Intel 852GM/855GM chipset and Dual Head or Clone view support
Hello, I just wanted to ask on how far is the support on the i852/855 chipset Dual View. I can see from XFree86 startup log, that it sees the two pipes and it also is able to start with either of the pipes active (I'm either having the TFT active or the external display and it boots just fine). But if I use the hardware switching of displays in Linux, then I get about 50 pixel rows in top of the screen with noise and I lose about the same size in the bottom of the picture. Also the laptop I have (Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S6120) doesn't support clone view as software independant as without Windows booted up the clone view just isn't there. I can switch between the external and internal display even while in Grub, but there is no clone view there. If I boot the factory installed windows, then I get also the clone view mode. I have tried XiG accelerated X demo version and with that I have successfully seen undel Linux that the card runs not only clone view but also dual head (although clone view for some reason had the same refresh rate for external VGA as for the internal LCD and that sucked). I wouldn't want to use propriatary X in my laptop so I wanted to ask wether there is any support coming for at least the clone view as I need that even more than I need dual heads. I have seen in some threads that people say that there are no specs from intel regarding these chipsets available publicly. Just as I have found in one thread somewhere (don't ask me where it was as I don't remember) there are official chipset whitepapers available on intels site and here's the link: http://developer.intel.com/design/mobile/chipsets/datashts/ http://developer.intel.com/design/mobile/chipsets/specupdt/ I'm not a graphics developer, but I think the 855 graphics and memory hub chipset datasheed (around 200 pages) that describes the signals, registers and so on should be the right document? I hope there will be some positive answers :) Mario Kadastik PS! I have tried to use i810switch to turn on the CRT while my LCD was on (on 855 chipset i810switch only support turning on/off the CRT not the LCD) and when I booted to X then I saw on my monitor that it switched resolution/frequency (the hitachi monitor I had really makes you feel the change ;), it remained on (meaning that it received some sort of signal), but it was black as X detected there no active display although it sees that CRT is present when it tests all the different possibilities, but it sees the maximum display size as (0,0) while on the LCD it sees (1024,768). ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Re: Intel 852GM/855GM chipset and Dual Head or Clone view support
Hello, any idea how the Accelerated-X knows the registers as I believe they shouldn't have received any docus from Intel either. I'm just curious as I saw their thing work with dual head. But ok, if we leave the dual head aside and think on the clone view. I have seen that 90% of laptops do the clone view already in hardware, but for some reason the Fujitsu-Siemens I have doesn't and I really need it. Any idea if both of the pipes could be activated and the same stuff copied? Or can I somehow force X to assume there is a CRT present (what it actually sees because X log contains my monitor model and serial number :) Mario Alex Deucher wrote: Unfortunately these databooks lack register level information on the graphics part of the chipset.

Re: Intel 852GM/855GM chipset and Dual Head or Clone view support
Accelerated X probably got the databooks for the chips under NDA from intel. Several xfree86 developers probably have the databooks as well, they are just not publically available. many laptops default to one crtc driving both outputs, but this is not necessarily always the case, as evidenced by your laptop. you may want to look in the bios there may be a way to set the default crtc configuration. I'd expect you may see fewer and fewer laptops with this behavior since it is safer to use one crtc per head. that way you won't accidently drive an external monitor with a signal that may damage it. I suspect that they only way to drive clone mode on your laptop is to use both crtcs. once you have that working adding dualhead support is trival since all you have to do is point the crtcs at different parts of the framebuffer.

[PATCH] updated Xv gamma correction support for radeon
Based on suggestions raised by my previous release, I've created a new patch that uses device independant values for gamma. the XV_GAMMA attribute now takes a value between 0 and 5000 representing gamma values from 0.0 to 5.0 (gamma x 1000). so a value of 850 would be equal to a gamma of 0.85, 1200 would be 1.2, etc. The rest of the patch is the same. the patch is against DRI cvs, but should apply easily to other trees. patch and binary are also available here: http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/Xv/xv_gamma/ further suggestions are welcome...

Re: documentation of the format of files in xkb/symbols?

You'll find some documentation here: http://pascal.tsu.ru/en/xkb/
i haven't the information i need on that page. i may have overread it or
something, but i still ask myself what certain keywords mean when
reading the files in .../xkb/symbols/pc
my new keymap is now located at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/symbols/pc/null and
the file looks like that
default xkb_symbols basic {

but when loading that keymap, the keys like 0123..9 and TAB,Enter etc.
still work. it's surely due to some implicit inheritance, but how do i
avoid that? how can i create a totally empty keymap?

