Re: bugzilla #439: bufSize in lib/GL/glx/glxcmds.c can be too large.
Ian Romanick writes: I looked into the code, and I now understand what's going on. Alexis made a good catch of a very subtle bug! The main problem that I had was that it wasn't 100% clear at first glance how bufSize / buf / pc were used. Some form of - 8 should be applied to bufSize. I have attached the patch that I plan to apply to the DRI tree. I suspect that it has only cosmetic and / or commentary differences from your patch. Some things have moved around in the DRI tree, so this patch probably won't apply to the XFree86 tree. We can wait until the DRI stuff is merged back again. The patch indeed is very similar to what has been proposed in #439. I've also looked at the GLX code. At line 671 in glxext.c there is : maxSize = ctx-bufSize - sizeof(xGLXRenderLargeReq); Wouldn't we have to add sz_xGLXRenderReq there again? I suppose if the size is to small it is saver as if it is too big. Would you mind taking bug #439 and close it when the code is scheduled for merger with XFree86? Thanks a lot!

Hi!
Xfree86 source tree, pulled at 2003-06-30 this morning. It seems that
mkfontscale is generating the encodings.dir files in the wrong order.
The fontenc code expects the name filename order but mkfontscale
uses now filename name (which means that most encodings are not
recognised anymore when fonts.scale should be build).
I've attached a patch to fix the issue...
Bye,

imakemdep.h ... is this really correct?
All, At or about line 315 or a top-of-tree config/imake/imakemdep.h there is code that looks like this: #if defined(__GNUC__) !defined(USE_CC_E) #define USE_CC_E ... #endif I dont know when this was added, or even particularly why, but it seems wrong to me. Just because you are using GCC does NOT mean you want to use gcc -E as your CPP. In fact, I have just encountered a case where it even breaks things in unexpected ways. Here's the problem. I wanted to add the -mcpu=i686 -march=i586 lines to my .cf file. But gcc defines symbols like -D__i586__, -Di586, -D__i586 etc, which means that the generated Makefiles end up with -march=1 -mcpu=i686. This of course causes gcc to fail. Does anyone have any idea why this was deemed necessary, and would anyone be heartbroken if I removed that block of code?

Sottek, Matthew J writes: The Windows driver does full mode programming including all the external digital components from many 3rd party companies. The open source XFree This is pretty much what the SiS driver does after Thomas got his hands on it. It programms the SiS and it knows about several video bridges attached to it. driver sets modes by using the video bios. That way it does not have to have full programming capabilities for 3rd party components. The XFree driver is therefore limited to what the vbios can do while the Windows driver is not. It is nice to know that - yet it doesn't solve our problem. The users want to use their systems at resolutions and depths that are common these days and they care very little about it what the capablilities of the BIOS are. I know that the BIOS offers a rather easy way to get over the very difficult task of getting the video modes right. In fact I was the one who started the int10 and VESA BIOS stuff - mainly to get the secondary graphics boards posted. However we realize over and over again that the implementation of the VESA BIOS functions is done sloppy and that we are seeing more problems (which we cannot fix) as if we had gone the hard route. Anyway, the solution in this case however should be much simpler: the BIOS knows about the other modes as they get listed. It just refuses to set them them it doesn't see more than 892 kB of video memory. The BIOS just needs to be convinced of that. We had two ways of doing that. One was by setting some BIOS flags, the other was using a VESA BIOS interface. For whatever reason there is at least one more way. Now it is the BIOS vendors' term to provide us with the necessary information. Egbert. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: imake template to install files from a third directory

I need to process some files matching a mask (e.g. somedir/*.xpm) without having to list them all in a makefile. There is an InstallMultiple(list,dest) macro, but it takes a file list as an argument, so that's exactly what I want to avoid. I believe that this is quite a general task, so I dare to propose a new template. Please see the attached patch. I would appreciate any ideas about this patch or maybe there are good reasons not to have such a template? Better ways to do this? I've looked all over the X sources and I was not able to find a case where we don't supply a list. However have you tried to use somedir/*.xpm in InstallMultiple()? InstallMultiple() does a for i in $LIST; do... if $LIST gets replaced by somedir/*.xpm it should do what you have in mind.

