Ah...the rawness...

So, what does one do after nearly a month of solid travel but upgrade
one's main desktop system to current rawhide? Makes sense to me. But
I've found some interesting bits of psychedelic behavior that I can't
readily find on the lists. Any clues or even suggestions for which
packages to file bugs on would be helpful.
- No sound. Sound apps seem happy, volume is set as usual, silence is
deafening.
- After the screensaver puts things into power-saving mode, the
display will never be the same again; it looks like most of the
color resolution goes away. Restarting X fixes it. (Note: Intel
driver but with my own kernel where I never got around to turning
KMS on; same kernel as before the upgrade).
- Most annoying of all: there seems to be real weirdness in the
handling of modifier keys. In my usual "caps lock is another
control" configuration, I get no control key at all. If caps lock
is set to "default", then ALT_L turns into control. The Alt
modifier seems to be unattainable by any means - what's a poor emacs
user to do?
On the last one, I note that dependency problems keep the current
libxklavier from being installed; maybe things will get better when
that's resolved?
Anybody else seen this stuff?
Thanks,
jon
