[XFree86] dbe and glx, same machine different processes, affecting each other
hello all, i have recently been developing application in linux, specifically a imageviewer application, and since all i had to do was blit a 2d image to the screen i programmed it entirely in xlib using the dbe and mit-shm extension. it works very well. Now the reason for this app was in a rendering cluster, machines(including the same one as the displaying machine) would volume render a piece of the total image and send it on to the machine that was the display. The rendering code utilizes opengl and glx. Now if I run the display on a different machine without a rendering code running, the imageviewer app works very well. The problems comes about when I have an instance of the rendering code up, my imageviewer app is no longer double buffered, but appears to be copied into the frame buffer. I have tried many ideas to correct this, as I thought that maybe the rendering code was using to much card memory and booting imageviewer out of the card. Now I did not write the rendering code, but the developer insists that he is reducing the memory footprint of this app, but the problem persists. I would very much like to hear any suggestions or insight into my problem, as like I said, I am only a budding x developer, first got my feet wet just 1 1/2 months ago.

[XFree86] help with Debian and S3 Trio 64 OnBoard (please)
I have an IBM PC 300 GL 6285-66U with S3 Trio OnBoard, 4MB video memory. The chip is 86C366 (I'm sure about the 366 part, but might be crossing something on the 86C.) I've installed Mandrake and some other distributions and I typically get 16 color, 1024x768 or greater, etc. Live CD distributions also work fine, so I think the root of my problem has to do with the way Debian identifies or interoperates with my system hardware. With Debian, it always installs VESA VGA and none of the S3 servers I've tried works. (I've never tried the 365 server, and there is no 366 server listed in Debian's list.) I installed XFree86 4.5.0 successfully (after running the xinstall.sh with the option for checking my libc version). When I run xinstall -autoconfig, I see the first screen (an 'x' cursor on the gray screen), but it hangs there. When I run xinstall - configure, it comes back with the message that it can't start the X server. I realize that I'm not providing the deepest technical information, but I'm not sure what logs or other files would allow the problem to be diagnosed. Is there something about Debian that I could take into account or fix to get this working? It's hard for me to understand how the other distros grok my hardware while Debian comes up with a blank.

I have an IBM PC 300 GL 6285-66U with an S3 Trio 3D OnBoard chip (NCDOBB 86C366). I've installed several Linux distributions and gotten good video, but I would prefer to run Debian Stable, and the default XFree in the current release doesn't recognize this chip. I downloaded the correct version of XFree (after running Xinstall -check) and it seemed to install fine. When I run XFree86 -autoconfig I see the big grid and can move my mouse pointer freely, and the resolution looks good, but the system never progresses or returns to a prompt. When I run XFree86 -configure the system fails. I thank you in advance for any help or advice you can provide, and I will gladly send you any logs and other files if you tell me what you need.

Re: Howto fullscreen an app
I'm not familiar with xrandr, but for fullscreen we use the XVidMode extension to change the display mode to that of the size of the window, position the viewport at (0,0) then position the window at (0,0). This works for us because we are using window sizes that are also common resolutions, eg. 640x480 and 800x600 etc..

Small issue in the ati/radeon dga driver
Not sure if this is the right place to report this but anyway; xc/programs/XServer/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_dga.c Line 114: currentMode-imageHeight= (info-FbMapSize / currentMode-bytesPerScanline); On my Radeon IGP chipset with 64MB of VideoRam, this value is calculated as 65536 (0x01). Although here the variable is a 32 bit integer, later in the dga library this value is truncated to a 16 bit integer, causing the driver to report the imageHeight as zero. I added a single line beneath Line 144 to clamp the value to the max a 16 bit iteger can hold; if (currentMode-imageHeight 0x) currentMode-imageHeight = 0x; This fixes the problem for my radeon, but I think the other ati drivers may suffer from the same problem, but I do not have the hardware to test.

Re: Small issue in the ati/radeon dga driver
Yes, my one-liner was a quick fix to get it up and running so I could continue with what I was doing... The XDGAMode structure implies that the imageHeight value should be an int, and indeed it seems that it can actually hold a 32-bit integer within radeon_dga.c but somewhere further down the line (perhaps the dga extension library) it must be getting truncated to a 16bit integer, as XDGAQueryModes() returns it as zero on my machine. I was browsing the X11 headers and saw the imageHeight referred to as a CARD16 type in the xXDGAModeInfo structure which makes me suspicious, I think it was in xf86dgastr.h.

wondering if xfree86 4.4.0 is compatible with the base tools included with r1..
I'm trying to download the first cd for r3 using jigdo so ill see
how that goes... I would like a sort of forecast so I can see how your install
goes though.

