[XFree86] problem in xfree

2007-11-24 Thread vishnuvaradan vishnuvaradan
Hi All

For an embedded board with powerpc processor, I have successfully cross
compiled xfree86 for PPC.
I merged the xfree with the nfs.
I can able to boot the board with this root file system on loading the
prompt it displays all directories
but on entring into  etc directory,
*/etc # cd X11
/bin/ash: cd: can't cd to X11*
also
* /usr # cd X11R6
/bin/ash: cd: can't cd to X11R6*


Y this happens ?

I can able to list the above files in X11 and X11R6 directory in my  local
copy
but after booting into the board the file system displays the above

Any clue ?

   I think the most you should need to reinstall would be the RH
XFree86 RPMs that came with your distribution.  And perhaps there
is a subset that just contains the server and modules.

[XFree86] Problem getting xfree to work ( on gentoo )

2004-03-21 Thread David Eduardo Gomez Noguera
Hello. I have a running installation of Fedora and have just started to
get used to gentoo, in another hard drive.
I havent been able to configure gentoo, and dont know what is going on.

I have an MSI nvidia GForce card.
I have tried starting from a fresh XF86Conf from xf86config to starting
from Fedora's

xf86cfg is unusable, as it goes out of sync with the screen almost at
once, and locks the keyboard (i.e. not even the leds will work, so a
hard reboot is in order).
When I configured a vga driver with 8bpp and 640x480, the result was
that the display area was smaller than the screen, and a single term
wouldnt fit. 
When I used the nv driver, I would get windows that looked out of sync,
so much that anything was unreadable (except for the osd display of the
monitor)
When I used the nvidia driver, the nvidia splash showed up correctly,
and the windows appeared ok for an instant, then suddenly it all filled
up with different collored squares, like that old c/pascal graphics
demo, more or less... and lock the keyboard too.

Anyone has any idea what can be wrong?
I doubt the XF86Config has anything to do, but here it is, and one log
file
.

It would have been impossible for me to take a screenshot, but anyway I
think it would be too much to put on a mailing list.

  The GeForceFX 5700 is technically not supported by the nv driver
prior to XFree86 4.4.  XFree86 4.3's nv driver will try to treat it
as an older card and start up anyhow, but in the case of the

kindof works).  It's works fine with XFree86 4.4.

 When I used the nvidia driver, the nvidia splash showed up correctly,
 and the windows appeared ok for an instant, then suddenly it all filled
 up with different collored squares, like that old c/pascal graphics
 demo, more or less... and lock the keyboard too.

 Anyone has any idea what can be wrong?
 I doubt the XF86Config has anything to do, but here it is, and one log
 file
 .

 It would have been impossible for me to take a screenshot, but anyway I
 think it would be too much to put on a mailing list.

2003-07-15 Thread Marek Kopec



hi
i'm trying to start x-terminal via etherboot and 
ltsp (x-klient 486 dx 66 with tseng et 4000 w32p ,
x-server something better :) but i have some 
problem with xfree.

(ww) tseng: no matching device section for instance 
(BusID PCI:65:21:0) found
...
fatal server error :
failed to initialize core devices.

I use xfree 4.1.0 (ltsp x core 3.0.4) and have 
tseng et 4000 w32p video card.

A 486DX/66MHz with PCI?  Well, the w32p was used on PCI cards, so it must be 
so.  But I really don't trust that BusID...  What does lspci say?

I had a Tseng ET4000 (I think that's the chip name), but it caused hardware 
lockups when too much changed on the screen at a time (I could reproduce this 
with the BIOS menus), so I had to throw it in the garbage.  I managed to make 
it work with XFree86 4.3.0, in a multihead configuration no less, but I only 
got a valid display one time in ten or so, and it would immediately halt the 
computer thereafter.  But hey, I pulled it from a computer whose motherboard 
caught fire, so I couldn't really expect it to work right.  :^)

 I use xfree 4.1.0 (ltsp x core 3.0.4) and have tseng et 4000 w32p video
 card.

Can you take this opportunity to upgrade to 4.3.0?  Compiling X on a 66MHz, 
is, to misquote Egbert Eich, no fun.  If you can make the binary elsewhere, 
you should be set.

4.2.0 made some various updates to the tseng driver 
(http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/RELNOTES2.html#3), which you are probably in 
need of.  It could be that upgrading will fix your problem, so go for it.  
According to 
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/tseng/ 
, the latest change to tseng (aside from removing an #ifdef) predates 4.3.0 
by several months, but you should get the latest anyhow since the underlying 
PCI code, etc, has been updated.

Lastly, I have been considering making a couple cheapie dedicated X servers 
for my house.  Will a 486DX2/50MHz work?  How about a 486SX/25MHz?  
Overclocked to 33MHz?

[XFree86] Problem with xfree / ATI M7 / grsec: Can't mmap BIOS

2003-03-01 Thread Klaus Kusche
Today, I installed Gentoo's latest stable kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 
which includes the GR security patches. I have enabled the kmem 
protection of the GR security patches, which prohibits writing to 
/dev/kmem and /dev/mem (and also mmapping them for write) and opening 
/dev/port, but - according to the documentation - specifically allows 
xfree to mmap video memory.

With the new kernel, xfree fails to start:
* First, it gives an error message about being unable to access the BIOS:
(EE) RADEON(0): Cannot map SYS BIOS
* Then, it gives up with the following message:
Fatal server error:
xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0x,0x1000) (Operation 
not permitted)

(Note that the mapped address is 0, which looks extremely strange to me!)

The same configuration (also with grsec's kmem switched on!) worked fine 
for me with the previous Gentoo kernel (2.4.19-r10) and the same xfree. 
It also works with the new kernel if kmem protection is disabled.

This is on a sony notebook with an ATI M7.

Questions:
* Does xfree mmap the BIOS read/write and why?
* What consequences will it have if the BIOS is not accessible (on a 
notebook, with the builtin flat panel).
* Is the strange framebuffer mmap a consequence of the BIOS problem?
* Any tips or help concerning grsec and xfree?

Many thanks in advance!

   Looks like a partial upgrade and the modules are mismatched.
Check the compiled for messages in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log
file.  All the modules should be the same version as the server.


Mark.
