Switching from Xv hardware scaling to X11 output

2004-08-16 Thread Nathan Kurz
Hello ---

I'm trying to fix an application (cinelerra) that changes from using
Xv hardware scaling to using unaccelerated X11 output in the middle of
a video stream.  Everything works fine, but there is a black flash
(output window goes dark) for a fraction of a second at the switch.

Current shutdown code looks something like this:

  case BC_YUV422:
 XvStopVideo(top_level-display, xv_portid, last_pixmap);
 for(int i = 0; i  ring_buffers; i++) {
   XFree(xv_image[i]);
 }
 XShmDetach(top_level-display, shm_info);
 XvUngrabPort(top_level-display, xv_portid, CurrentTime);

 shmdt(shm_info.shmaddr);
 shmctl(shm_info.shmid,
 IPC_RMID, 0);
 break;

Output window goes black soon after XvStopVideo call.  Is there
something I can do immediately before or after this call to avoid
having a period of time when no image is shown?  Something I can avoid
doing?  My blind attempts haven't worked.

Thanks!

Re: find a window and give it the focus

2004-07-12 Thread Nathan Laredo
I realize this isn't exactly what you were asking to do, but perhaps you
should look at the manpage for XCirculateSubwindows.

XCirculateSubwindowsDown will lower your top window to the bottom and
the one below it will be on top.   This is very similar to what you
wanted to do and doesn't require you to parse the window tree.

Keep in mind though, for some users, the topmost window is not always
the one that has focus (this is even true of win32 programming when
focus follows pointer (or win32 XMouse) is set), and you must
specifically set input focus to the window.   Also some users detest
it (read as I hate it) when window stacking order is changed on them
by applications.

 Hello all,
 I'm new to X window programming, so maybe my problem is very simple for many
 of you. The problem is:
 I have a stack of apps running on top of the X. None of them are stay on
 top. Let's say the following windows are on the system:
 
 desktop, x1, x2, ., xn
 
 From the xi window I want to find the main window of the app bellow xi ( let's
 say xi-1) and to give it the focus.
 
 My attempt was:
int root;
int parent;
unsigned int nchildren;
int* children;
Display* d;
 
d = XOpenDisplay();
int w = XDefaultRootWindow(d); //w should be the desktop
int ret = XQueryTree(d, w, (Window*)root, (Window*)parent,
 (Window**)children, nchildren );
 
 I have the ID of my window and I want to find which is the window imediately
 bellow it. Following the man of XQueryTree I thought the IDs are from bottom
 to top but I'm not sure the list is sorted from the point of view of Z
 order.
so, my need is ID_bellow_me = Some_Func_To_Find_The_ID();
 
 and then,
XSetInputFocus( d, ID_bellow_me, RevertToNone, CurrentTime );
XFree( children );
XCloseDisplay(d);
 
 Thanks for your help,
 Eugen

[XFree86] M$ Intellimouse Explorer (wireless) v2.0 extra buttons?

2004-01-13 Thread Nathan Allworth
Hi, I recently purchased the aforementioned mouse,
which works quite well.

I'm assuming that the tilting scroll wheel counts as
two buttons, the vertical motion of said wheel counts
as two, click down of wheel counts as one, LMB/RMB
count as one each, and the forward backward buttons
count as one each as well.

My xf86config files options:
Section InputDevice
Identifier  Mouse0
Driver  mouse
Option  Protocol ExplorerPS/2
Option  Device /dev/psaux
Option  Buttons 9
Option  ZAxisMapping 6 7
Option  Emulate3Buttons yes
EndSection

The emulate 3 buttons is on because the MMB is stiff,
and the scroll wheel is smooth, it makes navigating
using the MMB in blender quite a chore.

What I really want to do is swap the mapping between
the closest thumb button and the MMB, so that the
thumb button acts as the MMB.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks

Hello - Trying to get a new Fire GL X1 dual head setup running. I found
some resources that pointed to it working well with xinerama turned on
in 4.3.99. I have never compiled Xfree before and can't get it to
compile. Are the any how-to's floating around on how to compile this, I
can't find any. Or rpm's for this release floating around?

TIA!

