Endianity problems in XFree86-4 XAA on MipsEB
We have a MipsEB machine and a video card which has a 2D BitBLT engine.
It looks like we found a problem in XAA when we tried to use our hardware
8x8 Mono Pattern Fills. The problem appears when an application uses
pixmaps.
Stipple and tile with the same pixmap are drawing in the different ways
(bytes in video memory are swapped). We looked through the XAA source tree
and found a dubious code in xaaPCache.c.
In two words... XAA tries to check that a pixmap (stipple/tile) can be
reduced
to a 8x8 mono pattern, and if so, puts this stipple/tile to two dwords
(patterns0,1)
and passes it to hw driver. And it looks like the stipple code works
fine, but there
is an endianity problem in the tile case... or maybe vise versa, but
in any case
patterns are maked up in different ways for BE.
Bool
XAACheckStippleReducibility(PixmapPtr pPixmap)
{
...
pPriv-pattern0 = bits[0] | SHIFT_L(bits[1],8) | SHIFT_L(bits[2],16) |
SHIFT_L(bits[3],24);
pPriv-pattern1 = bits[4] | SHIFT_L(bits[5],8) | SHIFT_L(bits[6],16) |
SHIFT_L(bits[7],24);
...
}
where SHIFT_L(value, shift) is defined as ((value) (shift)) for Big
Endian.
Bool
XAACheckTileReducibility(PixmapPtr pPixmap, Bool checkMono)
{
...
pPriv-pattern0 = bits[0] | (bits[1]8) | (bits[2]16) | (bits[3]24);
pPriv-pattern1 = bits[4] | (bits[5]8) | (bits[6]16) | (bits[7]24);
...
}
In both cases the unsigned int bits[] array contains bytes! with the
bitmask to be
passed to a driver via pPriv-pattern0, pPriv-pattern1.
When we tried to use the fbdev driver which is not using XAA, the problem
is gone.
Did anybody see something similar on Big Endian machines?

repeated X restarts with i810 not freeing sys resources?
I'm running XFree86-4.2.99.901 on a 2.4.20-2.34 kernel on a Dell GX60 with intel extreme graphics (i810 driver). If I repeatedly kill and restart X, the system eventually slows to a crawl before hanging. Here's what seems to be going on... If I run top on the machine and observe the amount of memory in use, it appears that each time I kill and restart X, an additional ~16MB of RAM is consumed. This particular system has 128MB RAM, so the system lock up seems to correspond to the consumption of all physical RAM. (kernel + base system + ~16MB fb x 15 restarts = ~128MB RAM). Apparently, after many restarts, the X server eventually tries to grab a block of RAM to serve as the video buffer, and gets a chunk of swap. When that happens, the system is hosed, presumably because disk swap is orders of magnitude too slow for video operations. I'm guessing, but this seems to be what's going on. This is consistent with the fact that I don't see any daemons or system processes consuming any significant amounts of memory yet top eventually shows all physical RAM consumed. Consistent with the approximate number of restarts, and consistent with the fact that the integrated i810 design uses system RAM for the framebuffer contents. Is it possible that the kernel, drm or X isn't freeing the framebuffer RAM after each restart or kill of X? Since my last email, I've tried a newer version of the kernel and X, and still see the same behavior with 2.4.20-2.34 and XFree86-4.2.99.9. System is running RH8 with rawhide binaries. Appreciate any suggestions or comments anyone has. thanks, -pat ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
RE: repeated X restarts with i810 not freeing sys resources?
If this is in fact happening it seems to point to a problem in agpgart. X is just a user-space client of agpgart so when X is killed the agpgart driver should get a close() from the filehandle and therefore free all the resources allocated to that client. Just as the kernel frees up whatever you forget to free() after a malloc() when you exit. -Matt -Original Message- From: patrick charles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 12:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: repeated X restarts with i810 not freeing sys resources?

X evdev input patches, and a problem.
The good news is that I have basic patches, that support just about everything. The keyboard support at this point has two problems, the first is that there is no support for the bell, that is mostly because the bell is a separate event device. I consider this to be a rather minor problem. The second is /much/ bigger. I don't see any way to tell the kernel that the keyboard events should not also be sent to through the console layer, which means, for instance, that hitting alt-F1 on the USB keyboard both gives the event to X, and then switches the console. Without that piece, things are not overly usable, and I'm not sure how to fix the problem.

[Fonts] A serious problem about freetype module
Hi, There is a serious problem about freetype module in XFree86-4.2.99.901. If 18-pixels of kochi-mincho.ttf (a famous Japanese font) is selected using xfontsel with jisx0208.1983, the X server crashes. I investigated this problem a little. This crash does not occur when displaying embedded bitmap of kochi-mincho.ttf. When the size of the font is 18 pixels or over, X crashes. Furthermore, according to my investigation, this crash occurs with the following code of ftfuncs.c. ftrc = FT_Load_Glyph(instance-face-face, idx, FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME); This function seems not to be used in the old freetype module and xtt module. This problem does not occurs in the old freetype module, and xtt module. kochi-mincho.ttf is acquirable from the following. http://www.a.phys.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~cyamauch/kochi-mincho.ttf.gz And the fonts.dir is here. kochi-mincho.ttf -kochi-mincho-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0 First, please confirm this problem.

