--- Begin Message ---Package: videogen Version: 0.32-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch This script doesn't seem to be updated very frequently. There are a few issues which are fixed in the attached patch: * a reference to XF86Config(-4) * it fails silently when dialog, whiptail, and gdialog aren't installed * the DEF_MINSYNC variable is ignored * the logic to check for MINSYNC out of range is wrong and incomplete * spelling mistake (choosen) * inconsistent command indentation Not fixed here: Most recent LCD monitors support "reduced blank" modes which can be generated with the cvt(1) command. They may be needed instead of the modes produced by videogen to obtain good refresh rates with high resolution modes on low end video cards. It would be nice if it were also packaged and this script could call it too. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.28 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages videogen depends on: ii bc 1.06-20 The GNU bc arbitrary precision cal ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries videogen recommends no packages. -- no debconf information The patch: --- /usr/bin/some_modes 2006-08-23 06:35:16.000000000 -0700 +++ some_modes 2009-09-09 16:47:00.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/bash # +-----------------------------------------------------------+ # | | -# | use this script to generate some mode lines automatically | +# | Use this script to generate some mode lines automatically | # | with videogen. | # | | # | (c) Szabolcs Rumi, 1997-2001 | @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ # you may change this to the location of the videogen program VIDEOGEN="${VIDEOGEN=videogen} -f=/dev/null" + # set this to the maximum dot clock your video card can generate [MHz] DOTCLOCK="225" DEF_DOTCLOCK=$DOTCLOCK @@ -27,34 +28,40 @@ MINSYNC="0.5" DEF_MINSYNC="0.5" +# set this to emit mode lines compatible with the non-free NVidia driver NVIDIA="yes" -# load our settings + +# load your previous settings if test -f ~/.videogenrc ; then -. ~/.videogenrc + . ~/.videogenrc fi if test -z "$DIALOG" ; then which dialog > /dev/null && DIALOG=dialog which whiptail > /dev/null && DIALOG=whiptail - which gdialog > /dev/null && DIALOG=gdialog + which gdialog > /dev/null && DIALOG=gdialog +fi +if test -z "$DIALOG" ; then + echo "$0: no dialog program found, unable to continue" 1>&2 + exit 1 fi # The dialog part -#DIALOG=${DIALOG=whiptail} tempfile=`tempfile 2>/dev/null` || tempfile=/tmp/test$$ trap "rm -f $tempfile" 0 1 2 5 15 $DIALOG \ - --title "GENERAL WARNING" --clear --yesno \ + --title "GENERAL WARNING" --clear --yesno \ "WARNING!
