XFree86 4.0.1 on PowerPC status update #2

2000-12-09 Thread Branden Robinson
I've got a patch that successfully fixes the too-clever hack in libXft involing va_lists. However, unfortunately, some things in the XFree86 tree (the Wacom input module, at least) build differently on kernel 2.4 systems than they do on 2.2 systems. More to the point, building xf86Wacom.c flat ou

locale names in glibc and XFree86

2000-12-09 Thread Branden Robinson
Some folks have been reporting problems of this kind: Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C This happens because glibc's idea of canonical locale names differs from XFree86's. For instance, "en_US.iso-8859-1" is recognized by glibc but not by XFree86. XFree86 uses the following

2000-12-09 Thread Cajus Pollmeier
Hi! Me again, asking some nerving questions ;-) Since the system I'm trying to set up is equipped with a touchscreen, a mousepointer makes no sence, too. I tried to disable it via "xsetroot -cursor path_to_empty_bitmap path_to_mask" but this works only for the X background. Placing the mouse cur
