Re: [Xpert]Non functional DRI
Sorry if you have already been told this. I fell into this trap untill it was pointed ot that you need Section DRI Mode 0666 EndSection in your XF86Config file. Hope this helps, Owen Mukhben Singh wrote: Hi, I have been struggling with it for almost a week now. I have compiled the kernel over and over again, changed the X Config file numerous times but still am not getting the expected results. To cut a long story short, the frame rate in tuxracer is pathetic. Actually in the log files, DRI and AGPart are reported to be enabled, but still glxinfo returns Direct Rendering: NO and I guess that is why the frame rates are so bad. Also the display in TUXRACER is garbled. The new kernel which I compiled after applying the suggested ( suggested by Thomas who has written drivers for my vid card ) code for the kernel frame buffer, seems to work fine except for a couple of modules which are not related to video display ( supermount and sound ).

Fortunately, GL is now working fine. Graphics glitches refers to blocks in widget backgrounds or window decorations that are rendered in the wrong color or with portions copied from other parts of the display. Hi Leif, This is a long standing, well known bug in the i810 driver. I spent some time a few months ago on it, but unfortunately I ran out of extra time to continue hunting it down. There's much discussion about it if you browse the archives from this summer and early fall. It seems to be specific to KDE, and from the small amount of time I spent on it, I believe it has something to do with the pixmap cache. A few people on the list sent me a patch or two to try, and one of them contained a hack that would allow you to view the pixmap cache on screen. It seemed that whenever the corruption would appear on screen, if I looked at the pixmap cache, the tiles used to draw the window backgrounds would also be corrupted in the same manner.

IF only there was a fix. But there is a (messy) workaround. But it's lots better than a reboot. The issue is the Radeon M7 with a 1400x1050 display. If the display is running at 1400x1050 when the panel is powered up, it loses sync. The re-establish sync, do the following with required mods for your system specifics: 1. Switch to a test display with CTRL-ALT-F2. NOTE: Your display will still be bad and may not change at all! Does not matter! 2. Turn off the display again. I use Fn-F3, but that is specific to my laptop and you will need to find out how to do this on yours. Closing the lid might do the trick. 3. Turn on the display by opening the lid or pressing a key.

Re: [Xpert]cirix Media GX and Xserver.
Hi, Re: If you are talking abt the CS5530 chipset then any of the accelerated X servers won't work. Either you have to use the frame buffer server or SVGA server. hello im using a JUMPTEC PC 104. MOPSlcdGX1, which has a media GX ... In the latest xfree86 cvs tree, as of a month or two, you should find the geode driver, which is National's driver for the CS5530. The latest cyrix driver (also within the last month or so) should also work if you explicitly use it (this was an older driver that should work with the 5510-5520, or at least that's my impression). If all else fails, you should be able to use the vesa driver... - bruce ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Re: [Xpert]X garbled after lid shut/open on Dell Inspiron 4150
Kevin, Thank you very much for the workaround. It does the trick: 1) Use CTRL-ALT-F1 to go to alternative console mode, 2) Close the lid and open it up again, 3) Use CTRL-ATL-F7 to return to the X window. Now the question is why we don't have this problem running Windows XP. Is the problem with the Radeon M7 driver under XFree86? Or the problem is with BIOS? If it's the later, I might bug Dell for a fix. Have a wonderful day. Bruce Sigh! This really needs to be a FAQ. IF only there was a fix. But there is a (messy) workaround.

