From this memory mapped I tried to read a single byte from the device and also the word but of no use. I get only 0xFF. My first aim is to get the Green Light(LED) on the monitor to glow. How to get that thing. To explain to you every step that's required to make this happen would exceed the what I can provide to you here considering my limited time. There is a fully functional driver for this chipset in XFree86. Why don't you have a look there? It performs every step required to make happen what you want.

Re: Touchscreen input driver
Bodo Bimboese wrote: Hello All, Please apologize if this request is wrongly placed. I'm not familiar with programming, just a keen user. I'd be thankful, if anybody could point me into the right direction. I'm using X (4.3.0) on Linux, and I'm struggling to get a touchscreen (-input) device to work. It's not one of those popular manufacturers whose driver is included with 4.3.0 Things I've found out yet: manufacturer of the 12 TFT monitor with touchscreen is a no-name Asia-based. The interface is RS-232 with 9-pin serial connector and a PS/2 dongle-style plug (the mouse plugs into the back of this plug). Touchpanel manufacturer is a company called Hantouch Serial driver PCB manufacturer is a company called Sena (both companies offer downloads, but I didn't found any for X) The monitor is marketed under the label Glancetron in Europe (They only offer Win drivers unfortunately) Since I haven't found any *nix drivers on the net, I've tested all input drivers which came with X. None of the touchscreen drivers work, some cause X to abort. The only reaction I get is from the DigitalEdge tablet driver, which causes a 'click' in the bottom right corner of the screen, no matter on which area I touch it. My question is: Would it be an easy task to modify an existing driver to get the touch element to work? I've had a look at the Elotouch driver sources, and it doesn't look huge. I have no idea about programming, but I'm motivated to take the challenge. Sure, but you need to know what the incoming packets look like. Have you dropped a line to Hantouch? If you have, and they're unwilling to help, you probably can track RS-232 communications between the touchscreen and the Windows driver... Good luck! -- .:. Bryan W.

We could guess 16 byte is sufficient. But even if we got the alignment requirement right how do we specify the alignment requirement to the compiler in a portable way such that it will build on a variety of systems and compilers? My understanding is that compiler alignment directives are not portable (e.g. not part of ANSI C). Are we comfortable picking one or two common alignment directives and conditionally compiling with the right one? Since we already have a jmp_buf which is much larger than necisarry, all that is needed is to take the first offset into it which is properly aligned for the given architecture and use that as the system jmp_buf. when the compiler can guarentee the proper alignment this becomes a 'nop', otherwise we waste at most alignment - sizeof(intmax_t) - 1 bytes. not a big deal. best of all, this can be implemented portably quite easily. The attached patch is one way this could be done. I've set the alignment higher than it probably needs to be.

It's not my script. I actually rewrote the provided script in csh so I could understand it. In order to get video output to your external port, you'll need to use the hotkey (it's Fn-F8 on my Dell Latitude). You must do this in text mode, not graphics mode.

It sounds like you're trying to run the CRT and LCD panel simultaneously. I'm not sure if you'll be able to do that. You should try configuring the external display with video directed only to the CRT, not the LCD panel display. The problem is that your panel and CRT use very specific sync rates which are most likely not the same. Are you using NVidia's latest driver?

Alex -- Hi, ( excuse my english pls) I have a S3 prosavage DDR, with no 3D acceleration by now, my question is: In the new vertion of xfree (4.4 i think ) is going to be 3D support for this card ??? Is going to be 3D support for 4.3 ??? I had see some fixed in the driver from cvs snapshot but i`m not sure if thats mean that the new driver with 3D support is ready.

[XFree86] widescreen 1680x1050 resolution
I have an Apple Cinema 20 display running on windows. I tried installing RedHat Linux 8.0, got the newest drivers from NVIDIA. The screen's optimal resolution is 1680x1050 but right now, it does a stretched 1280x1024. In the XFree86Config file, the graphics card still has a driver of vesa, chanigng it to nv causes the display to not work at all. any thoughts on how I can tweak XFree86 to accept this resolution? thanks help greatly appreciated amerson Amerson H.

