Bug#604974: WISHLIST: does not start without monitor connected

Hi,

Osvaldo La Rosa <aldo.nospam <at> scarlet.be> (30/11/2010):
> Hope this helps!

sure, that seems to confirm that the underlying issue is the
following:
> (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Could you please ask your friend to try with such contents for
/etc/X11/xorg.conf?
| Section "Device"
| 	Identifier  "Card0"
| 	Driver      "dummy"
| EndSection

(with the xserver-xorg-video-dummy driver installed, and without any
monitor connected).

That seems to do the job here (even though I can't really disconnect
my laptop's integrated screen). If that fails, please send the new
xorg log.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Bug#466039: same problem

I have same problem, but the strange thing is that if the monitor is put to 
sleep by the screensaver then id does not wake up spontaneously!
Best,
     Roman.

Bug#561979: Reassign an imagemagick to X

>> Imagemagick seems to suffer from an X problem, therefore assign this
>> bug to you.

>> I might have missed it, but I see no evidence of an X bug?

By elimination:
- does not arrise in my machine whith the image
http://www.fmwconcepts.com/misc_tests/logo2t.png
- it arrise only with image with an alpha channel
- only when running icewm or fluxbox but not running kde and gnome
- only on linux and macosx

The interection of all this fact point to X. But we are clueless to
help. How can we debug this kind of problem ?

I suppose I could wait after freeze.

As I'm running fluxbox, I tried it.
None of the 3 following images found on the bugreport did crash my X:
 * logo2t.png
 * fuzzy-magick.png
 * yast.png

For your information I'm running sid on AMD64. With latest xorg 
packages and imagemagick version 8:6.6.0.4-3.

Good catch :) I forgot to mention AIGLX. It might be best to stick to
the classic drivers for that for now, as they're probably more robust
for that, and I don't think the additional functionality offered by the
Gallium drivers can be used via indirect rendering anyway.

Bug#605621: keyboard no longer working in X

Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

After upgrading from lenny to squeeze my keyboard stopped working in X (but
worked with the console). It turned out that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf contained
an invalid keyboard variant ("nodeadkeys" from a "de" keyboard I had a few
years ago). X in lenny simply ignored the invalid variant (I guess, or was
us/nodeadkeys valid in lenny?).

This setting was put into /etc/default/keyboard during the upgrade, but
X in squeeze silently fails with a wrong keyboard variant. See also bug
571636 for a similar problem.

The real problem IMHO is that X silently fails for invalid keyboard
layouts or variants (invalid in the sense that there is no keymap for that
layout/variant, not that it does not match the real layout). Why can't X
print an error message to the log file, and fall back to some default?

Even if some keys result in different characters a wrong layout/variant
is much better that a completely dead keyboard.

Ironically, the "nodeadkeys" variant had exactly the opposite effect, it
rendered *all* keys dead ;-)
