Dear Maintainer, Hi, since yesterday, along with xserver-common and xwayland upgrade, xbindkeys stops working with - W: awesome: xerror:881: X error: request=GrabKey (major 33, minor 0), error=BadAccess (10) - xbacklight -dec 10 gives "No outputs have backlight property" And maybe others, but haven't seen yet As neither awesome, xbindkeys or xbacklight have changed, I assume it must be X related (even if a libc6 upgrade has happened in the same time). I'll try to downgrade to see if it's working better Thanks Raphael
Indeed, downgrading from 2:1.18.4-1 to 2:1.18.3-1 for xserver-common/xorg-xserver-core/xwayland/xserver-xephyr resolved the problem 2016-07-26 21:09 GMT+02:00 Debian Bug Tracking System <owner@bugs.debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading my box (from etch of last may to today's etch) the video
support is very bad under Gnome :
- Contrast (screen backlight) control keys are not working any more
- Gnome Control Center Displays tab is unable to have access to card
or screens information and thus no screens re-organization
(mirroring for instance) is possible that way
When upgrading apt-list-changes show me that message from xserver-xorg-core :
I tried :
1) to use the xorg.conf template
2) to downgrade xserver-xorg-core, xserver-common to 2:1.18.3-1 (using
deb files found on http://snapshot.debian.org)
3) to update xserver-xorg-core to 2:1.18.4-2 (the one in unstable)
4) to update the kernel to 4.7.0 (the one in unstable)
Nothing worked.
The fact strange is that the X server is working (or at least seems to work).
For instance I am able to change the backlight using sysfs with something like
echo 50 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
I am also able to use an external monitor/beamer but not to change their
relative position/mirroring with Gnome tools (I did not try with xrandr
though).
