Bug#202323: new versions of xterm are available

But there are new versions on http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ with bug fixes (at least one that was fixed more than one year ago, in the 2002-03-25 version, and that is still there in the Debian version). Debian's xterm package is drawn from the corresponding XFree86 release. This may change in the future. xterm #177 is already included with the 4.3.0 debs; though it may be completely split out later, as Branden hinted out. Chris Lee (another KDE hacker) and possibly myself (time constraints make my involvement very iffy), are working to make the XFree86 build system a little more modular in general. -- Daniel Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kde.org - http://www.debian.org - http://www.xwin.org Configurability is always the best choice when it's pretty simple to implement -- Havoc Pennington, gnome-list pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The Graphic Card is: GeForce 4 MX440 (64MB AGP), I think nvidia is the correct driver, or? The monitor is a 1280x1024 LCD. my XFree86.0.log is attached to this mail. [The following is a form letter.] Hello, You recently sent an off-charter message to the debian-x mailing list. First, I will offer an explanation of what this mailing list's purpose is; I will then suggest some alternative forums for your message or concern. The full charter of the mailing list follows. This list is for the discussion and support of the X Window System within Debian. Issues of maintenance and porting of Debian's XFree86 packages are germane here, as are discussions of possible Debian policy mechanisms for ensuring the smooth interoperation of packages that use the X Window System, particularly widget sets, desktop environments, window managers, display managers, and packages that provide fonts for the X Window System. In particular, individuals involved with building official Debian XFree86 packages for any architecture are invited to join, as are those with various graphics hardware who seek to reproduce and/or fix bugs in the X server. This is not a user support list; this list is intended for those who deal with the source code of any of the X Window System components mentioned above. If you are experiencing a problem, the first thing to check is the Debian X FAQ. This FAQ is available on the World Wide Web: http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/FAQ The FAQ is also available on any Debian system that has the xfree86-common package installed. You can use the command dpkg --status xfree86-common at a shell prompt to determine whether you have the xfree86-common package installed (this technique works with any other package name as well). For instance, when I run this command I see the following: $ dpkg --status xfree86-common Package: xfree86-common Status: install ok installed (followed by additional information about the package) If xfree86-common is installed, you can view the Debian X FAQ in a variety of ways, since it is a gzipped (compressed) text file. The path to the FAQ is /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz. Here's one method for viewing it: $ zmore /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz Debian X Window System Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List Copyright 1998-2002 Branden Robinson. This document is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 (see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL). By its nature, this document is not complete. If your question is not answered here, try /usr/share/doc/packagename/README.Debian (and other files in the package's doc directory), manual pages, and the debian-user mailing list.

I also feel that the licensing statement is too vague; it's probably better to put the manpage under an explicit MIT/X Consortium-style license. However, I can't fault the technical content, so with a little massage from a nitpicky person like me, it should be good for an upstream patch. Thanks a lot.

The British variant of the Macintosh keyboard layout on my Powerbook has
one fairly annoying problem: the keyboard has no # on it. The way Apple
solves this is to make meta-3 generate #.
(I'm at debcamp if you want to examine this directly.)
I don't recall that we did, but...
1) Do you have an AltGr key? Does it work?
2) If so, please replace your /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/gb with the attached
file and let me know if that works.
3) According to the 4.2.1 gb symbols file, you get a numbersign keysym
by pressing the key that is located where the backslash key is on a
U.S. keyboard (it's not an ISO-standardized key location, apparently,
so XFree86 just calls it BKSL.). Again according to the file,
this key should also be engraved with a tilde, so SHIFT-# should get
you ~. Is this correct?
I haven't sorted my pictures from DebCamp/DebConf yet, so I don't know
if I took a picture of a UK keyboard yet.

No, so obviously not. 3) According to the 4.2.1 gb symbols file, you get a numbersign keysym by pressing the key that is located where the backslash key is on a U.S. keyboard (it's not an ISO-standardized key location, apparently, so XFree86 just calls it BKSL.). Again according to the file, this key should also be engraved with a tilde, so SHIFT-# should get you ~. Is this correct? No. I haven't sorted my pictures from DebCamp/DebConf yet, so I don't know if I took a picture of a UK keyboard yet. The UK Powerbook keyboard is a bit different to a standard UK keyboard (although perhaps not a UK Apple keyboard). I also ought to note that there's a dead key on the keyboard - between the left shift and Z is a key engraved ` with ~ above it which does nothing. At the top left below ESC and next to 1 is a key with a +- sign as the shifted character and a § as the unshifted one (kind of a S with an o through it if it doesn't come through OK). All the other keys on the keyboard function as expected. -- You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

