Problem of configuration of X locale with Kdrive

Problem of configuration of X locale with Kdrive

[Joaquim Duran]

Dear all,

I don't know if this is an off-topic of this list, but I'll post.

I'm trying to start the Kdrive xserver (v. X11R7.1) with a window 
manager (twm), generated from xterminal image. 'xinit' is also 
installed, with fonts. Each time that I run 'startx' or 'xinit' the 
following message is shown by kdrive:

Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Error: Aborting: no fontset found

How can I set up this locale? Any help will be appreciated.


I've observed that if library hasn't any application depending on it, 
the bitbake doesn't include the library to the image. Is this a bug?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Joaquim Duran

Is there any reason why you expect it to be included?

Yes, when I used the xterminal image that I've generated, the pachages

encodings_X11R7.0-1.0.0-r0_arm.ipk mkfontdir_X11R7.1-1.0.2-r0_arm.ipk
font-util_X11R7.1-1.0.1-r1_arm.ipk mkfontscale_X11R7.0-1.0.1-r0_arm.ipk

were not installed. I installed them manually to get the X11 fonts 
installed.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Re: Problems with X11

[Joaquim Duran]

Dear all,

These days I've build several xterminal images. I would like to comment 
several issues that I've found:

1 - Some days ago, I've sent to this list the following e-mail:

The previous message is displayed by applications, and not by xserver. 
This is done by applications but not by all.

For example, I start the Xserver with some tools:

export DISPLAY=:0.0
Xfsev&
twm&
xeyes&
(Till here, all applications are working fine)
xedit&
(The application crashes and displays the previous message)

The locales of X11 are not installed. They should be placed in 
/usr/lib/X11/locale, but the folder is not present.


2 - From the last comment, that libraries should be included in the 
final image, I answered to a question that Xserver fonts should be 
installed by hand. Kdrive includes fonts internally so the installation 
of fonts for this xserver should be optional (I was wrong).


3 - The library libXaw version Xorg 7.1 has a dependency with libxp (as 
libXaw version Xorg 7.0). By the libxp has not been released for Xorg 
7.1 by Xorg. I've checked its FTP server and it hasn't been release form 
Xorg 7.1 but release notes tell nothing about deprecation. The 
dependency should be removed?


4 - The package xinit should have dependences to xmodmap and xrdb utils 
because these utils are called from xinitrc file.

If I should fill bugs for these items, please, let me know.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Joaquim Duran
