   So, is it "Deee'-bian" (long e) or "Deb'-ian" (short e), or something else?

It never occurred to me that the pronunciation could be anything other than
"Day'-bee-un", but then I say "Lye'-nucks", too.

Bug#4056: mouse cursor in X3 server is cross-eyed

1996-08-09 Thread Mike Coleman
   Date: Mon, 5 Aug 1996 21:45:27 -0400
   From: Daniel Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   Package: xserver-s3
   Version: 3.1.2-5

   When in the 640x480 mode, the mouse cursor points incorrectly.  The
   point at which the cursor appears to point is not where the mouse
   button selects when you push the key.  I have not tested other video
   resolutions with this card.

   The X server thinks it is pointing approximately 8 pixels to the left
   of where the mouse cursor appears to be pointing.

Have you played with the invert clock and early sc buttons of 'xvidtune'?  My
card (#9 motion 771) showed this behavior before I configured it correctly.
Maybe you've also got a config problem here.

Bug#4181: Searching for wrong active file

1996-08-18 Thread Mike Coleman
   Date: Sat, 17 Aug 96 00:35 MET DST
   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Martin Schulze)

   Debian's INN has its active file located in /var/lib/news/active.
   The nn newsreader mentioned above unfortunately tries to read it 
   from /usr/lib/news/active.

Martin,

[Cool!  My first bug report!  :-]

When I compiled this version of nn, I was assuming that it would be used as an
NNTP-only newsreader, the assumption being that virtually everyone reads news
this way.

It looks like what you're doing here is trying to read news out of a local
spool area.  I suppose if this can be easily supported, it should be, but I'm
not at all sure it will work.  In particular, 'nn' would have to be able to
read NOV (overview) data out of this spool area, too.

Before I start digging further, do you know whether both news and the overview
data are available on your machine?

Thanks,
--Mike

Lucky for us, the bug scripts are bug-1 compliant...  ;-)
