|
|
After upgrading from XOrg 6.7.0 to 6.8.0-r1 I have run into a few minor problems that have annoyed the hell out of me (I am using Gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8-gentoo-r8 with nvidia-kernel-1.0.6111-r2 and nvidia-glx-1.0.6111),
1. Keyboard input is sometime delayed, echoed, or not responsive
This one really annoys me because things will seem to work fine but then screw up at the worse times like when playing games. Suddenly my character will be moving in the wrong direction, or he won't move at all. This also happens in konsole, suddenly doubling or tripling characters.
2. I cannot switch to a terminal screen. CTR+ALT+F1/2/3/4/5 are all unresponsive. And as you can guess, that annoys me too. The only way I can get back to a terminal screen is to kill kdm, and then press CTR+ALT+BACKSPACE.
3. XOrg 6.8.0-r1 would not accept the config file I was using from XOrg 6.7.0. This doesn't bother me as much because I can easily create a new config file. But as it turns out, the main problem was that it didn't like the following option:
I guess you need to have it as follows (with a small k)
I'll post my xorg.conf just in case anyone has some insight. Thanks in advance.

I believe the Keyboard module was renamed to "kbd". |

Tried changing it, makes no difference. I also tried downgrading to the "stable" nvidia-kernel/glx and opengl-update. All made no difference after reloading the modules. |

Hi
I had a similar issue with <cntr><alt> Func 1 etc and also with the "Windows " menu keys after installing 6.8.1
Bug #47243 gave the answer to me.
There are two versions of xkbcomp,
one in
/usr/X11R6/bin
and the other in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
The latter one is zero length.-- copying the first to the second made it work again. |

OOPs
That should have been upgrading to
xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1
and not 6.8.1 |

Well, I ssh'd into my system (from work) and you were right, one is a zero length file. I overwrote the zero length file with the proper file....hopefully this does the trick for me too. I won't be able to check until I get home. |

Small k in keyboard works for me. Maybe it's time to change to kbd.
But i got Code: | Failed to load module "speedo" (module does not exist, 0) | .
Any solutions??? Or what is speedo good for??? |

MagnusBerg: That's an old font system, not needed for most people these days. You can comment out the "load speedo" line in xorg.conf.
HeadHolio: This does'nt answer your question, but you should remove the "load dri" line from that file. It doesn't play nice with nvidia drivers. |

the new xorg does fill up all of my monitors area. I finally got a working conf, but looks like I have a 12 inch monitor. |
