That sounds exactly like what I'm seeing (running 2.6.27-rc3 here).
I'll test with an older kernel in the evening...

I've never worked with a Debian project before, but I've got a knowledge
of C and have been inside some small parts of X code before and run a
Debian-based distro of some kind on all the desktops, laptops, and
servers that I use or manage.  I would be willing to help out wherever
there is a need and I'm able.  Just let me know.

Thanks for your interest.  Finding a bug (for example starting from
http://bugs.debian.org/debian-x@lists.debian.org, or something that
affects you) in an area you're interested in, and tracking it down or
requesting more information from the submitter if needed, or forwarding
the bug upstream, would probably be a good starting point.

Cheers,
Julien

Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-2
Severity: wishlist

Hullo good people of Debian!

I looked about for this bug and, although it's not important, I wanted
to make sure that the establishment was aware of it.

I have read that Xorg is moving away from /etc/X11/xorg.conf
dependence in favour of automagic hardware detection.  This is super.

However, when I installed and configured Xorg on my laptop, Xorg
-configure failed to recognise or install the
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics TouchPad driver onto my machine,
favouring the generic 'mouse' driver instead.  Consequently, I had to
rewrite the xorg.conf file myself to enable the TouchPad driver
support.

I wish, therefore, for Xorg -configure to detect Synaptic TouchPads on
computers automatically and add whatever lines are necessary to
xorg.conf.

With thanks!

Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-2.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi, 

I deleted my xorg.conf to see how good the new autodetection software
works: like a charm, except one thing: the touchpad has no scrolling
enabled.

I think that the scrolling has to be enabled per default because it the
behaviour that most people expect.

My previous working xorg.conf had that:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver  "synaptics"
Option  "SendCoreEvents""true"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"  "auto-dev"
Option  "FastTaps"  "1"
Option  "SHMConfig" "true"
Option  "MinSpeed"  "0.6"
Option  "MaxSpeed"  "1.5"
EndSection

I can't get to know which part made the scrolling work, but with the
autoconfig, it doesn't.

Best regards, 

Didier

And if you want to learn a bit before jumping in, you should obviously
subscribe to debian-x@ and read what's happening (but things are calm
these days thanks to bug reporters being in vacation).

If you want to follow upstream's work, you can look at:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] for general discussion
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] for most commits
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] for upstream bugs
There are also some specific lists such as mesa*, xorg-driver-ati,
intel-gfx, ...

Also, it might be interesting to know what hardware you own. We mostly
have some intel and ati boards on x86 architectures. It's always nice to
have somebody who can test some non-trivial driver or architecture
instead of blindly uploading :)

Bug#495539: compiz-core: compiz fails to start using fglrx driver: "No whitelisted driver found"

[Georg Hofmann]

Package: compiz-core
Version: 0.7.6-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch


Hello,

using fglrx driver for X and trying to launch compiz fails with message:
"No whitelisted driver found".

If there's no special reason for it, this could be fixed by just adding 
it to the WHITELIST in /usr/bin/compiz. See the attached patch.

Thanks,
Georg

the performance of compiz fusion on debian lenny with an intel 915

You should send your X config and log.

This is probably related to EXA, and I think Ubuntu changed the default
EXA migration, it might explain why the behavior is slightly different.
