Log message:
  o Fixed a problem in the xedit regex library, was using wrong code
to reallocate space when merging character matches in a single
string match. The problem did not appear early because the buffer
size is increased at 16 (or 32 for case insensitive) bytes at
a time.
  o Added a new syntax-highlight definition to allow easier viewing
XFree86 log files. It will highlight the XFree86 version, the
release date, the build operating system as well as (WW) warning,
(EE) error lines, and use a very pale background color for
(==) default, (**) config and (--) probed lines. Log of command
line options and uncommon (notice, not implemented and unknown)
messages will be highlighted almost identically to warnings.

auto-configuration vs imake

The approach I've been thinking about for a while is to replace as much
of the .cf data as possible with auto-generated data, and then have
imake do it's usual thing.  That would give a balance between automatic
build configuration and compatibility with existing Imakefiles.  I think it
would also have the advantage of being a doable task.  Imake already
does some basic auto-detection, but it's limited and it does it every
time it's run.  When building something large like the XFree86 tree,
it'd be better if that auto-detection was done once and the cached data
used for the rest of the tree.

Re: LgProbe or AlpProbe undefined Symbol

2003-01-15 Thread Matthieu Herrb
Wayne Gowcher wrote (in a message from Wednesday 15)
  Can anyone tell me why dlopen is trying to resolve the
  sysmbols LgProbe and AlpProbe when module
  cirrus_drv.so is loaded ? 
  Is it a problem with my compile ?
  With dlopen ?
  
  Any hints greatly appreciated.
  
  Please note if I comment both 
subprobe = LgProbe;
  and
subprobe = AlpProbe;
  

The cirrus module has sub-modules to handle alpine and laguna
chipsets. It is supposed to load the appropriate sub-module once it
has probed the chipset. 
For some reason the X server fails to load the sub-module in your
case. 

I'm not familiar with Linux/mips so I don't know if it's expected that
the X server uses the dlopen() based module loader instead of the
internal XFree86 ELF loader on this platform. XFree86 modules don't
work well with dlopen() and this method should be avoided if
possible. 

On OpenBSD, I prefer to build a static X server (DoLoadableServer =
NO) on architectures where the XFree86 loader doesn't work for some
reason, than falling back to dlopen(). See section 17 of the DESIGN
doc for more details.

Re: [I18n] locale.alias is missing en_GB.UTF-8

2003-01-15 Thread starner
Also out of interest, I noticed that en was an alias of en_US, is there
a reason for this? 

Historical reasons? Because Americans wrote the software? Because the
population of America is larger then that of Britain? Because it 
doesn't really matter?

In other cases where several countrys have adopted to speak the same
language the origional country is the default, eg de == de_DE not de_AT
or de_CH etc.  

Is modern-day Germany really the source of modern German? de is only
German since 1500 (German from 1050 to 1500 is gmh), and doesn't include
the spoken language of north Germany (nds - Low German)*. Did Austria
speak a different language prior to recent times? How did a bunch of 
city states that didn't come together until the 1880's force Austria,
the head of the Austrian-Hungary empire, to change its language?

* Disputed by some Germans, but that's how the tags are assigned.

I strongly suspect that the language covered by de didn't originate
soley in Germany; that it's the union of several dialects over that
whole area that have been converging and diverging for the past few
centuries. 

Why does this matter? Because it makes it clear that language to country
assignments are arbitrary, which they are in real life. For every case
where you can point to one origin country, there are cases - Basque, German - where 
you can't point to one country as the origin.

[XFree86] [XFree86(TM) Bug Report] X-window dont resize and mouse-mark dont work after systemclock change

2003-01-15 Thread Jan Helge Salvesen
Regarding: X-window dont resize and mouse-mark dont work after systemclock change
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

XFree86 Version: XFree 4.2.0 (Redhat Linux release 4.2.0-72)

OS: Linux Redhat v.8.0 (psyche) Kernel: 2.4.18-14 

Area: Xlib, Xterm (all X-applications)

Server: not server related

Video Card:

ATI Radeon Mobility 9000, but I dont think this is relevant to the problem.

