I understand that. Someone asked about this a while back, and I seem to recall that it also requires (besides the simple change to charproc.c) some tinking in util.c (which didn't look as simple). -- Thomas E.

Bug#299622: xserver-xfree86: dpkg-reconfigure does not create /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Hi Andreas, I'm not sure, but did you try to do the thing discribed in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (in file header) In fact, if you had already modified this file without dpkg-reconfigure, you have to do the followings : cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 > /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 I hope this helps.

Dickey > http://invisible-island.net > ftp://invisible-island.net Ok. Just skimming through util.c: there is a recolor_cursor routine which probably explains why my cursor changes color under colored text. I'm not sure what else would have to change -- the rest seems fundamental to drawing text, scrolling and what not (which still works on my patched version). One thing that would also change is xtermSetCursorBox in fontutils.c, right now it still draws the hollow block around the underline and looks a little strange when I lose focus. Not too sure what to make it though, maybe a vertical bar? -Mar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Severity: wishlist I want to select an alternative font at startup. Now I have to do Shift-KP_Add twice every time I open an xterm or uxterm. I would want one of these (or similar): xterm -xrm '*vt100*defaultFont: 5' or xterm -xrm '*vt100*initialFont: 5' or xterm --send-event 'set-vt-font(5)' to work.

Bug#255749: xterm: Dies with segmentation fault
Hi, I can't reproduce the described problem here at all. Could you possibly provide some more information, for example these 2 files: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color since these were the last 2 config files read by xterm.

Dickey > http://invisible-island.net > ftp://invisible-island.net Yeah, I'm using that right now and it looks fine, except, I think a HideCursor needs to be added somewhere b/c I get a box _and_ a underline when I loose focus. For normal and below font sizes the box overwrites the underline and looks fine, but for large and above the underline is inside the box. -Mar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Why does X in Debian hot have hardware detection?
Hi, I upgraded my laptop today from a T23 Thinkpad to a T42 Thinkpad. Our laptop support copied over the content of the hard disk and rebooted and everything worked fine, except X. I did an X -configure and adjusted in the config file the default color depth manually. After that everything was operational again. Colleagues running on windows typically do a fresh install in such a situation. I am just wondering, why X does not use automatic hardware detaction like Knoppix and other Debian derivates are doing? Or did I just miss to switch this feature on for X?? Many thanks for the great distribution.

Yes, I can change *vt100*font and *vt100*font2-6. But can't specify, without changing them, which one to use at startup. (Or do I? I found nothing in the docs.) (Note that the resource strings mentioned in my original message, or the parameter, don't exist.) There is a feature, the resource string "*tex4014*initialFont", which (according to the documentation) does what I want, but to some mysterious 'Tektronix window'. I would like to have the same feature in the VT100 window. Thanks for your attention. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I understood that, but did not focus on the 'initialFont' part, since xterm's default font is one of 6 fonts it has available. On startup, xterm -xrm '*VT100.font:9x15' specifies the default font, which is the initial font. A little script starting with appres XTerm |fgrep '*VT100*font' would retrieve the font settings for the various font resources. > There is a feature, the resource string "*tex4014*initialFont", which > (according to the documentation) does what I want, but to some mysterious > 'Tektronix window'.

Bug#254565: xserver-xfree86: [savage] two cursors display
I can also confirm this problem on an IBM Thinkpad T21. The problem is clearly related to the Hardware Cursor (since adding Option "SWCursor" "true" to the XF86Config-4 solves the problem). As mentioned in the Savage(4) Manual Page [1], this option should be enabled by default "On Savage/MX and Savage/IX chips which are connected to LCDs", obviously it is not being enabled by default, otherwise you would probably not be seeing all of these messages. ;) I attached the output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 > /tmp/output 3>&1 (with the SWCursor option disabled, so you can see it fail to switch to SWCursor mode). I have also attached the output from lspci to assist in specifically identifying the card. Note: I am using kernel 2.6.10, with the Debian patches applied, and have the "Enable DDC2 Support" (CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE_I2C) suboption of the S3 Savage Support compiled into the kernel (as well as the Savage driver). The description mentions that this option is used to get EDID information from the attached display... I do not know if it is related, just a thought I had. If there is any other information that I can provide, I would be happy to do so. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the XFree86 drivers, so I will probably not be much help in patching the code, but feel free to ask if there is something that you think I can do to help.
