Hi all,
I test the presence and usability of include/X11/extensions/Xinerama.h
using a configure script.
The script complains that the file is present but not usable.
My looking at the Xinerama.h file, it doesn't include other X headers so
Bool is not defined. That's why the configure scripts

making games and such should move out of the DOS age and migrate
to OpenGL.
Not all XFree supported cards/drivers support OpenGL acceleration.
Using OpenGL with Mesa sw is unusable for any real app but
2. What is presented on the screen should always be consistent (i.e.
no flickering).
This is something I've seem many many times, mostly from people coming
from other OS. People claim that opaque move and resize is generally
faster with less flickering on other systems.

Hi Alan,
Try again, I've just made a small fix.
Sorry, but... Nope, it's worst.

Is two-headedness a feature of the video adapter, the driver software,

Hi Alan,
As far as I can tell, yes, I did a checkout on the CVS and did a make

That will take time, though ;-) I'll try if that can help.

Hi all, Alan,
FYI, I've downloaded, compiled and installed the CVS today, and I had to
revert to 4.2 because the latest CVS dosn't work for me.
It's very slow, there are graphic corruption and finally it crashes the
system after a few seconds.

Toshiba laptops have an option for that in the BIOS.
To access the bios, press ESC during startup (just when you see the red
Toshiba logo) and then press F1 to access the BIOS.
You can change the video output from Autoselect to External or

Hi all,
First of all, many thanks to Alan for providing us with an accelerated driver
for the Trident XP cards. It's great to have it.
There are a couple of issues that remain with this driver on the CyberBladeXPAi1
card, AKA Cyber-Aladdin-T from ALi (1644 northbridge)
1) Screen position :
On
Addendum :
In 24bpp, there are some artifacts left on the screen when moving windows
(opaque move). This doesn't show in 16bpp.
This might because I was running both Vesa and Trident drivers at the same time
on different VC.
It did not show again since I switched completely to the Trident
Alan,
Humm, well, after rebooting, the 5 pixel offset is gone.
So, after all, just the XVideo problems remain.
PS: I really enjoy acceleration with the new driver. Really great.
Cheers,
Olivier.

I have EXACTLY the same problem with a 1800-214 and the same video card.
I did exactly the same (try XFree86 4.10, get the CVS, etc.) w/out success. However,
I am now able to run X using Vesa over FB in 1024x768 16bpp.
I can contribute my XF86Config if needed. Note that Vesa over

Would you mind sending me your XF86Config-4 file off list ? I've tried forcing the

Alan,
Try a 60Hz mode.
I'll try that in a few minutes...
Turn on ShadowFB and you should get the same speed as Vesa and FBDev.
Humm, nope, ShadowFB is on in my XF86Config-4 :

Egbert,
4. One should consider this when looking for a new system
(especially a laptop): It may be a good idea to look around
and see which HW is already known to be supported.
Humm, this is exactly what I've done (I'm quite used to Linux, running it exclusively
since 1994).
And,

If trident works it is better as it is accelerated.
Vesa uses the BIOS and allows mode switching - but it is
unacceled. It may still have quirks. fbdev is so simple
it should always work - but unaccelerated.
I think I may have found something interesting (thus I copy the list ;-)
