Re: Make install blows away startup files?
Kendall Bennett wrote: Hi Guys, I have been mass compiling and installing multiple versions of XFree86 onto a machine for compatibility testing (Red Hat 7.3 based, so I can use the GDB hacked up debugger ;-). However whenever I do a 'make install' from a freshly built 4.2.0, 4.2.1 or 4.3.0 (haven't done any ealier versions yet ;-), it always blows away something in the startup files so when I do a 'startx', all I get is a desktop with three console windows open (seems to be using twm as the window manager). If I copy all the files from the original Red Hat 7.3 /etc/X11 directory across, it starts up just fine using the GNOME desktop. Firstly, I don't know what file is being destroyed or replaced. Does anyone know what file is getting replaced? Secondly it seems to me that a 'make install' should be non-destructive and should not be changing this file. I have not changed any of the defaults in the host.def file, so it seems to me that it is bug that after a make install over the top of an existing XFree86 install, XFree86 no longer functions the way it did before. Is there an option to fix this in the host.def file? If so, perhaps this should be the default option when doing a make install?? BTW, I am using a script to symlink /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 for each version so I can switch between all versions with a simple command ;-) Depends somewhat on how RH does X init. You can look through startx and xinit setup and see what's being changed. I know on SuSE that 'make install' breaks the KDM/xdm startup, and that they use a WINDOWMANAGER environment variable in their X init pieces. If you don't have that variable set, then you'll get either no wm or twm. But doing a source install over your distro's install tree is really up to you to resolve. -- Kevin ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

[XFree86] Problem with GUI
Hi, I am unable to go to the GUI environment in linux. It directly goes to the shell environment even though I selected GUI mode during installation. Also, 'startx' command gives an error stating 'fatal server error, no screens found'. It also gives that XIO: Fatal IO error 104(Connection reset by peer) on X Server :0.0 after 0 requests (0 known Processed) with 0 events remaining. Also, when I first installed Linux, it went to the blue screens which has two garbled values. After pressing enter, it went to the shell environment and it never went to that screen too. Also, let us know the Video RAM for configuration. Please help me to resolve this issue. I look forward to your response.

Re: [XFree86] Problem with GUI
It would help to help you if you would provide some information. The GUI is provided by the program XFree86 which uses a configuration file usually called something like XF86Config. If you could post that file and the log file created by XFree86, it could provide a lot of information about what your problem is. Also, you could tell who distributes your version of Linux and what version of the distribution it is. Some examples of distributaions are Red Hat 7.2 or 8.0, Mandrake 7.0 and so on. Distributions are a clue as to where these files might be found. In Red Hat 8.0, they are found in /etc/X11/ and /var/log/, respectively.

Re: [XFree86] Problems with changing resolution
I think I've figured this one out. If you list the screen resolutions (in the Screen section) with a higher resolution AFTER a lower resolution, then the first resolution in the list will be the default with the highest resolution in the list being the resolution of the virtual display that always shows up under these circumstances whether you asked for it or not.

[XFree86] Keyboard Macros in X
(If you think you've seen a question like this before, you probably have -- I've posted it in a number of places, including the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list with the mistaken notion that it was the one list that replaced all (or most) of the old XFree86.org lists (like xpert). I've also posted this as a bug on the new Bugzilla -- IIRC it's number 43.) I guess it's really a series of questions: Does X have any facility to let you use keyboard macros (by that I mean the ability to assign a (arbitrary) string to a single (special) key (like ctrlalts) such that the string is entered into the current application when the key is pressed? To the best of my knowledge, xmodmap will not let you assign more than one key(symbol) to a single keypress (I'm sure I have the terminology messed up, and I don't mean different keys for the various shifts, I mean a string of keysymbols to one particular shift. Someone has suggested Xim might help me, and I'm sporadically reading about it, but I can't tell whether it's really an end user tool (I just have to assign strings to keypresses) or if it's a programming tool (using Xim, I could write things like an Xim server to help me). Any input appreciated. Randy Kramer ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

[XFree86] Linux 8 install fails on xfree86
Hi Folks,
Please see the attached log file.
I had a small disk running Linux 5.2. I unsized the disk and installed 8.0
with everything other than the disk and the OS version the same. When
startx is executed a brief black screen appears then I get the command line
prompt again. If I reinstall the smaller disk with 5.2 all is ok.
Please let me know what I've missed or if this might be a bug.

I'm using gcc 2.95.3 and glibc 2.1.3. When I run the endgame screenhack from the xscreensavers collection and I move the window around and resize it, I can get X to lock up completely. In order to resolve the lockup, I need to log in from another machine and kill endgame. This can occur with other programs, but endgame seems to be most capable. This did not happen on XF86 4.2.0 but has happened since I've started to use XF86 CVS builds and it occurs with the DRI project's tree, as well. In case it might help, I notice that when I'm resizing the endgame window, for brief periods of time, I will see things that were displayed recently on the screen, like memory wasn't cleared when it was not needed anymore.

Re: [XFree86] Linux 8 install fails on xfree86
Could you explain in greater detail what do you mean by unsized the
disk? What is your hardware configuration and how was it different for
each installation? Did you select everything when the package manager
came up in the Red Hat 8.0 installation? If your hard drive was too
small, it might have ignored that and just installed what it could.
I've also had X Windows problems trying to squeeze a big installation on
to a small hard drive. It is possible to install XFree86 without any
windows managers. In other words, the actual programs that give you a
GUI are not completely installed. XFree86 does not do that. Gnome,
KDE, twm and the rest are what do that.

[XFree86] [Bug 80] New: 4.3 freezes on SMP with xinerama
[This e-mail has been automatically generated.] http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80 Summary: 4.3 freezes on SMP with xinerama Product: XFree86 Server Version: 4.3 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Render AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My XF86 v4.3 system locks up fairly soon after logging in - usually within twenty minutes, once in only five seconds. I've been on 4.2 for a few months and didn't have this problem - it only showed up when I went to 4.2.99.3 and 4.3. When this occurs, the pointer still moves, but nothing else responds. No keys seem to have any effect, including Ctrl-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp. The pointer will not cross display boundaries. This seems to occur when I'm performing some kind of mouse action - moving a window, resizing a window, pushing a button, traversing a hyperlink in a browser. If I just keep the focus on a single terminal window and just do typing, it doesn't happen. I'm using xinerama on a P3 SMP system with one head on a Radeon 7500 QW and the other on 3dfx voodoo 3000. I'm on a 2.4.17 kernel under the 4.2 system; the problem has occured with either a 2.4.19 or 2.4.20 kernel under the 4.3 or 4.2.99.3. Other things that may be clues: Occasionally things don't quite freeze, but become very slow. There have been times when I've tried to move a window, and thought that the screen had frozen, only to find that the window had repainted in the new location approx. 150-250 seconds later. Once the window has repainted, things return to normal speed. (until the next freeze) I'm running a gnome desktop. The problem has occured while running the metacity wm, as well as sawfish. One time I found this line at the end of the (old) log file after rebooting the machine, repeated about twenty five times: (EE) RADEON(1): Idle timed out, resetting engine... I've included that log file below. All the other times, no such error message appeared. -- XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19 i686 [ELF] Build Date: 30 March 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.
