Re: Accelerated DGA with i810 ?

2003-02-26 Thread Max Zaitsev 
 I've just committed a fix for this.  The driver was incorrectly testing
 for acceleration being enabled when the DGA capabilities get initialised.

That's great news! Thanks for that. Do I have to compile the whole CVS tree or  
there is a way to patch the i810 driver for 4.2.0?

Cheerz,
Max

The 4.2.0 i810 driver doesn't even support the 845G, so I'm not sure
what you mean.  I'm assuming you're using the CVS version, and that's
where the fix is.  If you're not using the CVS version, then you can
probably find the patch via cvsweb.xfree86.org.

Re: Accelerated DGA with i810 (works now!)

2003-02-26 Thread Max Zaitsev 
Hi!

first good news: it works! At least vmware does not complain and scrolling is 
indeed fast. However, I've just started the new X for the first time and did 
not do much testing. Shall I expect some bugs/issues to appear or RC2 is 
already reasonably clean?

 The 4.2.0 i810 driver doesn't even support the 845G, so I'm not sure
 what you mean.

Nope, I was using 4.2.0 from SuSE, which was capable to work with my 845G 
(probably suse 4.2.0 is patched or whatever), but I've also tried one of the 
binary releases of 4.2.99.

 I'm assuming you're using the CVS version, and that's
 where the fix is.  If you're not using the CVS version, then you can
 probably find the patch via cvsweb.xfree86.org.

I did the complete cvs pull and compiled everything from scratch. Took a while 
:-)

Best regards,
Max

Re: Accelerated DGA with i810 ?

2003-02-25 Thread Max Zaitsev 
Hi List,

me again. Just wondering is there anybody around who could point me in the 
right direction? I'm suffering from 82845G/GL chipset and suffering badly. I 
do will to make experiment, compile experimental drivers, participate in 
debugging, etc., but I need some guidance, at least at the start. I'm quite 
fit with C/C++ programming, but have a little experience with both X and 
device driver development, so I cannot (re)write the i810 driver myself, 
sorry. Is there anybody who is in charge of i810 driver development, who 
could give me a hint on what's wrong and where to start?

Regards,
Max

 What hardware are you using (the i810 driver handles a range of chipsets),
 and which version of vmware to you have?  Finally, how is vmware informing
 you that there is no acceleration in DGA mode?

 Hi Devel-List,
 
 I have already posted the same question on XFree list but received no
  answer and re-posting the original message here in hope to find some
  DGA-experts or the i810 maintainer(s).
 
 The problem is that I need vmware in full-screen mode badly and
 go-and-by-another-card is not an option -- that's the office PC with
 on-board adapter and I'll have difficulties explaining to my boss why
  would I need the second graphic card.
 
 Any help is appreciated.

 Hi List.
 
 I'm having troubles with vmware, which claims it cannot detect any
 acceleration in DGA mode, which is needed for full-screen operation. As a
 result, the full-screen mode is awfully slow... I'm currently using XFree
 4.2.0, but I've also tried 4.2.99 snapshot.
 
 My questions are:
 
 1. Is it XFree or i810 driver problem, or is it vmware, which fails to
  detect acceleration, when actually it's there?
 
 2. Are there tools/code examples which would test DGA capabilities?
 
 3. If there is no acceleration for DGA in the official i810 driver
 implementation are there any unofficial drivers around in the net which
  would have that support?
