[XFree86] dual processor, RH9, XFree86, NVIDIA
Sorry if this cross posts to any, or too many, people...I was not sure to which list this question is most applicable...indeed, it may be that the nvidia list is the way to go, but I have never received a reply to any question posed to that list; so I apologize if this seems to take advantage of your willingness to help and thank you in advance for any info. I have a dual processor machine running RH9.0 -- I can still successfully use startx (NVIDIA drivers) when booting into the smp version of RH9, but trying to boot into the single processor version, I get an XIO:fatal IO error 14 (connection reset by peer) on Xserver :0.0 I was trying this mode for 2 reasons: 1. SGIs performer, I have read, sometimes will not recognize a second processor and right now, tho with the newer version of performer (3.0.2) the system doesn't crash, perfly still won't work -- so I thought I'd go with one processor. Please correct me if I am wrong about this assumption (that smp indicates dual processors are accessed, etc) 2. There is no *gears* lib as mentioned in the NVIDIA readme, only glxgears (which works); an ldd yeilds fewer libraries than should exist...so I was gonna update my drivers...I thought I'd go to the one processor first as glxgears does work and I don't know what diff gears/glxgears. What I would like to know is: when booting into the non-smp mode of RH9, do I need to reconfigure the XFree86Config file? or ;] what? XFree86.log and log.old files are attached, but are also available at ftp.evl.uic.edu/pub/mgolter/ Again, thanks for any info ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] monitor support/patches
I am having a terrible time configuring XFree86 My *exact* monitor is not listed (I have a Sony Multiscan seII -- Sony GDM-20SE2T) XFree86 configurator under RH8.0 lists only the GDM-20SE2TS (specs are same...but the monitor was not *found*) -- is there a patch available? Is one necessary? When I enter the wrong monitor (done previously!) and the SiS300 card I have, startx won't work. I had to re-install 8.0 as I was not sure how to work through the Fatal server error message: The application 'x conf.py lost its connection to the display :17.0; most likely the xserver was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application, when a simple re-boot still would not let me see the redhat-config-xfree86 *window* to change anything in the xwin setup... After the first install of 8.0 i first received the error message: /usr/share/redhat-config-xfree86/xconf.py:1238: DeprecationWarning: self.xml.get_widget(display_dialog), set_uposition(xpos, ypos) I am still getting that message along with: *dccporbe returned the bogus values ID: None Name: None Horiz Sync: None Vert Sync: None I am down to using a generic monitor and VESA...and 16 bit color depth...yuk. I am gonna try to do some visualization work and need/would like to get as *hi-end* as I can (I am already limited by a funky graphics card...) Again if anyone knows if there is a patch for the GDM-20SE2T or if the GDM-20SE2TS would be close enough that I *won't* (most probably) have to re-install again, or knows where to look for such things, I wouldn't mind hearing from them.

Thanks so much for your attention! have tried what u suggest, but unfortutely startx won't work when i do that.

I had all of the above experiences also...for the SiS300 which is why I
looked into and downloaded the XFree86 4.3 version...
by fglrxconfig: did u type setup at bootup? This gets you into the
Xconfigurator where u configure the software to run the right monitor and
card.
I will ask around my lab as there are a few people who have said they are
going with the Radeon (nvidia's are too $$$, but they (nvidia) do have
drivers that I have actually seen do work!) and see how they do this, if
they have similar probs...
I agree this seems so tangled...but I did get an email from the guru of

a response after sending an outline of problem. Mebbe I do not explain the
problem well enuf, don't know...of course, if understood the problem well

Re: [XFree86] RE: Sis300 support in XFree86 version 4.3.0
Are you still having problems with the SiS300 in XFree 4.3? If so, what
sort of problems?
Thomas
Hope this is clear enough...
a. yes, the SiS300 card is not being recognized by RH7.3, nor RH7.3 with
XFree86 version 4.3.0, on my system. Right now, Xconfig will only allow a
screen to show if the refresh rate is reduced to 60, color bit depth to 8,
and VESA selected.
b. I have attached the XFree86.0.log (there is also a copy at
ftp.evl.uic.edu/pub/INcoming/mgolter/xfree/. There was, as Cynthia
Grossen noted, a [drm] drmAgpAcquire failed error (as well a
*libglide2x.so missing* message which (apparently) has to do with 3DFX
cards, so I have ignored the .so message -- that message has not
re-appeared). Let me know if any other info is necessary to help amend the
situation?
I have also attached a copy of a recent posting which seems pertinent as I
am considering installing RH8.0 to see if the situation improves (see
c. below)
c. Some day I would like to try to run some 3d graphics applications
(Performer, YG, CavernSoft) on this system. From the (your) Thomas
Winischhofer webpages I see SiS is one company that does not share
development info and perhaps this card is not a likely candidate for such
efforts?
(Note: until I saw the support for the SiS300 card listed under 4.3 I had
intended on picking up the SiS300 (your) *fix* on those (your) pages.
Then I thought mebbe it had been included in 4.3? However, being rather
new (!) to all this, and in light of the degrading situation, I now don't
feel confident about grabbing the *fix*. And remember tho notes were given
re support, that drm support was not included per se.)
Upshot: if running 3D Is within the realm of possibility while using the
SiS300, any help to try to get a working 3D display would be appreciated.
(Note: by 3D here, I am Not referring to active stereo, but the facsimile)
Let me know what (other) info might be necessary.
Thanks for your attention,
mgolter