[XFree86] Re: THX
Your graphics card and monitor must be able to support those modes. Also, the video card probably uses different rates (vertical refresh and horizontal sync) for each mode. You really should try to upgrade the driver and use XFree86 to configure your X for you. But again, if you want to risk it, you can try setting your Modes line to: Modes 640x480 800x600 1024x768 and use the Ctrl-Alt-Num+ (The plus key on the numeric keypad - you must have the NumLock set) to tab through the different modes. Try with 16 bit first and then 24. ATTEMPTING TO SET THESE VALUES BY HAND MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR MONITOR - which is why I recommend upgrading your driver and using XFree86 to configure X.

NVIDIA's binary Linux drivers probably work better in this regards, since there is a kernel module there. I can live without hotkeying. My Problem is the never working CRT in X. Maybe I have a problem in understanding the XF86Config: I define my LCD in a monitor section I define my CRT in a 2nd monitor section I define my Chipset in a device section I define how to use the monitors connected to the device in a screen section (both monitors in one section? maybe, because they must use same color depth. On the other hand XFree claims about trying to use the device twice, if I define two screen sections) Now to enable them: The 'man XF86Config' in 'DEVICE SECTION' says: Screen number This option is mandatory for cards where a single PCI entity can drive more than one display (i.e., multiple CRTCs sharing a sin- gle graphics accelerator and video memory). One Device section is required for each head, and this parameter determines which head each of the Device sections applies to. The legal values of number range from 0 to one less than the total number of heads per entity. Most drivers require that the primary screen (0) be present. Looks good, this seems to be my case. That is not your case, you are only using one display. You should not have a Screen number in the device section. I played a bit around with: Option CrtcNumber 0 Option FlatPanel 0 and modified the parameters, but I had no luck with it. Is there any documentation? The man page says nothing about this. Those are in the man page. Perhaps your man pages aren't up to date. You are using 4.3.0 right? In the simplest case you just take a working config that uses the flat panel and add those options. CrtcNumber specifies which output to use. I think 1 ends up being the panel and 0 is the external connector on most laptops. Setting FlatPanel to 0 tells it to ignore that it sees a flat panel connected and to treat it like a CRT. Mark. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Get used to incompatibility problems if you insist on installing the latest security patches. I've worked with government facilities with this paranoid delusion and they consistently break simple things such as regular expression matching. I think Mark has so more productive comments on your situation, although using nvidia's latest driver is preferable. Maybe you can submit a bug to nvidia. Good luck. Are you using NVidia's latest driver? I use XFree's driver. NVidia's driver fails to install after installing a kernel security patch from suse.

I'm not the expert (as Mark will atest to), but I think you should put the 1680x1050 first in your Display SubSection. I think you can put them on the same line.

The install process is better than previous versions, although you'll still have to install the new nvidia driver and customize your XF86Config file as Mark instructed.

The screen's optimal resolution is 1680x1050 but right now, it does a stretched 1280x1024. In the XFree86Config file, the graphics card still has a driver of vesa, chanigng it to nv causes the display to not work at all. The nv driver didn't support flat panels until XFree86 4.3.0, and the vesa driver can only do canned standard modes. I think RH 8 only has 4.2.0 or 4.2.1. any thoughts on how I can tweak XFree86 to accept this resolution? You either need to upgrade to 4.3.0 (or newer) where the nv driver will support flat panels, or you should use NVIDIA's binary drivers. For either you'll need to specify a custom modeline like: Modeline 1680x1050 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 since XFree86 doesn't have any builtin 1680x1050 modes.

Well, the modifier that it sees is Alt_L. You want it to see Mode_shift.
You can cause this to happen by putting this into your .Xmodmap file:
keysym Alt_L = Mode_switch
Then run `xmodmap .Xmodmap` and the left alt key should generate
Mode_switch and you can get your characters.
OK, Thanks. You have rights. Everty thing is perfect.
Great! Glad to hear that it works.
Just to be a little less dummy, Is there a way to say to X keyboard
that Alt_L = Mode_switch in the configuration file. In other words
where are the modifiers defined ? in one file or in several files ?
I assume that you mean in the system Xkb configuration files. On Debian,
they're in /etc/X11/xkb/, but I think the default is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.
Under symbols, there are the files that define how X maps keycodes to
keysyms. In these files, you'll see lines like this:
key RALT {[ Mode_switch, Multi_key ] };
They define how to get Mode_switch.