Description:

Problemdescription: The Xterm windows and other windows become fixed in size and 
impossible to resize after the systemclock has changed back in time. If system clock 
is adjusted forward, the windows again became resizeable. Another problem is that it 
is impossible to mark a specific area (for copying for instance) using the mouse after 
clock is changed backwards. This error allso dissapear when clock is adjusted ahed in 
time (note: more ahed than since last X restart+ normal runtime).

br These problems dissapear if restarting the X.
br This problem has been around for a long time and I have tried to search for a 
resolution. The problem shows up for laptops which go to suspend mode. My three last 
laptops have had this problem, and that is two Compaq and now a Dell (Inspiron 8200). 
I think the problem is related to the fact that the system clock is not correct 
preserved after wakeup after suspend. This error is very anoying fro users of 
laptops.

Repeat By:

All Xterms and other X client application behave this way

I've been looking at this myself.  `man Xcursor` will give you a bit more
information, but if you edit the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme and remove the line

Inherits=redglass

or change it to 

Inherits=

then startx again, it should revert to the solid cursor.

I've just found a way to do this on a per-user basis, too.  Create a
~/.icons/default/index.theme reading

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=

Also, some window managers might be able to load their own cursors.  YMMV.

[XFree86] Beforelight screensaver is totally nonfunctional

2003-01-15 Thread Mike A. Harris
For the last few XFree86 releases, the beforelight screensaver 
has been nonfunctional if ran with the XFree86 core server.

[mharris@asdf mharris]$ beforelight
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of 
range for 
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  113 (X_KillClient)
  Value in failed request:  0x161
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  22


It fails as far back as 4.0.3 at least.

After a bit of debugging

I just debugged this for a while and beforelight itself seems to
work ok, but what is failing is the X server somehow it seems.  
If you do a clean X server startup, then do:

xset s 5
xset s activate
beforelight

It will come on in 5 seconds time.  However, if you kill the
beforelight process, then start it up again, you will get the
errors we've put above.

This is also testable inside Xnest by doing:  xinit -- $(which 
Xnest) :1

It seems to me like some resource is being allocated in the X
server when beforelight starts up the first time, but isn't
getting released when it is sent SIGINT (or some other signal).

This problem is 100% reproduceable every time for all releases
I've tested it on (4.0.3, 4.1.0, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, CVS), and occurs
on x86, Alpha, ia64 platforms at least.  A BSD user also
acknowledged the problem on IRC too.

I fiddled with it for a brief while, however similar screensaver 
exists in xscreensaver, so I decided it wasn't worth time fixing.  

Nonetheless, I thought someone else might be interested in 
knowing about the problem as it seems to be an X server bug.

If anyone is interested in debugging/troubleshooting further, I 
can provide more info.

Probably best to disable beforelight at build time otherwise.

 I've been struggling with this for about a month now and thought
 someone could help me out.  I have an AOpen motherboard with
 built-in AGP graphic chip.  To get better 3D performance I
 installed and ATI Radeon 7000 PCI adapter.  The default Radeon
 driver does not support direct rendering to PCI cards.  So I
 used a hack to enable PCI and recompiled my complete xserver
 from cvs.  All worked great until I rebooted my system with it
 still set to initdefault 5 in the inittab file.  The system
 comes almost all the way up but when the screen switches from
 text mode to graphics mode the system hangs.  The reset button
 is the only thing that can get it going again.
 
 Radeon PCI DRI is supported only on the Alpha processor.  It does 
 not work on x86 architecture, which is why it isn't enabled in 
 XFree86 by default for x86.
 
 To enable it, requires a slight kernel modification, as well as a 
 slight X server modification.  The result however just shows why 
 it is disabled by default.
 
