Re: [Xpert]how to add a new driver

How Which other's Imakefile? Or do you mean you made one in the new drivers directory? Did you add your driver to the files in xc/config/cf? For example xfree86.cf lists card drivers. You need to touch that or add your driver to host.def. At least a 'make Makefiles' is required for the full tree after that, possibly a 'make Everything'. I thought there where more changes required, but I don't see any evidence of it in the places I looked. can I assure that the driver will be compile ? Better still if it can compile only my driver without re-making other modules. Also, I find that the SDK /usr/X11/lib/Server is not working well, I try a make there and most of the drivers could not be make from there. -- Kevin ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert]PAL Modeline with S3 ViRGE DX.
Filip djMedrzec Zyzniewski wrote: Hey. I have a S3 VIRGE video card (using it because of XVideo). Xserver tells me that it can handle dotclocks from 20MHz to 200MHz. I'd like to produce TV PAL signal with it (I have a VGA = SCART converter), but that would involve dotclock of 15MHz. Can I force virge to work at such dotclock? I don't think you can with options, but I it should be possible by modifying the source. I don't think the 20MHz lower limit is directly tied to the hardware limitations, so getting a lower limit should be possible, but I haven't looked at that area in a while.

Re: [Xpert]S3 Trio 3d
No, I don't believe the Trio3d hardware supports anything above 24 bit color.

Hmm, that's a rather cut down version of the log. Do you have a fully
copy posted somewhere we can download it?
Also, what version of xfree86 is this and what distro?
You might have better results with version 1.8.2 from
http://www.user1.netcarrier.com/~kbrosius/pages/virge.html . But I'm
not sure without knowing what you are running already.
At which point it hangs, unkillable by anything but SIGKILL.
(The screen stays black and switching back to a vt with chvt(1)
doesn't give any visible results).
Stracing the process gives an infinite loop of:
read(5, , 4) = 0
select(1024, [5], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 1 (in [5], left {0, 0})
(fd 5 is /dev/null)
The full log should show the mouse problem you mention in your second
email. Although unless AllowMouseOpenFail is set, it should not hang.
Normally a mouse failure will return you cleanly to the console assuming
you are not using xdm. How are you starting X?
Even with the vesa driver I cannot get anything displayed.
Here is the lspci output:

Just everything went fine until I came to configuring XFree86. It was even impossible for me to startup the graphical configuration system. Every time I launched X it told me I have a S3 card but XF86 can't recognize the CARD ID (i.e. unsupported card). When I later installed XP Home again :( I can see in Windows that the card is referred to as S3 Graphics Twister K Compaq. A few days ago I have to call the Compaq support, as my laptop used to overheat and turn off after some hours of work (less than 5). I referred my problem to him - without expecting any proper answer ;) - about the missing driver for XF86 for the S3 Card/Chip. This guy was funnily enough amused by my problem as the specs showed him, that they do not deliver S3 cards with their evo n115 laptops. The specs says I (uu-huuh) have a VIA ProSavage KN133. Does anybody know what shall I do to get my S3 Graphics Twister K Compaq card to work in XF86? VIA bought S3 some time ago, explaining the name discrepancy. Relevant information for figuring out why it isn't identified would be: - The version of XFree86 (and the version of your distribution) - The PCI ID of the card. (/sbin/lspci -v will give you that.) The current Savage driver lists a large number of PCI ID's for various cards, but it would not be inconceivable that what you have is a special version for Compaq with yet a differen PCI ID... such things are known to happen. (You might also want to try checking if the savage driver is explicitely listed in your XF86Config-4 as a simple first step; if not, listing it could conceivably help.)

Re: [Xpert]Savage4/IX and LCD backlight
Laurent Pinchart wrote: As far as I know, when you blank the screen (i.e. Screensaver), the backlight should switch off. That certainly happens with my embedded systems, but I use a VGA - LCD interface attached to the screen. I might have not expressed myself clearly enough. The LCD screen I use is not a monitor with a VGA interface, but a Toshiba TFT screen with a 18-bit data bus, a few control signals, and a backlight power supply (+/- 1500V). The backlight power supply is connected to an 'inverter' which produces the necessary power voltage from a 12V power supply. The inverter has 2 control signals, one is used to switch the backlight on or off, and the other one is used to control the contrast (0V - minimal contrast, 5V - maximal contrast). The Savage4/IX has a 50-pin connector LCD interface. One of the pins is called ENABLK, and is not connected to the LCD data bus, so I assumed that it can be used to turn the backlight on or off. What I need is to know how to control the ENABLK signal. The Savage4/IX driver code doesn't seem to handle that, so I'm looking for the chipset specifications. s3 specs are still available through s3 graphics (http://www.s3graphics.com) for some chipsets, although you generally have to sign an NDA. You may get a faster response calling them if you are doing this for business.