Re: [XFree86] another error while trying to compile xfree86 4.4.0
I looked around on debian's site, and noticed that r3 is apparently the newer
version.. I couldn't find r4 anywhere on there.. And then I went to the mirror
where I got the release I installed.. And it said it was r1. So, I'm wondering
if xfree86 4.4.0 is compatible with the base tools included with r1.. I'm
trying to download the first cd for r3 using jigdo so ill see how that

Re: DGA and tearing effects
Out of interest what method are you using to wait for the vblank in DGA? To vsync properly in DGA I have been having to perform a page flip (asking for it to be done next retrace), then waiting for this operation to complete; XDGASetViewport(Xdisplay, Xscreen, 0, Xdga.db * Xdga.height, XDGAFlipRetrace); while (XDGAGetViewportStatus(Xdisplay, Xscreen)); Would like to compare various methods to see if this is the way to go... Note that Xdga.db toggles between 0 and 1 every frame flip, to enable proper page flipping, as we always copy to the hidden page, then use the above code to flip and wait.

I've managed to remove the tearing on our DGA program but the consequence is that the rendering speed went from a max of 15 fps (w/o vsync) to 9 fps (w/ vsync). Initially, the image reading from the camera and the copying to the framebuffer was in a single thread (w/c was still displaying tearing artifacts even with vsync), but now I've separated them into two threads, one thread reads the image from the camera, and the other writes to the framebuffer. The read thread reads the image from the camera, does some image manipulation on the image (converts 8-bit image to 16-bit), and copies the image on a temporary buffer. The write thread copies the temporary buffer to the framebuffer by using memcpy. My task now is to move up the fps to a respectable 13 to 14 fps max. Eugene M. Fariñas Design Engineer, Eazix, Inc.

In a DGA mode if you try waiting for a vblank with a flat panel, then the page flip is performed immediately, instead of waiting for anything. The panels own circuits decide when to change the display anyway, so anything you try to do yourself is moot. If I am incorrect, then I apologise... That's sortof the correct idea for when using the panel's VGA interface. For the VGA interface, the panel is not necessarily refreshing at the rate coming through the VGA connector. For DVI, the panel is refreshing at the rate coming through the DVI connector, but this doesn't necessarily correspond to the timings programmed in the VGA registers. At least on the hardware I've worked on, the VGA timing merely correspond to the input to the flat panel scaler in the graphics chip, not the output going to the panel. Mark.

Re: DGA and tearing effects
About a year ago I was using DGA for my games graphics library. I was told
by various people that using DGA was not the way to go. At first I thought this
was nonsense, as you can't get vsync using the more standard XPutImage method
(and get tearing). However, all changed when I bought a laptop with TFT screen.
Problem is, there is no vsync on the new LCD/TFT monitors! So you get tearing
anyway! The result is I now draw to an XImage and use XPutImage (using SHM is
avaiable), and just forget about vsyncing. Still got a DGA mode if people wanna
try it, but on LCD screens its pointless... (my findings anyway)...

Is XFree86 w/DGA the only way to achieve high performance direct
framebuffer rendering (page flipped) without any negative artifacts on
linux?
I'm using svgalib w/vesa right now for a strictly 8bpp project and the
only way I've managed to get fast (full) frame rates without tearing or
flickering is page flipping when linear frame buffer is supported.
However, it took some vga hacks to reliably sync before the flip (just
waiting for retrace doesnt work, I duplicated the Abrash-documented method
reading the vga status port and waiting til it is mid-scan (display enable)
to set the start address then waiting for retrace to ensure the new offset
gets a draw in).
It's working fine on all my test machines which it would tear on before I
implemented the Abrash method (previously I just waited for vertical
retrace then flipped the page), but now it tears on the only box the old
approach worked flawlessly on :( It looks like my matrox millenium II
notices when you change the display start address mid-scan and
demonstrates this with a regular (every frame) tear. My Abrash books say
to set the address while the display is enabled as it's supposed to have
latched onto the last start address for the duration of the scan... grr.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I know this is a bit of a
thread-hijack but it's somewhat related to Eugene's question. I've been
considering going down the DGA route and adding X to the mix due to
the problems I've been encountering... I'm just not sure it will solve
all the problems, and will probably add new ones.
Thanks in advance for any input, I'm sure many of you have had to deal
with similar issues.