 A few people have posted some patches that attempt to make Radeon 
 PCI DRI also work on x86, however I don't believe that XFree86 
 sources have applied any of these patches, and I don't believe 
 that they've been adequately tested in the wild yet.

Mike, this is FUD. First of all, PCI GART has been enabled on powerpc as
well for a while, and several people have reported it to work well with
PCI cards on x86.

 Anyone interested in testing out these types of patches need not 
 have a Radeon PCI though, you can just disable AGP and an AGP 
 card should work as a PCI one for the purposes of testing and 
 debugging.

No, because that seems to be the reason why it's still disabled: it
doesn't work well with AGP cards. Don't ask me why.

Anyway, I don't think this is a good reason to keep it disabled because
PCI GART will only be used with Option ForcePCIMode. But owners of PCI
cards would at least have a chance to try it without having to modify
the source.

I've been meaning to rip out the ugly code that disables it for a long
time but sadly haven't gotten around to it yet.


 The strange part is that if I set inittab to initdefault 3 and
 use the startx command all works fine.  The biggest problem (not
 for me) is the login.  When my kids boot up the system and don't
 see the graphical login screen they panic and shut the machine
 off (just about as bad as a crash).
 
 That's odd.

Indeed.

 I've checked the Xfree86.log file and it ends abruptly when the
 system hangs around the area when the drm extensions(?) are
 being initialized.  If I disable drm in the XF config file the
 system doesn't hang, but of course the 3D performance sucks,
 just ask Tuxracer...
 
 Sounds like the problem that occurs on x86 which caused Radeon 
 PCI to be disabled by default.

To me it rather sounds like using an X server where PCI GART is enabled
with a DRM where it isn't.

RE: [XFree86] startx fails

Title: RE: [XFree86] startx fails





not beeing that much familiar with BSD,
but the messages do indicate to me
that your mainboard chipset is not
supported by your AGP(gart) implementation.


Check what sort of PCI-PCI/AGP bridge you do have
and find a matching driver for it, 
or find out why AGP does not load on your box.

 Subject: [XFree86] startx fails
 
 
 Hi
 
 I installed OpenBSD 3.2 on a PC (Asus AL440LX mainboard, 
 Diamond Viper 330 
 graphic card). When I enter startx the following message appears:
 
 (--) checkDevMem: using aperture driver /dev/xf86

 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
 newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
 reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)

Scusate ma non parlo l'inglese e non lo so scrivere ma un po' lo capisco 
soprattutto i termini tecnici. Ho una scheda video Matrox Millenium che 
non riesce a riconoscere il sistema Slackware Linux, che ho installato 
sulla mia macchina assieme ad altri sistemi. Potreste darmi indicazioni 
precise come configurare il display dato che con X86cfg non ci sono 
riuscito ci sono dei parametri che riconoscano la scheda Matrox

at least most users that do have troubles finding a driver

Could not agree more. Especially since people seem to have forgotten the

[XFree86] Missing XFree86 DGA Extension

2003-01-15 Thread Steven P. Auerbach




I am running VMware on my Linux box, running Red Hat 8.0. This software (which runs Windows under Linux) has a full-screen mode, which I successfully used under Red Hat 7.3. Now, when I start VMware, I get the message:

XFree86 DGA extension not present. 
Either your X Server is built without this extension,
or it is not configured to use it.
XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) initialization
failed.

I'm using XFree86 Version 4.20, with an nVidia Quadro2 EX card.

Any help in sorting this out would be appreciated.

[XFree86] Problems when using dual headed mode (i815 + S3-Virge)

2003-01-15 Thread root
I have a problem when using dual headed mode. I have a i815 motherboard
an a S3-Virge PCI card. Both alone work faultless.
When I start the PCI card first I have a V_BIOS not found message and
nothing works. Therefore I start the AGP (on board chip) 
first and get two grey X-windows, but sending a x command to the i815
card ends in a restart of the X-server and nothing is displayed.
The PCI card works ok.

