Xorg 1.5rc6 screws up urxvt in xmonad

I have the testing repository enabled and i have an nVidia card so i upgraded my xorg-server, but when I restarted X and opened up an instance of urxvt it came out all funny, it isn't tiled and it doesn't get focus, but i can type in it. Does anyone have an idea
i tried recompiling xmonad and urxvt but that didn't work.

Set urxvt borderless through your WM. Certainly openbox can do it. Here's some discussion I had about this topic on the openbox mailing list:

  • [Solved] Xorg 1.5 screwed up my NVIDIA

    Hi,
    Today I did a pacman -Syu and I got the newest NVIDIA driver installed and the newest Xorg. Everything broke. Well not exactly everything. But my settings are all screwed up. For a start my screen refuses to load at the normal resolution (1680x1050). I got a default 1024x860 (or whatever it is). Also my colour depth is 16. And regardless of any changes I make in NVIDIA settings manager the changes never stick. Also my compiz-fusion is totally screwed up. When it starts up my screen goes completely white. I have to blindly alt+F2 and run kwin to be able to do anything.
    Also my fonts are really small.
    Here is my xorg.conf:

    hmmm, I have exactly the same problem and I also use the nvidia-96xx.
    I noticed that I only get the scrambled text for the lines beyond 20 lines...so if I rescale the height of my window to 20 lines I never get scrambled text and and when I change the height of the window larger then 20 lines, only the 20+ lines get scrambled.

  • Green border around urxvt in xmonad

    Heya,
    I installed xmonad about a week ago and I set my terminal to urxvt in my xmonad.hs. Every urxvt window I launch, whether it be from Mod-Shift-Enter, dmenu, or another terminal has a green border, completely ignoring the border colors I specified in my configuration. If I set my terminal to xterm, it actually uses the border colors I specified.
    I've been having the same problem on Arch in a Parallels VM for about a month and I've yet to see how to fix this, yet I see people in the Artwork/Screenshots board with no such green border on xmonad. How would I go about fixing this problem?

    Try to add it then..see if that helps
    URxvt.borderColor: <color>
    (you could also make it the same color as URxvt.background and the border would have to disapear anyway)
    Yeah, that doesn't work either. I have a feeling xmonad itself is giving it the green border due to borderLess and borderColor not working. :S

  • Xorg 1.5rc6 radeon high cpu usage

    Hi to all.
    I tried to install the new Xorg with radeon driver, because it doesn't work with catalyst/fglrx, but my system become really slow.
    Xorg uses a lot of cpu when I move a windows or just start an app.
    With XAA it's a little better than EXA, with vesa and with radeon git it's the same so probably isn't a driver related problem.

    Zap: You may want to try removing a lot of the code/options from your xorg.conf. The new radeon driver does a really good job of setting itself up without the need for explicitly adding options. There may be a few options you must define, but those are things like a modeline ***if and only if your monitor does not report the correct edid information***
    I have been using the new xserver, mesa, drm, ati-driver, since may (on ubuntu before), when r500 3d support was added.
    I have an x1650 (rv535 chip).
    I did the upgrade to mesa release when it hit testing. At that time I also installed the xserver&ati driver that are in testing (even though they are the same as what I was running before.
    There were a few changes, for instance, I had to explicitly define the migration heuristic option, whereas it *seems* was loaded automatically before.

  • Urxvt and copy/paste-ing.

    Howdy guys.
    I'm new to arch, been loving it. Enjoying configuring (and learning) about the parts i need thus far.
    This is a weird question though. Basically i'm using urxvt (seems popular, and so far i like it) as my terminal, but i have no idea how to say.... copy and paste from it?..
    Basically i would like to cat a file, and copy certain sections from it, so i can post them in forums and the like. And also the inverse, be able to copy and paste lines from examples online into my configs.
    So far i've kinda been putting the windows side by side and typing it (<--- not very efficient and very annoying!).
    I'm using xmonad for a tiling manager and that's it, so if i need to install maybe an addon into Urxvt or Xmonad i need to know which one to hunt down XD.
    Thanks

