XGL - T43p (and optionnaly Suse 10.1)

#1 Post by magneto » Sat Jul 01, 2006 3:33 am

Hi

I began to use xgl on my t43p (with suse 10.1) Generally it's working quite well, but there are some annoying issues. I wonder if anyone here had the same problems and solved them.

1- fn-f3 and fn-f7 are working on Xorg, but when I passed to xgl, they stoped working. These keys are bounded to the script /usr/lib/powersave/scripts/thinkpad_acpi_events which contains these lines:

run_on_xserver() {
get_x_user
DEBUG "User $X_USER display $DISP $1 " INFO
su $X_USER -c "DISPLAY=$DISP $1"
}

......

4099) HOTKEY="Fn+F3"
if [ -x /opt/thinkpad/pm/onscreen_pm.sh ] ; then
run_on_xserver "/opt/thinkpad/pm/onscreen_pm.sh start" &
ACTION="start onscreen_pm applet"
else
run_on_xserver "xset dpms force off" &
ACTION="blank screen"
fi
;;
103) HOTKEY="Fn+F7"
ACTION="swap monitors"
echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
;;

I think as the display changed from 0 to 1, this script have to be modified but I dunno how to do it :-/

2- xfonts: If I open xemacs, I see that the fonts are too big, and no way to reduce thir size. It happens to other x applications too. But in xemacs menu fonts are too big, and text fonts are too ugly. If I change the fonts, nothing happens always same ugly fonts.

3- As the fn-f7 does not work, I can't get any image from the external screen connected to the thinkpad.

Any suggestions, tips to solve these issues?

Thank alot!