Re: [Xpert]2 mice - 2 pointer ?!?
From: Dr Andrew C Aitchison [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where does the pointer come in ? I'm not saying that for a flight simulator it isn't useful to have more than one mouse or trackball; I'm all in favour of an X extension for that (I wouldn't be suprised to hear that there already is one) but that is 2 mice, not 2 pointers. I've been looking at xc/doc/hardcopy/Xi/lib.PS.gz the X Input Device Extension Library, which is implemented by XFree86 and some other X servers. Is the request for 2 pointers based on page 2, where it says All extension input devices are treated like the core X keyboard in determining their location and focus ? I think the next line, about explict focus, is your answer. As I understand it, an application can grab an input device and make it control anything it wishes. maybe I can add some examples: I am working on a container terminal simulation (might be any robotic type simulation in that regard...) where I visualize the crane movement during waggon loading and unloading movements (4 degrees of freedom: along tracks, transverse to tracks, lifting/lowering, rotation about z-axis). I'm using both a SpaceMouse _and_ a regular mouse for my user interface which already introduces the notion of distint foci: Spacemouse for crane interactive movement, 2D-Mouse for viewpoint manipulation at the same time. I can see why you want lots of degrees of freedom, and lots of inputs, but I don't really see why more of them are pointers in the sense I understand. It may be appropriate to show cursors for these independent actors, but they are application specific. In this case I think the fact that they are likely to be 3D is significant. I'm familiar with the idea of a mouse moving cross-hairs to rotate an object in 3D, but I'm not sure that I'd expect to see the cross-hairs if I had a track-ball - I'd just move the ball and expect the object to follow. Anyway, an application can take a device and draw its own cursor. I see an X pointer being as much connected with a keyboard as a mouse; what should the X server do with 2 pointers ? Shouldn't it leave the control of foci within an app up to that app. I don't know anything more about XInput, so I'll stop here, but I hope that I've given you a feeling for why some of us don't understand the request for more than one pointer as well as more than one mouse ? -- Dr. Andrew C.

Re: [Xpert] Extracting a KeySym from an action routine
Quoting Bruce M Beach [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi,
[snip]
Please CC any replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my paid for account)
since I'm forced to use the spam mail due to brain-dead SpamAssassin
[snip]
Hello All
I am writeing an applications using Intrinsics, and can't
figure out how to extract the KeySym from a key event routine
once the routine is executed. I.e. I have:
XtActionsRecedit_actions[] = {
. . .
. . .
. . .
{KeyEventEditor , KeyEventEditor}
};
String edit_trans =
. . .
. . .
. . .
KeyDown:KeyEventEditor();
After a key event KeyEventEditor executes correctly and then
I want to find out what key had been pressed and act accordingly.
KeySym XtGetActionKeysym(event, modifiers_return)
looks like a likely candidate but I can't figure out what or
where event comes from or how to point to it. The only
information
that I have is:
event: Specifies the event pointer passed to the
action procedure by the Intrinsics.
Depending on what you need, just the event passed to the XtActionProc
should be enough, not sure about modifiers state, but should be ok for
the translation table sample you provided. Is the function KeyEventEditor
being properly defined? XtActionProc is defined as:
typedef void (*XtActionProc)(
#if NeedFunctionPrototypes
Widget /* widget */,
XEvent* /* event */,
String* /* params */,
Cardinal* /* num_params */
#endif
);
so the XEvent pointer is available in KeyEventEditor.
and a grep through xc/programs just shows that nobody uses it.
Suggestions or pointers would be welcome.

Around 21 o'clock on Dec 3, Juliusz Chroboczek wrote: Why can't klipper take the ownership of the selection, as xclipboard does ? PRIMARY semantics don't really permit that, and it's a large performance problem for some selection types (ever done cutpaste in the gimp?); to fully support selection content, you'd have to fetch every possible representation of the data and store it in a separate agent. Also, 'klipper' doesn't generally advertise PRIMARY; one of it's many uses is as a passive assistant where it monitors the contents of PRIMARY and suggestions actions based on them -- select 'http://...' and klipper offers to launch mozilla for you. For that operation, it just wants the contents in text form, but prefers to leave the actual selection resident in the original application. Remember that one of the chief benefits of selections is that the data doesn't actually get transfered through the X server until it's requested, so applications are free to advertise selections for things which will probably not ever be copied to another client.

