I've been busy with work and lately haven't been too motivated to work on it anyhow. I don't even work on X stuff at NVIDIA anymore. I saw changes coming to the X world that I didn't like and started moving away from it a while ago. I work on embedded stuff now.

Hi David,
This is a bug in xf86Elo.c (or a bug that I personaly fixed
in a local copy of that file).
The problem is that this driver reads exactly one packet from the
port every time the driver's ReadInput function is called, so if
the server revieves a third SIGIO before the input module has finished
posting events for the first packet, then we are exactly one packet
out of sync. It is possible for a mouse module to adapt the same
functionality without visible errors because mouse coordinates are
relative, but touchscreen coordinates are absolute.
My patch is significantly outdated, essentialy my fix is to loop
over serial packets untill no data is readable on the port instead
of assuming one packet (although I guess it may be more appropriate
to drop all packets except the last one on the port; to avoid possibly
useless spamming).
At a glance, this piece of code in current CVS:
(ReadInput method)
===
/*
* Try to get a packet.
*/
if (xf86EloGetPacket(priv->packet_buf,
&priv->packet_buf_p,
&priv->checksum,
local->fd) != Success) {
return;
}
===
Can be changed to:
===
while (xf86EloGetPacket(priv->packet_buf,
&priv->packet_buf_p,
&priv->checksum,
local->fd) == Success) {
/*
Code body
*/
===
Good luck!

elographics problem
I sent this to the general xfree86 mailing list but received no responses. I think there is a bug with the elographics driver: I'm using XFree86 Version 4.4.0 (with circa redhat6.2 libraries and linux kernel 2.6.4) with an ELO touchscreen (elo2300 I think). If I have a "real-time" high priority (SCHED_FIFO) task that periodically sucks a lot of CPU time, the ELO touch interface falls behind. Once it's behind, it stays behind, even if I kill the high priority task. It seems to have a queue of data that doesn't get serviced unless a new event happens. For example, say that during a period when the CPU is being hogged, I try to move the pointer in a big clockwise circle multiple times. Then I kill the CPU hog process. The pointer does not start moving to catch up when the CPU hog dies. It just sits there at its last location. If I wait 5 minutes and then touch the screen, the pointer starts moving in the circle that my finger followed 5 minutes earlier. When I stop touching the screen, the pointer stops. If I touch it again, it continues following my earlier finger motion. It seems to slowly catch up if I continue interacting with the screen. If I have a mouse in addition to the touchscreen, movement of the mouse also causes the pointer to service the events in the elo touchscreen queue and at a much faster rate. However, motion of the mouse during the time that the CPU is being hogged does not seem to fall behind the way the touchscreen does.

license statements in CVS commit messages
I notice many of the affected files do not bear the license notice mentioned in the checkin notice. Is that intentional? Will everyone investigating the license that applies to a file now have to check every CVS commit log entry for that file as well as the file itself to find out which license applies? -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering David Dawes wrote: CVSROOT:/home/x-cvs Module name:xc Changes by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/03/17 23:07:14 Log message: A second invocation of 'make' shouldn't change anything. -- These changes are Copyright (c) 2004 The XFree86 Project, Inc Rights as per version 1.1 of the XFree86 License (http://www.xfree86.org/legal/licenses.html).