FIFO busy loops are very quick. You'll harm overall graphic performance

   Your experience is out of date.  If I've just filled a Megabyte
 DMA fifo and I'm waiting to cram another Megabyte into it, how
 quick is my FIFO busy loop then?  I've had great success with
 sched_yield().
 

There's no disputing the first comment :-/

Wouldn't it be easier to dynamically adjust the size of the FIFO? So
instead of 

slice 1) send 1 megabyte
...
slice 2) fifo not drained, yield
...
slice 3) fifo not drained, yield
...
slice 4) fifo drained, send 1 megabyte
...
repeat forever, many wasted slices

Why not

slice 1) send 1 megabyte
...
slice 2) fifo not drained, reduce fifo to 512kB, wait
...
slice 3) fifo not drained, reduce fifo to 256kB, wait
...
slice 4) fifo drained, send 256kB
...
slice 5) fifo drained, send 256kB

A bigger FIFO reduces the risk of the FIFO emptying before you're ready
but if your slices are arriving faster than the GPU can drain the FIFO,
does it really matter?

 Almost certainly not before XFree86 v5.
 Even then I don't think a solution to your problem is actually possible
 for Xinerama; I don't know whether it would be for MergedFB.
 
 Xinerama *hides* the fact that there are two heads, so there is no
 way for the app to be told a different DPI debending which head it is
 currently on - what should it be told if it is on both ?

This is my point exactly.  When I raised this issue it was not to elicit a
correct solution, but rather to point out that the whole notion of DPI is
nonsense WRT Xinerama/MergedFB.  I would suggest this as a correct-ish
solution:  If Xinerama/MergedFB detects that both screens have nearly the
same resolution (to within some configurable tolerance) then use the
average of the two.  Otherwise the user has to specify the DPI to use with
the -dpi command line switch or some other mechanism.  (Is there a DPI
option in the XF86Config file?)  It might be nice to be able to specify
use DPI from screen foo in the ServerLayout section to simplify the
process a bit.

 IMO either you want the same DPI on both screens (fake whatever
 value you want with DisplaySize or X -dpi NN) or you want two
 non-xinerama heads - display:0.0 and display:0.1, which allows
 apps on each head to get the right answer for that screen*, and
 stops the DPI changes which would occur if the window was allowed to
 move between screens.

I agree, but I think that Xinerama/MergedFB could at least be smart enough
to either: A. do the right thing if you have two displays with the same DPI
or B. throw in the towel when you have two displays with very different
DPI.

Cheers,

 If you're running gpm as well as XFree86, try stopping gpm before you
 fire up XFree86 and see if that helps.

 Just an idle suggestion.

I just went back to runlevel 3, killed gpm, restarted X, and checked for gpm.  
It was not running, and I still have a trackball-shaped paperweight.  gpm 
does not appear to be interfering with X.

[XFree86] XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server

2003-07-17 Thread Nathan Fain
I have a SuSE8.1 system installed with the XFree86 4.3.0 packages from
SuSE for 8.1 and KDE 3.1 on top of that.  50% of the times that I run an
application we wrote I get the following error:
XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ebony:0.0
 after 14 requests (13 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
then that is it and it exits.  The other 50% of the time it runs
perfectly.  NOTE: I compiled the application using gcc3.1.  If I compile
it on a SuSE7.1 system with the SuSE X 4.2.0 packages and then run it on
a SuSE8.1 system it works fine.  Also note: this happens on all of the
SuSe8.1 system I have (about 20 or so) so it can't be specific to Video
card (they all have various cards).  Bellow is the last lines of an
strace on the application.  Note: DRI is setup and working and loads
just fine from the looks of the X log.
Any clues??
thanks

[I18n]Backspace

2002-12-09 Thread Viveka Nathan K
Hi all,

 I have modified the X source to support Indian languages. Here to 
delete the previous character through the code itself, I used the
value '\b' in the buffer. It works fine. 
 Now the problem is, for some key press, I need more than one back
space, where I called some fakeKeyEvents() recursively. But whatever
the no. of backspace I needed, it is not happening that much, it 
just deletes only one character backward and finished the backspacing.
The routine in the source is processing, but it doesnt delete the
character.
 This works fine for qt based applications.
 What might be the reason ? anyone have any idea ? pls
 
with Regards

[Fonts]Xft acceleration

2002-10-10 Thread Nathan G. Grennan

Hello,

  I have found a problem with X and really fast scrolling terminal
windows(named gnome-terminal from Gnome2) using Xft to render fonts. It
will cause the mouse cursor to repeatedly freeze for a second as long as
it's scrolling fast. I have been told this is caused by lack of Xft
acceleration in video drivers. Is anyone working on this, planning to
work on this, or could be convinced to work on this? It is a quite
annoying problem and the only workaround I have found is to renice
terminal windows to 3.

