Package: xboard Version: 4.4.0~beta1-1 Severity: normal When trying to play a variant chess game, XBoard will display kings in place of the appropriate variant pieces. For example,
$xboard -ncp -variant gothic Instead of displaying chancellors on e1 and e8, and archbishops on g1 and g8, XBoard displays kings on all four squares. The chancellors and archbishops do move as they are supposed to. $xboard -ncp -variant xiangqi XBoard shows Xiangqi implemented using a chess board and chess pieces, which is workable except that the king is used to represent three different pieces - generals, guards, and elephants. $xboard -ncp -variant shogi Same problem as with Xingqi: a chess board instead of a Shogi board and a chess king is used to represent Shogi kings, gold generals, silver generals, and lances. Note also that XBoard screenshots on the XBoard homepage show Xinqgi and Shogi games with the correct boards and pieces. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xboard depends on: ii gnuchess 5.07-5 Plays a game of chess, either agai ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.7-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-17 Xaw3d widget set Versions of packages xboard recommends: ii xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.0-4 100 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-75dpi 1:1.0.0-4 75 dpi fonts for X Versions of packages xboard suggests: ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-em 2.26.2-2 The GNOME terminal emulator applic ii lxterminal [x-terminal-emulat 0.1.6-1+b1 desktop independent vte-based term ii mrxvt [x-terminal-emulator] 0.5.4-1 lightweight multi-tabbed X termina ii rxvt-unicode-ml [x-terminal-e 9.06-1 multi-lingual terminal emulator wi ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-em 0.4.0-1 Xfce terminal emulator ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 243-1 X terminal emulator -- no debconf information -- Karl Sackett k...@hiwaay.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
