Version: 3.1.2-5
I have a Juko G8 monochrome graphics card, which is an (enhanced)
clone of the Hercules monochrome card. That is, it is of the really
old sort, driving a TTL-level monitor at a resolution of 720x348.
When running debian's version of XF86_Mono, text is not displayed
properly on the screen. The letters are correctly formed, but are not
located in the correct location. Graphics are otherwise displayed
correctly: window borders, icons, images, etc. are all fine. Lines of
text are displayed in various locations on the screen, with no
apparent correlation to where they are supposed to be. For example,
the title 'xterm' on a window might appear in the middle of the
window, while the prompt might appear near the lower right-hand corner
of the window, and subsequent text outside the window.
I did not have this problem with a previous version of the mono X
server which came with slackware. Sadly, I do not know what version
it was, but it was not significantly older than this one.
A second, and I suspect, related bug is that the server crashes just
after the login dialog is displayed when it is run by xdm. This also
did not occur with the older server. I have included a transcript of
what happens when I type 'xdm -debug 10' below, as well as a copy of
my XF86Config file. Please note that the autoconfig tool which came
with the X package did not have appropriate entries for my card or
monitor, so I have hacked them together by hand. This may explain
both the above problems, but extensive hand-twiddling of this config
file has produced no result which is distinguishable from the ones
described above.
I have a debian 1.1 (elf) system, libc version 5.2.18, Kernel version
2.0.6, running on an i486 / VESA bus system. The problems reported
were also exhibited under Debinan ~0.98 (with a.out libc, kenrel, and
xserver), but were not reported. I have a Juko Electronics Industrial
Co. "G8" graphics card, driving a TTL monochrome monitor, with no
other graphics cards in the system.

Any assistance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated,

happy to test any bug fixes.

Did you ever get a response about your problems with your Juko G8
graphics card? Have you tried it with a 3.2 X server? Thanks for your
patience...

Notes to self:
#1690: can be closed, can't repro and I haven't heard of anyone ELSE
getting a PF from xdm the whole time I've maintained it
#1691: this is actually a pretty vague complaint. 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

I was searching the bug tracking system to see how many of the (fairly
numerous) bugs I had submitted were still outstanding, and I happened
to find this one. I just checked, and yes, it *was* fixed by an X
upgrade, about two years ago IIRC. It was apparently a problem in the
Hercules support in general, and wasn't just a Juko G8 problem, as it
was mentioned in the XFree86 FAQ (or outstanding bug list, or some
such) at the time.
I don't run X on my Juko G8 much any more but I seemed to recall
having used it successfully for quite a while, and I fired it up to
check to make sure it still works - it does. The bug can presumably
be closed.
(Interestingly, I reported the G8 as being the console graphics
adpator for my then i486/VESA system. The system is now a C300A/450
with PCI/AGP, but that same card is still the only graphics adaptor in
it...)

Subject: XF86_Mono does not display text properly on a Hercules (mono) card.
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Date: Sun, 8 Dec 1996 18:30:56 -0500 (EST)
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 PGP2]
Content-Type: text
Organization: datum.uwaterloo.ca remote POP mail services
Package: xserver-mono
Version: 3.1.2-5
I have a Juko G8 monochrome graphics card, which is an (enhanced)
clone of the Hercules monochrome card. That is, it is of the really
old sort, driving a TTL-level monitor at a resolution of 720x348.
When running debian's version of XF86_Mono, text is not displayed
properly on the screen. The letters are correctly formed, but are not
located in the correct location. Graphics are otherwise displayed
correctly: window borders, icons, images, etc. are all fine. Lines of
text are displayed in various locations on the screen, with no
apparent correlation to where they are supposed to be. For example,
the title 'xterm' on a window might appear in the middle of the
window, while the prompt might appear near the lower right-hand corner
of the window, and subsequent text outside the window.
I did not have this problem with a previous version of the mono X
server which came with slackware. Sadly, I do not know what version
it was, but it was not significantly older than this one.
A second, and I suspect, related bug is that the server crashes just
after the login dialog is displayed when it is run by xdm. This also
did not occur with the older server. I have included a transcript of
what happens when I type 'xdm -debug 10' below, as well as a copy of
my XF86Config file. Please note that the autoconfig tool which came
with the X package did not have appropriate entries for my card or
monitor, so I have hacked them together by hand. This may explain
both the above problems, but extensive hand-twiddling of this config
file has produced no result which is distinguishable from the ones
described above.
I have a debian 1.1 (elf) system, libc version 5.2.18, Kernel version
2.0.6, running on an i486 / VESA bus system. The problems reported
were also exhibited under Debinan ~0.98 (with a.out libc, kenrel, and
xserver), but were not reported. I have a Juko Electronics Industrial
Co. "G8" graphics card, driving a TTL monochrome monitor, with no
other graphics cards in the system.

happy to test any bug fixes.
Thanks.

Please close this bug. When I wrote, some 11 months ago, saying that
it could be closed (and that it should have been closed for the
then-previous two years), I wasn't kidding.
This bug is now almost four years old, but was fixed only a few months
after it was submitted.
