After you select Add new card it will ask if you want to look at the 
card database. If you say no you will get a list of drivers.
Is the Radeon in that list ?

Supporting every chip is hard enough, keeping a database of every
card and all the names (does the card have different names in different 
packaging) is very difficult; chances are that for v4.2 the radeon 
developers didn't get around to updating the card database.

[Xpert]multiuser X

2002-05-16 Thread - PSHunter

Hi Xperts !

I have thought about a scheme allowing multiple users to
have an X session simultaneously.

Currently the only way to do this is to open a new X on 
another vt. When using this configuration style it is 
however difficult for users to use it : if a user wants to
lock his session and go away, but wants to let others use
the workstation while he is away, others have to look for a
vt (with Ctrl-Fx) where they can log in. Another point is 
that there must always be open X's on vt8, 9, etc..

My idea is the following : Only one X is open on vt7, and 
when a user logs in, *dm doesn't hand the Xserver to the
user (i may be wrong in understanding this mechanism).
However, it launches a new Xnest, makes it fullscreen and
gives it to the user.

When a user wants to lock his session, the only thing *dm
has to do is to hide the Xnest window (the login box is
always open behind them) and prompt another user to log in.

What do you think about that ? (if this is the wrong place
to post this suggestion, please point me to the right place)

Thanks, JC.

I don't much like the idea.
How do you stop the second user from hiding his window
and bringing the first user's window to the front ?

Personally, I think that it is much better if each user logs out when
they leave, otherwise you could end up with a dozen users on the
screen. All those KDEs, Gnomes and netscapes could take up a lot of
memory.

What happens when the first user goes to a different terminal ?
They still have their first session running on the first terminal,
but can't quit it unless the scecond user quits.

If you want users to keep their session when they leave,
why not use VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) ?
This seems to overcome most of my objections (the sessions will
still take up memory).

[Xpert]**** ATI R128 DGA 2 API layer with XDGAFillRectangle() XDGACopyArea() XDGACopyTransparentArea() bug.

2002-05-16 Thread Jérémy Bar

Hi,

Any one had a chance to have a look at this one yet ?

The visual effects of the XDGAFillRectangle() XDGACopyArea() and 
XDGACopyTransparentArea()
functions are really not correct. It looks like the copied area gets sliced around the 
viewport as if the image size that the driver gives is not correct in
correspondance with the viewport size for those low resolution modes.

Who is the maintainer of the ATI r128 driver ?

Thanks.

[Xpert][PATCH] TDFX / Voodoo low tex mem hang

2002-05-16 Thread Michael

Two patches here, one is against xf-4_2-branch, one against DRI cvs

Tested with 0.38mb free texture space running q3 on highest texture
settings, which is probably the minimum you can have (as a comparison,
1280x960 leaves something like 8mb or so) 

Regardless, if it hits the same problem it should exit the application
cleanly rather than hang.

Please send feedback to me or dri-devel

Thanks,

I'm having some problems with xfree86 server, I 
bought recently a laptop called I-Buddie which uses the SIS 650 chipset, it is 
very wonderful machine but today I tried to install RH7.2 with no hope to start 
the Xserver, I checked the sis site; they don't mention anything about 650 chip, 
checked the others, no way. and the story goeZ on hunting for a driver but 
it seems hopeless.

I appreciate the guidance on this.

I restarted the box and repeated the sequence using Xftree.  Sure enough it locked

during the lock-ups.
   
   The problem disappears when I re-set the color depth to 24-bit!
  
  Maybe that's not the actual problem, but e.g. DRI is enabled in depth 16
  but not 24? Can you investigate or provide us with more information?

 Thank you for the reply.  I replaced the RH kernel with a kernel built from 
kernel.org.  I have tried repeatedly to freeze the screen but have not been able to 
freeze the screen since.  
 

Update:
No screen lock-ups since building new kernel two days ago!!  
I have switched between 8-but, 16-bit and 24-bit and the machine is rock solid while 
doing the things that caused it to freeze with Red Hat's kernel.

[Xpert]Mouse Problem

2002-05-16 Thread Kevin Pratt

Hello All,

I have had this problem with two different mice now.  After X has been
running for a while (about 2.5 hours) the hot spot on the mouse becomes
disjoint  from the main cursor image.  The only way I can fix it is to
reboot the computer.

When i click the actual action happens about ~10-20 pixels away from
where the mouse cursor actually is.

I was wondering if anyone had run into this problem before and if they
had can they point me in the direction of a fix.

I am running Gentoo Linux 1.1a on an Aopen MK73lE-N.  I used the X
distribution from the portage.

As I said, I have tried two different mice 1 an Aopen USB Optical mouse
(using the PS-2 converter (i am having USB troubles)), and an Acer
generic PS-2 mouse.

Thanks Kevin

If so, Option SWcursor in the Section Device of the XF86Config

[Xpert]TinyX (Xfbdev) not reading XF86Config?

2002-05-16 Thread Q-ha Park

maybe i'm mistaken, but i thought Xfvdev works as if it were a normal X
server, thus reading XF86Config and does what it's supposed to accordingly.

when i built TinyX, it didn't come with a default XF86Config and i thought
this was okay.(no?) so i copied a XF86Config file from somewhere else and
changed it according to what i read about building TinyX.

but many of the options i changed doesn't seem to work. for example, Don't
Zap doesn't work. (i can still kill my X with ctrl-alt-BS) and FontPath
doesn't read my korean fonts, (i still load it with xset +fp)..

any ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a Dell OEM ATI Radeon VE with a DVI interface on it. There is _not_

would like to connect a monitor to each of these VGA connectors, and run
Xinerama to span an X Desktop across both of them .

But before I do that, I was wondering...is it possible to configure X in
this way? Currently, I can only get the first monitor (the first interface)
to work. Is there something I can do make the X talk to BOTH  monitors?
I'm running:

Linux:  Slackware 8.0
Kernel:  2.4.18
XFree86: 4.2


If there currently isn't a way of doing this, is there a plan to add this
support to X in the future?



- Thanks,

Todd

 Is the ATI Radeon VE the same as the 7000? I read this somewhere.
Yes
 Any idea if 4.2 will work with this?
Yes

Thanks for responding. I've gone through the steps of installing the
4.2 binaries and running the xf86cfg. One issue is that 4.2 source files
may have been installed, and other files installed - which prevents startx
from
working. The configuration program works, but xwindows will not start. Do
you
suggest doing a fresh install of redhat 7.1, then the 4.2 binaries and
xf86cfg ?
or any other suggestions/steps to have this work? The system purchased is
listed

You can try X -configure after installing X4.2. If it still doesn't work,
send your log file.