(Especially heard from KDE users with large monitors, many workspaces, and a different picture in the root window of each workspace.) Answer courtesy of Mark Vojkovich of the XFree86 Project, Inc.: The X Window System is a client-server window system. The memory for pixmap data resides on the server side instead of the client side. If you have 8 1600x1200 32bpp root window images that's 61 Megabytes. It resides in the server instead of the client, unless they are shared memory pixmaps, in which case it will be counted on both the server and client side. Obviously this data has to be stored someplace. It's not like it can just disappear when you're not using it. If they were stored on the client side instead, people would be complaining about KDE memory usage. Additionally, Sean McGlynn of the KDE Project offered assistance: Please direct such users over to KDE's mailing lists - http://www.kde.org/mailinglists.html - and we can try and investigate/resolve their issues fully. David B. Harris of Debian also has these remarks: Something worth noting is also the concept of leaking. This will be a term familiar to some and unknown to others. Basically, as processes run they may dynamically allocate memory for some purpose or other. If they allocate some memory, but never *de-allocate* it, even after they're done using it, then over time the memory used by that process will increase. Since hardware/video drivers in XFree86 are responsible for some of this allocation and de-allocation, a badly-written driver can increase the memory used by the XFree86 process. The closed-source nVidia drivers are particularily bad for this; I've seen XFree86 memory usage triple during a week-long session. Keep in mind that this isn't the end of the world. Unless it's an extremely badly-written driver, memory allocated by the driver which doesn't get de-allocated (but stops being actively used) will be swapped out. So the amount of physical RAM the XFree86 process will use won't increase much (if at all) due to these drivers. And finally, these remarks from Mike A. Harris of Red Hat Software: I'd like to add to that another frequently reported problem of XFree86 consuming a lot of memory. Many people report X uses 64Mb+ of memory and can't see any reason why it should. They blame X for being bloated, etc. Digging into it more however, 99 times out of 100, they are using the output of top or procps or similar utility do show how much memory XFree86 is consuming. Unfortunately, the memory reported as used in top/ps output is interpreted solely as being system RAM and/or swap, and that is very misleading as it is not true. The memory shown by top, which users are misled into believing is memory used up by X, is an amalgamation of the video card's own memory, and memory mapped I/O regions, as well as the actual memory used by the X server, pixmaps, and various other things. It is not at all uncommon for a modern 64Mb video card, to have X's memory usage appear to be 100Mb or more, when in reality, 64Mb of that is video RAM, and 16-32Mb possibly mmapped registers. Most developers such as ourselves are aware of this, however most end-users are not. On Linux a user can view the memory map breakdown by logging in as root and looking at the file: cat /proc/$(pidof X)/maps That gives a fairly detailed breakdown of the memory map of the X server process, and what actual amount of memory is being used, etc. The exact meaning of the contents of the proc maps file is left as an exercise for the curious reader. ;o) Reading the kernel sources which implement it is about the best manual I know of. -- The hang is probably a bug, but your use of top to diagnose the problem does not elucidate the situation, for the reasons explained above. -- G.

I don't recall that we did, but... No, we didn't unfortunately. Hmm, damn. 1) Do you have an AltGr key? Does it work? No, so obviously not. Okay. 3) According to the 4.2.1 gb symbols file, you get a numbersign keysym by pressing the key that is located where the backslash key is on a U.S. keyboard (it's not an ISO-standardized key location, apparently, so XFree86 just calls it BKSL.). Again according to the file, this key should also be engraved with a tilde, so SHIFT-# should get you ~. Is this correct? No. Yeah, that gb symbols file is obviously not a good fit for your keyboard. I haven't sorted my pictures from DebCamp/DebConf yet, so I don't know if I took a picture of a UK keyboard yet. The UK Powerbook keyboard is a bit different to a standard UK keyboard (although perhaps not a UK Apple keyboard). I also ought to note that there's a dead key on the keyboard - between the left shift and Z is a key engraved ` with ~ above it which does nothing. On a US keyboard (Macintosh or otherwise), that key appears to the immediate left of the 1/! key. XFree86 calls that keycap TLDE and it scans with keycode 49. (See /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86.) At the top left below ESC and next to 1 is a key with a +- sign as the shifted character and a § as the unshifted one (kind of a S with an o through it if it doesn't come through OK). That's called a section sign. I can't remember ever seeing a keycap like that before. Can you tell me what scancode that key produces? You can use xev to determine this. -- G.

