Two cases of particular note: running /usr/openwin/bin/perfmeter (I believe), I lose keyboard control when I exit the program. This can be solved by remotely logging in and killing the app, or by logging in to my linux box and killing X. running wabi, I also lost control of the keyboard -- here I had to reboot linux to regain a usable keyboard. If it's of interest, the way I'm bringing up x is: in a random terminal session under linux: nohup X :1 & xterm -display :1 In the resulting xterm window: xhost +solarisboxname telnet solarisboxname [and log in] myopenwin [then shut down that xterm] The script myopenwin is basically the openwin script from solaris canabalized for just the environmental variable settings (and DISPLAY defaults to server :1 on my machine) -- and instead of running startx, it merely runs olwm.

At any rate, Debian now has parse-xf86config, which is designed to catch exactly these kinds of errors. xserver-configure (and the xdm init script) works with it to try to ensure that the XF86Config file is kosher before trying to use it. #1819: I do not think it is necessary to put a lock on a read-only device like a mouse. If you run something else that grabs the device and locks it, the problem is with the something else, not with X. As it stands, under at least some configurations gpm and X can share the mouse device (though VC switching may cause gpm issue protocol errors to the system log). #2039: I believe this was addressed last year: XFree86 3.3.2j (4 November 1998) [...] 1191. Mach64 updates: fix a font bug for non-terminal image text fonts, update docs and Cards database (#2164, Kevin Martin). #4056, 4066: these bugs are addressed by questions Q.C1 and Q.D1 in /usr/doc/xfree86-common/XFree86-FAQ.* #4546: I cannot reproduce this under the conditions described in the bug report. #5475: This problem was fixed by the Great X Reorganization. *) If you don't want xdm to run, don't install it. *) Alternatively, see /usr/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ for help with various xdm scenarios people desire that aren't the default configuration #5635: fixed in xfree86 3.3.2.3a-9 with Marcelo Magallon's patch #5734, 6405: Folks have got to learn how to use XKB. Alternatively, they can just use "XkbDisable", and the X server will inherit the keymap used by the virtual console. #5820: this was fixed a long time ago. xinit -- :1 [other server args] works just fine. #6400: I can't reproduce this. I do not get a coredump when starting an xfs when another one is already running. Font services continue to work fine. #7354: I tried to reproduce this and couldn't. #7553: This was fixed in the Great X Reorganization. #7886: if emacs doesn't know what to do with a key event, that's emacs's problem -- G.
