[gentoo-user] Modular X and Black Screen on Alt-Tab (switch Windows)
I'm not sure what's going on. I finally went from xorg-6.8.2-r2 to xorg-7. Everything seems to be working fine. (i'm happy that there wasn't much issues) (yet??) The only thing which is bugging me is the Switching Windows. (Alt-Tab) in Gnome-2.14 When I do an Alt-Tab, the whole window (the currently selected window) will end up being black A screenshot can be seen here http://static.flickr.com/107/256242636_faf82c36d8.jpg?v=0 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I've never quite understood why it's Ctl-Alt-F7 which returns,
when the TTY's involved seem to be 1 2 . In fact,
I've suppressed higher-numbered TTY 3-6 in /etc/inittab .
Another test reveals that Ctl-Alt-F3 returns to the X session,
so perhaps the command to return uses the next free F key.
Can anyone confirm that ? Anyway the problem is solved.
My own setup is somewhat non-standard. I have...

c9:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty9 linux
I have a regular user account. I launch X, which takes tty10. I have
a second scratch account for certain tasks, and viewing Google and
other video sites in 400x300 mode or lower. I tell it to use display :1,
which is tty11. tty12 is used by kernel log messages.
A hint for tweaking xorg.conf files. I have several files in /etc/X11
i.e. /etc/X11/1024xorg.conf /etc/X11/2048xorg.conf /etc/X11/320xorg.conf
/etc/X11/360xorg.conf /etc/X11/400xorg.conf /etc/X11/800xorg.conf and
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. My regular account has a script ~/bin/x
#! /bin/bash
startx -- -nolisten tcp -nosilk -config ${1}xorg.conf
and the scratch account has ~/bin/x1
#! /bin/bash
startx -- :1 -nolisten tcp -nosilk -config ${1}xorg.conf
The regular account launches X with the command x to give me a
1280x1024 screen. When I'm editing large digital photos, I use the
command x 2048. This launches X with the file 2048xorg.conf, which
I've set to give me 2048x1536. When I want to run at 400x300 for
viewing videos, I launch with x1 400, which invokes X with the config
file 400xorg.conf. I generally run with the following textmode ttys...
tty1 regular user, mutt (email)
tty2 regular user, slrn (usenet)
tty3 regular user, general purpose console
tty4 scratch account
tty5 scratch account
tty7 console when ssh'ing into the other machine (I have a 1999 Dell
450 mhz PIII that is my emergency backup machine).
tty8 root (occasional use only) when doing admin stuff that requires
root (emerge sync, etc).
tty9 regular user, used for launching X. I find that X spits out a lot
of logging garbage to the tty that launched it.
tty10 used by X session :0
tty11 used by X session :1
tty12 used by kernel logger for message output
I run textmode at 80x48 (YES, forty-eight rows with 10-pixel-high
font, which is much easier on the eyes than 8x8 font).

[gentoo-user] modular X : all's well + a suggestion
Resuming Nvidia with modular X proved to be easy using the Guide, which anyway agrees to my home-made help file from previous occasions. The ~x86 driver pkg 8774 offered no difficulties with kernel 2.6.18 , except that I had to add a line to xorg.conf : Section Monitor ... DisplaySize 280 210 to avoid having some fonts appear tiny (in KDE 3.5.4): it was calculating DPI as 75 (wrong), not 92 (correct). Possibly, this sb added to the trouble-shooting section of the Guide, as others seem to have run into it (I found the solution on the Forum). -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Modular X undefined symbols.
My last email didn't seem to make it to the list, I hope this isn't a duplicate. I've converted 4 machines to modular X, and one is having an issue. My laptop (Thinkpad T43) is getting the following error when I start X: dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so: undefined symbol vgaHWGetIndex If I run X -configure it complains about XAACreateInfoRec when loading i810_drv.so, and vgaHWGetIndex when loading vga_drv.so. It also complains about VBEExtendedInit when loading the VESA driver. I've followed the conversion how-to. I've set the dri USE flag. My VIDEO_CARDS flag is set to i810 vesa. I've been unable to find any solution... Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? -- // Andrew MacKenzie | http://www.edespot.com // GPG public key: http://www.edespot.com/~amackenz/public.key // The goal of computation is the emulation of our synthetic abilities, // not the understanding of our analytic ones. // - Alan Perlis -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Modular X upgrade
I've already done the new modular upgrade on several machines and they all worked perfectly, except my main multi video card machine. I have some older S3 Virge PCI video cards that aren't playing nice with the new xorg. In VIDEO_CARDS I have nvidia and s3virge, and the proper drivers are being compiled and are in the correct locations. The nvidia drivers load fine, but when the S3Virge is attempted, the screen goes black and I can't recover without a hard reset.

[solved?] Re: [gentoo-user] modular X, nvidia, and unresolved symbols
It appears that the nvidia driver wants something that isn't available when the minimal use flag is present during the xorg-server compile. Eliminating this use flag got rid of the unresolved symbols. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] modular X, nvidia, and unresolved symbols
Hi, I've successfully upgraded to modular X on 4 machines without any issues, but the 5th box is fighting me. The 5th box, a Dell Inspiron 8200, has an nvidia card, and I've used the proprietary nvidia video drivers for years without problems.

Perhaps someone else knows more (or has access to a couple of boxes they could test it on - I don't at the moment). In any case, the freeNX client can connect to VNC sessions, amongst others.

Try using zebedee to both compress and encrypt (if neccessary) the vnc connection. Provided a nice usability increase when using vnc through a modem, though tightvnc was a little better than vnc.

Tightvnc can hog the cpu with the compression sometimes so that's not always a good solution either. I've tried tightVNC and freeNX, both over a relatively slow DSL link and on an old pentium2 450, and whilst both were usable there's no competition: freeNX wins hands down. I also like the fact that freeNX also lets you run single remote applications, instead of always having to start up a complete remote desktop - much closer to normal X-forwarding. The only downside to freeNX was it was more complicated to get working. (But that may have been due to the complicated things I was trying to do: everything had to be tunnelled through a firewall using ssh port-forwarding, and I needed to get my X server to talk to a remote font server, also via ssh tunnelling, so that fonts on the application I was running over freeNX would work.)