It still blanks the screen, but doesn't go standby or off. I finally realized it seems to be losing the vt/X graphics screen state, because if I switch to a console, it will still do full powersave. It's not supposed to do that is it? I thought it would use console blanking when the Xserver is switched away, and use full DPMS when the Xserver is switched in. Restarting the server makes it screen save normally until some later time 8,6, 24 hours.

I checked /proc here, and /proc/pci does change when I modify the BIOS 'assign IRQ to VGA' setting by adding a IRQ number to the end of the device line (like this example, from a laptop): Bus 0, device 8, function 0: VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation [MagicMedia 256AV] (rev 32).

I'm curious as to what others think and/or experience... I recall a typo in the 3Dlabs driver a long time ago that was doing outb to a register that messed with the clock. I don't remember which. You might look for portIO happening on non vga registers (ie, something outside of the 0x3cX range). That was in the 3.3.x days - a LONG time ago. Alan. This is the first time I've heard anything like this recently. How do you notice the clock shift? (Meaning, how do I try and repeat your problem.) I have a AMD based system here, running with a ViRGE DX. It's been up for a couple days, and the clock is currently ahead of the time standard I set it from by a couple minutes.

You would call it again at a later time if for some reason the window has been obscured and you need to bring the window back to the top.

Very much ^^; Thanks, Matt You don't need a host.def if you haven't changed anything... Sounds like a build problem. How did you get your sources? What setup did you do? Did you do a 'make World World.log' and then a 'make install' (as root) from the 'xc' directory? (Are there any failures in the 'make World'? search for '***' in your World.log.) -- Kevin ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

What the heck is 'binutils 2.11.2'? I don't see any mention of it on ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/, which is hjl's distro location as far as I can tell. Plus it looks like 2.11 is still beta... Also, your log indicates the compile didn't detect the version, or maybe detected it incorrectly: Building on Linux 2.4.12 i686 [ELF] (2.4.12). Linux Distribution: Unknown libc version: 6.2.4 binutils version: 3.1 (Unless 3.1 really is the reporting version for binutils 2.11.x) Maybe you should try the build with an older stable version of binutils. You may also be able to add the binutils version to host.def to force it to think it has a sane version (which may or may not actually improve things.): ie: #define LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion 26 (Read all about it in xf86site.def.) -- Kevin ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Matthew Reppert wrote: Kevin Brosius wrote: Are there modules in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules? And does the bitmap module exist there? (It's normally down a level, fonts/libbitmap.a.) Yes, it's there. Okay ... this is GNU binutils. Since I've seen people have been compiling with gcc under linux, I didn't think twice about my GNU binutils, but I'm using the most recent release of them, 2.11.2. Think that's the problem? (I should've made that clearer, prolly ... ) Matt Might be... If you built your own ld, did you use the same binutils? Or maybe it's an incompatibilty between those binutils and the XFree86 module loader (which seems likely since you can't load modules.) You could build a static server (no external modules), although that's just a workaround if you want to find out what's wrong. binutils 2.10.0.33-13 works here (that's a SuSE Linux version). And gcc 2.95.3 is considered stable, so I wouldn't worry about that. -- Kevin ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert]XVideo extensions for S3 Virge/MX
Sven Menke wrote: Hi, please find attached a patch for s3v_xv.c which enables XVideo extensions for Virge/MX. The patch is relative to XFree 4.1.0 and in contrast to an earlier posting (http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-January/004869.html) this new version also restores the normal X screen upon termination of the XVideo mode. Cheers, Sven Hi Sven, I've applied your patch locally, and am making a test driver available for others to try. If anyone wants to grab it go to http://www.user1.netcarrier.com/~kbrosius/pages/virge.html and get the 1.6.13 version for XFree86 4.1.0. If you try it, I'd appreciate a note on how it works for you. This version also supports an option to disable XVideo, so if you have trouble just add Option noxvideo to your Device section in XF86Config. -- Kevin ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert]XVideo extensions for S3 Virge/MX
Sven Menke wrote: Hi Kevin, If you still have troubles closing the XVideo screen on termination of the XVideo mode with chip-sets other than Virge/MX it might be worth trying the same register I used for the Virge/MX: OUTREG(SSTREAM_WINDOW_SIZE_REG, 0); in the S3VStopVideo function. Since I have a Virge/MX card only, I can't test this ... I'll give it a shot on the GX2, where I had similar problems (although I don't recall if that was the only trouble.) Cheers, Sven P.S.