I have a 2.4.20 kernel with agpgart enabled, the /dev/agpgart device is
there (if the PCI card is not in the system the i815 is working ok
without the xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 1024 pages failed
warning. I think this warning is critical and is actually an error.

Why did the allocation of the GART memory only fail if an additional PCI
card is put in the motherboard?
What can I do to debug this failure?

I use a recent version of XFree86, but it didn't work on older versions
either.

Re: [XFree86] URGENT: Settings for Nvidia Riva TNT2 M 64

Those aren't actually errors, as long as X starts.
Those are just warnings, indicating that some mode
that X could concievably (sp?) use, but there's not
enough VRAM or some such to use them. Not harmful
unless you want to use those modes.

Under Debian there is a program for configuring XF86Config-4 called
dpkg-reconfigure.  It can be used to configure lots of Debian packages.
Just type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and you should have not
problem getting a working xserver up.

Re: [XFree86] Beforelight screensaver is totally nonfunctional

 For the last few XFree86 releases, the beforelight screensaver

   I did the following sequence:

2)  verify clients with http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/restest.c.

3)  run beforelight.

4)  Observe new client with restest and verify that there is now a 
_MIT_SCREEN_SAVER_ID root property belonging to that client ID.

5)  Kill beforelight.

6)  Note that the root window property still exists, and so does the
client, but the client no longer has any resources.  Therefore,
trying to free the _MIT_SCREEN_SAVER_ID should fail.

   I don't know what's supposed to have happened here, but I'm wondering
why the client didn't go away when it was killed.

[XFree86] locale.alias is missing en_GB.UTF-8

2003-01-15 Thread J. Grant
Hi,

I've noticed that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
is missing en_GB.UTF-8, I think this should be added, as it is present 
in other locales.

Also out of interest, I noticed that en was an alias of en_US, is there 
a reason for this? I would have expected en to be an alias of en_GB.

In other cases where several countrys have adopted to speak the same 
language the origional country is the default, eg de == de_DE not de_AT 
or de_CH etc.  fr is an alias of fr_FR not fr_BE or fr_CA etc.

Regards

JG

your RAMDAC is not supported.
must be a problem of the package maintainer if it worked formerly.
maybe you want to contact RedHat first?

The problem here is that this specific video card is not 
supported with the s3 driver, however when switching from 
3.3.6+4.x with prior releases, where this card used 3.3.6, the 
default was changed to the 4.x native driver, and in 4+ months of 
beta testing, not one person reported the card not working with 
the s3 driver.

The workaround, is to use the vesa driver for unsupported 
hardware.  If anyone has unsupported hardware like this, they 
should file a bug report in Red Hat bugzilla:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla

This allows me to more easily troubleshoot the problem and come 
up with a fix or a workaround which is adequate, and make that 
the default for the future.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps, there is no config file for X on your system? Look for 
/etc/X11/XF86Config
If in doubt, you can reconfigure your X with xf86configure.

   This looks like a problem with your motherboard bios.  Try
flashing a newer bios on it.  Windows can probably do a better
job of resolving conflicts than XFree86 can.

 I've been looking at this myself.  `man Xcursor` will give you a bit more

 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme and remove the line
 
 Inherits=redglass
 
 or change it to 
 
 Inherits=
 
 then startx again, it should revert to the solid cursor.
 
 I've just found a way to do this on a per-user basis, too.  Create a
 ~/.icons/default/index.theme reading
 
 [Icon Theme]
 Inherits=
 
 Also, some window managers might be able to load their own cursors.  YMMV.

Or export XCURSOR_THEME=default.

I dont currently have a mouse attached, and so the mouse device is set to /dev/null.  
I have tried
the -allowMouseOpenFail but it didn't help.

I start the XFree86 -xf86config ./XFree86.conf.new after running XFree86 -configure 
and all that
happens is the screen goes black, and the keyboard stops responding.

Ctl-Alt-Backspace doesn't do anything.  The caps light test fails as well.

I have to kill the Xfree86 process with a kill -9.

