Aside from the really horrible libexpat update which took me most of the weekend to fix, I'm having some behaviour issues now, with which I would greatly appreciate help in fixing. First, my alt key seems not to work properly. It works fine in regular programs (e.g. alt-f in firefox pulls down the file menu properly), but not for wm or X-related things. For example, I can no longer use ctrl-alt-fx to change to a VT from with X. Control-alt-backspace _does_ work, and I can switch to a VT if I do it quick before before it finishes restarting, at which point the shortcut works fine until I get back into the X display. With my wm (xfwm), the keyboard shortcut settings program will detect the alt key fine when I'm setting shortcuts, but any shortcut involving alt will not work when I actually try to use it. The normal alt-drag to move windows and such doesn't work either. The second problem is that all of my fonts in X are suddenly a couple sizes too big. If I run "xrandr --dpi 75" the font sizes go back to normal in programs I start afterward. I followed the dpi guide on gentoo-wiki, but no DisplaySize setting in my xorg.conf seems to make a difference. I see the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log when I try setting DisplaySize to 346 260: ... (**) intel(0): Display dimensions: (346, 260) mm (**) intel(0): DPI set to (75, 100) ... (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 203 ... This suggests to me that my settings are getting overruled somehow. I am using x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.0 with x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2. Any advice would be appreciated. Henk Boom -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
