Bug#240847: xbase-clients: [xclock] manpage does not document use of Xrender
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal
xclock(1x) does not document the use of Xrender extensions
in xclock. These extensions change the way the xclock
handles command line options; for example the -hd and -hl
options no longer work unless you also specify -norender.
Xfree86 has a newer manpage on their website documenting
these changes:
http://www.xfree86.org/current/xclock.1.html
The obvious fix is for Debian to use their new manpage, but
I don't understand the relicensing hooha enough to know if
that is feasible.
[apologies if this arrives twice -- reportbug gave a disk
full error message on the first try]