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
Is your mouse a usb device? If not, perhaps try /dev/psaux instead of /dev/input/mice. You should try dpkg-reconfigure too. It may give you configure options for the keyboard that you haven't though of yet. Once you have a XF86Config-4 that works, then edit it by hand for whatever tuning and adjustments you want. You can use dpkg-reconfigure to change between gdm, kdm, and xdm, as well, by just putting one of them as the object of the command (I couldn't figure out earlier if you wanted to change login managers, or simply disable them entirely). If that doesn't work, have you posted your XF86Config-4 file yet? And it is only the keyboard and mouse that are causing you problems?

[XFree86] Configuring for XFree86
Attached are some files pertaining to my trying to bring up XFree86 on my PC system. My video card is AOpen PG 128 plus with 4 MB but I picked a generic VGA board to describe the video board; as I recall AOpen PG 128 used to be one of the video boards listed (probably in FreeBSD 3.3 , 4.1 , and/or 4.3 ), but I didn't see it listed this time (in FreeBSD 4.7 ). Is AOpen PG 128 close enough to AOpen PG 128 plus for me to use it to describe the video board correctly? There should be a program like uname for the video board so that you can get a proper description of it. Also, I don't think choices should be removed from the list. My terminal is a 'HYUNDAI HCM-433E ULTRA VGA' and it isn't on the monitor list, though there is another HYUNDAI there. I do occasionally get my screen switching to having long thin rectangles (with wavy edges) going from the top to the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the original screen comes back and I can continue working, sometimes it doesn't. I have some suspicions about this, but they are too long to write. When I installed FreeBSD 4.3 , I couldn't configure X so I copied the one I managed to create for FreeBSD 4.1 into my FreeBSD 4.3 slice. (I don't update an installation, I create a new one in an unused slice.) I did the same for FreeBSD 4.7 when I could't configure X . I would like to resolve this problem also. When trying to configure the keyboard, the top 4 choices (of the 25 ) disappeared off the top of the screen and I have no idea what they were. This should be corrected. My keyboard is an Acer , so I just picked a generic US model (choice 5 seemed to fit). I would like to have some new features in XFree86 , with whom can I discuss them? Where can I get documentation on XFree86 , maybe some features I want are already in it? _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Rules = xfree86 Model = pc101 Layout = us MouseKeysCurve = 0 Section ServerLayout Identifier XFree86 Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection Section Files RgbPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb ModulePath /usr/X11R6/lib/modules FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ EndSection Section Module Load dbe Load dri Load extmod Load glx Load pex5 Load record Load xie Load xtrap Load speedo Load type1 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver keyboard Option XkbRules xfree86 Option XkbModel pc101 Option XkbLayout us EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol MouseSystems Option Device /dev/sysmouse EndSection Section Monitor Identifier Monitor0 VendorName Monitor Vendor ModelNameMonitor Model HorizSync31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 EndSection Section Device ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: i: integer, f: float, bool: True/False, ### string: String, freq: f Hz/kHz/MHz ### [arg]: arg optional #Option slow_edodram # [bool] #Option slow_dram # [bool] #Option fast_dram # [bool] #Option fpm_vram # [bool] #Option pci_burst # [bool] #Option fifo_conservative # [bool] #Option fifo_moderate # [bool] #Option fifo_aggressive # [bool] #Option pci_retry # [bool] #Option NoAccel # [bool] #Option early_ras_precharge # [bool] #Option late_ras_precharge # [bool] #Option lcd_center # [bool] #Option set_lcdclk # i #Option set_mclk # freq #Option set_refclk # freq #Option show_cache # [bool] #Option HWCursor # [bool] #Option SWCursor # [bool] #Option ShadowFB # [bool] #Option Rotate # [str] #Option UseFB # [bool] #Option mxcr3afix # [bool] #Option XVideo # [bool] Identifier Card0 Driver vga VendorName S3 BoardName Trio3D/2X ChipSet generic BusID PCI:1:0:0 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 MonitorMonitor0 SubSection Display Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection Display Depth 4

[XFree86] Unable to set vertical refresh rate correctly
Hi, I'm trying to setup Xfree86 4.2.1 for use with my Elements 9D monitor and a GeForce2MX 200 graphics card. It is currently working fine with the nvidia driver. The problem is that X is setting my monitor to 75Hz at 1152x864. The monitor is capable of 100Hz at that resolution, and that's what I'm running at under Windows. I've tried running X -configure but that doesn't do anything special with regard to my monitor. I've also played with xvidtune, secifically adjusting the width and height in order to raise the refresh rate a bit. I havn't been able to make it operate above ~84Hz while still being able to compensate with the physical monitor controls. In other words, anything higher and I can no longer keep the picture at the right physical dimensions.

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
To get from a terminal to X, it's usually Alt-F7 (ttys 1-6 are commonly getty login instances). Also there is a program called 'su' which allows you to become the root user. You should check out debian's install documentation from their website. It will help you get accustomed to the basics of the system. Debian offers a ton of great documentation, on the web, and which you can download as .deb packages (use dselect, and go to the Optional/docs section).
