CapsLock behaviour and Turkish keyboard
Kaixo!
I see keyboard topics are being discussed right now...
there is long standing problem with the CapsLock and turkish keyboard
that would be nice to have fixed.
The problem is that when CapsLock is set, XFree86 does an uppercasing
of the letters, so typing 'a' with CapsLock set gives 'A' etc.
*BUT* in Turkish (and Azeri too), the 'I' is not the uppercase of the 'i'.
In fact in Turkish there are two kind of i, one with dot (with a *dotted*
uppercase letter) and one without dot (with 'I' as uppercase, and a dotless
lowercase one).
The turkish keyboard has:
key AD08 { [ idotless,I ] };
key AC11 { [ i,Iabovedot ] };
it works well, except for the CapsLock mode.
In previous versions of XFree86, it was somewhat bypassed by redfining
CapsLock to some group switching function and tweaking the groups, eg:
key CAPS { [ ISO_Next_Group, ISO_Next_Group], [ ISO_Prev_Group, ISO_Prev_Group ] };
...
key AD01 { [ q, Q ], [ Q, q ] };
...
key AD08 { [ idotless, I ], [ I, idotless ] };
key AC11 { [ i, Iabovedot ], [ Iabovedot, i ] };
...
key AB10 { [ period, colon ], [ period, colon ] };
you get the idea.
But of course it was an ugly hack, and it doesn't work anymore with the
new version of XFree86...
Imho it should be fixed at the right place: where XFree86 does ther current
uppercasing.
With a new keyboard to tell that a given keyboard layout wants to use the
Turkish uppercasing scheme (there are three layouts that would use
it; tr Q (modern turkish), tr F (traditional turkish) and az (Azeri))
so the layout remains simple:
key AD08 { [ idotless,I ] };
key AC11 { [ i,Iabovedot ] };
without tricks; and in config file, some special option tells
that the turkish casing scheme iswanted; eg: case:turkish or something
like that.
Or maybe (better imho) defining that in the layout file itself;
something like:
key AD01 { [ q, Q ] };
...
key AD08 { type[group1] = TURKISH, [ idotless,I ] };
key AC11 { type[group1] = TURKISH, [ i,Iabovedot ] };
Thanks

Re: Seeking MergedFB - Xinerama development advice
I actually discovered the new code on your website last night ;) I read over the description on the webpage and started to look at the code. I'll be working on porting it to radeon this week, once I get my DSL back up. I also use Gnome, so I'll report back how it behaves with the new code. Thanks for writing the code and preparing this description. Alex --- Thomas Winischhofer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alex Deucher wrote: I'd be interested in seeing your code once you have decided on a route, so that I can update the radeon mergedfb driver. Alex, the code is now available on my website (URL in sig). Look for everything surrounded by #ifdef SISXINERAMA, and check the additions to the CopyModeNLink() function (setup of maxCRTx_xx). I wrote a little description which can be found in the options chapter about MergedFB mode on the mentioned website. Please read that first. When reading and trying to understand the code (which is far from being as trivial as I wrote in the original message of this thread), think of the following special situations: - overlapping viewports (virtual desktop too small for largest Metamode), - Virtual desktops larger than the largest Metamode - Clone modes whereas the CRT2Position is not Clone The SiS-Pseudo-Xinerama extension will be disabled if the user selected Clone as the CRT2Position (whatever you call this in the radeon driver), and if only clone modes are given (that is, if the metamodes list only contains modes without a - and a second mode following). For a while I thought of updating the Xineramainfo with each mode switch, since the boundary between the two heads eventually changes with every such event. But after having implemented this, I turned out that, at least with KDE/KDM, that had no effect; seems that the KDE system queries the Xinerama extension only once, at startup... So I went for a static information, calculated based on all Metamodes given, trying to find a somewhat usable common. Essentially, the Xineramainfo for each (pseudo-)screen is the maximum scrolling area of each head, taken from all Metamodes given. So far, this is the smartest solution I could come up with. KDM works well with this, even with overlapping pseudo-screens, as does Xine and some other applications. I don't know about other window managers, though. Some Metamode-combinations are, of course, very inconvenient for my current concept, such as the 1280x1024-1024x768 1024x768-1280x1024 example I already mentioned. But I think, manually disabling Xinerama support in such cases this is the price one must pay... Comments appreciated, especially from folks using the NVidia binary driver with its Xinerama support.

