Looks like you built it against an old version of xserver-xorg-dev?

Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.8-1
Severity: normal

For a month or two now, I have noticed that if the active window I have 
in my xserver is a kmail message, and I switch out of GUI to a text 
console and then back to the GUI, the contents of my cut and paste
buffer end up being pasted in my email message.  This gets to be 
annoying after a while.

Bug#455515: please remove libmetacity0 (>= 1:2.15.21) shlibs override

2007-12-10 Thread Robert Millan
Package: compiz
Version: latest
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The libmetacity0 (>= 1:2.15.21) override in shlibs.local is AFAICT not
necessary.  Unless I got something wrong (from changelogs and your comments)
it's only there to workaround an incorrect abi bump, which is no longer an
issue on sid but prevents a backport to etch.

I've verified that the current sid package has a working compiz-gtk when
recompiled on etch (with other fixes unrelated to this one).

These two patches let compiz build with the libfuse version that shipped in

Bug#455539: please bring back the -core metapackage

2007-12-10 Thread Robert Millan
Package: xorg
Version: latest
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I just did some tests (setup a bare-bones sid system, and then installed
a working gnome/gdm/x11 environment by hand), and found that it is possible
to obtain a working gnome desktop by just installing the following X components
(and their dependencies):

  xserver-xorg, xfonts-base (>= 1:1.0.0-1), xfonts-100dpi (>= 1:1.0.0-1), 
xfonts-75dpi (>= 1:1.0.0-1), xfonts-scalable

(plus the dependencies dragged in by gdm and gnome-core, of course).

This really calls for an easy way to install the server and associated fonts
without having to type (and remember/figure out) the whole list.  Please, could
you bring back the -core metapackage we used to have, and set it up so that it
serves this purpose?  (i.e. install a basic X11 server without any clients)

I am using IceWM. I'll try to run gdb on the X server, but probably not

I saw this happening when I was doing some laptop/projector testing a
few weeks ago.  It seemed that sometimes it'd return EDID of one, and
sometimes the other.  It seemed to make a difference whether the
projector was attached during X start or not.

This opens a bigger question - how exactly does DDC handle multi-monitor
situations?  From what I could tell of xresprobe there's sort of a
single-monitor assumption woven in there, but I couldn't tell how deeply
that assumption goes.  I looked at docs for the DDC call, but it wasn't
very illuminating; my assembly-fu is not strong though, so I might have
missed something obvious.

Thanks for the link.

Of course, some of the companies picking Linux are doing so for cost
reasons (particularly in the embedded and educational areas), and
similar thinking also leads them to cheap low-end hardware options that
often include graphics chips that require the less mainstream drivers.
My thinking is that having TODO lists in our back pockets (in addition
to EOLing the drivers) would help here - if the company has already
proceeded too far and can no longer alter their hardware and OS version
choices, that would communicate the NRE work they'd need to fund.
Ideally, future companies will do research prior to settling on their
graphics chip choice, and would be able to use the TODO and EOL info to
assist in their selection criteria, and either select better maintained
options, or budget/arrange for the maintenance work.

Yeah, I don't understand this well myself. I've only skimmed the surface of
that code, but I should probably dive in to it soon to make sure I
understand it. Ideally the drivers will be ported over to randr1.2 and the
issue will be solved, but I'm not so optimistic on that one.

Bug#455682: This bug probably is the same as: http://bugs.debian.org/455310

2007-12-10 Thread Dietrich Bollmann
I generated the bug report with the `reportbug' tool indicating it as
another instance of #455310 in the hope that the backtrace of another
person might be helpful.  But probably using `reportbug' and than
indicating the original bug is not the right way to add information to a
bug report already existing? - Sorry for generating unnecessary work!

Thanks again, Dietrich
