Package: xbase-clients Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Severity: normal When xgamma is run with no options it displays the current red, green and blue gamma as far as it knows. This is often wrong however, since other programs (such as games running under WINE or SDL applications) may set screen gamma without using xgamma to do it. When xgamma is run in these instances it displays what the screen gamma was set to before it was changed, which is wrong. To reproduce: - use xgamma to set the screen gamma to any value, say x - run a third-party program that uses libraries such as WINE or SDL to change the screen gamma, to, say, y - switch out of the third-party program and run 'xgamma'. It will report x instead of y If the program exits and resets the screen gamma to the value it was before running, xgamma will once again be correct. However, if the third-party program crashes, the gamma will not be set back and xgamma will report incorrect values until the gamma is manually set using xgamma. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.9 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 4:3.3.5-3 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdps1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Display PostScript (DPS) client li ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0-0pre6ubuntu6 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Athena widget set library ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System Input extension li ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxmuu1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 lightweight X Window System miscel ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X pixmap library ii libxrandr2 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.8.3-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii libxtrap6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System protocol-trapping ii libxtst6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System event recording an ii libxv1 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System video extension li ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii xlibmesa-glu [libglu 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii xlibs-data 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Window System client data ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- Jeff Bonham jbonham@mail.utm.utoronto.ca PGP Public Key ID: BA289747