Isn't DGA mode being phased out? I been using XPutImage and the XVidMode

Can I rely on the verticalRefresh being set to zero with all LCD displays, or is this just some strange side effect? If this behaviour is not intended then I don't see any other way of detecting if we have an LCD display or not. I think we need to know this, as if we have an LCD display we would need to make sure we have a pretty low refreshrate (around 60Hz) whereas on a CRT we just run at whatever the monitor gives us.

[XFree86] problem with Mandrake 10 / nvidia GForce FX
Hi, I've just installed Mandrake 10 dual boot with win XP home. I run into a problem with XFree86. The startx process fails causing the system to reboot. My PC has an ASUS motherboard, monitor is a Dell D1226H, video card is Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. I downloaded and installed the latest graphics driver from nvidia (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run), and edited the XFree86 config file as per nvidia's instructions, but that didn't seem to help. I did not download the lastest XFree86 because I was not sure which one to use (Linux-ix86-glibc20, 21, 22 or 23), but I am also assuming that Mandrake is up to date with its distribution of XFree86. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached my config and log files. Thanks. James Gordon XF86Config-4 Description: Binary data XFree86.0.log Description: Binary data
[XFree86] x Server will not start after rebuilding kernel with source from kernel.org
I initially installed my system with 2.4.21 kernel from Redhat ES 3.1. I then rebuilt the kernel using the 2.4.26 source from kernel.org. After I do this and I reboot using the rebuilt kernel image I get a message indicating I cannot start the X server. It is likely that it is not set up correctly... Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks, Jim Macon Phone: (919) 543-7490 Tie Line 441-7490 Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: depth switching on the fly
I totally agree with you that *something* needs to be done to address this defficiency in XFree86. As mentioned in a previous post a while back I am trying to write some 2d games for Linux but require; fullscreen, direct access, vsynching, ability to change the start of display offset (for page flipping and vertcial scrolling), 8 bit indexed palettes, etc... We are left using DGAv2 as it satisfies all these requirements, but it seems most the XFree developers want it removed in the future, with no real replacement :( I am currently starting to write a windowed version of the gfx libs, but it will suck hugely in speed terms compared to that of DGA. People will say why not use OpenGL, but lets face it.. OpenGL sucks for 2d, it is overcomplicated for this task, when all you want to do simple 2d sprite drawing, some palettized effects, and scrolling... On Thu, 1 Apr 2004 18:03:23 -0800 (PST) Luchezar Belev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi all, I want to toss an idea about the depth switching on the fly. The dynamic depth changing is one of the few basic things that are impossible in xf86. In fact DGA2 has such ability, but it's limited for it's own use only. The new randr extension in it's full variant can do it but as of now it's not implemented and it seems quite unliky to be implemented ever because from it's design follows that it's implementation would be extremely hard thing to do, and naturally noone feels motivated enough to take up the task. But such functionality is really important if we want xf86 to be considered an viable gaming platform. For example it would be a great benefit for the Wine in it's efforts in emulating windows for games. Some argue that the need of depth switching has been somewhat outweighted by the fact that these days the memory is cheap and noone cares if the framebuffer takes twice as much memory. Of course the memory usage itself does not matter, but what really matters is the speed. For example quake3 does almost twice as many frames per second if run in 16-bit mode than in 32-bit mode. And this cannot be outweighted whatever the memory price is. Even in nowdays many games prefer low-depth modes (sometimes even 8-bit) because of the lower bandwidth requirement, which is critical. Now my idea. Since the main potential users of such functionality are the games, and they are mainly full-screen apps it would be relatively easy but still very usefull if we have something in between the DGA2 and randr - some kind of fullscreen (i.e. only single window visible - no need for software depth emulation for the rest of the windows, etc.) but using real x window so that one can use the standard X11 apis available for the normal windows (for example use GLX/OpenGL with it) For example the api function could be something like: Window Xextension-nameCreateFullscreenWindow( Display *dpy, Xextension-nameModeDescriptor *vidmode, int depth, Visual *visual, unsigned long valuemask, XSetWindowAttributes *attribs ); The function creates a special fullscreen window. When such window get mapped (XMapWindow) it automatically switches the video mode to vidmode and changes the framebuffer depth to the window's depth (which may differ from the root window's depth). Such windows always occupy the entire screen and may not be obscured by other windows (and probably have their override_redirect attribute always set). When the window is unmapped it switches back the video mode and the frame buffer depth to their normal states. The video mode description could probably be something like in the XF86VidMode extension. Lucho __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [XFree86] FreeBSD 5.2.1 and XFree86-4.x ati driver lockup problem -- Solutio
Robert, Thanks for the kind words. I fooled around with my laptop for many hours, after work, but to no avail. I checked the mail archives on FreeBSD and XFree86 but no help.

