[Xpert]Xv - how to draw on top of the overlay.
I need to display some text on top of an Xv image. I guess I need to arrange for the text to be rendered into the destination window, which would have been painted in the colour of the chroma key by Xv. Is there an easy way to do this?

Re: [Xpert]Xv - how to draw on top of the overlay.
I think this solution which will work for me... Place a borderless window on top of the overlay window. Paint the window with the chroma key as the background, and draw the text in the foreground.

I'll keep playing with it, and if it seems to keep on working, I'll make it available to anyone who wants it.

[Xpert]S3 Trio 3D+XFee86 4.1.0
Hi guys, I've installed Mandrake Linux 8.1 (default installation). I'd like to use the XFree86 4.1.0 as its driver status shows: 4.1.0: Support (accelerated) for the ViRGE, ViRGE/VX, ViRGE/DX, ViRGE/GX, ViRGE/GX2, ViRGE/MX, ViRGE/MX+, Trio3D and Trio3D/2X is provided by the s3virge driver. Support (accelerated) for the Savage3D, Savage3D/MV, Savage4, and Savage2000, is provided by the savage driver. Support for the other S3 chipsets has not yet been ported. Summary: Only the ViRGE, Trio3D and Savage chipsets are supported in 4.1.0. All of the other chipsets are supported only in 3.3.6. Well, I can't do that. Everytime, the XFree recognized as default for this board the XFree86 3.3.6. When I uninstall it and try to use by force 4.1.0, the system asks for the insertion of the CD1 to install XFree86 3.3.6. On Mandrake 8.1, I can't use xf86cfg either. It crashes, with a segmentation fault message. Does it happen to everyone? At RedHat 7.2, does the same thing occur? I go to configure it manually, editing XFree86config. In the section device I put s3virge. Nothing happens. In fact I don't even what I must do. And I continue using the 3.3.6, without anti-aliasing fonts and icons, thus I could once make my system thought I have an S3Virge video card. At this time, everything worked well (I mean anti-aliasing and other features). I had a little problem with sound and had to reinstall the system entire. I couldn't make that again. I'd like. it seems for a moment I could use the s3virge driver. Could you help me? Best regards, PI ___ Yahoo! GeoCities Tenha seu lugar na Web. Construa hoje mesmo sua home page no Yahoo! GeoCities.

On Mon, 10 Dec 2001, Martin Held wrote: Hello, I am in the market for buying a Radeon 8500, and read your post to the Xpert mailing list. Have you found DRI to be working yet at all in CVS? I like to be able to play my DVD's under linux, and I only use Windows for gaming. The 8500 has become attractive to me since it apparently has dual head support, wondering if you know about either or have seen either work well, and how happy you have felt about the support for the 8500 (or lack thereof) thus far. I'm trying to find out as much information before I even think of taking the plunge. I'm not sure. I'm able to run XWindows using a checkout from cvs. However, using the 2.4.7-10 kernel in RedHat 7.2, my AGP controller (I've got an Athlon system w/ a VIA KT266A chipset on the motherboard) isn't recognised and it appears to just be using PCI access to the Radeon 8500. Thus, no DRM or DRI. I've also tried using the stock 2.4.16 kernel. With this, the AGP controller is recognised but, when I start XWindows, the monitor loses it's signal, and the only thing I can do is reboot the machine. I've checked the log file at /var/log/XFree86.0, and it doesn't show any problems. So, w/ the 2.4.7-10 kernel, I still just get a black box where the video would be (although it's no longer offset to the right of the window's frame), and w/ the latest kernel's I can't run X at all. I've pretty much given up on doing much w/ XWindows on my new system for now. I've ended up leaving my old computer hooked up to my main monitor and having XWindows apps on my new computer display, across my home network, in the XWindows session on my old computer. Althought it may be an issue w/ the kernel's drm drivers for my motherboards chipset, at this point, I wouldn't recommend either the Radeon 8500 or the 7500 for a linux user who want's to do run 3D or video apps. I find myself wishing I'd bought one of the newer Matrox boards (G450 or somesuch). They're not as fast for 3D (which I can't use w/ the Radeon 8500 anyways), but they blow the GeForce3 and Radeon 8500 aways when it comes to super crisp high resolution non-3D work (the GeForce's fuzziness is the main reason I won't buy one). -- Noah Romer |Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and [EMAIL PROTECTED] |a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing PGP key available |their lollipops. by finger or email | - Jeffrey Pelt _Hunt for Red October_ ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Next I upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 using the binaries downloaded from xfree86.org, still no improvement. I decided to go for the CVS. I downloaded, compiled and installed what came out to be the pre-release version XFree86-4.1.99 (or so). Still no luck with the configuration tool 'XFree86 -configure', although the chip now was correctly identified as a cyberbladeXPAi1. So, I started playing around with some test configuration file and by forcing the chipset as a cyberbladeXPm/16 I got a perfect picture and everything seems to work fine, at least what I tried so far. The strange thing is that if I force the chipset as a cyberbladeXPAi1, which is what it should be, then it does not work. I wonder if this is a bug or something is wrong with my setup. I hope that this is useful for those who are still struggling to get their video configuration with this chip.