Gnome2 misses fontconfig.pc
Up to version 4.399.5 a file 'fontconfig.pc' was installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig but is missing since .6. It is used to detect the presence of the fontconfig library and is needed (at least) to compile Gnome 2.x packages. I am currently using 4.3.99.8 as part of the Rock Linux distribution build kit.

store used VT number in a prop ?
Hi, We are currently developping X access to braille devices thanks to gnopernicus connected to the standard text console reader brltty, through BrlAPI. But for this to work (avoid conflicts with text console reading), we need to know on which VT the X server is running. Currently, there is no way to get this information from the server: X11 protocol doesn't have any native request for this. Parsing the logfile like this: CONTROLVT=$(grep using VT number /var/log/XFree86.$(echo $DISPLAY | sed -e s/^.*::*\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/).log | sed -e s/^.*using VT number \([0-9]*\).*$/\1/) export CONTROLVT in the .xinitrc/.xsession is quite reliable, but a bit hairy... Dave proposed that it be recorded as a property, which is quite fine to my mind. Could this be done before 4.3.0 ? Just a reminder: the VT number is got from the os dependant part, for instance lnx_init.c:90, which stores it in xf86Info.vtno. It is printed in the log file (which is parsed in the ugly line above), and then never used again. I've just checked in the latest cvs revision with grep xf86InfoRec[^.] (and vtno, of course), only references to the Documentation or the definition itself could be found, so xf86InfoRec.vtno is really not given to anybody.

Confusion is already seen such as linux-utf8 list. An official definition should be indicated right now. Why has XFree86 left this? That's because XFree86 is moving away from 15year-old XLFD-based approach. As Owen wrote, we'd better let that poor thing rest in peace and move along. With fontconfig/Xft, we don't need to worry about XLFD any more except for the sake of backward compatibility. For non-BMP characters, there isn't much issue with back. comp. to worry about. If you take a look at Mozilla's gfx/src/gtk/nsFontMetricsGTK.cpp and gfx/src/gtk/nsFontMetricsXft.cpp (or gfx/src/windows/nsFontMetricsWin.cpp) at http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey, you'll know what I mean. Mozilla developers have put tremendous amount of 'heroic' efforts to make CSS-style font selection work with XLFD-based font names. However, a much simpler and shorter fontconfig based code(in nsFontMetricsXft.cpp) works better that nsFontMetricsGTK.cpp (for XLFD-based font names). Adding yet another field to make XLFD more complex doesn't help a bit in this respect. Besides, in your example (GT fonts), I don't see why you need to extend XLFD. Couldn't you just use different numbers in the last field of XLFD? gt21.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-0.1 gt22.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-0.2 gt23.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-0.3 Instead of the above, the following should work as well, shouldn't it? Am I missing something? gt21.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-1 gt22.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-2 gt23.ttf -gt-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gt.2000-3 Why do we persist in X-TT? The reason is that libfreetype.a does not useful at all in CJK. Especially the following two points are fatal. Well, X-TT's 'competitor' is not freetype module, but fontconfig (+FT2 + Xft) - Handling a proportional multi-bytes fonts is too slow. (The loading speed of libfreetype.a is 20 times slower than that of X-TT 1.4; I show a benchmark in next email.) For the with TTCap option case, the option has been set to fc=0x3400-0xe7ff:fm=0x5a00. This particular option setting indicates that xtt handles the glyphs that are within the CJK region (in unicode) with constant spacing, whose metrics are similar to that of 0x5a00. This is a nifty idea that can be utilized in Freetype2 and/or fontconfig, but it seems to me that the fact that there's that much difference in the perf. between two cases is yet another indication that X11 core fonts have to go away. X11 core fonts need to stay for legacy applications and these applications have to retain their present functionality. Saying 'core fonts need to go way' is equivalent to saying 'lets change the core protocol'. That's out of the question. If a well understood modification to core font handling gives you a speed improvement for its present functionality it appears to be a valid enhancement.

Hello, all:
1. I want to use US international dead keys in OpenOffice.org 1.1.