    Yeah that or shift-insert seems to work for copying text from the clipboard to urvxt.
    However how do i copy stuff from urxvt's terminal into another app?. Just selecting it seems to copy it for urxvt, but other apps don't seem to get this updated clipboard stuff (they will still copy i copied from them).
    EDIT: okay you are right, it seems to work that way . Just weird and have to hit it a few times for the laptop to work with it. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the left+right click? (Shift-insert doesn't work in other programs)

  • Xorg config wireless keyboard

    Anybody configaration so that my box will recognise a wireless key board.
    Also is there a default xorg.config I screwed up the name for xorg.config and now it lets me pick a reselution 1680x1050 ??

    To install my wireless keyboard all I had to do was plug in the usb thingy (it had the normal thingies but using them didn't work)
    You can create a new xorg.conf using xorgconfig

  • [BUGGED] xmonad tri-screen non-xinerama problems

    Hello All!
    New Archer here.  I'm really enjoying playing with Arch.  Ran it about a week on a VM, and then promptly backed up/tore up/re-created my 3 TB RAID array as a shrine in deciation to its glory.  I haven't posted much along the process, because I've generally been able to put things together to my liking other than a few minor setbacks that I mostly managed to handle myself.  I have even gave Arch the coveted position of my "Laptop Linux."  I have a slightly odd setup and it seems to be tied in with an issue that I am having, so I thought I might post here, especially since some of you seem to be xmonad users.
    The Paragraph
    Most wm's seem to handle non-Xinerama multi-display fine (I've been trying out as many as I could find since switching over to Arch.  I figured new Linux/new Look).  It seems that xmonad handles Xinerama better but has a less friendly non-Xinerama out of the box experience, and it is terribly hard to find the information I am after since when I go looking for multi-monitor resources, I find alot about Xinerama and praise for its Xinerama way of doing things.  Apparently, you still can't enable Composite and Xinerama at the same time, and in general, I prefer funny fade effects and what not to being able to move windows from screen to screen so have opted for a standard non-Xinerama multi-card, multi-display setup of xorg.
    Bullet Points
    1 - Minor Problem:  xmonad only runs on one screen if I don't enable Xinerama
    2 - Entertwined Problem:  Composite extension becomes disabled if I enable Xinerama
    3 - Other Entertwined Problem:  Most wm's I try if they don't support dual screen natively, I can simply put calls in my .xinitrc to load on the various display (ie. 'DISPLAY=:0.2 wmii &; DISPLAY=:0.1 wmii&; exec wmii'), and it's no big.  If I try that with xmonad, the session on DISPLAY :0.0 won't give up control of the keyboard to the displays on the other monitors.  That's pretty weird, since it gives up control to my unmanaged windows just fine, or gives up control to another WM (as I type this, I have openbox managing my second monitor so I have an easy way to resize windows and such, but that is a somewhat imperfect solution in my opinion).  If I leave the screens unmanaged , I can launch apps on them easily enough by 'DISPLAY=:0.1 thunderbird' (like I do with openbox managing them if I don't want to use the menu) through command-line or scripts, but there is no way to move the apps or resize them or anything without some WM (like openbox) attached to the DISPLAY.
    4 - Minor Entertwined Problem That Makes This Whole Mess Harder To Ignore:
    When you go off the screen to an unmanaged window or a window managed by another window manager, apparently xmonad continues to think you are focused on the app that you hovered over last on your way to the other screen (ie. if I go over to Thunderbird now, xmonad will leave the active border around Firefox since I have it on the left side of my primary monitor and the other screen is to the left).  This is no big, although I would prefer it to gray out or whatever.  At the same time, xmobar displays that I am still over my Firefox window.  I am fine with it not knowing that I am over messing around in another WM or on an unmanaged screen.  The big problem is that when I bring the mouse back, it seems to get confused about whether I left or not, and doesn't pass focus back to the app in question.  It still thinks the app has focus (according to its border and xmobar), but keystrokes still go to the other screen and the window on the first screen will no longer even directly respond to mouse clicks.  It is easy to fix, I can simply move to any other window on the same screen, and then back to my firefox and things work fine.  I know that's a weird wall of text, so a quick explanation:
    If I take my mouse off the screen to the left, passing over Firefox, I end up on my Screen 1 that is currently displaying Thunderbird and managed by Openbox.  I can then click message, type things, all no problem.  If I move my mouse back to the Firefox screen, it looks like it is active, but I cannot click on anything (no links work, the buttons that control formatting of this message darken when I hover over them but do nothing on click, the check boxes at the bottom of this compose message window darken but do not respond to clicks, etc).  If I do nothing else other than but my mouse over one of my terminal windows (which will receive the focus border and receive input fine), and then move it back to Firefox - everything in Firefox will at that point work great.