The machine continues to respond to the network (ie, the kernel is fine)

To get the console back I must reboot.

XFree86 -scanpci shows:
(1:0:0) ATI card using a ATI Mach64 GM

any ideas?

 A few people have posted some patches that attempt to make Radeon

Mike, this is FUD. First of all, PCI GART has been enabled on powerpc as
well for a while, and several people have reported it to work well with
PCI cards on x86.

I enabled Radeon PCI for x86 in Red Hat Linux 7.3.  The result 
was people who did have Radeon PCI filing bug reports, or 
email/IRC traffic showing that people were experiencing problems.  
I did not receive any comments from people who did actually get 
it working on x86, and so I disabled it.

Discussions on dri-devel later showed that other people had 
attempted this as well and it did not work.  Some patches came 
floating around that some people claimed worked.  I never tried 
them, however my recollection was that the patches did not get 
into CVS and weren't explored much further by anyone.

I contacted ATI to get some PCI Radeon hardware, and have planned 
on experimenting with it.  It hasn't been the highest priority to 
me however, but I did test the Radeon PCI hardware I have out 
with the 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 releases to no avail.

So it most definitely is not FUD.  If it worked for as many 
people as are claiming it does now, then I'd assume it wouldn't 
be disabled in CVS by default.  It'd also likely work on one of 
the 4 machines I've tested it on - but doesn't.


 Anyone interested in testing out these types of patches need not 
 have a Radeon PCI though, you can just disable AGP and an AGP 
 card should work as a PCI one for the purposes of testing and 
 debugging.

No, because that seems to be the reason why it's still disabled: it
doesn't work well with AGP cards. Don't ask me why.

I can confirm that.  I received many bug reports on AGP cards due 
to this as well, since some users recompile their own kernels, 
not all users remember or are aware enough to also compile 
agpgart.  That, coupled with a glitch in our installer which 
caused K5/K6/Cyrix systems to get an i386 kernel with no AGP 
support, created extra problems with PCIGART enabled.


Anyway, I don't think this is a good reason to keep it disabled
because PCI GART will only be used with Option ForcePCIMode.
But owners of PCI cards would at least have a chance to try it
without having to modify the source.

Instead of giving them the chance... Lets just fix it if we can.  
;o)

I'd much prefer to fix it.  I don't know when I'll have the time 
to poke at it though, but it is high on my personal todo list, 
along with other Radeon things.


I've been meaning to rip out the ugly code that disables it for a long
time but sadly haven't gotten around to it yet.

I can send you my patch if you like.


 I've checked the Xfree86.log file and it ends abruptly when the
 system hangs around the area when the drm extensions(?) are
 being initialized.  If I disable drm in the XF config file the
 system doesn't hang, but of course the 3D performance sucks,
 just ask Tuxracer...
 
 Sounds like the problem that occurs on x86 which caused Radeon 
 PCI to be disabled by default.

To me it rather sounds like using an X server where PCI GART is enabled
with a DRM where it isn't.

Yeah, could be that I suppose also.  Do you have PCI Radeon
hardware to fiddle with?

Actually, it does fall back to PCI GART when PCIGART_ENABLED is defined.
My intention is to require Option ForcePCIMode (at least until there's
a way to tell the slot type), see

Re: [XFree86] Missing XFree86 DGA Extension

 I'm using XFree86 Version 4.20, with an nVidia Quadro2 EX card.

So, what /is/ your configuration?

And what does the logfile look like? (/var/log/XFree86.0.log or something
like it -- it will tell us if it was compiled in or not, whether it tried
to initialize it or not, etc.)

And what version of VMWare are we talking about?

Could it be an old one that can only use DGA 1 and RH 7.3 used an X server
that supported DGA 1 whereas your current one only supports DGA 2?

