[Bug 209145] Re: Evince couldnot display chinese pdf files

2008-11-20 Thread Alan Tam 
I am not sure why wlx can display both correctly.
I think the difference that one works and one doesn't is exactly equivalent to 
the upstream bug. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15301

Even a person who doesn't know Chinese is likely to tell the difference.
* http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=16318
* http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=16319

I noticed more people experiencing the same problem.
* http://linuxdesktop.cn/2007/11/27/xpdf.html
* http://www.linuxsir.org/bbs/thread259224.html

Comment 8 in the link has probably a correct diagnosis of the problem, pending 
to be fixed by upstream.
Using xpdf instead or recompiling poppler with splash backend seems to be 
workarounds.

[Bug 209145] Re: Evince couldnot display chinese pdf files

2008-11-08 Thread Alan Tam 
I can read the chinese after installing poppler-data in my intrepid
install (contrary to earlier reports).

Even though it works, I am dissatisfied with this solution, especially
since the name poppler-data is not meaningful enough. In fact, most
other X-data packages are direct/indirect dependency from the X
package. This induces us not to think the action installing poppler-
data will solve a problem in the poppler package.

It would be much better if it is called poppler-pdf-international-extra.

[Bug 32963] Xv movies on 810/i945 gives horrible color, Gamma

2007-03-21 Thread Alan Tam 
Public bug reported:

I bought a new desktop with a Foxconn 945G7MA-8EKRS2 motherboard [1].

I installed Dapper Flight 4 and bug 27180 occurred. I chose i810 and
results in a working X. However, whenever I play video, the colors are
distorted very much.

I tried with mplayer and found that if I switch the video driver from
xv to gl, then colors will be ok, but very slow. Of course, totem
won't let me switch the driver either --- Where has Multimedia System
Selector gone?

I cannot test using Breezy since it hangs somewhere during booting the
Live CD.

[Bug 88678] New tab crashes both gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal

2007-02-28 Thread Alan Tam 
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

It only occurs after the latest xorg upgrade available today.

Steps:
1. Run gnome-terminal (or xfce4-terminal)
2. Maximize it
3. Ctrl-Shift-T

No problem if not maximized.
Running {xfce4,gnome}-terminal --geometry=80x25 also crashes.

I don't know what packages I need to install to generate a correct stacktrace.

[Bug 88489] Re: [feisty] launching gnome-terminal w/geometry argument segfaults

2007-02-28 Thread Alan Tam 
I can confirmed that the new libvte fixes the crash.
But running gnome-terminal --geomtery=80x20 has the following unexpected 
behavior - there are some new lines after first character of my shell prompt 
only when the number of rows specified  24 OR  54.

[Bug 78343] Re: gnome-terminal mouse performance slow on feisty

2007-02-23 Thread Alan Tam 
I also see the same problem, in fact even more problems, and in fact
with both gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal. All these happened since I
upgraded to Herd 3, and still persists till now.

General slowness with gnome-terminal is one thing. Sometimes typing a
character to the shell takes a second to appear. Selecting with mouse is
also very slow, especially when it involves scrolling. Scrolling by
Shift-Up/Down is also very slow.

Sometimes, I see broken characters (yes, part of the character is
missing) inside the terminal, but when I select the text, the characters
become alright. But they appear broken again when I deselect.

I am using IBM T40 with P4M 1.4G and 768MB RAM.

matt,

Now that half of the bug is fixed. You don't need xvattr. Just tune the
contrast (Edit - Preferences - Display) into 25% and it will look
right.

The same values are shown even when totem is playing. When I slide
contrast to the left, the video seems to become ok. But I expect it to
work when the contrast is in the middle.


Adding # does not work:

The same happens even if I replace totem-xine by totem-gstreamer.
