Is there really a module "modesetting"? Isn't it an aspect of the 
driver? And doesn't the kernel parameter turn it "on"?

'modesetting' here refers to xf86-video-modesetting which is the minimal
driver to enable X to run on top of a KMS device. Similar in nature to
vesa (and fbdev), it is unaccelerated but allows the full range of video
modes exposed by the device.
-Chris



Forgive the stupid question, but do you need the modesetting module to 
access KMS if you're using i915?

Has mark and paste died?

2013-02-07 Thread sean darcy
On Fedora 18, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.2-1.fc18.x86_64, xfce-4.10.0. 
synaptics touchpad driver.


I can't get paint and paste to work. That is, I can't mark some text, 
and then double click to paste it. At first, I thought the synaptics 
driver wasn't generating a middle button event when I double clicked.


But I ran xev, and it does generate a middle button (button 2) event.

I ran xev. Clicked once with the left button, once with the right 
button, once with both:


ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x441,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91740290, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x441,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91740387, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES

ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x441,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91748022, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x441,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91748068, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES

ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x441,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91754379, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x0, button 2, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x441,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91754555, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x200, button 2, same_screen YES

you can see the synaptics driver is sending "button 2" events for a 
double click.


Yet a double click acts just like a right click(button 3), bringing up a 
properties dialog.


Has X behavior changed? Could something else be grabbing the button events?
