Re: ATI Imageon 100

This one is used in some Casio and especially the new Sharp PDAs (Zaurus CL-700, 750 and 760). We want to write an accelerated XFree86 driver for it so that handhelds.org Linux using X11 and GPE could run more efficiently on it. Currently there is only an undocumented Linux kernel framebuffer driver which is quite slow. Using the acceleration features of the chip we should be able to get decent performance and nice features like hardware accelrated rotation and even MPEG acceleration. Without we get a crawlingly slow desktop :( The IMAGEON 100 will never be a stellar performer. It was designed for low cost and low power, not high performance. It does have a simple blitter, and it has a reasonable YUV overlay, but the motion compensation acceleration is only slightly better than straight software. There is an O/S-independent (theoretically) acceleration layer for the IMAGEONs, but it is ATI-proprietary, and to my knowledge is only released to their partners. So please if anyone from ATI is listening, please consider to support an XFree86 driver development! Didn't we just see this movie? What's their incentive to do so? The people who are selling IMAGEON-based devices want Windows CE, and ATI is happy to help those people with CE drivers. Your plea is well-intentioned, but if I were you, I would not hold my breath. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
TRANS_OPEN_MAX in Xtransint.h
There is the following report in bugzilla (#97): - On Redhat 8 at any rate, the TRANS_OPEN_MAX constant should be compiled to a call to sysconf(), but is actually compiled into a default of 256. This breaks my app, which for various reasons opens 256 file descriptors. As the kernel default limit is 1024, the fact that Xlib has this value compiled in means the app will randomly abort when 256 is reached. There is a test case for this that I will attach. -- Anyway, sysconf() is only used if __GNU__ is defined. However the appropriate sysconf() call seems to be standard POSIX.1, therefore we should use some other macro indicating that it should be used instead of a fixed value. Any idea?

ti tms 34020
Hi, Anybody know where I can get a tms34020 user manual (instruction set reference)? I tried TI without success. I have a Mylex GXE020C that I would like to write an X server for. Thanks! kevin ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I spent part of my life at Graphic Software Systems, which developed 34010 and 34020 boards during the late 1980s. However, your goal is kind of silly. The 34020 runs at a blistering fast 40 MHz, and the complexity of managing the co-processor means the drivers are a mess. Unless you have an 80386 as your main processor, you will get better drawing speed using the dumb frame buffer driver. -- - Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
xfree86 for the VIA Apollo CLE266
followup, it doesn't look like I'll need ddc, this will run on a plasma screen with low scan rate. how do I disable it? also, there is a pretty good chance I disabled i2c in the kernel, that would cause the problem? no? // George On Tue, Jul 29, 2003 at 09:37:06PM -0400, George Georgalis wrote: Hi - I heard (second hand from via) that xfree86 2.3.99 has drivers for the CLE266 ( http://www.via.com.tw/en/apollo/cle266.jsp on a http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81 ) The VIA Apollo CLE266 Chipset is designed to enable high quality digital video streaming and DVD playback in a new generation of fanless, small form factor PCs and IA devices.

When I first looked at 4.3.99 I noticed there are a few more archives than for the 4.3.0 series, but on closer inspection it looks like 4.3.99.9 is all I need, where the last 9 is a version number, not the last 9th (docs) of the source tree.

Yes, I think that this is a letter case problem. CVS on Cygwin does not see a difference in names, but feels a difference in object type (file vs. directory). Perforce on Windows has the same problems. Please manually delete `hp' file, and try `cvs update' again. Moving hp,v to hp.old,v on the server would also help a lot.