This list is for the discussion and support of the X Window System within Debian. Issues of maintenance and porting of Debian's XFree86 packages are germane here, as are discussions of possible Debian policy mechanisms for ensuring the smooth interoperation of packages that use the X Window System, particularly widget sets, desktop environments, window managers, display managers, and packages that provide fonts for the X Window System. In particular, individuals involved with building official Debian XFree86 packages for any architecture are invited to join, as are those with various graphics hardware who seek to reproduce and/or fix bugs in the X server. This is not a user support list; this list is intended for those who deal with the source code of any of the X Window System components mentioned above. If you are experiencing a problem, the first thing to check is the Debian X FAQ. This FAQ is available on the World Wide Web: http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/FAQ The FAQ is also available on any Debian system that has the xfree86-common package installed. You can use the command dpkg --status xfree86-common at a shell prompt to determine whether you have the xfree86-common package installed (this technique works with any other package name as well). For instance, when I run this command I see the following: $ dpkg --status xfree86-common Package: xfree86-common Status: install ok installed (followed by additional information about the package) If xfree86-common is installed, you can view the Debian X FAQ in a variety of ways, since it is a gzipped (compressed) text file.

If you are not subscribed, make *certain* that you ask for private copies of replies to your message. Debian's standard practice is to reply only to mailing lists (this cuts down on Internet traffic and annoying bounce messages). If you want people to deviate from this standard practice you should ask them to do so.

Finally, if you have found a problem in Debian's XFree86 packages (and especially if Debian experts on one or more of the above mailing lists agree), you should file a bug report with the Debian Bug Tracking System.

Any feedback you could give would help me improve this man page and help me in writing ones for xkbvleds and xkbwatch. It looks pretty good, except for the fact that it's written in post-processed format. I also feel that the licensing statement is too vague; it's probably better to put the manpage under an explicit MIT/X Consortium-style license. However, I can't fault the technical content, so with a little massage from a nitpicky person like me, it should be good for an upstream patch. Thanks a lot.

This FAQ is available on the World Wide Web: http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/FAQ The FAQ is also available on any Debian system that has the xfree86-common package installed. You can use the command dpkg --status xfree86-common at a shell prompt to determine whether you have the xfree86-common package installed (this technique works with any other package name as well). For instance, when I run this command I see the following: $ dpkg --status xfree86-common Package: xfree86-common Status: install ok installed (followed by additional information about the package) If xfree86-common is installed, you can view the Debian X FAQ in a variety of ways, since it is a gzipped (compressed) text file. The path to the FAQ is /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz. Here's one method for viewing it: $ zmore /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz Debian X Window System Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List Copyright 1998-2002 Branden Robinson. This document is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 (see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL). By its nature, this document is not complete. If your question is not answered here, try /usr/share/doc/packagename/README.Debian (and other files in the package's doc directory), manual pages, and the debian-user mailing list. See http://www.debian.org/ for more information about the Debian mailing lists. (followed by the rest of the FAQ) If the FAQ does not satisfactorily answer your question, the primary Debian users' support forum is the debian-user mailing list. You can learn more about this list at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ If you have already tried that mailing list, and/or your machine does *NOT* use an Intel-x86 compatible CPU (such as a Pentium or AMD Athlon chip), you may also want to peruse one of Debian's architecture-specific mailing lists: http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-m68k/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-superh/ Before sending a message to one of the mailing lists, it's wise to try using the search interface; in many cases, your problem has been experienced before by other people, and a solution, workaround, or explanation may already be available! http://lists.debian.org/search.html If the search engine turns up nothing, you should know whether or not you're subscribed to a mailing list before sending a message to it. If you are not subscribed, make *certain* that you ask for private copies of replies to your message. Debian's standard practice is to reply only to mailing lists (this cuts down on Internet traffic and annoying bounce messages). If you want people to deviate from this standard practice you should ask them to do so. (Advanced mail users should set a Mail-Followup-To header that includes both the list address and their own address.) Finally, if you have found a problem in Debian's XFree86 packages (and especially if Debian experts on one or more of the above mailing lists agree), you should file a bug report with the Debian Bug Tracking System. One of the best ways to do this is with the reportbug package and command of the same name. One way to install reportbug is with apt-get; for example: # apt-get install reportbug The reportbug command has a few different modes that cater to different levels of user expertise. If this message has contained a lot of jargon that is unfamiliar to you, you likely want to use reportbug's novice mode; here's one way to do that. $

Bug#201737: No # on UK Powerbook keyboard
On Thu, Jul 17, 2003 at 04:19:41PM +0200, Mark Brown wrote:
The British variant of the Macintosh keyboard layout on my Powerbook has
one fairly annoying problem: the keyboard has no # on it. The way Apple
solves this is to make meta-3 generate #.
(I'm at debcamp if you want to examine this directly.)
I don't recall that we did, but...
1) Do you have an AltGr key? Does it work?
2) If so, please replace your /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/gb with the attached
file and let me know if that works.
3) According to the 4.2.1 gb symbols file, you get a numbersign keysym
by pressing the key that is located where the backslash key is on a
U.S. keyboard (it's not an ISO-standardized key location, apparently,
so XFree86 just calls it BKSL.). Again according to the file,
this key should also be engraved with a tilde, so SHIFT-# should get
you ~. Is this correct?
I haven't sorted my pictures from DebCamp/DebConf yet, so I don't know
if I took a picture of a UK keyboard yet.

