The current problems: * Dell Latitude laptop (without HAL): ** The events generated by the keyboard (no HAL in the game) all have wrong scan codes. ** Pressing an arbitrary alphabetic key once over an `xev' window leads to a non-stopping flow of events (as shown in the `xev' launching `xterm'). ** Adding "XkbDisable" to "ServerFlags" doesn't help. ** Garbage in the xterm windows on movements and overlays. * Desktop (with HAL): ** Garbage in windows on movements and overlays. I have to bring my laptop to a working state today, one way or another. Anybody want to suggest something to try before I revert to more radical actions and the state and experience is lost? ,--- Sergey N.
