C++ code in Xfree86?
Dear Friends, I struck up with cross compile of Xfree86, Here are some queries which I need your generous help. 1)for cross compiling, does we need to modify cross.def and save as host.def? 2)In Cross.def there is a line #define CplusplusCmd Is there any C++ code in Xfree86-4.2.0 source? we don't have C++ compiler for our target platform. Also kindly provide some document/links on successful porting of Xfree86 to new Hardware platform. Thanks in Advance. Regards, Suresh. = --- Suresh Chandra Mannava.

Using absolute position data with a USB mouse
Title: Message With a USB mouse it is possible to report absolute position data just like you would with a graphics tablet. This capability has enormous potential for developers of KVM (remote keyboard, video, mouse) applications such as myself. Unfortunately with the current mouse input driver, absolute position simply gets converted back to relative position changes. I looked in the archives to see if this has been discussed before but didn't see any mention of it. I am wondering how the rest of you would feel about changing this behavior. Thank you, Gamma Dean Avocent Corp.

Perhaps a pointer to the relevant CVS (and the corresponding tag) would help answer that question. From what I could see, the XORG tag on freedesktop is just a copy of xfree86's from several weeks ago.

Re: IPv6-enabled XFree86 4.4.0 with IPv4-only kernel
David Dawes wrote (in a message from Thursday 8) I need to make a correction to that.

FW: [XFree86] X 4.3.99.902 Compile error
After a few more attempts to get 4.4 to compile completely I have again come back to the group. I am not a programmer. I just want a screen that has better size then 800x600 -SaX2 will not set it beyond that. If I us the correct manufacturer driver (instead of the VESA) then the screen gets split 3/4 of the way down and 'wraps' back onto the bottom. I was told that this was a known bug that 4.4 fixes which is why I am trying to get it compiled and running. The only other thought I had was that if there is someone out their who can successfully compile their install of 4.4 and compile it into an RPM that would solve my problems also. (Just a thought) To those who have assisted as much as they can; my apologies for the plethora of emails on this issue.

The compile is trying to build resize, and wants the ncurses library... which I can't imagine *isn't* on your machine *somewhere*... but clearly, it's not on the search path that GCC is looking in. Locate (or install) it, and then either symlink it into a useful place, or modify the makefile. (Actually, that might be the *imake*file; this is where you got into needs to be an Xguy territory. I think you're gonna find out you don't have it installed, as difficult as that is to fathom -- so *much* stuff uses curses. On second look, that error from ld seems wrong, too; it shouldn't be looking for -lncurses, it should be looking for libncurses. I'm wondering if that's a thinko in the makefile -- perhaps the .o files should be at the end; there isn't anything else after xstrings.o, which may be confusing getargs in gcc. Noting that you're in the beta, I'm leaning towards this; I suspect someone hosed the makefile.