Re: imakemdep.h ... is this really correct?
I dont know when this was added, or even particularly why, but it seems wrong to me. Just because you are using GCC does NOT mean you want to use gcc -E as your CPP. Yes, it does. Why? This is defining the CPP to use for porcessing Imakefile's. Many many UNIXes provide /lib/cpp as a general preprocessing tool. GCC or any other compiler is an extension package. Imake is used in environments outside of X11, albeit infrequently. IMHO, imake should be biased to using tools that are as generic as possible, not as specific as possible. Linux, and others, also provide /lib/cpp or /usr/bin/cpp or some equivalent, there is no need to use gcc -E. By forcing USE_CC_E in imakemdep.h, you completely eliminate the ability for a platform's .cf file to set the desired cpp with CppCmd. Look at how it is used in imahe.c, circa line 314. USE_CC_E is designed, as I remember and as I read the code, for systems that do NOT provide a suitable /lib/cpp or other preprocessor. I stand by that assertion I made earlier ... setting USE_CC_E just because of the compiler I chose is wrong. You are making global system decisions based on a compiler setting. Thats just plain wrong. Beef up SCO's section in Imake.cf to more closely match Linux's. Perhaps this should be more globally done for any platform using GCC. That looks like you are fixing a bug created by a bug, not a bug created by a problem. You do realize that all of that trickery for Linux would not be needed if those lines in imakemdep.h were removed? s/ deemed//. Builds break on platforms where gcc is not the default compiler. I dont understand how. If gcc is not the default compiler the .cf defines CppCmd. Thats the right place to fix it.

You do realize that all of that trickery for Linux would not be needed if those lines in imakemdep.h were removed? s/ deemed//. Builds break on platforms where gcc is not the default compiler. I dont understand how. If gcc is not the default compiler the .cf defines CppCmd. Thats the right place to fix it. SCO doesnt have gcc as its default compiler, and it works quite fine with those lines removed from imakemdep.h. Different pre-processors have, in general, different pre-defines. Using a different pre-processor to generate Makefiles than that used to pre-process the C source is asking for trouble (and getting it). While that might not be the case for SCO by some happenstance, it definitely is on Solaris and IRIX, to name two.

Disabled mode writeback to client program from MGA driver (Egbert Eich). This doesn't compile on RedHat 6.2 / egcs-2.91.66 Hi Andrew, Yes, thanks! Mattieu already told me. It builds with gcc 3.3 (however issues warnings). I'll commit a little different fix later. I have been thinking to remove the Matrox HAL stuff completely and tell Matrox to ship this stuff in their binary only driver. I had to program around so many things in the HALlib. Furthermore using our driver with this lib is quite rediculous. This lib does allmost all initialization. Only the hw cursor, dri and accel functions are taken from our driver. I'd be very unhappy to lose the HAL; it helps a lot when getting a G550 to work with DVI monitors. Some monitors work without it, but others just don't seem to work unless I use mga_hal_drv.o Maybe the situation would be better if the mga_hal module was limited to doing just those initialisations that can't, for whatever reasons, be done in open source. If I recall correctly, the original reason for not having this in open source was that enabling the second display on the G400 couldn't be done without exposing how macrovision could be disabled (or something like that). I get the impression that the mga_hal module went beyond what was originally intended, and it definitely makes a mess of the mga driver, as Egbert noted. I believe that the /tmp/mgaDriverIn/Out stuff is only used by the MGA PowerDesktop, and I can live without that, but please don't remove the HAL. When the PowerDesktop stuff was originally discussed a while back, it was recommended that it be implemented via a server extension. That recommendation was obviously ignored. What Matrox puts in their own driver is their business, but it definitely doesn't belong in XFree86 in its current state.

Re: mkfontscale strikes again
Juliusz Chroboczek wrote: Please test http://bugs.xfree86.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=425 This fixes the -n -r problems for me, and compiles OK. However, are you trying to emulate the exact semantic behavious of mkfontdir? If so then the way you implement doEncodings is incorrect. In mkfontdir, it first does the unlink (removing the file) and then creates it if there are encodings to output. It does this regardless of whether or nor you specify -e. If there are no encodings there is no file, not a file with just a 0 (which is what will currently be produced). Its ordering is also different, which may or may not have an impact. The function that produces encodings.dir is only run *after* the font tables are written, and only if that work didnt produce an error. If these semantics are unimportant then ignore the above. Please also note that the -x option conflicts with the usage in mkfontdir. In mkfontscale it means add an encoding. In mkfontdir it means ignore the following suffix. This is part of the reason why the fonts.dir file created during the build is a little more than double the size it needs to be, because -x isn't working. If the -x option is really entrenched in mkfontscale, then the mkfontdir wrapper is going to have to parse all arguments and convert a -x to some other option that does the same thing in mkfontscale. If you dont want to do that work let me know I'll happily add both the argument to mkfontscale and the mods to the mkfontdir script to cope with it. It would be much easier if we can just change the current -x option to be something else though. Kean ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Dell locks their pre-allocated (once called stolen) memory at 1MB and therefore you will be limited in modes on Linux since the VBIOS limits its modes to the amount of pre-allocated memory. Intel has implemented a workaround, but it would require Dell to implement one of Intels latest VBIOS drops in there systems BIOS and then update the system BIOS. I would expect any 855 release of system BIOS from Dell in the next 2 months to have the VBIOS that allows the Xserver to report memory it allocated to the VBIOS and the modes could be adjusted.