    That last note is the primary reason I can't just let another WM loose on my secondary display and go about my day (I mean, I tend to just leave e-mail up on the thing, and I suppose a valid argument can be made for having a floating manager on your second screen anyway).  It's most annoying when I just barely go off the edge of the main monitor by mistake, say on my way to a tab or something, and can't click my tabs anymore without dragging the mouse back to a terminal and back over to Firefox.  Of course, I would be fine with messing with xmonad on all my screens really if I didn't have to turn off my Composite extension to do it.
    One easy solution is to just use Awesome.  It looks nice and seems to offer some of the same features, but I kind of like xmonad's way of configuring things and the idea that my configs seemingly shouldn't break on minor version numbers.  Awesome has already bit me in my playing around by making widget obselete two days after I put the widgets in my config file, and it seems they have a history of this type of action. 
    I can happily provide any configuration files on request.  My xorg.conf is probably of the most interest, I would think, but if I knew how to fix this, I wouldn't be on here asking for help.  It doesn't appear to be related to xmonad.hs, since I can use the default or a heavily customized one and get the same behavior.  There might be a way to fix the problem somehow in xmonad.hs; I don't know.
    Oh well, sorry my first post was such a wall of text, but I wanted to provide a solid idea of what was going on here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have had composite enabled with xinerama.
    Some graphics drivers restrict the size of all screens to fit within 2048x2048 pixels if you still want compositing, but if you have 3 monitors, it is unlikely that that you can find an arrangement that satisfies that driver/hardware limitation.
    Yeah, 2048x2048 woudln't work for me.  My main monitor runs 1920x1200, secondary is 1680x1050, and the tv is at 1920x1080.
    Apparently since the xorg upgrade the other day, I can't even turn on Xinerama anymore.  I know it worked when I tested just to see if things worked in Xinerama mode the other day (but it automatically disabled Composite).  Now I can turn on Xinerama but I get a strange cursor flicker and segfault when trying to go to the other screen.  Apparently some other people have that problem with the latest x-server and xinerama with Nvidia, but I haven't looked into fixing it, since I don't tend to use Xinerama anyway.  It makes testing some solutions a bit harder though not being able to temporarily turn it on.
    I have done some more testing though.  With my current multi-screen Xinerama off X-layout, things definitely work as expected in other Window managers.  I have played around in GNOME, compiz, fluxbox, openbox, awesome and ratpoison with this separate screen X-layout without problems. 
    The problem seems to be more with xmonad accepting the cursor than letting it go.  When I run :0.1 unmanaged or with another window manager, I can switch over to the other display with 100% reliability, but only have the problem when coming back to my xmonad display.  However, if I spawn xmonad to :0.1 in addition to having xmonad on :0.0, I almost always have problems switching over to :0.1, but once I get switched over to :0.1, I have trouble coming back to :0.0.
    Also, strangely enough, I can reliably switch to any other display with two windows on it.  I have taken to running a clock on display :0.1, since 90% of the time when I switch over to my e-mail client I will not get proper focus.  I can fix this 100% of the time by mousing over the clock, then back over the e-mail client.  To come back to my main screen, I will not get focus on my browser 90% of the time, but can reliably get focus to it 100% of the time there is a problem by mousing over one of the terminals to the right of my browser and then coming back to the browser.  Since the problem is predictable, I can work around it, but either way it is annoying.
    The problem is easy to duplicate with both a default xmonad.hs, another xmonad.hs pulled off the site (tried it with andrea's and arossato's, and with my personal customized and overly large xmonad.hs that I have been trying out various features with.
    Curiously enough, since it was a focus problem, I though "maybe if it updated focus more often?" and I tried 'import XMonad.Actions.UpdateFocus" with the proper startupHook's and handleEventHooks to make it attempt to update focus whenever you move the mouse within a window.  This did nothing to alleviate the problem, although it obviously took ince I noticed the change in focus handling when I didn't leave a monitor.
    Oh, and as another test to see if it might relate back to my drivers somehow, I removed nvidia's proprietary drivers and installed Nouveau.  While the Nouveau drivers are pretty neat (the fast frame buffer switching is fun!), I found them annoying since I don't know how to make my console come up on the right monitor with them, but that is unrelated.  I changed around my config and brought up X and was able to duplicate the problem exactly with the alternate drivers (but same configuration otherwise). 
    And lastly, I booted to my Gentoo install (that does use the same hardware are xorg.conf).  I can't get the 0.9 xmonad from the overlay to compile on it for whatever reason, so it conveniently has 0.8 installed.  I see the same behavior with a default config and a sample config swiped from the website (I cannot test with my custom config, since it has multiple 0.9 imports in it, but I have no reason to believe it would react differently).
    I welcome any ideas.

