[arch-general] New xorg-server package braks fluxbox?

[Javier Vasquez]

Hi,

Today's pacman -Syu installed new xorg-server package:

% pacman -Qs xorg-server
local/xorg-server 1.7.5.901-1 (xorg)
    X.Org X servers

I have xorg.conf configured without hal support:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option  "AutoAddDevices"        "False"
        Option  "AllowEmptyInput"       "False"
EndSection

I also have fluxbox installed:

% pacman -Qs fluxbox
local/fluxbox 1.1.1-1
    A lightweight and highly-configurable window manager

And with the new xorg-server the behavior I'm seing is that if I try
to maximize/minimize a window, fluxbox freezes, but if I do top, I
don't see any process eating resources, neither memory, neither cpu...

Another weird behavior, is that fluxbox keys are dead.  I configured
for example:

# alt-left / alt-right
Mod1 Right :NextWorkspace
Mod1 Left :PrevWorkspace

And they don't work.  Well, if I try them like between the 1st 2
seconds, they actually work, after 2 seconds, they don't do a thing...

I don't think this is a video card issue, since I have the same issue
with a nvidia video card, and an ati video card:

    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "Quadro FX 570M"

...

        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000]"

Is this a bug?  I don't want to use hal, but perhaps it's inevitable
now as opposed as before, when we could still not depend upon it...
So I'm not sure if the only way to make Xorg work now is through hal,
or if this is just a temporal bug to be fixed...

Please let me know.

Thanks,
