[I18n] XKB: ISO_Level3_Shift in group2
Hi,
We're wokring on New Iranian Keyborad Layout, and I'm making the new ir
XKB file. But I have a problem with ISO_Level3_Shift in group2.
We use us+ir for layout, and grp:shift_toggle for group switching. As
we have keys with 3 Level in new layout, i have make this file:
default partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols basic {
name[Group2]= Iranian;
key TLDE {
type[Group2]=THREE_LEVEL,
symbols[Group2]= [ 0x100200d, 0xf7, 0x7e ]
};
.
.
.
key AC01 {
type[Group2]=THREE_LEVEL,
symbols[Group2]= [ Arabic_sheen,Arabic_hamzaonwaw,
NoSymbol ]
};
.
.
.
key SPCE {
type[Group2]=THREE_LEVEL,
symbols[Group2]= [ 0x20,0x100200c, 0xa0 ]
};
key RALT { [ ISO_Level3_Shift ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { RALT };
};
But when I use a key, in group 2, with RALT, a ? will print.
Could anyone help me with this, or introduce a complete refrence of XKB?

Run xev programm, press the keys and see if they produce correct keysyms. If they don', it is a keyboard problem. But if the keysym in xev are correct but you get ? at printing it's a font issue.

Re: [XFree86] Cirrus Logic GD 7548 Woes
Unfortunately you may be pretty much on your own. the Cirrus driver is pretty much unsupported as noone who could support it has the HW. If you find a solution please let us know. The spikes and crackles usually appear when the memory bus is congested. Sometimes this can get fixed by reducing the pixel clock or increasing the memory clock. Unfortunately there is support for chaning the memory clock in this driver. Setting the option PCI_Retry may also help however the cirrus driver has no support for this. We have a similar report about a Cirrus Laguna chip in our bugzilla. Egbert. Richard Lynch writes: Please CC me with any replies... I confess I'm not a regular reader, much less contributor, but have contributed much in the distant past to the PHP mailing list, FWIW. And I'll certainly add the info to the on-line database of your choice if we get this working! Hardware: Canon Innova Book 490 CDT (laptop) I can get X to sort of run at both 640x480 and 800x600. But it's all crackly -- like watching TV in the middle of a heavy wind-storm with a 1950's antenna. Lots of streaks and speckles, mostly black/white when the background is grey or white, and indigo blue when the background is black... It's all kinda speckly when it starts up as well, dividing the screen into chunks and the X cursor is, like, repeated six-fold in same-size array 3x2, with missing pixels in each repetition. Hope that makes sense. I've tried poking at the Config file and disabling accel and MMIO based on on-line research to no effect, and I'm running out of things to try, other than random ModeLine settings. I've uploaded my Config file and X log files to: http://www.l-i-e.com/xfree86/ so those of you who understand all that stuff could maybe take a peek, without cluttering up the list with them. Some ramblings that may be useful. Or not. I seem to recall that I fought this fight before, and won, but only by dumping the window manager that comes with the X downloadable binaries, and compiling everything from source, errr, maybe on another box?, and ... But maybe that was on my OTHER laptop (that got stolen). It's been s long since I tried to use X on this laptop, and I had to rip it out to make room for something else, and now I've lost my notes, and the on-line contribution I made back when there were only two (2) X laptop databases to contribute to seems to be AWOL... I can't get enough hard drive space to compile from source, which I usually prefer... While I've got your ear, some other issues: I'm not real fond of the Sparc-like X behaviour, but I've only got so much disk space and so much patience for compiling on a 133... Recommendations for a lightweight window manager that's more like Gnome would be most welcome. Can I compile X on a desktop and just copy all the stuff over?... It's not going to detect all the hardware properly, though, is it? Or is that all done at run-time? I don't really grok when X decides which modules/libraries to build and how. What would I have to do to get my fast (faster anyway) desktop to compile X for my laptop without screwing up the desktop settings? I've read some stuff that seems to apply, but it wasn't simplistic enough for my poor brain.

