Hello everyone,
I'm new to the list. Please excuse me if this question has been asked and
answered before. I'm trying to build ati.2 w/ tv_output for sarge i686. From
my understanding, I first need to build xfree86. These are the steps I
followed:
- obtain source: $ apt-get source xfree86
- enter root of source tree: $ cd xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1
- build source: $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
Things appear to be working until about a third of the way into patching the
source when the following output appears:
Applying patch debian/patches/101b_xkb_sun_loads_srvr_ctrl.diff ... failed!
(check stampdir/log/patches/101b_xkb_sun_loads_srvr_ctrl.diff for reason)
The file "stampdir/log/patches/101b_xkb_sun_loads_srvr_ctrl.diff" contains the
following:
patching file xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/sun/se
patching file xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/sun/us
Hunk #1 succeeded at 100 with fuzz 1 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 221 with fuzz 2 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #3 FAILED at 330.
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/sun/us.rej
Finally, file "xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/sun/us.rej" is as follows:
***************
*** 324,329 ****
key <CUT> { [ SunCut ], [ F20 ] };
key <HELP> { [ Help ] };
// begin modifier mappings
modifier_map Shift { Shift_R };
modifier_map Mod1 { Meta_L, Meta_R };
--- 330,338 ----
key <CUT> { [ SunCut ], [ F20 ] };
key <HELP> { [ Help ] };
+ // Override these settings by default xfree86 Ctrl+Alt combinations
+ include "srvr_ctrl(xfree86)"
+
// begin modifier mappings
modifier_map Shift { Shift_R };
modifier_map Mod1 { Meta_L, Meta_R };
I have a hunch that my problem could be solved by someting as easy as setting
an environment variable but I haven't been able to find any guidance. I've
been able to build vanilla XFree86 and Xorg in the past and present but I've
never had the experience of building the X server from the debian sources. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.
Until next time, Colin.
