Package: donkey-bolonkey Version: 2001-1 Severity: normal 12:19 * pusling looks at tarzeau .... how do I_make donkey-bolonkey not turn off my monitor and render my computer unresponsive ? 12:20 < tarzeau> pusling: i can't reproduce this, what allegro version do you have? what x version? all sid? 12:20 < pusling> tarzeau: yeah. updated sid 12:20 < tarzeau> pusling: for sdl i know how to make non-fullscreen, for allegro you gotta ask sam or look at the source yourself? 12:21 < tarzeau> pusling: i386? 12:21 < pusling> tarzeau: i386. no allegro installed 12:22 < tarzeau> pusling: it doesn't fail here? if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 240, 0, 0) < 0) 12:23 < tarzeau> or maybe here init_graphics(); ... can you still use the computer after the unresponsiveness? what x driver? 12:23 < pusling> mga driver. I haven't something else available so I can check ssh. - but my amarok keeps playing 12:25 < tarzeau> pusling: maybe your x driver don't support 320x240 with 8bit color? which is something any vga card should be able to do 12:25 < tarzeau> pusling: can you try using the vesa driver? 12:26 < tarzeau> pusling: or replace the GFX_AUTODETECT with GFX_AUTODETEC_WINDOWED 12:26 < tarzeau> pusling: and rebuild it 12:26 < tarzeau> pusling: or i build it you test it? 12:26 < tarzeau> pusling: and then we add a -f (fullscreen) and -w (window) modes 12:29 * pusling installs vesa 12:29 < tarzeau> i think #349837 is closed by gtamsanalyzer.app can someone affirm? 12:30 < tarzeau> pusling: that'd just be the bad workaround... but yes i wonder what happens 12:30 < tarzeau> pusling: if you don't want to build it, tell me i'll make you a new deb 12:31 < tarzeau> pusling: works in window mode here... :) 12:32 < pusling> tarzeau: with vesa driver I get a nice little window that says "donkey bolonkey" with moving donkeys. I think it works with vesa. but yes. it is a ugly workaround. 12:34 < tarzeau> pusling: can you try the windowed version, here's the link http://cow.ethz.ch/donkey-bolonkey_2001-1_i386.deb 12:39 < pusling> tarzeau: the windowed version seems to work with mga driver 12:40 < tarzeau> pusling: so the problem is changing the resolution and colordepth (i dont' guess you have 8bpp,256 color)? 12:41 < pusling> yeah - it is not the resolution or color depth I use normally ,) 12:41 < pusling> (and I don't have it in my xorg.conf either) 12:41 < tarzeau> pusling: doesn't matter, xorg calculates it 12:41 < tarzeau> pusling: wait, your monitor gets out of sync? 12:41 < tarzeau> pusling: that happens when you have the wrong frequencies of your monitor in the config 12:41 < pusling> my monitor just gets turned off as with "no signal" 12:42 < tarzeau> pusling: oh 12:42 < tarzeau> pusling: can i see your xorg.conf ? 12:43 < tarzeau> pusling: what says your monitor manual for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies? 12:43 < tarzeau> pusling: or you tell what your monitor exactly is? 12:44 < pusling> I unfortunately don't have my mointor manual anymore - but the values in my xorg conf is set with those when I had it 12:46 < tarzeau> pusling: can you try HorizSync 28-50 instead of 28-80 ? 12:46 < tarzeau> pusling: what size is the monitor? who the vendor? model? 12:47 < pusling> 19" - some old ibm. 12:47 < tarzeau> pusling: yes try what i suggested then 12:48 < tarzeau> pusling: more than 1280x1024? 12:48 < pusling> I run 1600x1200 12:48 < tarzeau> k try it, worst thing that can happen is it don't work and then you change back 12:55 < pusling> I tried changid horizSync - my X got totally skewed - but I tried the archive version of donkey-bolonkey - and had to hard reset my machine again. 12:55 < tarzeau> pusling: ouch :( 12:56 < tarzeau> pusling: i'm not sure where the problem is, i think i got some mga machines at work (sarge though- can make them etch), i can try it there 12:56 < tarzeau> pusling: feel free to file a bug report against it with the details we foudn out here? 12:56 < pusling> it is a mga 550 if it matters ;) 12:57 < tarzeau> we also got those, and 450s.. but i think what matters more is monitor and x version, x config 12:57 < tarzeau> pusling: so hard lock means, sound keeps play, you can't ssh into it, and keyboard no react, like num-lock, ctrl-alt-backspace or f1? 12:59 < pusling> I have no other machine to try to ssh into it from currently. 13:00 < tarzeau> pusling: i have :) 13:09 < pusling> tarzeau: what severity do you want the bug with ? 13:09 < tarzeau> pusling: i'd use normal, but you can pick any you want 13:11 < pusling> tarzeau: I will just quote stuff from our talk here in the bug report? ;) 13:11 < tarzeau> pusling: that's fine 13:12 < tarzeau> pusling: would you be happy to change screen resolution with xvidtune -next and/or ctrl-alt-+- then run it in windowed mode (i mean i add -w and the bug is fixed)? 13:12 < pusling> tarzeau: if -w was set by default, yes. (so I don't lock up my computer accidentally just because I miss a -w)