As a matter of fact, some of the gnome mailing lists basically said, Wait for gnome 2.2. However, I did manage to get it working. There may be a cleaner way, but here's what I did. I hope this can help someone else get it going too. (Who knows, that someone may be me in 4 months after I've forgotten exactly what changes to make :-)). These changes apply to RedHat 7.3 with Gnome (and no KDE) installed. From what I've read dual-head with separate window manager sessions should work almost out of the box using KDE (unconfirmed). Unfortunately, all of RedHat's tools are based on Gnome, RedHat doesn't update their KDE RPMs, and KDE doesn't support stable RedHat releases. So, I'm stuck using Gnome, not having the time or inclination to hack around trying to get a known good KDE environment running on RH 7.3. But all that has no bearing on the technical aspects; it's just why someone might bother to try. Your mileage may vary. 1. Edit XF86Config-4. Add a second Screen section, and a second Display section. Both should be a duplicate of the existing sections. Next, change the Identifier for the second Display and Screen sections to be unique. Use scanpci to obtain the BusID for the display adapter. If you have two PCI adapters or a separate PCI and AGP adapter, the BusID for the two Display sections will be different. If you have a single dual-head G450, it should be identical. In this latter case, add a Screen line to both Display sections - the first being Screen 0 and the second being Screen 1. Make any other obviously necessary changes (like display resolutions, color depths, monitor parameters, etc). Here are the sections from my XF86Config-4 file: --- Section Device Identifier Matrox G450 Head1 Driver mga VendorName Matrox BoardNameMillennium G450 AGP BusIDPCI:1:0:0 Screen 0 EndSection Section Device Identifier Matrox G450 Head2 Driver mga VendorName Matrox BoardNameMillennium G450 AGP BusIDPCI:1:0:0 Screen 1 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Matrox G450 Head1 Monitor Dell P991 DefaultDepth 16 Subsection Display Depth16 # demonstrates different display resolutions on one screen # e.g. for a 15 LCD and a Multi-scan monitor Modes1024x768 800x600 640x480 # Modes1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubsection EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen1 Device Matrox G450 Head2 Monitor Dell P991 DefaultDepth 16 Subsection Display Depth16 Modes1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480 EndSubsection EndSection --- Finally, add a second Screen line to the ServerLayout, referencing the newly added Screen section. --- Section ServerLayout Identifier Anaconda Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 Screen 1 Screen1 LeftOf Screen0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection --- 2. At this point, you should be able to bring up X (startx), and see the gdm or xdm login screen on Screen0, and a gray screen with the X cursor on Screen1. After logging in, Gnome should start on Screen0. Screen1 should still be gray. Now edit the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients. The key here is to invoke gnome-session twice, passing --display=:0.1 to one of the sessions. There are cleaner ways to do this, but this has minimal impact on the system configuration (in other words, if you don't have a second screen configured, it should work like the stock install). Note that the script greps for LeftOf or RightOf in the config file -- you could add Above, Below, and Relative as well if needed. --- #!/bin/bash # Copyright 1999 - 2001 Red Hat, Inc. # License: GNU General Public License v2 # check to see if the user has a preferred desktop PREFERRED= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then if [ -n `grep -i GNOME /etc/sysconfig/desktop` ]; then PREFERRED=gnome-session elif [ -n `grep -i KDE /etc/sysconfig/desktop` ]; then PREFERRED=startkde fi fi if [ -n $PREFERRED ] which $PREFERRED /dev/null 21; then PREFERRED=`which $PREFERRED` if $PREFERRED = gnome-session ; then if [ -n `grep LeftOf\|RightOf /etc/X11/XF86Config-4` ]; then $PREFERRED --display=:0.1 exec $PREFERRED --display=:0.0 else exec $PREFERRED fi fi fi # now if we can reach here, either no desktop file was present, # or the desktop requested is not installed. if [ -z $PREFERRED ]; then GSESSION=gnome-session STARTKDE=startkde # by default, we run GNOME. if which $GSESSION /dev/null 21; then
