do XFree86 accept XIM projects?
Hello. I'm zhangweiwu from the minichinput project. This is the first time I post to this list, so please forgive me if I posted to the wrong list. To be brief: minichinput is a Chinese input method server. Can XFree86 accept minichinput as its subproject? Minichinput is one of the most widely used *nix input server among the simplified Chinese users (or at least I think so). Linux distros like RedHat and Turbolinux adopted minichinput as the default input server. minichinput handles both GB, Big5 and UTF8, it is lightweighted, doesn't rely on gtk/qt. Who/what list should I contact if I wish to make minichinput a subproject of XFree86, and release as part of it? Do XFree86 accept this kind of subprojects? Thank you. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Re: Questions regarding gdb on Solaris/SPARC
On Tue, 10 Feb 2004, Matt Prazak wrote: Partly out of curiosity and partly out of a desire for XFree86's GTK+ XInput support, I'm trying to see how difficult/practical it would be to get the XFree86 sunffb driver working under Solaris/SPARC. So far, XFree86 will simply report that it finds no screens even when using a working config file pulled from a Debian/SPARC install, and I quickly found that gdb isn't very helpful for stepping into the sunffb module to see what's happening. There seems to be some spotty documentation regarding special patches for gdb, so: 1) Are the patches available for enabling module debugging in gdb known to work well under Solaris/SPARC? Are there known caveats? 2) Are there recent developments regarding these patches (e.g., supporting more recent versions of gdb, etc.)? 3) How about Sun's dbx? I don't have a license for it , but I'm curious about anyone's experiences with it with respect to XFree86. I might be able to get a 60-day trial for dbx, but it would obviously be of limited use. Also, I found that I had to disable set-uid on the XFree86 executable before gdb would do anything meaningful (otherwise it reports errors about procfs). This appears to have already been reported to the gdb project, at least according to Google Groups. The XFree86 should be debugged as root. It is also easier to use a static binary generated with '#define DoLoadableServer NO' in xc/config/cf/host.def.

DocBook pre-Release Notes
Hi, I was going thru the Release Notes for 4.4 and I noticed that there are double commas in section 5,1 thru 5.4 where all the submitters names are. I also think the colon on the TOC after section 5 looks wild. Perhaps I am unfamiliar with the formatting of LinuxDoc but to me a colon should mean that the list directly follows, not that it points to a section. And btw, I like the little finger for a NOTE. Other than that John, I like it. ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Personally, I think having minichinput as it's own separate piece of software is the best thing to do. Everyone is currently trying to get rid of this massive monolithic source code tree which includes everything under the sun. It is easier to maintain applications like minichinput if it is it's own project, and it's easier to package, and to update. Having to recompile the entirity of XFree86 to fix a small bug in a single tiny application is going backwards IMHO. So, while I can't speak for the XFree86 project at all, and I'm definitely not trying to do so, I can at least give you my viewpoint from a distribution engineering perspective. We will continue to ship minichinput as a separately packaged rpm package that is not included with the XFree86 sources, even if the XFree86 project were to include it in their tarball, much in the same way that we now currently ship xterm as a separate package. Other distribution X maintainers that I am in contact with daily on IRC share this sentiment generally, and look forward to having more modular X sources to deal with in the future as well. Note that this is not to discourage your idea in any way, but rather just to indicate that it wont be useful to everyone out there for this to be included directly in XFree86. It may however benefit other OSs and distributions which XFree86 supports which may not already ship minichinput, such as commercial proprietary OSs however. Hope this feedback is useful.

I will publish a fix in about an hour. 2) The semi-colon in the TOC is just following mimicing from the official CVS version. titleNew Features, Enhancements and Updates:/title. 3) The graphics are standard DocBook graphics. I have seen some others for tip/note/warning/caution/next/previous/home/up that are much prettier than the standard issue DocBook ones, but the license prohibits their usage (GPL or GFDL). If you know a good graphics artist/designer, you can do some good stuff. For an example, you might look at https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ch- intro.html. Again there are licensing restrictions with these, but they show what can be done. John ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