Dead keys work in
KDE applications
Gnome applications
Mozilla
Dead keys do not work in
xterm
KDE konsole
virtual consoles (outside of X)
OpenOffice.org
For the cases in which dead keys work, I have used one of two
techniques (they both work):
loadkeys br-latin1-us.map
or
by altering XF86Config-4 to include these lines
Section InputDevice
Identifier Keyboard0
Driver keyboard
Option XkbModel pc104
Option XkbLayout us_intl
Option XkbOptions
In NEITHER of these cases will dead keys work in xterm, a KDE console,
or OpenOffice.org. Moreover, when the dead keys are enabled, I can't
even type quotation marks in the applications for which dead keys
don't work (in other words, not only does it not work, but it actually
makes the situation worse).
That is my first question -- how I get us_intl dead keys to work in
xterm and OpenOffice.org?
2. As a temporary workaround, I decided to specify two keyboard maps
in XF86Config-4 and switch between them on an as-needed basis by
following directions mentioned in other posts to the list, like so:
Section InputDevice
Identifier Keyboard0
Driver keyboard
Option XkbModel pc104
Option XkbLayout us_intl,us
Option XkbOptions grp:win_switch
EndSection
I have placed us_intl first, then us, because I want the default to be
us_intl. I want to use my Windows keys to switch between keyboard maps.
The result: it doesn't work. The dead keys are not working, and it is
not possible to switch between the two by pressing the Windows key.
I checked things with setxkbmap as shown below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap -v 10

Re: [XFree86] newbie - i wanna run KDE but XFree86 runs first!
When the install phase of XFree package finish, the system automatically startup with an old grapich interface, not with KDE intreface. Y loggon in this old interface as root and type KDE, and KDE interface aperst inside the old desktop. I need the system startup automatically with KDE desktop, waht can i do?? sorry for my basic and rudimentary english... Thanks type kdm from a root console login. After you're logged in use the Red Hat control center to make changes that allow you to use kdm as your login mabager. Alternately, you should be able to run (as a normal user, not root) startx `which KDE` (replace KDE with whatever command you used to run KDE, usually startkde) to get it going. Please do not run this as root - you run the risk of all sorts of problems. You're much better off logging in as a normal user and running a particular command as root in a terminal using su -c command. Most recent distros will ask you for your root password when you try to run root-only tools as a normal user, making it even easier. Once you've fired up KDE, you should be able to use the KDE admin tools to set it as default. Editing /etc/sysconfig/desktop and changing whatever the default desktop shown there is to KDE should also work.

[XFree86] problems with sis 630 video card
Hi everyone, I'm a linux newbie trying to sort out some problems with XFree. I am running XFree 4.3 under the Mandrake 9.1 distribution. My video card is a SiS 630 onboard. I'm not sure how much background history I should give, so I'll be on the safe side and give tons. The first time I installed Mandrake, everything went perfectly. All my hardware was detected, KDE ran smoothly, it was blast. But then I decided that I wanted to get better support for my 3D card, because I wanted to run a pretty screensaver I found on kde-look.org. So I went to the SiS website, and downloaded an rpm they have there called xsis.rpm. This is where my problems started. After I installed the rpm, I rebooted my computer.. and KDE wouldn't load. It kept saying that it couldn't read a section from my XF86Config file. I even downloaded the sample config file on the sis website.. same result. So I decided 'fine, I'll just format my partitions and re-install Mandrake.' Unfortunately, this time around Mandrake didn't detect my hardware (I have no idea why). I had to run xf86config and configure my video card manually. For some reason, choosing SiS 630/730 from the supplied database didn't work.. everything on my screen flickered and windows didn't show up properly, so I ended up going with the SiS 530 option, which worked fairly well (except I couldn't get my third mouse button or sound to work, but that's another issue). At this point, I felt pretty good about my skills with XFree, and decided 'Hey, I could probably get that xsis.rpm package to work if I tried to install it again.' Big mistake there. I ended up running into the same problem I had last time (XFree complained a section of my config file was corrupted or something). So, I uninstalled the rpm, but now I get this error message when I try to start XFree: xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server 'X' in path So I guess xsis.rpm screwed up my system when I installed it, and uninstalling the rpm didn't fix the problem. I was considering un-installing and re-installing XFree, hoping that this might fix my settings and allow me to go back to pretending my video card is an SiS 530. But what I *really* want to do is figure out how to get this xsis.rpm package working. So I am asking the following questions: 1) If I want to un-install and then re-install XFree, how do I go about uninstalling XFree? Installing seems fairly simple (I just download the binaries from the website), but I have no clue how to uninstall it first! 2) Does anyone have experience trying to get a SiS 630 card to work? What am I doing wrong? 3) Should I just re-format (again!) and live with poor video card performance, and quit messing around with XFree?