Just an idea...

do you see any chance for disabling DRI/DRM module loading

[XFree86] Problem configuring VESA mode on Suse 8.1 Pro with an ATI IGP-340 card

2003-01-15 Thread Ben Taylor
I have an HP Pavilion Laptop (ZE4100) with a SXGA+ screen (1400x1050)
that I am triple booting with Solaris 9, XP and Suse 8.1.  I found
a mode line for the screen to use with a script that converts to Solaris 
format,
and VESA mode is working fine in Solaris, at 1400x1050, 24-bit.

However, Suse 8.1 just refuses to go above 1024x768 in 16-bit, regardless
of how I configure the monitor.  I've tried both VESA and LCD settings,
and have not had any success.  The SaX2 interface will let me use a
higher resolution setting, but when it comes down to testing, it just
goes to 1024x768.

The ATI IGP-340 is a new, and not yet supported card, which is why I'm
using the VESA mode.  I would have thought if I could get Solaris to do
it, that it would be a cinch with Linux.

Thoughts or ideas?

Thanks,

Ben

Title: RE: [XFree86] XFree crashes ...



Dear 
Alex,

First 
thanks for your help! Well honestly I do not know how to disable that module, I 
looked in XF86Config but couldn't find anything relating to DRI/DRM. I did 
disable a few things I found in there though (dbe,type1,freetype) but that 
didn't seem to help. Should I post my XF86Config file?

I 
forgot to mention that X once did start up when I had my laptop in a docking 
station - the only thing that didn't work 100% was the resolution. However I 
have taken it out since I don't use the docking station - I only needed it to 
install Gentoo ...

I now 
saw in the log file that there are dozens of other modules loaded during startup 
- should and can I try to disable some of them (even though I didn't find them 
in the XF86Config file)?

Thank 
you!

Ingmar.

[XFree86] Multihead failure with 3 ATI Radeon 7000 (VE)

2003-01-15 Thread Don
I have been beating my head against this problem for 3 days now and felt
it was time to head to the experts.

I have a system with 1 AGP Radeon 7000 and 2 PCI ATI Radeon 7000's.

These cards are (I believe) from Saphire and powered by ATI. They have a
VGA output, a DVI output and an S-video output.

I can display on each monitor individually. They will not work at the same
time however. I have tried a number of variations on this configuration
file. I have tried disabling every option I can think of and nothing has
helped.

The specific error is:
(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.

As far as I can tell, however, there is a perfectly valid config section
for Screen 1.

If I alter the ServerLayout section to only reflect one screen, and I
specify only one card and test it, that card/monitor will work fine.

I have tested all three in this way and each one works.

I have tried disabling DRI, disabling DGA, etc. and nothing has helped.

I have searched on Google for similar problems but I have failed to find
one that matches mine. This is probably because I lack search technique.

This is version 4.2.1, 3 September 2002 running on FreeBSD 5.0-RC3

Attached is my XF86Config file and the log file.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
-Don

[XFree86] startx problems.

2003-01-15 Thread Greg Julius
I have been having a ton of problems with my RH 8.0 associated with my i845 
chipset on my motherboard.

I have put in the 4.2.20 kernel - just fine now.  I installed the XFree86 
4.2.99.3 binaries and things stopped.

I just did a XFree86 -configure and put the resulting configuration file in 
/etc/X11/XF86Config.  I restarted the system.  I did a startx.  Nothing but 
blank screen.  Edited the config file and replaced the i810 driver with 
vesa.  restarted the system again.  I did a startx.  This time I got 
something.  I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't my pretty interface 
before the binary install.  It a desktop for lack of a better term.  It 
had a clock (hard to read, but analog format).  It had two terminal windows 
with dark backgrounds and one terminal window with a light 
background.  exiting the light one exits everything.

1) How do I get my pretty interface back (GNOME)?  I tried switchdesk 
GNOME, but I got the same stuff.

2) Must I always reboot after I stop a startx?  If I don't I just get a 
blank screen.

Please help!  Any answer to any of these questions will be welcome.
-g

To Do:  Get GNOME back.  Get startx to restart without a reboot.  Get 
correct drivers in place.
