Package: xbase-clients Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Followup-For: Bug #270887 If you try to invoke X like this:
$ startx -- -screen "Some Screen" or $ startx -- -layout "Some Layout" where "Some Screen" and "Some Layout" are IDs of some screen or layout as defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it will fail, due to the way that startx processes arguments. The previous poster attached a patch that could be trivially extended to cover the code that parses server arguments in 'startx'. Nevertheless, if the default names at /etc/X11/xorg.conf where more like default_screen, or default_layout (no spaces), at least the server related section of the bug would be alleviated, and, for that matter, the incantation would be easier to type. [eight years using debian and this is my first bug report, shame on me!] Thanks for the hard work, guys. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-rc5 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdmx1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Distributed Multihead X client lib ii libdps1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Display PostScript (DPS) client li ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfs6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Font Server library ii libglu1-xorg [libglu1] 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Mesa OpenGL utility library [X.Org ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System Session Management ii libxau6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Authentication library ii libxaw8 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Athena widget set library ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System multi-head display ii libxkbfile1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Keyboard Extension file parsing ii libxkbui1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Keyboard Extension user interfac ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxmuu1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 lightweight X Window System miscel ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X pixmap library ii libxrandr2 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Screen Saver client-side library ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii libxtrap6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System protocol-trapping ii libxtst6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System event recording an ii libxv1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System video extension li ii libxxf86dga1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Direct Graphics Access extension ii libxxf86misc1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X miscellaneous extensions library ii libxxf86vm1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Video Mode selection library ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Mesa 3D graphics library [X.Org] ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client data ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-8 compression library - runtime xbase-clients recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Pancho Horrillo To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