Re: [Xpert]where do keycodes originate?
but something else occurred to me: does version 4.0.1a, which is what i'm running, have the necessary support for internet keys? when did the code snippet that david dawes quoted yesterday get added, relative to the release train? It should be there in 4.0.1. In that version you should even get a message in your X server log file about an Unreported Prefix0 scancode if the key events are getting through.

Hi: I have a Linux RedHat 7.1 with Xfree 4.03 and a trident 9680 vga card with 1mb ram and I am using it at 8000x600@60hz. The mouse pointer looks allright and it points to to the right place (according to the mouse things are where they have to be and if I point the lower right part of the screen the kde menu appears but in another place and very big) but the rest of the images (desktop,icons,etc) are very big and of course I can only see part of the desktop. Acceleration is disabled and I have tried every option of the trident driver without success. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks Santiago

You can get 2D working with standard 4.1 by defining the chipset as ATI RADEON QE AGP and setting AGPMode to 1 in your XF86Config-4 if I remember correctly. It works but it will crash if you run any OpenGL. I had no problem with the CVS just downloading from xfree86.org with cvs checkout xc. Then I went into the directory and ran: make World make Install Then I placed a bogus chipset name in XF86Config-4 so it would give me the list of chipset in the error log. I chose the 8500 chipset name and added it to my XF86Config-4 file. I also removed the nodri option and added the AGPMode option to set AGP to 4.

[Xpert]QUESTION: subtle behavior of XSetClipMask() ?
The question, then the context: I have a bitmap, A. I set this bitmask as the clip mask in my GC. If I modify A, do I have to re-call XSetClipMask() for the modifications to take effect? I have a square area, lets say 400x400. I frequently re-paint the whole area with different sections of a larger drawable. However I have another little image that I draw on top, 30x30 in size. When I draw this little box, I have no problem doing the masking such that the little arrow symbol is drawn on top of the larger area without disturbing the image underneath. But the location of the little box also frequently changes, so making a static clipmask the size of the 400x400 area isn't the way. I'd like to be able to repaint the whole 400x400 area, without disturbing the little arrow symbol. I would like to do this with one XCopyArea() operation, because when I use more than one XCopyArea to copy the area, the artifacts are very visible. What is the method that involves the least amount of X calls, or at least is the fastest possible, method to repaint my window? Creating a subwindow and using those cool alpha channels that seem to be included in the Render extension might be the way, but I have no idea how to begin using it.

[Xpert]XFree 4.1.99, Radeon Mobility DGA
Hi, I've got a problem getting DGA to work properly with a Radeon mobility LY (AGP). The application I try to use with DGA is VMWare 3.0. When switching to fullscreen mode in VMWare the display gets completely scambled. (you can see mouse moves by appearing horiz. lines, but that's all you can imagine). The VMWare log claims that DGA2 and DGA acceleration is supported, reads the XvidModes and does a mode switch, that's it. I'm using XFree86 4.1.99 (CVS from Nov 23) and binary ATI modules from the GATOS project (Dec 5). Also tried the stock Xfree modules before, same result. Has anyone seen such a behaviour ? I'd also like to check if it's really XFree related and not VMWare, so any pointers to other DGA (test) apps (which also do a mode switch perhaps) would be great. See the XFree86.0.log below.

Render everything into a pixmap, set it as the window background and call XClearArea on the window areas you need updated. Note that if you've changed the pixmap contents you need to reset it as the window background because the protocol doesn't guarantee that the new contents will go into effect without that. Note that the pixmap doesn't get damaged when the window does and the window will automatically get repainted from the background pixmap on exposures so you don't need to handle expose events anymore. If the arrow is monochrome, the fastest way to render it is with a stippled fill using a monochrome bitmap with the shape of the arrow in it. Copy large drawable to 400x400 pixmap (single rectangle) render arrow (single stippled rectangle, note that you'll have to use XSetTSOrigin to have it match the arrow location since GC stipples are drawable aligned). set pixmap as window background XClearArea Do nothing at all for exposures.

I'm using XFree86 4.1.99 (CVS from Nov 23) and binary ATI modules from the GATOS project (Dec 5). Also tried the stock Xfree modules before, same result. DGA 2.0 support in the radeon driver has apparently been fixed in XFree86 CVS on November 26th.

XFree86 doesn't do this itself. This sounds like the Mandrake installer is not allowing installation of 4.1.0. Is there a way in mandrake to install 4.1.0 manually? Then if you have to you can manually configure XFree86. (I haven't used Mandrake.) After a manual install, try 'X -configure' as root and let us know what you get. (You should get a sample config file.) On Mandrake 8.1, I can't use xf86cfg either. It crashes, with a segmentation fault message. Does it happen to everyone? At RedHat 7.2, does the same thing occur? I go to configure it manually, editing XFree86config. In the section device I put s3virge. Nothing happens. In fact I don't even what I must do. And I continue using the 3.3.6, without anti-aliasing fonts and icons, thus I could once make my system thought I have an S3Virge video card.

