Hi! first good news: it works! At least vmware does not complain and scrolling is indeed fast. However, I've just started the new X for the first time and did not do much testing.

Nope, I was using 4.2.0 from SuSE, which was capable to work with my 845G (probably suse 4.2.0 is patched or whatever), but I've also tried one of the binary releases of 4.2.99. I'm assuming you're using the CVS version, and that's where the fix is. If you're not using the CVS version, then you can probably find the patch via cvsweb.xfree86.org.

Re: Multiple video consoles
Absolutely right, but ... This can be done if two servers are used. The point I was making earlier in this thread was that used hacked kernels and servers are a bad thing. If two consoles (including keyboards) could be operated on a single box, then two separate X servers could also be run. The biggest problem is not the display, but rather that both X and Linux have a single console keyboard ingrained in their code. Any thoughts on how this might be circumvented using existing pieces?

Stepping outside the box with XAA drivers?
Hi Guys, I am trying to work out if it is possible to 'step outside the box' so to speak when writing an XAA driver module for XFree86 4.0. Basically there are some functions that we think we can implement faster if we hooked them at a higher level in the X server than to implement them via just the XAA provided hooks. Say for something like the text rendering functions. Is there a way to directly hook into the rendering model above the XAA layer so we can accelerate some things with a more efficient model than just XAA? Back in the old days of XFree86 3.x it was easy because everything was in a single server binary, but with the loadable module system I am not sure if this is possible or not. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --- Kendall Bennett Chief Executive Officer SciTech Software, Inc.

There isn't anything above the XAA layer. XAA lets drivers hook things at 2 or 3 different levels. It's just not documented. Watch the LOW, MID and GC level in xaaInitAccel.c. LOW is the documented interface. XAA builds MID from LOW, builds GC from MID. GC is the top level.

I think BadMatch can happen with GetImage only if the app
trys to grab outside of the window. I think xmag grabs on the
root window to avoid this, but can only do this when the depth
of the window in question is the root depth. You don't have
different depth windows do you (overlay, depth 32 windows).
It looks like it knows how to clamp to the window dimensions.
Maybe you can get a backtrace with a debug xmag?
Maybe it has something to do with RandR?

NVidia driver (open source) on Apple Powerbook G4 12
Hello XFree developer team, I recently got the new Apple Powerbook G4 12. GPU is a Geforce4 440 Go 64M (lspci -vv attached). I'm running X 4.3 for Debian from http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/. It works so far, but the framebuffer (openfirmware framebuffer) doesn't get restored correctly if I quit X or change with ctrl-alt-F1 back to console. The screen stays black but I can do everything as normal (type reboot blindly or switch back to X, ...). Perhaps the nvidia driver does not handle the console switch correctly... or there is a bug within the openfirmware framebuffer driver. best regards, Christoph00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc.

What does xwininfo say the Class is? It should be InputOnly.
Depth 0 windows are InputOnly.
Can you poke around in xmag's FindWindow? Maybe the logic
in there is busted. I'm not really following what it's supposed
to be doing. Looks like it starts at the root and works it's way
towards the pointer (out of the screen) until the last InputOutput
window, which is the only type it can grab from. I would guess it
wants the frontmost InputOutput window under the pointer.

I think BadMatch can happen with GetImage only if the app
trys to grab outside of the window. I think xmag grabs on the
root window to avoid this, but can only do this when the depth
of the window in question is the root depth. You don't have
different depth windows do you (overlay, depth 32 windows).
It looks like it knows how to clamp to the window dimensions.

[XFree86] Mouse repeater annoyance
Hi, I am currently using RC2 (upgraded yesterday from 4.2.1) and is irritated by a 8-9 second freeze of X when switching to X from the console. This seems to happen because X is set to use a mouse repeater (that does not respond to commands), combined with that X resets the mouse when swithing to X from the console. This (long) freeze did not happen in 4.2.1, but probably changed with these: 835. Avoid endless loop when initializing an PS/2 mouse behind a repeater (Egbert Eich). 756. PS/2 mice initialization sequence changed: rerun entire sequence when something goes wrong - this needs to be rewritten completely after 4.3 is out (Egbert Eich). This is a what I think is happening (mouse.c:initMouseHW): 10 retries of 10 resets doing xf86WaitForInput(pInfo-fd, 20) Send first byte init sequence doing 1 usleep xf86WaitForInput(pInfo-fd, 20) 3 usleep Why reset the mouse when switching to X in the first place ?

(It can't if I have read the code correct, so the actual question is whether it is to late to do anything about it) It isn't so much turning it off, but while the X server is switched away, something else may have put the mouse into some other state; eg most wheel mice can speak either PS/2 or IMPS/2. -- Dr. Andrew C.

RE: [XFree86] window client
Perhaps you should consider VNC ( http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ ). The version for Linux creates a separate virtual desktop for each copy of the server that is run. This can be connected to with the VNC client (available also for Windows) over a network, allowing you to run Linux/X Window System applications on the Linux system and have them display on the Windows system. If that's not what you were intending, please clarify your post a bit. As far as I know (I'm new here, so I can't be certain), it's ok to be a little more wordy (i.e. provide more details about your system and software configuration, and about what you want to do) if it means that your post can be better understood. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sushil Waghavkar Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 3:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [XFree86] window client hi i currently insatalled redhat 7.x i want to following to work. i want to connect from windows client to linux run X services from windows client pl give me necessary steps reagrds ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Re: [XFree86] Keyboard not working with latest CVS
Hi again, I just upgraded to CVS and my keyboard stopped working. I dug a little deeper, now I have the keyboard (mostly) working. I didn't realize at first, but the Xserver was printing to the console this (*), which I include at the end of the email.