Just so you don't end up wasting your time
Glide is strictly a 3Dfx low level 3D video driver library which
talks directly to 3Dfx Voodoo and Banshee video hardware.
Glide 2 is for Voodoo Graphics I/II hardware, and Glide3 is for
Voodoo 3/4/5 and Banshee hardware.
Glide does not work on any other video hardware, and is totally
useless unless you have 3Dfx video hardware, in which case it
provides the layer between DRI and the 3Dfx video card for 3D
acceleration.
In short: You've got an SiS video card, and Glide is meaningless
as far as your system is concerned.

To Whom Among other cards that XFree86 version 4.3.0 pruports to support (and which are subsequently listed once the version is installed) the SiS300 video chip is mentioned. Tho the installation of this version (on RH7.3) of XFree is not without error on my machine (apparently libglide2x.so is missing --?), tho other new drivers mentioned on the XFree86.org page do show up on the list of drivers, mention of the SiS300 (the card I have uses it...;] ) is missing. Is it *Really* not included (which means I have wasted several days ;P)? Please note: regardless of support, right now I cannot get even Xconfigurator (in setup util) to configure even a generic VGA card with my monitor!!!

[XFree86] (EE) SIS(0): [drm] drmAgpAcquire failed
To Whom! ;) Ijust installed Xfree86 version 4.3.0 on a system with RH7.3 and a video card with a SiS300 chipset (SiS301 onboard for dual monitors) (installed ver 4.3 cuz the native Xfree86 did not support the SiS300, and this version did list support). Upon install, the message was: no libglide2x.so was found (needed for the SiS300 card? It is an AGP2x card) I tried to configure using XFree86 -configure, and the message was: (EE) SIS(0): [drm] drmAgpAcquire Trying to configure the card using Xconfigurator (Note the SiS300 driver could not be found on the list of cards), the xserver message is that *something is wrong with the settings*. (I had chosen: generic VGA card and used my monitor settings, and finally went through the list of MB settings, none of which were acceptable to Xconfigurator.) S, I am not sure what to do...any suggestions would be read. I have attached a copy of the /var/lib/XFree86.0.log file.

Re: [XFree86] RE: Sis300 support in XFree86 version 4.3.0
The linux and XFree4 install was so I can run some 3D applications...but I
did not know that glide was so specifically aimed...the Real problem was
that I couldn't get the X server configured at all. Right now I am
stuck with 16 bit color...(using generic VESA in Xconfigurator, which is
not as good as what I could get with the XFree86 version that came with
RH7.3!
{I installed the 4.3 version as no other version even lists the SiS300
chip...and it looks like 4.3 doesn't really support it either...)
Thanks for info on the .so (so's I am not a gonna worry (esp since no
system complaints!)
;)

Just so you don't end up wasting your time
Glide is strictly a 3Dfx low level 3D video driver library which
talks directly to 3Dfx Voodoo and Banshee video hardware.
Glide 2 is for Voodoo Graphics I/II hardware, and Glide3 is for
Voodoo 3/4/5 and Banshee hardware.
Glide does not work on any other video hardware, and is totally
useless unless you have 3Dfx video hardware, in which case it
provides the layer between DRI and the 3Dfx video card for 3D
acceleration.
In short: You've got an SiS video card, and Glide is meaningless
as far as your system is concerned.

Re: [XFree86] Dual-head support for nv driver?
there are Linux drivers for the high-end nv cards (the ones that support 2 screens (dual-head capabilities -GeForce4 Ti on up) but dunno if that helps you...but I am having a terrible time finding support for dual head capabilities on less expensive, lower end cards from any supplier -- please post if (anyone) knows!!!

Simply entering the relevant 'Screen 0' and 'Screen 1' entries in separate Device sections doesn't work as it does for the Matrox G550.