The first is that the system-provided FreeType library isn't (yet) used by the freetype XFree86 server module. The second is that lib/font/FreeType is an X server font backend that contains more than just the FreeType library.

Just because you are using GCC does NOT mean you want to use gcc -E as your CPP. Yes, it does. In fact, I have just encountered a case where it even breaks things in unexpected ways. Here's the problem. I wanted to add the -mcpu=i686 -march=i586 lines to my .cf file. But gcc defines symbols like -D__i586__, -Di586, -D__i586 etc, which means that the generated Makefiles end up with -march=1 -mcpu=i686. This of course causes gcc to fail.

[XFree86] ? = What system set-up configuration should i use for OS X 10.2.6
Hello, Glad to be here. The Fink app is genius but here's my problem. I'm new and I'm sure alot of other new users would like to migrate also but...without clear, concise straight-to-the-point direction the mind pico-fies. Dammit Jim..I'm a new user, not a professor!!! Keep it simple and they will come! I had a similar problem 4 years ago when trying to install YDL and later NetBSD. It appears not much progress has been made in top-down logic flowchart-like documentation...too much muck to crawl through before actually finding an install right for me. 4 weeks I spent trying to get one of those builds up and running. But at that time it was bandit and chaos/control config files bogging down the process. Now the UNIX-like software is finally catching up with today's hardware but disjointed and unstructured help files and docs persist in the UNIX-like community. I've read most of the help files and docs with no success. Anyway...Do I want XDarwin? I don't know! Here's what I'm looking for from a system and maybe someone can tell me what packages i need to get there because I'm done reading for hours and hours only to progress an inch. It shouldn't take 40 min. to fry an egg ya know? I think XDarwin is the correct one but...what are the pros and cons? Are there better X Servers? Is XDarwin the same as XFree86-Server? At 56k in the Virgin Islands and a demanding work schedule I don't have the time to find out the hard way. I direct this to the best of an experienced and seasoned user's knowledge : I have OS X 10.2.6 running on a G4 dual 1.25 gHz box I have installed X11SDK and Apple Developer Tools I have removed Apple's version of X11 and X11R6 I have installed xfree86-base 4.2.1.1-3 (not the rootless) via fink install* 10 hours later...:( got bandwidth? * Will X11SDK conflict with XFree86 in any way? I didn't think so but thought I should ask the more informed? I need the best window manager, X server, and GUI (GNOME?) for my box and OS. I want this setup to allow for the most apps to run stable. In your opinion, better to go with root or rootless xfree86? I need concise info and to the point pros and cons if more than one choice. (keep it short, simple and please no geek speak or intellectual flexing) The rest I will learn after I can get a setup that works! A big island thank you to whoever has the time to help!!! Brian

Re: [XFree86] [SOLVED] How can one disable the mouse cursor?
Dennis Herbrich writes: Gnah, never mind, just after I wrote the last mail, I found the solution to my problem by sheer accident while skimming the xsetroot manpage. To remove the pesky mouse cursor, I started the bitmap tool, and saved the empty image right away as transparent.cursor after setting the hotspot. Now, to use this, I only needed to put xsetroot -cursor transparent.cursor transparent.cursor into my .xinitrc, and the cursor is nowhere to be seen. Yay. This however only works for the root window. If your application sets another cursor it will be displayed when the cursor is above an app window. The same is true for most modern window managers which create their own root windows. BTW, SDL seems to crash and take X with it when it's fullscreened and the used mouse driver is void. Using a real mouse driver and AllowMouseOpenFail while simply not attaching a mouse works just fine, though. No idea where this problem lies, probably in SDL, so I'll contact them instead about this. This shouldn't happen. Maybe there is a bug in the void driver. Can you use a debugger to look at this, please? If you use a modularized Xserver please get gdb from www.dawa.demon.co.uk/xfree-gdb. This can also display symbols from modules. You may have to use the command 'module', though to load them before you can get them displayed.

the radeon driver supports dualhead. you can either do it with two screen entries and xinerama or with my mergedfb patch (http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276). the IGP chipsets do not support HW 3D yet.

Alex Hello, I've an hp ze4430 laptop. It contains an ATI Radeon Mobility U1 (IGP 340M w/ 64MB shared memory). I am currently using the radeon driver that I believe was shipped with XFree 4.3.

I have been unable to find any documentation about such a feature being supported (or not) by the radeon driver. I have attempted to obtain such a result by trying everything I know to do in my XF86Config file. I can get a 2048x768 desktop using the Xinerama option, but the extra desktop space does not display on the external monitor, rather in empty space next to the laptop's flat panel.