This is something new. It's supposed to work the same as 9000 cards, but apparently it isn't. I haven't seen a 9200 with a DVI port so far. What's the brand name of your card? I'll try to get one for the test. The card is from club-3d (www.club-3d.com). For now you can try to comment off following two lines in RADEONRestoreFPRegisters (radeon_driver.c), see if this makes any difference. -OUTREG(RADEON_TMDS_PLL_CNTL,restore-tmds_pll_cntl); - OUTREG(RADEON_TMDS_TRANSMITTER_CNTL,restore-tmds_transmitter_cntl); It makes a big difference - it seems to work now. A quick test shows only a minor (possibly acceleration related) problem: the picture is flickering if a window (menu) is opened at a screen border. I had the same effect with the windows driver, disabling cursor and bitmap optimization (the highest of 5 levels) cured it there. Thank you very much for your help. Of course I'm willing to do other tests with the card if it would be useful for driver development.

It's always good to first clearly state the problem. In addition to all the details, in this case your XF86Config-4 is broken after you install the sys rpm. The other _very_important_ thing to do is study and provide the log. eg /var/log/XFree86.0.log It sounds like you have a few problems, but none of them could really be solved by reinstalling your OS. The first thing I would consider is what is in that rpm. try 'rpm -qpl ./xsis.rpm' at least then you can see what files are being replaced when you install it. The other thing to do is backup your existing XF86Config-4 file before you do anything. You are getting some error about a broken config, that's what need fixing. if your X server doesn't support your hardware, I would recommend compiling XFree86 from source before installing some 3rd party rpm. With debian, I needed these packages to build x (in addition to the base install) binutils bison cpp cpp-2.95 flex g++ g++-2.95 gcc gcc-2.95 libc6-dev libncurses5-dev libpam0g-dev libpng2 libpng2-dev libstdc++2.10-dev make zlib1g-dev they might have slightly different names under Mandrake. First extract the newest stable version (have a lot of disk space, it's big), eg: #tar xzvf X430/X430src-1.tgz #tar xzvf X430/X430src-2.tgz #tar xzvf X430/X430src-3.tgz #tar xzvf X430/X430src-4.tgz # xc/fonts/ #tar xzvf X430/X430src-5.tgz # xc/fonts/scaled/ #tar xzvf X430/X430src-6.tgz # xc/doc/specs/ #tar xzvf X430/X430src-7.tgz # xc/doc/hardcopy/ then edit this file: xc/config/cf/site.def so these lines look like this: #ifndef HasGcc2 #define HasGcc2 YES #endif ie no c language /* comment delimenators */ around that part. then compile and install: # su - root $ cd xc/ $ make World make install echo no problems don't be surprised if that command takes 4 hours it will install the xfree binaries over any existing binaries you have. be sure this '/usr/X11R6/lib' is in /etc/ld.so.conf now run the command ldconfig to update your kernel library cache file. here's the tough part. produce by whatever means possible, a correct XF86Config-4 file. try to startx, if it doesn't work look at the log file and focus on the problem, don't start over. :-) one last tip, don't leave any old XF86Config-4 files around, always rename them something like XF86Config-4-almost-worked, least they be spotted and used by Xfree when you think another config is being used. this will happen if you have a /root/XF86Config-4 but you are expecting some XF86Config-4 in /etc/ to be parsed. -- unfortunatly I won't be available to follow up. :-\ Cheers, // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architectcell: 646-331-2027IXOYE Security Services, Web, Mail,mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] How to config xfree to use it without mouse
So how to config xfree for no mouse? I think there's a directive you can put in XF86Config called AllowMouseOpenFail. I can't remember which section it's in but you should be able to find out pretty easily, knowing the directive name. Of course, far too many window managers and apps aren't keyboard navigation friendly... :-( Craig Ringer ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] Re: final issues... xfree86 for the VIA Apollo CLE266
Ar an 4ú lá de mí 8, scríobh George Georgalis : It works great, even if I kill X it comes back up, but it still listens on 6000. I find this odd, maybe I need to invoke it with Xfree86, not X? Hmm, that shouldn't make a difference. I've got -nolisten tcp working on this machine with the 4.3.99.5 snapshot; it's getting called as /usr/bin/nice -15 /X11/bin/X -nolisten tcp -logverbose 2 -wm vt02 and both nmap(1) and lsof(1) confirm that it's not listening on TCP. Perhaps you could try moving the -nolisten tcp to the first two argument positions? -- These are the prettiest looking witnesses we have had in a long time. I imagine you are all married.