By the way, Brooks Davis also responded to my email, and he advised that recompiling the FreeBSD kernel with SMP and apic disabled will also fix the problem. I tested it, and he was absolutely right on. If you do this you can have acpi enabled and Xwindows will be stable.

Have we considered that the: fonts.cache-n files should contain the PostScript font names? This appears to be a needed step towards eliminating the need for a: Fontmap file in each font directory.

Sounds simple enough... can it be done? then again i have issues with dga as it stands. firstly needing to be root is one :/ secondly - last time (a LONG time ago now - so long i dont remember when) going in and out of dga meant a screen reset by the driver and so it was practically infeasible to combine dga rendering with normal rendering by other clients. i seriously think maybe dga should be moved over to be part of DRI. if DRI HAS to (for sanity) run a shadowfb system to make this work - (when DGA is in use) so be it, but it would make it sane to use. The root issue is unfortunate, but people seem less worried than they used to be about this if the software is from a trusted company. that said i do agree - the games or software should ALSO use shmputimage and have a method to use that - on todays boxes it should be fast enough. there still are things opengl can't do... :) though that keeps being decreased in number... :) We could add a shmputimage for compatibility, but how do you sync frames to the vblank to ensure glitch free drawing, or does X take care of that? anyway.. back to lurking! :) -- - Codito, ergo sum - I code, therefore I am -- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler)[EMAIL PROTECTED] $B7'*(B - $BV7/(B ($B?tED(B) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tokyo, Japan ($BEl5~(B $BF|K\(B) ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
DGA - the future?
Hello, Apologies if this is the incorrect list to post to but i couldn't decide between the general forum list or this one. My question concerns the DGA extension in XFree86, whether it will be removed from future versions, and the alternatives. We are currently in the process of developing games for the Linux OS. We require direct access to the video framebuffer, the ability to change resolution, refresh rate, indexed palettes, and the ability to alter the start screen position pointer (for hardware scrolling). At first we wrote our 2D drawing libs to use SVGALib, but after numerous problems with memory leaks and bad support for many gfx cards we switched to X11-DGAv2. We are reasonably happy with DGA as it stands, with the only annoyance being that it requires root privs. I have seen it mentioned that DGA could be removed in future XFree86 releases, is this true? If so, what are the alternatives for us to use? It is obvious that there are alot of apps out there that really can't justify the use of DGA, but I feel that this application (games) really can benefit from using it. Any extra layers between our drawing and the framebuffer is just extra overhead and latency for us... Any sugestions or comments appreciated...

Re: [I18n] do XFree86 accept XIM projects?
It's not so correct. As I know, minichinput was derived from Chinput which was a Chinese input method software developed by Turbolinux. Then Chinput/Minichinput were widely adopted by many other distributions, like RedHat etc. Until Turbolinux 8.0, Chinput was the default Simplified Chinese input method. But now it has been replaced by a totally new Input Method platform in Turbolinux 10 Desktop, which is called SCIM. I'm the author of SCIM and was a maintainer of Chinput. In my view, the structure and technology of Chinput/Minichinput is too old, and will not fit into the modern Desktop technology very well. So please consider to drop Minichinput/Chinput into trash and start to use some other modern input method platform instead, for example, SCIM, IIIMF etc. Regards James Su Hello. I'm zhangweiwu from the minichinput project. This is the first time I post to XFree86 list, so please forgive me if I posted to the wrong list. To be brief: minichinput is a Chinese input method server. Can XFree86 accept minichinput as its subproject? Minichinput is the most widely used *nix input server among the simplified Chinese users (or at least I think so). Linux distros like RedHat and Turbolinux adopted minichinput as the default input server. minichinput handles both GB, Big5 and UTF8, it is lightweighted, doesn't rely on gtk/qt. Who/what list should I contact if I wish to make minichinput a subproject of XFree86, and release as part of it? Do XFree86 accept this kind of subprojects?