No, so obviously not. 3) According to the 4.2.1 gb symbols file, you get a numbersign keysym by pressing the key that is located where the backslash key is on a U.S. keyboard (it's not an ISO-standardized key location, apparently, so XFree86 just calls it BKSL.). Again according to the file, this key should also be engraved with a tilde, so SHIFT-# should get you ~. Is this correct? No. I haven't sorted my pictures from DebCamp/DebConf yet, so I don't know if I took a picture of a UK keyboard yet. The UK Powerbook keyboard is a bit different to a standard UK keyboard (although perhaps not a UK Apple keyboard). I also ought to note that there's a dead key on the keyboard - between the left shift and Z is a key engraved ` with ~ above it which does nothing. At the top left below ESC and next to 1 is a key with a +- sign as the shifted character and a § as the unshifted one (kind of a S with an o through it if it doesn't come through OK). All the other keys on the keyboard function as expected. -- You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever.

Bug#202250: x-window-system:

(Especially heard from KDE users with large monitors, many workspaces, and a different picture in the root window of each workspace.) Answer courtesy of Mark Vojkovich of the XFree86 Project, Inc.: The X Window System is a client-server window system. The memory for pixmap data resides on the server side instead of the client side. If you have 8 1600x1200 32bpp root window images that's 61 Megabytes. It resides in the server instead of the client, unless they are shared memory pixmaps, in which case it will be counted on both the server and client side. Obviously this data has to be stored someplace. It's not like it can just disappear when you're not using it. If they were stored on the client side instead, people would be complaining about KDE memory usage. Additionally, Sean McGlynn of the KDE Project offered assistance: Please direct such users over to KDE's mailing lists - http://www.kde.org/mailinglists.html - and we can try and investigate/resolve their issues fully. David B. Harris of Debian also has these remarks: Something worth noting is also the concept of leaking. This will be a term familiar to some and unknown to others. Basically, as processes run they may dynamically allocate memory for some purpose or other. If they allocate some memory, but never *de-allocate* it, even after they're done using it, then over time the memory used by that process will increase. Since hardware/video drivers in XFree86 are responsible for some of this allocation and de-allocation, a badly-written driver can increase the memory used by the XFree86 process. The closed-source nVidia drivers are particularily bad for this; I've seen XFree86 memory usage triple during a week-long session. Keep in mind that this isn't the end of the world. Unless it's an extremely badly-written driver, memory allocated by the driver which doesn't get de-allocated (but stops being actively used) will be swapped out. So the amount of physical RAM the XFree86 process will use won't increase much (if at all) due to these drivers. And finally, these remarks from Mike A. Harris of Red Hat Software: I'd like to add to that another frequently reported problem of XFree86 consuming a lot of memory. Many people report X uses 64Mb+ of memory and can't see any reason why it should. They blame X for being bloated, etc. Digging into it more however, 99 times out of 100, they are using the output of top or procps or similar utility do show how much memory XFree86 is consuming. Unfortunately, the memory reported as used in top/ps output is interpreted solely as being system RAM and/or swap, and that is very misleading as it is not true. The memory shown by top, which users are misled into believing is memory used up by X, is an amalgamation of the video card's own memory, and memory mapped I/O regions, as well as the actual memory used by the X server, pixmaps, and various other things. It is not at all uncommon for a modern 64Mb video card, to have X's memory usage appear to be 100Mb or more, when in reality, 64Mb of that is video RAM, and 16-32Mb possibly mmapped registers. Most developers such as ourselves are aware of this, however most end-users are not. On Linux a user can view the memory map breakdown by logging in as root and looking at the file: cat /proc/$(pidof X)/maps That gives a fairly detailed breakdown of the memory map of the X server process, and what actual amount of memory is being used, etc. The exact meaning of the contents of the proc maps file is left as an exercise for the curious reader. ;o) Reading the kernel sources which implement it is about the best manual I know of. -- The hang is probably a bug, but your use of top to diagnose the problem does not elucidate the situation, for the reasons explained above. -- G.
