Re: broken xcalib

[Florian Wille]

Hello List,

this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851810

got fixed here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104098

can this be backported, so "xcalib -ia" can be used again to invert colors?

'xcalib -ia' is used for accessibilty needs to invert the screen, e.g.

its broken or X is, depends on how you look at it:

Is there any way to get this fixed? This bug is just sitting there for

I was about to do the same.

Seems like this package can have some love. If anybody can find a patch,
I'll do the (political) work to get it in.


Does an upstream bug exist for this issue ?

Best regards.

Hi Florian,

default xorg configuration.
It should be solved for all the users indeed. I'll add the accessibility 
tag.


Best regards.
