[XFree86] XFree86 4.3 question
Would anyone know if XFree86-4.3.0-62.EL had problems with XFillRectangle and newly drawn bitmaps in RHEL 3? I have an application that draws rectangles into bitmaps (depth 1 pixmaps). These bitmaps are set as the stipple bitmap within corresponding full color GCs for a full color pixmap. The intent is to use XFillRectangle to stamp each bitmap into the pixmap with the display being the rectangle. This works fine in RHEL 4 with xorg-X11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.36 and not so fine with RHEL 3 with XFree86-4.3.0-62.EL. On RHEL 3, only some of the bitmaps appear in the final display. I figure the bitmaps are good, because I substitute XCopyPlane for XFillRectangle and the missing bitmaps will appear. I'd use XCopyPlane but it is way to slow for the amount of drawing I'm doing (literally billions of rectangles). Since it works in the one case, I'm hoping I'm just missing something simple like an initialization. But if there's a bug in release, I'll have to look at other options. (Also, are there any good resources on X programming other than the O'Reilly books?) Thanks, Willi ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Radeon 7000/VE, 7200, 7500, 8500, 9000, 9100, 9500, 9700 are all supported in Red Hat Linux 9, including the Pro variants of the latter chips.

All of the above cards are also supported with 3D except for the 9500 and 9700. I'm not sure where you've got your information that the Radeon 7200 is not supported by Red Hat Linux 9, as it's been supported out of the box in every OS release including version 9 for about 3.5 years. This card is the original Radeon card, and was previously known under different marketing names when it was originally released Radeon 32SDR/DDR and Radeon 64SDR/DDR. Another variant of this card is the Radeon LE, which is also supported, and will be detected as a Radeon 7200 also, as it has the same PCI device ID. I have read that you have to download a newer version of the x server... You heard very wrong. I was wondering if you could give me any information on how to fix my problem...any links or websites would be more than welcome. thank you We have no idea what your problem is. All you've stated, is that Radeon 7200 is not supported by Red Hat Linux 9, and that is false, as I have 2 machines running Red Hat Linux 9 beside me, with Radeon 7200 hardware in them, working flawlessly, and using the stock drivers that come with Red Hat Linux 9.

RE: [XFree86] Newbie question - Using XFree86 with no graphics or monitor
By Hummingbird, you mean 'Reflections', ie an Xserver on a PC? Its important to remember that the bit that displays everything, even though its the remote end that you're sitting at, is the _server_. The machine hosting the xterm/openoffice/gnome session and sending it to you is the _client_. You shouldn't have any/many problems with that: start your Reflections session, telnet in, export your display (export DISPLAY=PC IP address:0) and run the appropriate Xclient. If you're using another unix box instead of reflections, dont forget to 'xhost + suse host' on it to allow the client to use the display. If you're feeling cheeky, run Xnest and start Gnome inside it, to get that 'computer in a window' feel ;) -Oli = Original Message From Yann E.

You shouldn't have any/many problems with that: start your Reflections session, telnet in, export your display (export DISPLAY=PC IP address:0) and run the appropriate Xclient. If you're using another unix box instead of reflections, dont forget to 'xhost + suse host' on it to allow the client to use the display. Even better, use ssh with PuTTY instead of telnet. Also, if you use this a lot you can enable XDMCP on the unix box, at least if you run some kind of login manager. Then you can usually just do an XDMCP query to get a login screen remotely :-) Methods of enabling xdmcp and doing XDMCP queries vary with different display managers and X servers, but yours should have some documentation on it.

[XFree86] XLib question: Using XImage
I'm trying to implement a image loader that uses XImage(for the speed offered by direct access to XImage::data). The problem is that Xlib is so poorly documented that it's difficult to find anything beyond the manpages(or a PDF version of them) and this especially includes XImage. I've been searching for days but could not find any docs that explain the XImage::data format or offer a good example of using XImage with loaded data(No hard coded values or colors). While using the same DIB format in BMP files seems the most logical to me some sources I've looked at seem to indicate that the format is just a list of pixel values. Does anyone have experience working with XImage or know where to find source of a program that loads BMPs or PCMs or TIFFs and uses XImage to display them? __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Re: [XFree86] ONE QUESTION
Almost all Unix systems include a version of the X Window System - generally based off the original MIT/X Consortium/X.org sources. XFree86 is a branch off those sources which is used by most open source releases. You can find more information at http://www.x.org/ (Technically, in order to claim to be a Unix Workstation (tm), a system must include the X Window System - see http://www.opengroup.org/regproducts/xwm0.htm ) Long long ago, in the late 80's, this was not always true and there were other graphics systems on Unix, such as Sun NeWS and Apollo DM, but they have all long since died out. There have also been attempts to develop new ones, such as Berlin, but they have not been able to gain much hold against X. The only major Unix-like system that comes with anything other than X today is MacOS X, for which X is now available, but the native graphics system is Apple's Quartz. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Sun Software Group Quality, Integration, Customer Success (QICS) Platform Globalization Engin. - X11 Engineering Giraldo Alonso Suarez wrote: Then, UNIX only use xfree86 like grafic server? -Original Message- From: Josh Liechty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 9:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [XFree86] ONE QUESTION Every Linux distribution that I know of uses XFree86 for its implementation of the X Window System.

I have a Pentium 75 or 166 (tried both processors), 32 megs SDRAM, a tseng labs 4000 W32p (a supported card), and 4 gig hd. I am trying to use the version of Xfree86 that came with RedHat 7.0 disk. When I type "startx" the screen goes black for about 3-5 seconds and then an error message comes up. There is a server 11 error as well as a message similar to this: II) LoadModule: "v41" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module v41 (II) UnloadModule: "v41" (EE) Failed to load module "v41" When I use vi on the log file the only problem I see is this V41 not loading message above.

[Xpert]XFree86 driver question
Hi all, is it possible to write an xfree86 graphics driver that has similar functionality as Xvfb? (i.e. doesn't care/require graphics hw on the machine). I'm playing with writing a thin client (like vnc) that's transparent to X apps, and even though i could hack Xvfb to do what i want, it seems to me that a graphics driver would be a much nicer approach. I've been looking through the drivers code and playing with it and it seems like there's no straighforward/clean way to tell X: i don't care about the hw, just trust me, i can display anything. The cleanest way seems to be to tell X that I'm a generic vga driver and can support any hw, so is this the only way to go? any problems that could arise from this? thanks, ricardo --- Ricardo A.
