Thank you for committing the patch to allow luit to be setuid'ed on FreeBSD (and probably other BSD-like operating systems, but I am not sure): http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/luit/sys.c#rev1.8 The problem is: the fix is not sufficient on FreeBSD. On FreeBSD, BSD macro is defined in sys/param.h and the sys.c rev 1.8 fails to find it. I failed to notice it by now because of some silly mistakes I made; please do not ask about it Please consider applying the attached patch (sys.c.diff) against CVS HEAD. It solved the problem on my FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p* environment. I did not test it on a FreeBSD 5.x box because I do not have one. I have written this patch according to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-versions.html and I hope it will not break the compilation on other operating systems than FreeBSD. I'll commit the patch. Thanks.

I searched for a while,but there is too little about the control flow and architect of a graphic card's driver. The docs that are available are included with XFree86 source code. The best docs are the source itself (aside from the DESIGN doc and XAA-HOWTO et al.). The technical specifications for Nvidia hardware are not available to the general public at all, not even under NDA. The technical specifications for most ATI video hardware are available only under NDA to those who are employed to work directly on XFree86 video driver work, and a small number of other people, such as some of the DRI project members et al. If you're just starting out working on video drivers, you'll basically have to select hardware to which the specs are publically available to everyone, such as 3Dfx Voodoo 3, Banshee, Cyrix MediaGX, some older Intel boards, etc. Video hardware vendors generally speaking do not allow public non-NDA access to video hardware documentation. -- Mike A.

Let me say, there must be some driver problem. I think the major problem for setting up a cloned LCD/DFP mode is the lack of DDC detected modes for the 2nd port, so the driver is unable to clone any mode at all. i would like to pass that on to the experts. i dont know if using a snapshot version of the drivers or of X11 will help in any way. -Original Message- From: ddeki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 17:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [XFree86] Driver problem for RADEON 9100 Hi I have a problem whit drivers for my graphic card RADEON 9100, I tray whit ati and radeon drivers and still is the same problem.
