error while closing connection
i get the following error when i call XCloseDisplay(dpy) at the end of a program (dpy is a valid display) received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 85 error_code 2 request_code 18 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) does anybody know what it can be due to? ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Subject: Problems with DMC touch screen driver (FIT-10 controller).
I have a problem with the DMC touch screen driver. Almost everything is working fine except clicking a button. I think the reason is that XFree86 doesnt get a ButtonRelease event after releasing the button (touch screen). I conclude this from the events that occur. Example nr1: If I push a button, the button keeps pushed-down until I push on another location. Normally with a mouse you push the left mouse button and if you dont release the left mouse button, the button on the screen will be pushed down. Example nr2: If I want to drag a window I push and hold the window and drag it over the screen. When I release the window (I stop pushing the touch screen) I can move the window by using a mouse without touching any buttons from the mouse. I think XFree86 didnt get a ButtonRelease event because it is still reacting like someone pushed and hold the left button to drag a window. Physically nobody is touching the buttons from the mouse or touching the touch screen.

Re: Someone has re-implemented ucs2any.pl in C
I'd be more than happy to finish off the final touches, test it on all bdf fonts I've got available, and compare the output against ucs2any.pl if it would be useful to XFree86 project or anyone else. My C version can process all fonts in one pass and spit out multiple encodings all at once, instead of being invoked hundreds of times. I wrote it like that as I figured it might give an additional speedup not having to fork and exec from a shell script constantly. I did much the same thing about the same time and dropped it for the same reason :) But I would LOVE to see this done in C. Right now, on my dual P3/500 at least, it takes almost as much time to go through the zillions of ucs2any invocations as it does to build the hw/xfree86 directory. It certainly is a considerable part of the build time and part of the problem is perl and part of it is the huge number of invocations. I for one would be VERY glad to see this fixed.

But MKFONTDIR is expanding to mkfontscale, which doesn't support these options. Thats becuase up at around line 1507 MKFONTDIR is being se to mkfontscale. Is that wrong? Was that a typo? Should it really be refering to mkfontdir there? Ok I see from the changelong that it shouldn't, that mkfontscale is now the Tool To Use. So just removing the -n -r from that line causes the build to succeed, but the server doesn't start after doing a make install. It fails saying it cant fine the font fixed. If I do to fonts/misc and run mkfontdir (which is now the wrapper script) then the server starts, but twm doesn't. Do I have to go to 75dpi/ and 100dpi/ and run mkfontdir and then it works. Strange thing is, the resulting fonts.dir is MUCH smaller in 75dpi than what comes out of the build. Same in misc/.

Also, I dont think this addresses the issue of fonts.alias not being read. Seems like mkfontdir uses the FontFile library, which handles this. mkfontscasle doesn't (at least at a cursory glance).

imake template to install files from a third directory
Hi list, I am unable to find a template to create a rule to install files from a directory which does not have a makefile itself. I need to process some files matching a mask (e.g. somedir/*.xpm) without having to list them all in a makefile. There is an InstallMultiple(list,dest) macro, but it takes a file list as an argument, so that's exactly what I want to avoid. I believe that this is quite a general task, so I dare to propose a new template. Please see the attached patch.
