Configuring xserver-xorg


You should choose this option if you would like to attempt to autodetect the 
recommended X server and driver module for your video card.  If the 
autodetection fails, you will be asked to specify the desired X server and/or 
driver module.  If it succeeds, further configuration questions about your video
hardware will be pre-answered.



If you would rather select the X server and driver module yourself, do not 
choose this option.  You will not be asked to select the X server if there is 
only one available.


Do you need help?X

Attempt to autodetect video hardware?   y




For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly, it is 
necessary to select a video card driver for the X server.



Drivers are typically named for the video card or chipset manufacturer, or for a
specific model or family of chipsets.

X server driver: 31






The X server configuration file associates your video card with a name that you 
may provide.  This is usually the vendor or brand name followed by the model 
name, e.g., "Intel i915", "ATI RADEON X800", or "NVIDIA GeForce 6600".



Identifier for your video card: generic




Users of PowerPC machines, and users of any computer with multiple video 
devices, should specify the BusID of the video card in an accepted bus-specific 
format.



Examples:


Do you need more help?X
  ISA:1

  PCI:0:16:0


  SBUS:/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,tcx@2,800000




For users of multi-head setups, this option will configure only one of the 
heads.  Further configuration will have to be done manually in the X server 
configuration file, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.



You may wish to use the "lspci" command to determine the bus location of your 
PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express video card.



When possible, this question has been pre-answered for you and you should accept
the default unless you know it doesn't work.



Video card's bus identifier: 




Typically, the amount of dedicated memory used by the video card is autodetected
by the X server, but some integrated video chips (such as the Intel i810) have 
little or no video memory of their own, and instead borrow main system memory 
for their needs.



This parameter should usually be left blank and specified only if the video card
lacks RAM, or if the X server has trouble autodetecting the RAM size.



Amount of memory (kB) to be used by the video card: 



Can we help you?X

Rather than communicating directly with the video hardware, the X server may be 
configured to perform some operations, such as video mode switching, via the 
kernel's framebuffer driver.



In theory, either approach should work, but in practice, sometimes one does and 
the other does not.  Enabling this option is the safe bet, but feel free to turn
it off if it appears to cause problems.



Use kernel framebuffer device interface? yes




The default keyboard layout selection for the Xorg server will be based on a 
combination of the language and the keyboard layout selected in the installer.



Choose this option if you want the keyboard layout to be redetected.  Do not 
choose it if you want to keep your current layout.



Autodetect keyboard layout? yes




For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard layout must be 
entered.  Available layouts depend on which XKB rule set and keyboard model were
previously selected.



Experienced users can use any layout supported by the selected XKB rule set.  If
the xkb-data package has been unpacked, see the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules 
directory for available rule sets.


Can't find what you're looking for?X

Users of U.S. English keyboards should enter "us".  Users of keyboards localized
for other countries should generally enter their ISO 3166 country code.  E.g., 
France uses "fr", and Germany uses "de".



Keyboard layout: us






For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, an XKB rule set must be 
chosen.



Users of most keyboards should enter "xorg".  Users of Sun Type 4 and Type 5 
keyboards, however, should enter "sun".



Experienced users can use any defined XKB rule set.  If the xkb-data package has
been unpacked, see the /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules directory for available rule 
sets.



When in doubt, this value should be set to "xorg".



XKB rule set to use: xorg






For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard model must be

  •   pc101: traditional IBM PC/AT style keyboard with 101 keys, common in
           the United States.  Has no "logo" or "menu" keys;
  
  •   pc104: similar to pc101 model, with additional keys, usually engraved
           with a "logo" symbol and a "menu" symbol;
  
  •   pc102: similar to pc101 and often found in Europe. Includes a "< >" key;
  
  •   pc105: similar to pc104 and often found in Europe. Includes a "< >" key;
  
  •   macintosh: Macintosh keyboards using the new input layer with Linux
               keycodes;
  
  •   macintosh_old: Macintosh keyboards not using the new input layer.
  With the "sun" rule set:
  
  •   type4: Sun Type4 keyboards;
  
  •   type5: Sun Type5 keyboards.





Laptop keyboards often do not have as many keys as standalone models; laptop 
users should select the keyboard model most closely approximated by the above.

For the X server to handle the keyboard as desired, a keyboard variant may be 
entered.  Available variants depend on which XKB rule set, model, and layout 
were previously selected.



Many keyboard layouts support an option to treat "dead" keys such as non-spacing
accent marks and diaereses as normal spacing keys, and if this is the preferred 
behavior, enter "nodeadkeys".



Experienced users can use any variant supported by the selected XKB layout.  If 
the xkb-data package has been unpacked, see the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols 
directory for the file corresponding to your selected layout for available 
variants.

For the X server to handle the keyboard as desired, keyboard options may be 
entered.  Available options depend on which XKB rule set was previously 
selected.  Not all options will work with every keyboard model and layout.



For example, if you wish the Caps Lock key to behave as an additional Control 
key, you may enter "ctrl:nocaps"; if you would like to switch the Caps Lock and 
left Control keys, you may enter "ctrl:swapcaps".



As another example, some people prefer having the Meta keys available on their 
keyboard's Alt keys (this is the default), while other people prefer having the 
Meta keys on the Windows or "logo" keys instead.  If you prefer to use your 
Windows or logo keys as Meta keys, you may enter "altwin:meta_win".



You can combine options by separating them with a comma, for instance 
"ctrl:nocaps,altwin:meta_win".



Experienced users can use any options compatible with the selected XKB model, 
layout and variant.



When in doubt, this value should be left blank.