Those problems are caused by your installation not being complete.
The defintions for the unrecognised keysyms are in lib/X11/XKeysymDB,
so you need to update that file.
The only problem remaining is that the Alt Gr characters in the
spanish keyboard don't work. For those who don't know, there are some
keys with three characters on them (2 @ for example), and the third

Re: [XFree86] XFree86-4.3.0rc2 and Radeon VE - sometimes works, sometimesnot
Out of curiosity, are you using the regular VGA port on the card, or the DVI-VGA adapter with the monitor plugged into the DVI port on the card? (I'm guessing you're using a CRT monitor.) I don't know if that will help, but I know that with XF86 4.1.0, I had to plug my monitor into the DVI port on my VE with the DVI-VGA adapter, but XF86 4.2.0 worked without the adapter. Perhaps this is what's happening. It sounds like it's trying to use an LCD monitor. In any case, I haven't noticed any problems here with X 4.2.99.902 + DRI-CVS on my VE.

[XFree86] Dell E171FP flat panel config problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
hi all,
i read the recent thread on configuring XF86 to work with a dell
1800FP, but i'm having slightly different problems with my display,
a Dell E171FP. i would appreciate any guidance on the following:
1) the only file generated by xf86config or redhat-config-xfree86
is /etc/X11/XF86Config -- it doesn't ever make an XF86Config-4.
does this matter? (i do see a file called [EMAIL PROTECTED],
but if i copy that to /etc/X11/XFree86Config-4, startx aborts with
a signal 8.)
2) monitor specs are for bit depths of 8, 16 ('high color'), and
32 ('true color'). but i only see 8, 16, and *24* in the configs.
invoking startx with -fbbpp 32 doesn't seem to do anything. is
there a way to determine whether this driver can do 32bpp, or am
i stuck with 16 (24?)? (dell's specs for this display are posted
at http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/monitors/e171fp/en/specs.htm).
3) no matter what settings i put in XF86Config (whether editing by
hand or through one of the config tools), startx initally puts the
monitor in a mode it can't display. ctrl-alt-num_+/- gets me to a
mode it can display. if i run redhat-config-xfree86 and do the
advanced autoprobing stuff, it correctly recognizes the monitor
and the video card (intel 845). but if i accept the autoprobed
settings and restart X, it not only goes into the same can't
display this mode nonsense, but ctrl-alt-num_+/- no longer works.
i have to ctrl-alt-backspace and restore the config from
/etc/X11/XF86Config.backup.
i've included the relevant bits of XF86Config (the version that
appears to be closest to working) and the full output of startx
below. any help would be *sincerely* appreciated.
thanks very much in advance,
sasha m.

Re: [XFree86] Help me!
The people at [EMAIL PROTECTED] need just a _little_ more information about your setup. For instance, what ATI card are you using? If it's a Radeon, which one? 9000? 7500? 8500? VE? Please be sure to give the exact model number. Then, which XFree86 server version are you using? This can be tricky to tell most times, but it's safe to assume that it's one of the 4.X servers. It might be easier to tell us if you're using a particular distribution and version of that distribution. For instance, you might say that you are having trouble getting your ATI Radeon 9000 to work on Redhat 8.0 (I pulled this straight out of the air.) From that, they would know what card you are using, and they could even make a good guess as to what server you're using. Even then, they might need to know exactly what problems you're having (problems related to 2-D? 3-D?), but you would have given them more to work with so that they could possibly tell you right away something like Oh, yeah, we're still working on that. It doesn't work at all right now. Anyway, here's hoping for better bug reports in the future! http://www.xfree86.org/cgi-bin/bugform.cgi -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Also, try generating a new config file with: X -configure and then editing that one to taste. -Andy ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Re: [XFree86] XFree86-4.3.0rc2 and Radeon VE - sometimes works, sometimes not
There are some known problems with OEM cards (it appears to be your case). The fixes for these problems haven't been merged into 4.3 release because there is not enough time. Meanwhile you can try two thing: 1. Make sure your monitor is connected during the boot. Don't plug/unplug monitor(s) after boot. 2. Use Option CloneDisplay 0 If you still have the same problem and you know how to deal with source code, you can try following patch. http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/DRI/radeon-ddc.diff Hui I am testing XFree86-4.3.0rc2 (binary from ftp.xfree86.org) on Linux-2.4.20, with Radeon VE, ECS K7S5A and Duron-1000. Problem is: sometimes X starts, sometimes they just show infamous message: (EE) RADEON(0): No valid mode found for this DFP/LCD I search on google, and solution was to add: Option CrtScreen But it didn't help, I got still same message. Strange thing is - XFree86-4.2.0 _always_ starts well. I have only problem with 4.3.0rc2. Is it problem with my configuration?