[XFree86] Problem with DGA, page flipping and invisible mouse cursor
I'm using SDL to write a program. If I use the standard X11 graphics driver all is fine. However, if I set SDL to use the DGA driver as opposed to the standard X graphics driver, and in addition instruct SDL to use page flipping (as opposed to simply blitting from an off screen surface to the video memory each frame), the mouse cursor becomes invisible. Obviously this is partially to do with SDL as well as XFree86, but given that SDL is nothing more than an API layer to calls on the relevant drivers provided by other systems (in this case XFree86) I'm not surprised that noone on the SDL mailing list could tell me where my problem lies. Here is a summary of different combinations of settings and the different results they cause: - Standard X11 driver (implying software display surface and no page flipping): No problems. - DGA driver with software surface and no page flipping: No problems. - DGA driver with hardware surface and no page flipping: Display flickers wildly (to be expected), the mouse cursor also flickers a lot and is invisible more often than not, but nonetheless it is definitely there. - DGA driver with hardware surface and page flipping: Mouse cursor totally invisible - DGA driver with software surface and page flipping Impossible. So I guess that page flipping is somehow overwriting the cursor, but this is low level enough that simply looking through the SDL source code isn't really providing any answers. Could anyone provide any sort of pointers? Even just a brief (and simplified) explanation of how page flipping and mouse cursor work with DGA so I might know where to start looking for the solution?

This is a feature. There is deliberately no mouse pointer in DGA mode. If the pointer shows up, it's a bug. Ah...many thanks for the reply. I've just tried a simpel solution tho this feature - manually blitting a mouse cursor picture to the reported mouse position each frame. This sort of works but the cursor is only travelling at half its non-DGA speed - perhaps is it only updating on one of each pair of page flips? What is the recommended way of dealing with mouse motion input in DGA mode? Bear in mind I'm using it though the SDL(ayer).

[XFree86] Inheritance Claim (M. becker's Estate)Proposal
From: Mr.James Osagie Fax: Number +23417597019 Dear Sir, Inheritance Claim (M. becker's Estate)Proposal I am writing this proposal hoping that you would be of assistance in this business of mutual benefit. My name is James Osagie an auditor at one of the Banks in lagos-Nigeria. During our last audit exercise,some amount of money totalling $18.5Million was discovered and traced to be owned by one late Engineer Manfred Becker, a foreigner who died in a crash. The source of this fund was further traced to be a contract payment made to him but has remained unclaimed till now.Since his death, nobody has shown up to claim this fund and this attracted our curiosity. I therefore made a research and found out that he did not leave any next of kin in his confidential document with the Ministry that he executed the contract for and also with our Bank. A panel setup by the Federal Government on recovery of funds expects that this fund should be unquestionably claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin or alternatively the fund should be donated for arms and ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria. Fervent valuable efforts were made by the Panel to get in touch with any of the family or relatives but all have proved to no avail. It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate any next of kin ( he had no wife and children) that the panel under the influence of our chairman, Rtd Major General Thomas Danababa , that arrangement is being made for the fund to be declared UNCLAIMABLED and then be donated to the Trust Fund for arms and ammunition which will further enhance the perpetration of war in Africa and the third world in general. To forestall this move, my colleagues and I have taken it upon ourselves to source for a foreign partner who could assist in claimimg this fund for further transfer abroad. I have been given the sole mandate to source for a partner as soon as possible to that effect. All documents and proof to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and I am assuring you a 100% risk free involvement. Your share would be 30% of the total amount if you agree to assist while 10% would be set aside to offset all expenses in course of the transfer and the rest would be for us for investment purposes in your country. If this proposal is OK by you, and you do wish to take the advantage of the trust we hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly reach me immediately via my confidential fax number +23417597019 (ONLY FOR SECURITY REASONS) +23417597019 furnishing me with your most confidential telephone and fax numbers and exclusive email so that I can forward to you the relevant details of the transaction.

