They say *you* must send the patch to *them*." This is rather enfuriating. Who told you what exactly? I need names and quotes, so i can go and kick some rear-end upstream. And I am very much aware of their bugzilla, i have only been with X from before the creation of Xorg, from before any of the current ubuntu people even did anything close to X. I wrote harrington this: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-x@lists.debian.org/msg79655.html But he of course never bothered to reply. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't remember. I can check my IRC logs if you like. But I do realize now that I wasn't completely honest. They didn't say you must push the patch upstream. What they said is that Xorg doesn't have enough manpower to go and look at distributors' patches and pull them. They have a few people who do such things, but they are busy and their to-do lists are overloaded. I apologize for misrepresenting the truth. Re. comment #3: I completely forgot to mention the new DontZap default in this bug report after the new default was set. I apologize for that too.

The current solution to just change the default doesn't solve the problem. It's a half arsed solution which suitable to shut up the complainers. It doesn't allow distributors to go a middle road which helps everybody: 1. prevent users from accidentally zapping their server. 2. allow developers and users to kill their server under special circumstances. Also the change if the default doesn't change the validity of offering still another approach. Nobody has to take it but the extra code to offer this alternative is very little. Thus I would recommend to stuff this patch into the xorg bugzilla for discussion and if there aren't any major objections, go ahead and push it into the git repo. I cannot do that as it's not my patch. Luc, this is something for you to do. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