P.S. I am not a member of the mailing list, so reply to the list and me
directly, please.

[Newbie]changing resolution on a Dell Inspiron 8000 / ATI Rage 128?

2002-08-30 Thread Nathan Barton


My main question: is it possible to get the LCD on a Dell Inspiron
8000 laptop to work with X at something other than a single
resolution. In my case the LCD is 1400x1050, and I can't seem to come
up with a modeline for lower resolution that doesn't get rejected. And
all of the default modes are rejected too. I've seen other people
asking about this on the lists, but couldn't find anywhere that the
issue has been resolved.

I don't know much about X, and got into all of this because I want to
run quake3 and need to get the direct rendering to work (and higher
res may be a problem, given that my video card only has 8MB of
memory). I've included all sorts of stuff below... hopefully enough to
go on for anyone willing to help.

I am, but the way, running redhat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3, XFree86
version 4.2.0); and the video card is an ATI Rage 128 Mobility M4. The
screen does by the way work just fine in 1400x1050 mode.

Thanks in advance,
Nathan

[I18n]Event generations..

2002-06-13 Thread Viveka Nathan K


Hi,,

I have a doubt..

As per the Indian languages,
There are some consonants and vowels.
On combination of Consonant and Vowel, the glyph to be display is different.
It is not similar either to Consonant or Vowel, Its completely different.

Normally , in English, if the consonant 't' is followed by vowel 'a', we will
write it as 'ta', but in Indian languages, these two chars 'ta' will be written
in some different way.

For Indian language, I mapped (for eg.) 'D' to a vowel and 'K' to  a
consonant. If I type 'K' the corresponding consonant to that 'K' would be
displayed. If I type the consonant again, it just display the corresponding
consonants and going on and on.

but, If I type the vowel character 'D' next to the consonant 'K', the already
printed consonant, should be removed and the character corresponding to the
combination of the Consonant+Vowel should be displayed.

This is the thing needed for all the Koffice application( of course, KDE).  so,
I am modifying the Xlibrary.

Do you have any Idea? How to do that?

Things I have tried are :

  To delete the already displayed consonant, we have to generate backspace
event, so, in the XTranslateKeySym(), while the match for Consonant and vowel
comes, 
I just assign *sym_rtrn = 65288;  (for backspace) 
and assigned the resulting glyph in buffer such as
   buffer = resultingValue;

but it sends only backspace, not printing the content of the buffer..

If I assigned the values in buffer as
  buffer[0]='\b';
  strcat(buffer,resultingValue);

It displays a box for '\b' (in KDE Applns) and appended the resultingValue with
that.

[Xpert]Event generations..

2002-06-07 Thread Viveka Nathan K


Hi,,

I have a doubt..

As per the Indian languages,
There are some consonants and vowels.
On combination of Consonant and Vowel, the glyph to be display is different.
It is not similar either to Consonant or Vowel, Its completely different.

Normally , in English, if the consonant 't' is followed by vowel 'a', we will
write it as 'ta', but in Indian languages, these two chars 'ta' will be written
in some different way.

For Indian language, I mapped (for eg.) 'D' to a vowel and 'K' to  a
consonant. If I type 'K' the corresponding consonant to that 'K' would be
displayed. If I type the consonant again, it just display the corresponding
consonants and going on and on.

but, If I type the vowel character 'D' next to the consonant 'K', the already
printed consonant, should be removed and the character corresponding to the
combination of the Consonant+Vowel should be displayed.

This is the thing needed for all the Koffice application( of course, KDE).  so,
I am modifying the Xlibrary.

Do you have any Idea? How to do that?

