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!

Am I the only one having these problems? I'll be glad if at least someone tells me if he has the fonts in xemacs problem.

Thanks

I'm having same problems. Everything that has to do with X in the script does not work, that is the run_on_xserver stuff. Even after using Xorg instead of Xgl does't work. Worked fine with SuSE 10.0. Does anybody no where to read the error messages of the script?