Re: [XFree86] ATI IGP 340M - Dual head on a lapltop
Thanks Alex. If you've a spare moment would you mind looking at my current XF86Config file? http://www.656.org/ati/XF86Config The XFree86.0.log is at http://www.656.org/ati/XFree86.0.log Just please let me know if something jumps out as being horribly wrong (I've stripped comments, so it is pretty easy to read through). I submitted a second email concerning my problem yesterday with more accurate information. Mainly that the chipset is an IGP 320M, not 340M as I had previously believed. When defining two screens, two monitors, and two devices and I am getting a clone of the primary head on the secondary head. Xinerama says that it is enabled in the log, but you couldn't tell by looking at the display. From the bugzilla record below I gather I'll need the cvs to use the patch. Is this correct? Thanks for your help.

[XFree86] Virtual HDTV resolution
Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a solution to my problem for quite some time but am unable to find anything that works. My situation is I have a DLP projector that has a max resolution of 1024x768. However, the screen is 16x9, so I need a resolution of 1024x576. I created a modline for this and it works for my NVidia fx 5200, but the projector interprets it as 1024x600. Plus, my computer monitor doesn't support this res. so I can't get the same image to come up on both at once. My next thought was to try to create a virtual screen of 1024x576, and a physical resolution of 1024x768. (Hoping that I would get black bars on top, bottom, or both). What happens in this situation is XFree uses 640x480 in a 1024x576 virtual. This occurs even with only a 1024 mode defined. My largest issue with doing this, is mythtv, mplayer, xine, etc, all call to X directly to get the display size when doing a fullscreen on these aplications (I believe this is so, but could be wrong). If I can't get things to be seen as 1024x576, then I have little/no chance of getting the other apps to work correctly. I havn't been able to find out if any window managers or desktops support specifying a resolution to occupy, and what would happen to video apps when they go fullscreen. My last option would be to use xinearama or twinview, but I don't think these would be a good route for me, since I want the same image on both displays at once. I would appreciate any ideas on what I may be able to do, to get things to work correctly. My main concern is getting a 1024x576 virtual running in a 1024x768 physical mode.

Plus, my computer monitor doesn't support this res. so I can't get the same image to come up on both at once. I had (nearly) the same situation getting a widescreen ratio tv-out on my nvidia card. The trick was to generate a modeline for the specific resolution you want, and specifiy only that resolution on the Modes section in XF86config. (best ask someone else about the modeline though!

It has no brand identifier on it anywhere that I can see. With the HorizSync set as it is the CRT will always come on.

But I have been unable to actually get anything but a cloned display (it does not help to only see what I am doing twice ;)). I have read that dri and xinerama do not work well with each other. This is perfectly fine with me since dri is not supported for my chipset anyway. Right now I am at a total loss as to what approach I should take. It seems as if there should be something I have to do to tell X to display a seperate screen on the external monitor (I thought that Xinerama would do this) instead of cloning the primary display. The only thing that I am sure of right now is that the Windows (ms) could display on the external monitor in a xinerama style, but I would rather have only one screen with gnu/linux+xfree+gnome than proper dual support from ms.

Conceptually, it doesn't really even make sense. Virtual is by definition, greater than or equal to the mode.

It should compile with any. I use 2.95.3. Your error is unlikely to have anything to do with the compiler. Mark. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] How do I install 4.3.0 for cygwin?
The current release of cygwin distributes release 4.2.0 of xfree86. I want to be able to resize my root window so I want to install release 4.3.0 of xfree86. I downloaded the install Xinstall.sh program and it told me to download the extract.exe program. I download an extract.exe program and tried once again. This time it told me that I had the wrong version of extract.exe. I ran sh Xinstall.sh -check and it reported the following: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 version 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) architecture i686. I cannot find this extract.exe. Can some one help. I am running cygin on a multihead xp computer. Thanks, Paul.
Re: [XFree86] [SOLVED] How can one disable the mouse cursor?

If your application sets another cursor it will be displayed when the cursor is above an app window. The same is true for most modern window managers which create their own root windows. Of course, I'm fully aware of that. Fortunately I do not need to run any window manager, and the one and only application that is supposed to run on a regular basis is a fullscreen SDL chooser application, which happens to show the root window mouse cursor. I'm sure that it's possible from within SDL to toggle the cursor visibility, but the transparent cursor works fine without tinkering with the SDL app's sources. [SDL taking X down when fullscreening with void mouse driver] This shouldn't happen. Maybe there is a bug in the void driver. Can you use a debugger to look at this, please? I would give it a try, but I have only touched gdb a few times. Is there any online documentation available about creating useful output, or could you send me terse intructions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am not quite sure how to produce a dump that would be helpful.