For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly, certain 
characteristics of the mouse (or other pointing device, such as a trackball) 
must be known.



It is necessary to determine which port (connection type) is used by the mouse. 
Serial ports use D-shaped connectors with 9 or 25 pins (a.k.a. DB-9 or DB-25); 
the mouse connector is female (has holes) and the computer connector is male 
(has pins).  PS/2 ports are small round connectors (DIN) with 6 pins; the mouse 
connector is male and the computer side female.  You may alternatively use a USB
mouse, a bus/inport (very old) mouse, or be using the gpm program as a repeater.
  If you need to attach or remove PS/2 or bus/inport devices from your computer, 
please do so with the computer's power off.

Mouse protocol: 1






Most programs in the X Window System expect the mouse to have 3 buttons (left, 
right, and middle).  Mice with only 2 buttons can emulate the presence of a 
middle button by treating simultaneous clicks or drags of the left and right 
buttons as middle button events.



This option may also be used on mice with 3 or more buttons; the middle button 
will continue to work normally.



Note that mouse buttons in excess of five (counting a scroll wheel as two 
buttons, one each for "up" and "down", and a third if the wheel "clicks") are 
not yet supported with this configuration tool.


Do you need help?X

Emulate 3 button mouse? yes




The Files section of the X server configuration file tells the X server where to
find server modules, the RGB color database, and font files.  This option is 
recommended to experienced users only.  In most cases, it should be enabled.



Disable this option if you want to maintain a custom Files section into the 
X.Org server configuration file.  This may be needed to remove the reference to 
the local font server, add a reference to a different font server, or rearrange 
the default set of local font paths.



Write default Files section to configuration file? yes

For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly, certain 
characteristics of the monitor must be known.



The "simple" option will prompt about the monitor's physical size; this will set
some configuration values appropriate for a typical CRT of the corresponding 
size, but may be suboptimal for high-quality CRT's.



The "medium" option will present you with a list of resolutions and refresh 
rates, such as "800x600 @ 85Hz"; you should choose the best mode you wish to use
(and that you know the monitor is capable of).



The "advanced" option will let you specify the monitor's horizontal sync and 
vertical refresh tolerances directly.



  1.   Simple  2. Medium  3. Advanced




Method for selecting the monitor characteristics: 1




High-quality CRT's may be able to use the next highest size category.

The monitor synchronization ranges should be autodetected by the X server in 
most cases, but sometimes it needs hinting.  This option is for experienced 
users, and should be left at its default.

Usually 24-bit color is desirable, but on graphics cards with limited amounts of
framebuffer memory, higher resolutions may be achieved at the expense of higher 
color depth.  Also, some cards support hardware 3D acceleration only for certain
depths.  Consult your video card manual for more information.



So-called "32-bit color" is actually 24 bits of color information plus 8 bits of
alpha channel or simple zero padding; the X Window System can handle both.  If 
you want either, select 24 bits.



  1.   1  2. 4  3. 8  4. 15  5. 16  6. 24




Desired default color depth in bits: 6

There are certainly a fair number of packages that don't correctly
support "make uninstall", but I'm not sure it's accurate to say it's
"rarely supported" or "most often it doesn't work".



For instance, automake-generated Makefiles do a reasonable job of it,
and that covers a lot of packages these days.

It should be perfectly safe, in general, to use aptitude having used

It's time to join the procmail email list.  You're being attacked by spam. 
If you had spamassassin properly installed you could save all of the 
invalid email to a probably-spam folder and use it to train your spam 
filter sa-learn --spam would do that but before I did that, I'd run 
sa-learn --ham ./mail/debian-user and do it on all of the other folders 
where you keep email so it can learn to distinguish one from the other.

Sometime back I compiled subversion's upstream version on a CentOS machine
(the actual OS does not matter in this case) and discovered that subversion
does not come with a 'make uninstall' option. You have to literally figure
out the list of binaries, libraries created by the 'make install' command
and then remove those files manually. If this is the case with a well
established software like subversion, I would be reluctant about relying
too much on 'make instal|uninstall' capabilities.

I have manually migrated my debian system to lvm2, but I am having a problem
with the shutdown script.

For example when doing runlevel 6 (reboot), the 3 last script which are
executed are
S50lvm2
S60umountroot
S90reboot
(in that order)

The lvm2 script tries to do a
   vgchange -an
which of course fails as the root filesystem (also on lvm2) is still
mounted. The error message is
   Can't deactivate volume group "linux_vg" with 1 open logical volume(s)

How should this work?

Didn't etch have support for setting up lvm2 during installation? Did that
put the root onto lvm2? If so, could anybody take a peek at how their
shutdown scripts handle this problem.

Is it even a problem? I get an error message, but as far as I can see there
are no real ill effects. The warning is annoying, though.

Please CC me, I am not on this list.

The error message is<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Can&#39;t deactivate volume group &quot;linux_vg&quot; with 1 open logical volume(s)
<br><br>How should this work?<br><br>Didn&#39;t etch have support for setting up lvm2 during installation? Did that put the root onto lvm2? If so, could anybody take a peek at how their shutdown scripts handle this problem.
<br><br>Is it even a problem? I get an error message, but as far as I can see there are no real ill effects. The warning is annoying, though.<br><br>Please CC me, I am not on this list.<br><br>Regards, Thue<br>

...using command line, the system (debian lenny) seems fine:

But if I start the UI, it reports:

#Broken: 89   Will free 344MB of disk space   DL Size: 14.0 MB

and
[1(1)/...] Suggest 2 installs, 28 removals, 47 keeps
e: Examine   !: Apply   .: Next


Does anyone has an idea about what is happening?

Thanks!