  • New modular Xorg? Xrandr? max resolution? CRAP

    afaik there is no way to edit the virtual screen size after X has started??? so i _have_ to do it in xorg.conf to get more than 800x600 on vga output with xrandr?
    i'll try this in the xorg.conf
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Subsection "Display"

    Any one has any idea to get with the modular xorg a higher resolution as 800x600 on laptop vga outputs?

    XORG SUCKS HARD!!!!!!
    if i have only the serverflags, monitor and screen section, it works well with higher resolution.
    But than, the keyboard layout isn't correct anymore!! so Xorg want it from the xorg.conf too, and no more from the hal/fdi stuff!

  • Urxvt freeze after c-button3

    I am a happy user of urxvt (and xmonad). My biggest issue is the c-button3 mapping. Whenever I click the right button of my mouse together with the ctr key I have got a pop saying "Convert selection". At that stage my keyboard does not respond anymore except for (c-m-F1). I can get a terminal outside the X session and kill urxvt ... Well this is really annoying.
    This is reported as a urxvt bug in an ubuntu forum thread (though with the middle click):
    urxvt menu hangs urxvt with x input frozen: https://bugs.launchpad.net/archlinux/+s … ug/317366)
    Is it really a bug ? Am I missing something ? What is it supposed to mean "Convert Selection" ? How can I disable the keybinding (and let vim use this keybinding)  ?
    Thanks for your help.

    I have probably found what I was looking for with:
    URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup

  • Which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming?

    I have many novels saved under *.htm, doc and pdf.
    I'm using Quick Office, but when I zoom in, I have to slide the screen from side to side just to watch the whole things, which make my eyes feel very tired.
    So I need your help about which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming, I mean, when you zoom in, you just have to slide vertically to see the whole documents, and don't have to slide horizontally.

    Especially with Dual cores, you will find that games do not loose FPS even with things like a lightweight music player running in the background. Windows scheduler simply was not made for that kind of thing, and benifits alot more from a lower number of background processes. I wont say linux does not benifit, but with Dual cores and CFS, it is not really noticable anymore.
    Wait, does that mean you have better performance while you are running more stuff? Does the desktop manager handle graphics better?
    This really did confuse me...

