How do I debug modules/drivers symbolically in the X server?

2004-09-24 Thread Barry Scott
I'm trying to debug a problem with the Unichrome VIA driver in XFree86 4.4.0. How do you debug in the X server given that loadmod.c that seems to be loading all the code is not using mechanisms that allow gdb to know where the code is? So far I've patched in a call to add messages to the XFree86

Hello, I've posted this message over at the mailing list on fontconfig, but after some time, have received no reply and was hoping someone in this forum might be able to give me a list of the precise steps I must take to diagnose/resolve this problem: At the suggestion of the GTK+ web site,

Maybe on an SMP machine. Otherwise I don't expect you to get anything out of using a font server other than a less stable system. I believe font server related crashes are still possible in XFree86. Mark. On Thu, 23 Sep 2004, Michael Hamilton wrote: Is FontPath

I have noticed that, at times, our application boots up and the fonts are different than a previous boot. I believe this is because the font server had some errors or some such. How would I go about changing the fonts from a font server to just listing the path? Do I need to use the mkfontdir

This is the expected behavior. You didn't start any window manager, you only started the server. Install your XF86Config file in /etc/X11/ and run startx. Mark. On Fri, 24 Sep 2004, David Berlind wrote: Hello, I've posted this message over at the mailing list on

Greetings, I have run into a curious issue when trying to build XFree86 (4.4.0 or 4.4.99.13) from source on my i586 Linux system. I have the sinking feeling that it is an easy problem with an obvious solution, but one that somehow eludes me. The symptoms are bizarre. After compilation

I think I might have located the problem. The server is not reporting the correct drawable in a completion event requested by an Xinerama-fied XShmPutImage request. The attached is a possible fix for that. That works, but I think there's just a typo in the original code that keeps it from

Thanks. I lowered the color depth, and that helped. I shall try upping the color depth and lowering the refresh rate to see if I can find an setting that does not produce the sparklies, and also does not flicker because of low refresh rate. Thanks again. Michael Shell wrote: davidjpenton
