But then xrandr got in the way, couldn't read a valid gamma setting. xrandr is not your problem though. Now I suppose I'll have to use it for everything. And thats a right pita too as its quite a few more characters. But now I can't run synaptic from the tde menu's, as root or gene. And gksudo, my only way to run synaptic, brought up a whole new default jessie config. Jessie ??? Supposed to be stretch, call me confused. I hope I've not broken it. But ack xset -q, I have set a longer blank/monitor shutdown, and thats an improvement, I am plumb tired of going after a fresh refill of my coffee cup, a 15 foot walk from this chair, coming back and having the monitor power down as by butt approaches the chair cushion. Now I need to go check on the missus, who'se in the shop with end stage copd. And now pneumonia.

And the first of my wheezy machines, the only other machine here that is running tde r14.0.x. just updated 62 packages including 3 from the linuxcnc buildbot, using the exact same "gksudo synaptic". By the time I had updated all 4 of them, the three wheezy installs got an updated master-rt from the linuxcnc buildbot, but this stretch(amd64), and the buster (armhf) rpi4b didn't get any updates offered except the 6 that are locked, preempt-rt stuff. Looks like the buildbot is having trouble with post-wheezy stuff. I should do a git pull and try it myself as I am setup to do that. But I'm not touching that until I find out whats killing the jog dials on the rpi4b. I had it partially apart yesterday, installing a new z motor's driver alarm output into its linuxcnc config, but the jog dials are now dead, so I've no way to run 1500 lbs of 75 yo Sheldon lathe by hand. But I need to go to the machine to do that, I can't troubleshoot that with an ssh login. Machine safety yadda yadda. So I'd better fix some breakfast and git to it. Thanks Stefan.