[XFree86] G400 Dual Head and RedHat 9
Folks, I am posting this to the XFree86 mailing list and the RedHat general list. The issue appears to be pertinent to both XFree86 and RedHat 9, and I have not seen any specific mention of it in the current archives when I searched on Google. I apologize for the length of the note but want to get as many possibly pertinent details into it as I can. We recently had a meltdown on a box that had RedHat 7.3 installed; we decided to install the latest version of RH since support for 7.3 seems likely to go away in the near future. The box contains the following hardware: ASUS P2B-D Dual PII motherboard Dual PII 450 Deschutes CPUs w/512K cache 448 MB non-ECC PC100 RAM 3Com 3C905B-TX Ethernet ESS-1968 Maestro 2 sound Matrox G400 Dual-Head w/16 MB RAM Generic 40X CD-ROM 6.4 GB Quantum IDE HD 13 GB IBM IDE HD ViewSonic P810 21 Monitor IBM P200 20 Monitor The 6.4 GB drive has an old installation of NT 4.0 on it which we have enabled for dual-boot. The 13 GB is the primary channel master, the 6.4 is the primary channel slave, and the CD is the secondary channel master drive. On to the problem: when we installed RH 9, we were unable to set up dual head Xinerama display as we had previously. Not surprising, as we had to download the Matrox binary-only drivers to make that work on RH 7.3. We downloaded the latest drivers from Matrox which are currently labeled 3.0 compared to the old ones at 2.0, and installed them. After some initial weirdness with the MGA PowerDesk utility showing the second head greyed out so that it appeared it was impossible to configure it, we were able to get the second monitor up. For some odd reason, if you double-click in the (empty) area to the right of the monitor icons in Power Desk where the mode selection radio buttons go, it suddenly decides to activate the second monitor. Go figure. So, we configure the monitors into dual-head mode, left and right merged display. Restarting X brings up the dual-head display as we expected, and we were able to log in. We configured up2date and got all currently available updates onto the box. Then we started actually trying to use the system, and the problems began to appear. Here are the primary problems: 1) Anything GL-related can (and probably will) kill X. This problem first manifested when the primary user would walk away from the machine long enough for the screensaver to come on. He would often come back and find that he'd been logged out. He initially thought this was some wacky new auto-logout feature built into the screensaver and wasted some time trying to find something in the configuration windows to disable it. We found that we could force the crash by selecting preview on any of the GL screensavers such as GLForestFire. 2) Any version of Mozilla other than the 1.2.1 that ships with Redhat is extremely unstable. Browsing to the Ximian site locked up both 1.3 and 1.4 stable versions of Mozilla. We downloaded Firebird 0.6.1 as well, with the same results. Most of the time they won't even start; you get an empty grey window frame when you try to start any of them. Redhat's 1.2.1 continues to run like a champ. We de-installed the Matrox drivers and went back to single-head mode, and all of the problems immediately vanished. OK, so we went looking for information on this problem. We were unable to find anyone else who was having the specific problems we were having, either in the mailing list archives for redhat, XFree86, or the Linux lists at Matrox. We found some stuff through groups.google.com which suggested we might be able to run the G400 in dual-head mode without using the (clearly buggy) Matrox drivers, but that turned out to be totally fruitless. We set up a xinerama-enabled XF86Config file and attempted to run with the 4.3.0 stuff that we had installed. No joy. XFree86.0.log clearly showed that it wanted the mga_hal_drv.o file to be available. We finally concluded that the folks who claimed to be running without the Matrox drivers must be running distros that shipped with mga_hal_drv.o installed and they just weren't aware of it. One of them was running Mandrake, but I don't recall which version it was. You can find those posts on Google by searching for Mantrox G400 Dual (and no, that's not a typo). Documentation for XFree86 states that the default behavior for the MGA driver is to load the MGA HAL driver if it is available, so we tried installing *just* the mga_hal_drv.o file from Matrox but leaving the stock 4.3.0 mga_drv.o file in place. No joy. The second head would not turn on. Primary head worked fine, and none of the crashing problems were there. The 4.3.0 Matrox mga_drv.o file is almost 20 times larger than the one for 4.2.1, which suggested that there might be a bunch of debugging code in there which was the source of the problems. Some archived posts to the Matrox Linux list stated that it was possible to run the 4.2.1 Matrox drivers under 4.3.0, so we

[XFree86] ThinkPad T21/FreeBSD: X wont terminate cleanly
I run FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE on my 256M ThinkPad T21, and have installed XFree86-4.3.0,1 from packages, along with the Gnome desktop, package gnome2-2.2.0. I have also compiled the KDE desktop from port kde-3.1 and it also exhibits this problem. My laptop locks up upon termination of the X session. When I select Log Out from the Actions menu, the screen goes to what appears to be a completely blank text-mode screen, but nothing further happens. I do not get back to a text console, and neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace nor Ctrl-Alt-Delete have any effect. My only recourse is to hold the power button for six seconds and power the laptop down, and endure the resultant fsck on boot-up. I used to tolerate this, but on a recent fsck I had some extensive file system damage, and had to re-install my laptop as a result, so I'd like to root this out.