[XFree86] How to get IP of a client terminal in XDMCP-session?
Hi, First, I'm new to the list, so Hello! :o) I'm running a Linux-server and -terminal both with XFree 4.3.0. The terminal is interfaced by XDMCP/KDM to the server. On the server I want to set the environment variable ARTS_SERVER=ip:port. Is there any way to get the IP of a connected terminal in a session from XFree/XDMCP/KDM to use in a script for setting the evironment variable?

[XFree86] image that causes LCD to flicker violently
Hi everyone, I've noticed that some websites cause my screen to flicker. It seems to have something to do with something in the image that is attached to this email.. To reproduce the flickering, all I need to do is open the png in full size and move it to the left edge of the screen, and then my LCD will flicker violently. I'm really not sure what the cause of it might be, although it could be * the r128 ati driver * gatos drivers * something in XFree86 server itself * Thinkpad a22p firmware Does this image cause the same effect for anyone else here?

Re: [XFree86] Cirrus Logic GD 7548 Woes
Unfortunately you may be pretty much on your own. the Cirrus driver is pretty much unsupported as noone who could support it has the HW. Would it be practical to: A) Provide SSH root access to somebody @XFree86.org, or B) Ship somebody the laptop as a loaner C) ??? Obviously A) is much easier, but I dunno what you can tell without seeing the screen, and I don't have a web-cam handy... Though I do need to set one up eventually anyway, so I reckon I could move that higher on the priority list. And, of course, the odds on XFree86 folks having the time to mess with this are pretty small unless a lot of people have these things and so it's worth it to you to support them. If you find a solution please let us know. The spikes and crackles usually appear when the memory bus is congested. Sometimes this can get fixed by reducing the pixel clock or increasing the memory clock. I'll try that. Pixel clock is the dot clock right? What's the memory clock? Unfortunately there is support for chaning the memory clock in this driver. [no] support right? Guess I don't really care what a memory clock is then, eh? Better to know for tomorrow's laptop though. :-) Setting the option PCI_Retry may also help however the cirrus driver has no support for this. We have a similar report about a Cirrus Laguna chip in our bugzilla. To be sure I understand -- My only course of action on my own is to try successively lower dot clocks in various ModeLines until I find one that works. Right? Any recommended increments? Or is there some kind of algorithm for guessing these things, based on the one that kinda sorta works? Or should I attack it right at the minimum: (==) CIRRUS(0): Min pixel clock is 12 MHz (--) CIRRUS(0): Max pixel clock is 80 MHz (II) CIRRUS(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 80.10 MHz THANKS!!! -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] ModeLine rejected == Default Used
While attempting (and failing) to find a ModeLine that works, I found some oddities. I've put in some very wide ranges for Horizontal and Vertical timings. The log file shows them as being accepted, near as I can tell. Various ModeLines I was trying would be rejected (illegal vertical timings), but I just figured that was you guys being smart (yay!) and saving me from blowing up my monitor or something... But then I put in one that was rejected, and the SAME numbers end up getting used anyway as one of the default settings. Is that weird, or am I just not understanding something? I suppose it's possible that ModeLines from idiots (me) would be rejected as dangerous while others that got hand-checked somehow (?) by geniuses (you guys) would have the same numbers and work as defaults, but that seems kind of odd... XF86Config and XFree86.0.log (revised slightly from previous post) are here: http://l-i-e.com/xfree86/ It's still very speckly, though the lower dot-clocks seem to make it more vertical streaky rather than speckly at least until I move the mouse around... Just what sort of fine-grained numbers should one try in the binary search between a ModeLine that is speckly (dot clock too high?) and one that is rejected out of hand? IE, if 15.00 is illegal vertical timings and 15.01 is speckly, is 15.005 an option or do I just give up at that point? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