Re: Suggested Fixes for the Rendition Driver - Long Message
vtSema is expected to be TRUE by the time xf86HandleColormaps() is called. Removing CMAP_LOAD_EVEN_IF_OFFSCREEN looks like the right thing to do. The driver is responsible for setting vtSema it in ScreenInit at a point after which is it OK to access the hardware in graphics mode. This is typically at or just after where the initial video mode is programmed. From what I'm reading, both hear and elsewhere, it sounds like the driver should enable vtSema during ScreenInit and disable it during CloseScreen. This sounds reasonable enough, but is there any other code that changes the value of vtSema? The following is the only place in the Rendition driver code in CVS currently does anything with vtSema: /* From the renditionCloseScreen function in*/ /* xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/rendition/rendition.c */ if (pScreenInfo-vtSema) renditionLeaveGraphics(pScreenInfo); pScreenInfo-vtSema = FALSE; This code runs at the end of the Rendition driver's close screen function. Since the driver is never setting the vtSema flag, I would presume it is being done elsewhere. (I presume that the vtSema flag is set because renditionLeaveGraphics is responsible for restoring text mode, and the driver tries to do this, though it sometimes locks the system in the process.) Might the server set this flag after calling the InitScreen function just to make sure it is set properly, or do non-driver modules also change the value the vtSema flag? Offhand, I have a rough idea of where I think I should set the vtSema flag in the driver, but I will run some tests before speculating further. = Eric Wittry [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

However, there is one element of the code that is really throwing me for a loop. While I missed all of this the first time around, it seems pretty reasonable, save for Step #2. Anything the driver does to a give argument before sending it to the hardware, the hardware is likely going to have to reverse to use the value, even if only conceptually. In the case of the driver dividing by 8, the hardware will have to multiply by 8. However, it is trivial, from a hardware perspective, to hardwire the video chip to multiply a given argument by 8. On the other hand, it is far less trivial to hardwire the video chip to add 1 to an argument, which the hardware would have to do to reverse what we currently do at Step #2. This is not to say that it is impossible that the hardware adds 1 to the values we pass, just that it strikes me as extremely unlikely. Am I wrong to be skeptical? Yes. Don't try to apply too much analysis to how hardware registers are programmed. In the old days it was probably a tradeoff between making best use of the available register space and how the register values were applied. For modern hardware, these things are dwarfed by the complexity of other components of the video chips. Nevertheless, subtracting 1 makes sense if you consider the counting starts at 0, not 1, so counting from 0 to N - 1 results in N clock periods. Division by 8 for horizontal timings is because the programmed values traditionally represent 8-pixel wide characters. You might feel better if you look at vgahw/vgaHW.c, specifically the vgaHWInit() function, which handles the register setup for generic VGA-compatible hardware. On the other hand you may find more oddities there than you'd expect, including some other subtractions that I'm not going to attempt to explain, and some values scattered over multiple registers. The timing registers for the rendition chips look sane by comparison :-) I don't know if the register specs for the rendition chips are available anywhere, but you'd probably find them useful and informative. For general VGA-compatible registers, the specs for almost any VGA-compatible video chipset will include a section that covers them.

If I know Imake, can I recurse the main Makefile and find the modules and dependencies? which will enable me to build X11 in pieces. Regards, Suresh Chandra Mannava. = --- Suresh Chandra Mannava.

[XFree86] Building X 4.3.0 with Intel Compiler 8.0
Hi! Only a small notice. It is very difficult to build X with Intel compiler 8.0. Many reasons, like treating it as cross-compilation, omitting many tabs etc. I am not good in scripts, so I did not bother, but ... I have found the only work-around. Start building with gcc as is, then when in the course of several minutes when fonts are built with Perl, move gcc binary to safe location and make symlink from gcc to icc. Resulting binaries are smaller and a bit faster. -- Sincerely, -- For technical support contracts, go to https://order.mysql.com/?ref=msmi __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Mr. Sinisa Milivojevic [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Fulltime Developer and Support Coordinator ___/ www.mysql.com Larnaca, Cyprus Want to swim with the dolphins?

[XFree86] I've lost my X server
OK - this is a long story, but it's probably of no real interest to anyone but me, so here's the short version - and I hope I don't leave out relevant details: After a Mozilla crash, I lost my X server. I tried startx from a command promt and got: execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 2) giving up xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error I then discovered that the link to X pointed to a nonexistant file, because ls -la /etc/X11/X gave this: lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 27 Apr 18 2003 /etc/X11/X - ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86* but the file /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 didn't exist. I have no idea why. Since I have an additional partition with the same version of Mandrake installed, I decided to take a chance and copy the missing file. That resulted in X starting to load, but aborting with error messages refering to missing modules. I'll include the log at the end of this post. I then tried re-installing XFree86 from RPM but that didn't change anything. I even tried RPM --erase and then re-installed X - still no luck. So I decided that this would be a good time to update from MDK91 to MDK92 and hoped that a new version of X would solve the problem. However I'm still getting the same error messages. Before I include the error messages, let me just say that this is not a hardware problem and probably not a problem with X but with some parameters that somehow got screwed up after the original Mozilla crash. The reason I say this is that, as I mentioned, I have an additional installation of Mandrake on a seperate partition and it still runs X with no problems. I even updated it also from MDK91 to MDK92 with no problems. In case anyone is wondering why I don't just use the working version, the reason is that it's on a small partition with no room for anything but the most basic utilities - I don't even have room for sendmail, Mozilla, or anything. And, of course, my **normal** partition has everything I've set up and use. BTW - I have a full backup of everything, but I have no idea where to look for whatever files have been screwed up. I did find some similar errors on GOOGLE, but nothing that helped. OK - here's the log I get when I try startx (after having re-installed everything).

