X uploaded to master
Hi,
I've uploaded X to incoming on master.
Sorry for the long delay. There doesn't seem to be a way to generate
a .changes file if I build ARM architecture packages only and I want
to upload source files. I ended up having to hack a local copy of
dpkg-genchanges and hand editing the changes file to fix the list of
architectures. Yuck.
Trying to fit a 68MB upload through a 28.8k modem took a while too.
There are some outstanding problems with it. For example, the twm
window manager leaves "droppings" behind when moving the windows
around. Icewm seems to work fine however (not uploaded yet).
The keyboard mappings don't seem to be working for me in an xterm -
backspace and delete don't do the right things (but ^h works). I've
never really understood X keyboard configuration. Perhaps Debian does
something during system initialization that we aren't doing with the
chroot setup.
When the screen blanker kicks in, it kills the xserver - "xset s off"
should fix it, I hope. Maybe this is just happening because I don't
have xlockmore installed?
I haven't installed it on gandalf - I'll leave that up to Turbo or
somebody else that wants to use that machine.
Cheers,
- Jim