  • [Solved] $LANG and zsh prompt color problems

    Hi,
    I recently discovered, trying to use Newsbeuter, that, in X, certain parts of my profile aren't set. Until now it only seemed to be $LANG, which is empty if I echo it from urxvt in XMonad, but yields the correct setting if I do the same in a tty.
    To make things worse now, my zsh seems to be acting up. I have differently colored prompts for my normal user and root. But since a few days ago, the root colors aren't applied unless I source .zshrc again after sudo-ing.
    I updated a lot recently and it's gotten hard to track these issues, especially the $LANG one, to a specific update. The only thing I know is that my desktop, running Kdemod, doesn't have these problems.
    I'm using Slim and XMonad. Neither issue is limited to a certain terminal.
    Most of my configs can be found in my GitHub dotfiles repository. If anything's missing to get a clear picture, ask for it.
    My rc.conf can be found here [Gist].

    I finally went through the new sudoers file and got mine to work, see this thread for details. Using that, and using a workaround for libetc, your prompt works for me.
    You appear not to use libetc, but if you do and don't also have root set up to use libetc, you will need to create a link to/from ~/.zshrc from/to ~/.config/zshrc
    I actually just solved it in another way. Your original point, that sudo changed it's default behavior was the key. In the official zsh documentation somewhere it says that all settings that are wanted for root should be put into /root/.zshrc. I just did that and it works.
    Your solution works too by the way. Just enabling
    Defaults env_keep += "HOME"
    does the trick and also (logically) re-enables other things that I hadn't even realized were gone yet like syntax highlighting in vim. I guess I should read into the nature of said privilige escalation problems. Maybe there's a way to selectively keep parts of HOME.
    So thank you very much for the help.

  • Xmonad - Can't start any terminal emulator (xterm,urxvt,etc)

    Hi,
    I've recently installed Arch Linux in Virtualbox-OSE and also installed xmonad. It took me a while to get it running. It is all working fine and I can start all kinds of applications with MOD+Shift+P, but the only thing I can't do is start a terminal emulator such as xterm or urxvt. Neither with MOD+Shift+P and MOD+Shift+Return. When I do this I see a window flashing and I think it is the program I am trying to start but it is closing right after the startup.
    Does anybody recognize this problem or know how to fix it?
    Thanks,

    BTW it was a real hassle to find the content of those files when you do not have a terminal emulator to use.

  • Problem with xorg and xmonad

    Q1 and Q2 solved, left Q3
    Q1) when i start xorg with startx, i get the following errors even though xterm shows up:
    ( EE ) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on front buffer: rejected by kernel
    ( EE ) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on back buffer: rejected by kernel
    ( EE ) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on depth buffer: rejected by kernel
    how do I solve this problem?
    Q2) another problem I have is Ctrl-Alt-backspace does not shutdown x, I have to switch to another console and switch back to Ctrl-C even though I have added a serverflags section with the dontzap option into my xorg.conf in accordance with the wiki, how do I solve this problem too?
    PS in this case my .xinitrc has the line exec xterm
    Q3) After I commented out exec xterm in my .xinitrc file and tried to start xmonad with the line $HOME/bin/xmonad, this happens in addition to the error in Q1:
    Setting master
    /home/user/.xinitrc: line 13: /home/user/bin/xmonad: No such file or directory
    when i followed the arch wiki and just used xmonad in the .xinitrc file, a bank screen is shown and these errors occurs:
    /home/user/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does not exist ( No such file or directory )
    I followed the instructions at xmonad.org and the arch wiki but why isn't a file there? how do I start it in arch?

    What do you mean by 'it works but gives me this error'?
    The way xmonad works is that if you have your own configuration ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs, then when you run it, xmonad automatically recompiles itself and puts the resulting binary into ~/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux. So what the default xmonad binary does is that
    1) it checks whether your config ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs has changed (if yes, it recompiles)
    2) it checks whether ~/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux is a binary that can be run (if yes, it runs it)
    3) runs xmonad with the default config
    So I think what happens with you is the case 3).
    Note that when xmonad runs with the default config, you won't see anything special (you need to run some programs, or check in the console whether the process actually runs. If it does run, then all is fine and you should ignore that error).
    hey thanks, that clears things up alot but since I've used the pacman to install xmonad from the community repository, where can I find the default configuration file that it loads?
    and the ~/.xmonad directory does not exist currently, I assume I would have to manually create it?
    btw, where did u learn all this from?
    and thanks once again
