fspanel || learning XLib and Xinerama
I've just discovered fspanel. I love it because it it so so simple. I use XFree86 on MacOSX so my OS is already provided for me and I don't need all the extra features of gnome or kde just to get their panel. Here's my issue: fspanel doesn't have the vaguest idea about Xinerama, and I have multiple displays. This makes it impossible to make it show up on the correct one correctly. ;-) First, if anyone has a patch/hack/whatever that will make it work, pls tell me!? or even a similarly lightweight panel. I've looked at fbpanel and hpanel, they aren't what I'm looking for, and I'm not entirely sure they support Xinerama either. Second, failing my first request: Could someone point me in the right direction to learn Xlib and Xinerama myself? I know some C (I understand the language, but have very little experience) and I'd like to be able to fix this myself. :-) Help is appreciated, JP It's all fun and games 'til someone writes to a NULL pointer! ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
xf86AddInputHandler
hi, I have spent some time recently to dive into XFree86 source code: I am looking into learning more how it works to understand better X performance in my application. One of the things I don't really get is what xf86AddInputHandler is supposed to be used for. Despite reading a lot of code and grepping multiple times, I found only very few locations using xf86AddInputHandler and I could not figure out what it is used for.

Re: ATI Imageon 100
Hi; on Tue, Jul 29, 2003 at 11:04:35AM -0700, Tim Roberts wrote: 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. I dont think were expecting 'stellar' performance here, just reasonable will do - the current situation is ~700 k/sec bandwidth in certain xrandr orientations. 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. I think parts of this are exposed in the w100 framebuffer driver ( in the sharp kernels source ), though its pretty much undocumented and I dont really wanna risk boiling a 400$ lcd poking it. 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. ATI do mention on there Imageon page they support 'Linux mobile'.

COMPOUND_TEXT handling of iso8859-15
Bugzilla #228 claims that the handling of iso8859-15 in COMPOUND_TEXT is incorrect. According to the ctext documentation no extended segments should be used for any approved standard encoding. According to the newer revision of this doc (xc/doc/specs/CTEXT/ctext.tbl.ms) is8859-15 is such an approved standard encoding. However XFree86 contains code to grant backward compatibility to XFree86 3.x that uses extended encodings for this. How importand is the backward compatibility to versions of Xlib for 3.x? Should we remove this code which makes our COMPOUND_TEXT handling violate the specs? Egbert. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Re: CVS Update: xc (branch: trunk)
Egbert, I don't see a way how you can work around this as there seems to be no way to exclude files from checkout/update. One could create an alias module in the CVS repositry which excludes the HP directory. Like xc-win -a !xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/HP xc Then doing a cvs checkout xc-win may work. However I suspect that a 'cvs update' will still fail as this doesn't know about the module concept. Does this mean I can only get HEAD and new branches from it?

Would it be possible to fix this issue on the repository side? I mean manually delete files `hp' and `dell' and create directories instead? As has already been discussed, deleting these files from the repository makes it impossible to check out previous releases in their correct form. [I thought I already sent the following, but I haven't seen it come through.] Since XFree86 is a cross platform project, I think we need to avoid conflicts that affect platforms with case-insensitive filesystems. Since CVS doesn't allow directories with the same name as files that have existed at any time, that means that we can't create directories like this. So far, the best solution I can see is to remove the 'HP' directory from the repository. That will only impact the history of the last few snapshots. I think that's preferable to affecting the history of releases going back to 3.3. Unless someone comes up with a better solution, that's what I'm planning to do. Is there a reason why the extra geometry descriptions couldn't be added to the original 'hp' file instead of putting them in separate files in a subdirectory?

Is there a reason why the extra geometry descriptions couldn't be added to the original 'hp' file instead of putting them in separate files in a subdirectory? XKB should allow multiple descriptions per file. Yes, that's right. This is not a limitaton of XKB. If you have a look into newly created geometry, you'll see that it already contains 3 sections, which are nested and re-used: 1. for the mouse stick 2. for the base frame and common buttons 3. for US keyboard layout. Some other geometries (like ibm/thinkpad) have also 4. for national layouts. I believe that this is a correct way to develop geometries for related keyboards and I think that it is logical to combine them into one file. Knowing all the problems now, I would still prefer this solution. I have already developed 4 geometry specifications and will continue to do so. I don't want to create problems, though :-) I'm open to suggestions. Thanks! -- Alexander Pohoyda [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
