I recently had very negative experiences with the stock SiS driver on a 661FX that his driver solved immediately. Now I realized it may have solved just this one problem but it seems as the one on his site gets more attention. I know Thomas has submitted other fixes into the tree, and may even be the SiS maintainer. I am, and the current SiS driver (well, more or less) is in CVS (since I have write access).

Re: A error when compiling XFree864.2 on SELS 8.2 on AMD64 system

Also, I have ever tried the latest code of XFree864.2 but failed to achieve. Meanwhile, I searched for it in google but the way taught in such articles dosenot work. Finally , the version of gcc is 3.3 Can anybody be kind to give some ideas for it? Even if you fix the build problem above, your going to run into trouble, as the 4.2 code doesn't have support for the x86_64 architecture of the AMD64. I guess it may work in it's 32bit mode though, but not having an AMD64 platform - I really don't know. Alan. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

This was with RC2 that I had the problems, and your driver dated 2004-02-11 from your website fixed the problem (with one small Imake change). Would you like more details or are you on top of this?

Radeon XvMc support
Hi Does anyone know (or have some contacts at ATI that knows) what the current status of XvMc hardware support for radeon cards is? I'm using a fanless EPIA 5000 with fanless Radeon 9200SE PCI and really need this for smooth dvd playback. Thanks in advanced! -Andreas ps.

Re: XOpenDisplay for new X Windows Programmer.
First question: Am I in the right place. I am trying to write a
simple X Window program but XFee86 seems to focus on video cards or
chips. So, if I'm not in the right place please tell me where to go but
not like my wife does.
Probably not the right place. I'm not sure but perhaps some newsgroup
like linux.dev.X11 or comp.programming.X (not sure about this one).
If this is the place, I am starting into X Window programming and I
can't even get the simplest program to run. It compiles and links fine
but always fails to make the connection to the display manager. I have
spent 2 days pouring over the internet and trying all sorts of stuff but
nothing has worked.
Don't hardcode in the string to XOpenDisplay(). Pass a NULL, and it
will use value of DISPLAY environment. I think it is probably trying
to specifically connection to port 6000 on localhost, which on your system
X may not be listening.
Your program doesn't try to create any windows.
Here is a skeleton that I use to start all my test programs:
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include X11/Xatom.h
#include stdio.h
void main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Display *display;
Window my_window;
int screen;
XEvent event;
display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
if (display == NULL)
{
printf(error opening display\n);
exit(0);
}
screen = DefaultScreen(display);
XSynchronize(display, 1);
my_window =
XCreateSimpleWindow(display,
RootWindow(display,screen),
100,100,
100,100,
10,
BlackPixel(display,screen),
WhitePixel(display,screen));
XSelectInput(display, my_window, 0x);
XMapWindow(display,my_window);
XFlush(display);
while (1)
{
XNextEvent(display,event);
printf(Event recieved is %d\n,event.type);
}
}
