know what kcontrol is supposed to do, but AFAICT CapsLock can
not be emulated as on typewriters.  The 'Shift cancels Caps' idiom means
that Shift+Caps prints lowercase letters (roughly); when Shift is
released, CapsLock is still locked.
