similar to: using XKB with wine

I had to stop using the fglrx video driver from ELRepo, which isn't supported with CentOS 6.4. Now I can't start X; I get the following: > (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Cannot open "/tmp/server-0.xkm" to write keyboard > description > Exiting > The XKEYBOARD

Hello all, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on my DELL Studio XPS 1645 notebook, graphic card is a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670. I installed also proprietary ati drivers using Ubuntu administration applet, along with Wine 1.2 from package manager. All seems to work properly. This is fglrxinfo output: $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer

The Neverending Story of X11 Insecurity continues... Summary: On a system where X11R6.3-based Xserver with XKEYBOARD extension (R6.1 is probably affected too) is run in setuid or setgid enviroment (e.g. typical XFree86 installation has XF86_* installed setuid root), local users can exploit a "feature" of XKB implementation to execute arbitrary commands with the extra privileges.

Hi, I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France). I've been 100% GNU/Linux for the past five years, and I recently switched from Slackware to CentOS, for the sake of comfort. Overall impression: I like it! I have a few problems to solve yet in my migration effort, mostly minor annoyances. First things first. I need three different keyboard layouts: de, fr_CH and fr. I'm

This release of libX11 looks bigger than it is, due to a lot of spec/doc cleanup work that doesn't affect the code itself. There is still a good deal of bug fixes, code cleanup, locale improvements, and compose key table additions, including new UTF-8 compose sequences for: <Multi_key> <R> <equal> : "<U+20B9>" U20b9 # INDIAN RUPEE SIGN <Multi_key>

Hello, The modern (xkb) way of mapping the AltGr key (113) seems to be using the ISO_Level3_Shift keysym (0xFE03) instead of the obsolete Mode_switch keysym (0xFF7E). This patch let the "keysym to scancode" translator handle the ISO_Level3_Shift correctly, enabling the use of characters like ~#{[|`\^@]} on a french keyboard. Regards, Cédric diff -ur

evdev 2.0 has arrived. Roll out the carpet and bring the cake. FWIW, I hereby also take maintainership of evdev. Cheers, Peter Peter Hutterer (3): Finalize MB emulation if EvdevProbe fails. Shut up compiler warning "implicit declaration of function 'xf86Msg'" evdev 2.0.0 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.0.0

I have just installed (with kikstart) centOS6.4 on a PC which was previously running OpenSUSE (11.x). This PC has an apple keyboard and I'm unable to setup this keyboard. In .xsession-errors I get this messages : Error: No Symbols named "latin9" in the include file "macintosh_vndr/fr" Exiting Abandoning symbols file

Adam Jackson (2): Don't sleep(1) on VT entry. keyboard 1.3.0 Alan Coopersmith (4): Update kbd man page to say it has replaced keyboard driver now.

When I issue sudo tail -f/var/log/syslog in order to try and track down an external drive problem I get the following: Jan 11 07:56:00 kernel: [17179663.076000] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x81 on isa0060/serio0).

This release contains the fix for the issue reported in today's security advisory: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2025-February/003584.html * CVE-2025-26594 * CVE-2025-26595 * CVE-2025-26596 * CVE-2025-26597 * CVE-2025-26598 * CVE-2025-26599 * CVE-2025-26600 * CVE-2025-26601 Additionally, it also contains several other fixes, see below: Alan Coopersmith (7):

Aaron Plattner (11): Bug #12015: Use the right offsets in the dst arguments of pixman_blt. stride is in FbBits-sized chunks, but xoff is not. Bump video driver ABI for pci-rework. Set noCompositeExtension to TRUE when failing to initialize the extension (e.g. when Xinerama is enabled). Don't segfault on shutdown if we never managed to connect to dbus.

Adam Jackson (20): Unlibcwrap. Support the new DIX motion history API Ignore button events above BTN_TASK for now. Parse Option "Path" as well as Option "Device". Re-add XKB support. Nuke the keyboard bell code. Add absolute coordinate event support. Force maximum keycode to be 255 Handle the alternate spellings of the xkb

Suspend your disbelief, it's 1.4.1. Better imperfect than never at all, I guess. Contains a few security and input fixes, some memory leak fixes, and a few misc bits. git tag: xorg-server-1.4.1 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.4.1.tar.bz2 MD5: 0d638b6857408bb2e564e0c7b772d9a1 xorg-server-1.4.1.tar.bz2 SHA1: b5a020f6a5cc4b16296dadbc9c82073201d7d01a

I just purchased a Dell Inpiron 9300 from the Dell Outlet store. Installing CentOS4 went very, very smoothly until I tried configuring X. The 17" screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio with a 1920x1200 resolution. The best I could manage using system-config-display was 1600x1200. So, after a bit of research, I hand editted the xorg.conf file (reproduced below) and it now works great. Maybe

I am trying to install a new version of MotoCalc, a model airplane calculation program.The printout is below. I am used to the keyboard error, but German with no dead keys is correct and I never had it stop a program from working before. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks, Tom Corner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I require dead keys to be "productive" with Linux and I require Lotus Notes to communicate... I've installed Lotus Notes 5.0.8 (All Clients), successfully. Created a link in "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\netscape.exe" which in turn points to /usr/bin/netscape which runs Netscape 6.2.1 from /usr/local/netscape/netscape... This allows the hyperlinks to work

Ok, I think we've done enough damage for one release. Thanks everyone for pulling a long weekend to get changes prepared and reviewed. We're still missing the threaded input stuff, but that needs more review and I think we wore Tiago out this time around. If someone wants to propose merging it after the freeze, I think we should consider doing it. Note that this tarball depends on

First snapshot for evdev 2.2. Lots of cleanup, and - most notably - general axis/button support. For those running an X server from master, evdev will label axes and buttons for you. shortlog is a bit longer than it actually is, it includes a number of patches that were cherry-picked onto 2.1 and have since been released.