Re: [Xpert]QUESTION: subtle behavior of XSetClipMask() ?
Thank you Mark. Your description was just what the doctor ordered. I can get rid of clip masks entirely now, and a bunch of other extraneous operations. Thanks to your description, I don't need to know the following information now, but its been bugging the heck out of me: how did Keith Packard make his twn menu-windows translucent? Are there docs somewhere that should make this obvious to me, which I haven't found yet? On the Render list archives I saw someone saying explicitly this stuff ISN'T documented anywhere...

Render everything into a pixmap, set it as the window background and call XClearArea on the window areas you need updated. Note that if you've changed the pixmap contents you need to reset it as the window background because the protocol doesn't guarantee that the new contents will go into effect without that. Note that the pixmap doesn't get damaged when the window does and the window will automatically get repainted from the background pixmap on exposures so you don't need to handle expose events anymore. If the arrow is monochrome, the fastest way to render it is with a stippled fill using a monochrome bitmap with the shape of the arrow in it. Copy large drawable to 400x400 pixmap (single rectangle) render arrow (single stippled rectangle, note that you'll have to use XSetTSOrigin to have it match the arrow location since GC stipples are drawable aligned). set pixmap as window background XClearArea Do nothing at all for exposures. msg02374/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[Xpert]Trident cyberbladeXPAi1
Hi there, I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800-S204 with a Trident cyberbladeXPAi1 video chip and of course RedHat 7.0 did not recognize it. I upgraded to XFree-4.1.0 but no improvement. I recently downloaded and installed the latest CVS of December 4 and although everything seemed to be ok, I still don't get the card to work. It is recognized, but I get an extremely poor configuration, absolutely anusable. I wonder why it doesn't work since I read that this chip was included in the soon to be released XFree-4.2.0. Does anybody know of any possible fix? If needed I can provide the log-file. One more things, after installing the CVS, which is basically 4.1.99.1 my startx quit working. It now gives the error message: xauth: error while loading shared libraries: LibXmuu.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. What went wrong in the installation? I would greatly appreciate if somebody could help me. Thanks Gabriele

As the alpha mask is a separate drawable, you can adjust the location of the object by changing where the zero bits are in that mask. No need for subwindows; just a simple mask. Keith, even if you aren't going to release your hacked version of twm, can you tell the eager masses what the trick was to make those root-menu windows in your twm screenshot be translucent? To make this work reasonably is requiring significant restructuring of the insides of the X server.

[Xpert]Trident cyberbladeXPAi1
Hi I am happy to be able to say that finally I got a good screen configuration on my Toshiba 1800-S204 laptop with a trident cyberbladeXPAi1 chip. It took me a lot of attempts but this is what I did. I installed RedHat 7.0 that comes with XFree86-4.0.1 and it did not detect my card. Next I upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0 using the binaries downloaded from xfree86.org, still no improvement. I decided to go for the CVS. I downloaded, compiled and installed what came out to be the pre-release version XFree86-4.1.99 (or so). Still no luck with the configuration tool 'XFree86 -configure', although the chip now was correctly identified as a cyberbladeXPAi1. So, I started playing around with some test configuration file and by forcing the chipset as a cyberbladeXPm/16 I got a perfect picture and everything seems to work fine, at least what I tried so far. The strange thing is that if I force the chipset as a cyberbladeXPAi1, which is what it should be, then it does not work. I wonder if this is a bug or something is wrong with my setup. I hope that this is useful for those who are still struggling to get their video configuration with this chip.

snip The strange thing is that if I force the chipset as a cyberbladeXPAi1, which is what it should be, then it does not work. I wonder if this is a bug or something is wrong with my setup. How about this as a clue: On my 1805-274 when I look at Windoze XP the chip is reported as a CyberBladeXPAi1, but when I boot up Linux the chip is detected as a CyberBladeXPm. And if that weren't confusing enough The Toshiba Web site system specification sheet (pdf) lists the graphics chip as a Trident CyberAladdin-T graphics controller. The Trident web page says the Trident CyberAladdin-T is a CyberBladeXP combined with an Acer Laboratories's North Bridge (M1651T) to provide a ...new generation of low-power integrated graphics and core logic supporting the latest Intel Pentium® III-M (Tualatin) processor family. while a CyberBladeXPAi1 combines Trident's 2D/3D graphics core (BLADE 3D[tm]) and Acer Laboratories ' North Bridge (M1641) to provide a ...low-power integrated graphics and core logic supporting Intel's Pentium® III and Celeron[tm] processor family. So now at least on my box I am unclear as to a) what the graphics Chip really is and b) how much difference the confusion in a) matters when it cones to picking a driver. What a mess!