Re: old Mach32 and Mach64 servers
There is a GATOS project to add 3D to those mach64 chips which support 3D; it has never been merged into the XFree86 driver. Xv may or may not have made it into the mach64 driver too. GATOS develops the Xv and video in/out features of ATI cards. the DRI developers have added 3D support for mach64 (rage pro) chips (3D on the older rage I/II/IIc is still not supported). basic Xv support was recently added to xfree86 cvs for mach 64. One DRI developer makes a Xv/DRI merged driver available as well on his website (can't remember where off of the top of my head). This is the driver I use for my Mach64 and I think also the driver with the best support for the Mach64 chipsets. It would be very nice to see the Xv+DRI merged drivers made available for X. If only some important soul within the XFree86 project with the correct privileges has time to oversee the mergin off code into the XFree86 main branch how nice that would be!

[XFree86] ThinkPad T21 locks up on exit from X session
I run FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE on my 256M ThinkPad T21, and have installed XFree86-4.3.0,1 from packages, along with the Gnome desktop, package gnome2-2.2.0. My laptop locks up upon termination of the X session. When I select Log Out from the Actions menu, the screen goes to what appears to be a completely blank text-mode screen, but nothing further happens. I do not get back to a text console, and neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace nor Ctrl-Alt-Delete have any effect. My only recourse is to hold the power button for six seconds and power the laptop down, and endure the concomitant fsck on boot-up. I used to tolerate this, but on a recent fsck I had some extensive file system damage, and am re-installing my laptop this weekend, so I'ld like to root this out.

In other way, how can I record the screen as a movie file without making screen shots? thank for your help OK, this is messy and only an outline of what to do, but I think I have a couple ways for you to solve your problem. On a Windows box: 1) Install an X windows implementation such as X-Win32 (the one I use) or Cygwin. 2) Obtain one of many Windows utilities to make a movie out of screen activity (I have no direct experience with such packages -- I hear there are many such as gifgifgif and Camtasia). of the package he uses is not in right now). 3) Set up the security on your Windows-box X server so your XFree86 box can access the X server. You likely just have to put the IP of the XFree86 box into some security dialog. On the XFree86 box where you'd like to do the video capture: 4) Reset the DISPLAY environment variable to your Windows box IP with :0 for the display number (or whatever it takes to redirect the : windows to your Windows box and start your XFree86 application. The biggest issue I think you'll have is running a window manager and keeping it from interfering with the appearance of your application. Here's the alternate (probably better) solution... On a Windows box: 1) Obtain a VNC client for Windows. 2) Obtain a Windows screen capture movie program (same as #2 above). On your XFree86 box: 3) Install VNC server and VNC client. 4) Start a VNC server with :1 as the display. 5) Start your application with :1 as the display. 6) Start the VNC client using :1 as the display -- go full screen. [At this point you should be able to do whatever you would on your XFree86 box and your VNC client will display the activity. It should look normal to you (not crucial, but reassuring). On the Windows box (suggested order of events): 7) Start your screen capture utility. 8) Start your VNC client using the XFree86 IP address and display :1 then go full screen. 9) Do whatever work you'd like to do on the XFree86 box via the VNC client on your Windows box. When you're done just stop the screen capture utility. You naturally have to edit the captured result to drop whatever you don't want at the start. Please accept the above as concepts. I have tinkered around with trying to capture XFree86 activity on Redhat 7.3 and did set up a VNC client on Windows/NT (full screen) so I could see what was happening on the XFree86 box. I never took the next step of recording the activity, I simply made a recommendation to a gentleman who wanted to go to the next step. Good luck!

Other than having to install one development package (pam) I thought all was hunky dory. Before installing it, I decided I did not want to remove the older version (4.1 i think) and all packages dependant on it so I kept it on there. The problem I'm having is that libXTrap.so.6 and libXv.so.1 (maybe others too) are not found despite their existence in the same place as the other libs which work fine. I used 'ldd xvinfo' 'ldd xtrapinfo' to confirm the other libraries that X 4.3 installed are found (in /usr/X11R6/lib) . I have checked the permissions and links which appear to be no different to the other libraries. Any pointers to what may be causing this? Ta v much, James ~(sirromseventyfive)~ _ Tired of 56k?