[XFree86] DRM kernel modules compilation problem
Hello I have problems compiling DRM kernel modules for 2.6.0 kernel. There is a lot of errors during compilation: syntax error before ')' token called object is not a function syntax error before string constant And many more. Will it be possible to compile DRM modules under 2.6.0? Best regards, Rafal Gala I ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] Un-able to load colormap of window with 8-bit Pseudo transparent visual overlayed on 24-bit True color planes
XFree86.Org, I have been having an X11 problem with an nVidia board and you may be my last resort. nVidia doesn't respond to end-users, Dell is useless, RedHat is not responding and the XFree86 Bug reporting doesn't work. The problem is in loading the colormap of a window with an 8-bit Pseudo transparent visual overlayed on a 24-bit True color window. The nVidia FX 1000 boards (as well as a Quadro4 980 XGL) support this capability. The X windows environment has been setup to enable the 8-bit overlay planes with transparency and the 24-bit true color "underlay" planes. The capabilitly also works on select HP and SGI Unix Platforms. i.e. XF86Config: Option CIOverlay True Option OverlayDefaultVisual True A program has been created which opens two windows, one into the overlay planes and one into the 24-bit true color planes. The correct visuals are search for, selected and used to open the respect windows. The capability seems to exist (supported by the board) since the overlay window can see through the desktop to the nVidia logo residing the in the 24-bit true color. The first problem is that the 8-bit color table will not load new colors (they only contain black and a few grays). A second problem exists in that the true color window will not allow the drawing of any colors at all. I am hoping for any type of help. Any type of test program which exercises this capability would be greatly appreciated. I will gladly supply you with my program if that would be easier. Thank you very much for your time. Steps to Reproduce 1. Open the X display 2. Obtain VisualInfo and select a 24-bit true visual 3. Obtain Overlay information, match overlay info to visuals and select an 8 bit Pseudo visual with transparency. 4. Create color map for overlay window and load some colors. 5. Open an application shell with the 24-bit true visual 6. Open an application shell with the 8-bit transparent overlay visual 7. Clear each window to 0 (in my case 0 is the transparent color) 8. Draw colored rectangles into each window Actual Results - The correct visuals are selected. - Both the 24-bit true and 8-bit overlay windows open. - The overlay window can see through the desktop to the nVidia logo residing the in the 24-bit true color. - Drawing of 256 (8bits) colored rectangles results in all black with ~4 grays. - Drawing to the 24-bit window results in a BadMatch error. Expected Results Windows open as stated above. The overlay would have 256 colored rectangles representing the colors loaded. The 24-bit true window would have a pattern of the 16M colors possible via true color visual.

[XFree86] how to translate Xlib's Window IDs to Linux Process IDs
I'm making a new window manager to expirment with how
to make workflow more efficient, and as part of that,
I need to have my window manager ('desktop
environment') aware of which window(s) correspond to a
Linux Proccess ID.
Currently, I have the system record all new windows
created after I click a button on my toolbar to launch
a process, as being part of that process. This isn't a
good solution and of course, doesn't account for a
process creating another window after another process
has already started, etc...
So, my window manager of course gets called whenever a
new window is about to be created, at which point, my
window manager can get information about it, such as
its ID#, and change things like its size and position.
I'm wondering if there is a way that I can translate
the Window ID# to a process ID(on Linux)?
This would greatley improve my system.
:)

I was wondering where he got (or calculated the modeline from?) That was calculated by gtf which comes with XFree86. I think both should work identically with the nv driver. That driver ignores alot of the modeline particulars in the case of DVI since those timings aren't really for the monitor, but for the flat panel scaler which is too particular about timings to be accepting random ones specified on the modeline. Note, the nv driver requires that the system booted to any flat panel that you wish to use. If the console didn't come up on it, the nv driver can't use it. That's because it relies on the bios to have handled some of the timing difficulties for it. Mark. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] X-problems...
Quoth Eric Aldrich: What did you do to solve the problem? If you could spell out the directions for fixing this problem, that would be super (I'm practically Linux illiterate). either start xfs (the x font server) before you start X, or remove the unix/:7100 line from your XF86Config file.