Things I have tried are :

  To delete the already displayed consonant, we have to generate backspace
event, so, in the XTranslateKeySym(), while the match for Consonant and vowel
comes, 
I just assign *sym_rtrn = 65288;  (for backspace) 
and assigned the resulting glyph in buffer such as
   buffer = resultingValue;

but it sends only backspace, not printing the content of the buffer..

If I assigned the values in buffer as
  buffer[0]='\b';
  strcat(buffer,resultingValue);

It displays a box for '\b' (in KDE Applns) and appended the resultingValue with
that. 

Now, I think, what happen If I generate a seperate event for backspace ?
for that, I have to give a KeyPress and KeyRelease Events, 

By using, XPeekEvent, I can get the KeyRelease event, but I couldnt get the
Keypress event.

I dont know, whether I am moving in a correct way... !!  
Give me your comments and Solutions..

[Xpert]KeyPress event

How can I get a KeyPress event through, the 
XPeekEvent?

By using this, XPeekEvent, I can get the KeyRelease event, but I couldnt get the
keypress event.  I just want to send one KeyPress and KeyRelease event to the

Re: [Xpert]KeyPress event

2002-06-06 Thread Viveka Nathan K


Hi Mark,

   Thanks for  your response...
   While I peek the event using XPeekEvent, the only event available is 
KeyRelease, because, we can enter into the Xlookupstring function, only after
the KeyPress happens, so in the queue, the available event is KeyRelease only.

I want a KeyPress event to add in the EventQueue, So, I asked, how to generate
the KeyPress event, (through anyother way, like XSendEvent etc..  I dont know
how to generate that KeyPress event).

[Xpert]doubt in Sending Events

2002-05-31 Thread Viveka Nathan K


Hi

I have already sent this message, I am sending it again..
I am doing a localization in X.  Here, I need to send 
the backspace event and also some display item to the display.
That is,  
  If We press a key, the previously displayed character should be deleted and 
some glyph(character) should be displayed in that location.  What can I do?

Already, I doing modifications in XKBBind.c - XTranslateKeySym()
for backspace, I am sending 

sym_rtrn[0]=65288;
and assign the character, which is to be displayed, is in buffer
as strcpy(buffer,tmpchar);

but it only deletes, the previous character and not displaying the content of
the buffer...

what can I do?

[Newbie]looking for advice

2001-12-02 Thread Nathan Mace

i'm going to be getting a new video card soon.  i'm running freebsd/Xfree-4.  
what card could you guys recommend?  i'm not into 3D gaming, but i do like 
the extras. like transparent menus, fade-in's, etc, etc.  i run KDE as my 
desktop enviroment.

basically i want something that won't be out dated next week, but i don't 
need a ati-radeon 8500 either.  is there anything that is being actively 
developed with open-source drivers?  what about cards that have tv-tuners?  
is there any in paticalar that with linux/bsd better than the others?  
thanks.  and please cc me any replies

[Xpert]2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 monitors, 2 users?

2001-09-30 Thread Nathan Hoult

I have tried to set up my computer so that 2 people can use it at once. I 
followed what this guy did http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/; 
and I realize that his setup is just a hack and patch job. I was wondering
if there are plans to support this some time (may be option in layout to
ignore VT inputs?) anyhow I am CLOSE to getting it done and managed to have 
one or the other (with 2nd mouse and keyboard working on it) but when I load 
it up it seems to freeze the current screen/terminal. The guy said that the 
setup does not work on all video cards and apparently a GeForce2Pro and ATI 
All-in-wonder (Mach64) or Diamond 550 (TNT) setup doesn't work right now
(dang nvidia official drivers sometimes...). Now that I have babbled on for 
a bit i am asking is this is: already implemented,might be,kernel problem, 
never will work.

I personally like the idea of 2 people able to use 1 computer (I KNOW about 
terminals over network (100bit) but ever tried to play a game or DVD on it? 
hehe SLOW! may be USB2.0 will fix that?). Linux is the multiuser at the same 
time and Windoz can only dream of it. (I hear there is some professional 
2000 gold delux super server edition that can for 2000$ ha ha)

if this is not in any plans but you think it is possible (officially) who 
can i bug err e-mail that would know for sure?

Also is a PC a Personal Computer if 2+ people use it at once?hmmm if it
sin't, no wonder Microsoft is going to win in the PC market because the rest 
are far superior than PC :-)
