keyboard autorepeat gone
Today I compiled and installed the current state of development X.org. (no cvs, all of xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual) The few bugs I noticed so far .. Nothing that has to do with lbx compiled, is Low Bandwidth X obsolete now? xorg-server-1.6.99.900 + xf86-video-ati-6.12.4 mbuf.c:45:39: error: X11/extensions/multibufst.h: No such file or directory (xextproto-7.1.1 was installed) The last version of xextproto which included multibufst.h was xextproto-7.0.5. I believe to remember some header files changed names, so this should be easy to fix. Not using --enable-multibuffer helped as a start. The X-server is up and running fine but keyboard autorepeat does not work any more. (xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.99.1 ?) Any hints ?

getting XI error codes - implicit declaration issue
Hi there, there seems to be a little issue with the way one registers for XInput error codes: if i'm not totally wrong, these are defined nowhere, but dynamically generated and one has to get the actual values via macros like BadDevice(). But: (at least with git master xorg) this one evaluates to _xibaddevice(), defined in libXi/src/XExtInt.c, which in turn seems to be a private symbol in libxi, as i get 'implicit declaration of function _xibaddevice' warnings while compiling my app. while it seems to work okay, shouldn the _xibaddevice declaration made public or the macro be turned into a function? cheers, christian -- what is, is; what is not is possible. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

I could not get it to work with the Radeon driver, but the proprietary NVIDIA driver had an option to force-feed the driver with custom EDID data from a file, instead of DDC, so I could use the monitor with NVIDIA. However, I wanted the Radeon driver, so I have added the same option to the radeon driver. It works for me; if you consider this useful, please add to the official branch. * * * Here is how I use it: 1. Connect the monitor to the PC using VGA 2. get-edid /root/Samsung_214T.edid 3. add to xorg.conf: Option CustomEDID DVI-0:/root/Samsung_214T.edid 4. Connect the monitor to the PC using DVI 5. Restart X ... and it work.s As far as I can tell, there is no other way to make this monitor work with this driver, so this is very important to me; however, I am not sure how many people are blessed with such broken hardware, so I can not estimate the real importance of the problem. * * * Please let me know what do you think! Great patch! thanks for doing this. I've made some small improvements to it. Please test this patch and let me know and I'll go ahead and commit it. /me wonders if this could be in the server at all. Should be pretty easy to just pull RADEONGetHardCodedEDIDFromFile() into the xserver. Wouldn't even need to match the output name since it would be per-monitor section. Alex Dave.

Would SLI speed-up Xinerama?
Hello List! I currently use a triple-head setup with 2 nvidia-cards: - onboard nvidia 7xxx - pci-e nvidia 7xxx dual-head - Athlon X2 2.7GHz - 3 Screens at 1200x1600 (rotated. the rotation does not decrease the performance significantly) - Ubuntu Karmic, NVIDIA driver The performance (just 2D desktop performance, no 3D or compiz) is ok, but every time i use my Laptops (which are single-screen naturally) i wish my Desktop performance were that great. The Xinerama setup is just not that snappy. There is a small lag with everything. Menu's appearing, Moving Windows, general responsiveness. Would a SLI System (SLI board + 2 SLI cards i guess) improve this situation?

Re: generic touchscreen calibration
Hi, 2009/9/10 Tias t...@ulyssis.org: In the end, I had to hack up the ancient tkxinput because it was the only device independent calibrator (it uses Xinput to read the coordinates). On the other hand, I was impressed by the simplicity of the calibrator that Soren Hauberg sent to this list in july (thread titled 'Evdev touchscreen calibration?'), although it was written for usbtouchscreen driven devices specifically. I figured that a generic calibration program should be device independent when reading calibration data, and device dependent in how to use the data. I've adapted Soren's calibrator to do exactly this: it reads the current calibration from Xinput. When the usbtouchscreen driver is used, it dynamically changes the calibration. Otherwise it prints the new calibration data in xorg.conf format on stdout. Other actions would be possible too, like rewriting the xorg.conf directly, maybe even use some new evdev/Xinput2 goodness ? It's been quite a while since I was working on this (I changed job, so I never got to finish this), so my comments might not actually be true. First, I'd like to add that I'm glad you're spending time on resurecting my old code. Thanks :-) Second, part of this code was added before the 'evdev' X11 driver got support for touchscreens. This driver allows you to set the calibration parameters at run-time without making changes to xorg.conf (hence no restart of X). I think the calibration tool should use this instead of working with xorg.conf. Third, the code that interacts with the 'usbtouchscreen' kernel module should probably be dropped. It's tied too much to some specific hardware. Since the parameters can just be handled by the 'evdev' X11 driver, I don't think kernel interaction is needed anymore. Let me know if you need anything from me, Søren ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

The OP is using three monitors and two video cards so TwinView is not an option. I have a dual monitor single card nvidia setup that I currently use with xinerama since TwinView does not support per-monitor LUTs (IE. TwinView is not suitable for color critical work) and I have not noticed any performance issues with xinerama vs. TwinView. What is missing with xinerama is the ability to dynamically resize the displays. On 09/11/09 11:19 AM, Sascha wrote: Hello List!

frustrating.
does anybody know if there will be a way in a future to restrict mouse

cheers,

until it is solved i'm going to live with this:
difference_in_vertical_resolutions=132; x_resolution=1024; while sleep
0.4; do xwarppointer get | ( read x y; if [ $x -lt ${x_resolution} -a
$y -lt ${difference_in_vertical_resolutions} ]; then xwarppointer
abspos $x ${difference_in_vertical_resolutions}; fi); done
it takes some cpu power + does not accurately mimic windows xp
behaviour but still better than nothing..
