 I have an SGI 1600SW, and it makes a huge difference whether I run it

 convert everything to 60Hz, so YMMV.

I must admit that I've never tried below 60 Hz. What sort of

Hi Martin,

I wanted to go above 60Hz to sync the panel refresh rate with the
frame rate of the video source. With 25fps video, either 50Hz or 75Hz
panel refresh rate could make a difference.

But I don't really know, it just seems be smoother.

Cheers,

Re: Detecting Monitor mode from AutoConfig

On Mon, 6 Oct 2003, Kirk Haderlie wrote:

 Is there an interface available to enumerate the video modes supported by a
 monitor?  It would be nice to get this information for use in auto config.
 We have a dual head configuration with one monitor which supports up to 1024
 x 768 and the second up to 800 x 600.  The problem is that X tries to drive
 the second monitor at 1024 x 768.  If I configure XF86 manually I can get
 the first to run 1024 X 768 and the second in 800 x 600.  I want to
 customize the monitor sections of auto config.  I have already modified auto
 config to support multiply heads but now would like to implement custom
 monitor configurations.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

In principle the full DDC information is available from each monitor,
but in practice for most dual-head cards we don't kow how to ask for
the information about both heads.
If this is a laptop with a builtin screen and an external monitor socket, 
we don't even have a consensus as to whether the builtin screen has DDC
info.

Once the server has started, if you are *not* using Xinerama or similar
methods of making the displays appear as one, the DDC data is available as
a root window property; usually XFree86_DDC_EDID1_RAWDATA, which can be 
printed out with:
xprop -display $DISPLAY -root 0x XFree86_DDC_EDID1_RAWDATA

mulitple pointers

2003-10-07 Thread Grant Wallace
Hi,
Earlier this year there was a mail thread about
multiple pointers. I'm wondering if there is any new
information on this topic. 

We would like to have a collaborative desktop on a
display wall where multiple people can work
simultaneously. In particular it would be nice to have
multiple top level windows (one per cursor) where that
cusror's keyboard and mouse events are sent.

Earlier it was suggested that this should be handled
by the collaborative software. But in our case we'd
rather not write specific software, but rather let
people run their current applications unmodified on
the desktop.

Are there any extensions or suggestions on how to
develop a scenario like this?

Thanks,
Grant.

This doesn't really fit into the design philosophy of X11.
I don't know anything about the code at window focus level,
or the window management protocols, so the followinbg suggestion might 
not be smart:

IIRC X will happy support many non-core pointer devices;
so write a window manager which listens to all the non-core pointers
and does with them what you want.

 Martin.


I do get a significant improvement, and it gets very obvious with interlaced 
50 field/s video. If you look at anything that moves smoothly over a few
seconds, like the tickers at the bottom of news stations, scrolling credits
etc, everything gets much smoother when screen refresh and video are somewhat
synchronized. 48Hz makes PAL video nearly unwatchable.

Jumpstart on docs for doing cross-compile of XFree86

2003-10-07 Thread Burt Bicksler
Hi,

I need to do a cross-compile of XFree86 and need a jump start to either 
docs detailing how to configure correctly to do so, or some pointers on how 
the .cf files are correctly used.

I've read the BUILD document, xf86site.def, site.def, cross.def, etc. but 
it is not clear how to actually set things up to do the 
cross-compile.  I've edited cross.def to point to the cross-compile tools, 
headers, libs, etc.  I've changed site.def so that CrossCompile is 
defined.  I have the cross-compile environment building the Linux kernel 
and base system with no problems, but I need to create an XFree86 
implementation for the target platform.

Now what I'm ferreting out is where in the Xfree86 build process I set the 
cpu type so that the compiler will pick it up.  Also, any other tips or 
suggestions that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

This is a build for the AMD Alchemy MIPS32 CPU core.

If there is a document that I've missed somewhere that clearly addresses 
how to do the cross-compile builds then just point me in that direction.

Thanks,
Burt

[Fonts] Font alias Menu label still too small

2003-10-07 Thread Marcel . Stegehuis
I am running 1 Linux server with XFree86 4.3.0 with the XFontSystem and five
displays. Below the font.alias file. From a DEC VMS machine the Window manager
is run on the Linux system and programs are started on the different displays.

With xmon.1.5.6 I got several errors regarding the Menu-Medium font that
I solved using the font.alias file.

I still have a window label that is far to small. (6 pixels or so).

Is there anyone who has had the same problem and fixed it ?

Best regards,

Marcel Stegehuis

[XFree86] riesen downline weltweit

2003-10-07 Thread marketerman
 
eine weltweite downline aufbauen für nur einen euro einmalig besser geht es nicht.


Ein kleiner Tipp:
Was ist, wenn Du dich mehrmals einschreibst? Verwende dann jedes Mal einen anderen 
Usernamen, eine andere eMail Adresse, und anderen E-gold Account (weitere E-gold 
Accounts sind schnell eröffnet), dann sind es 2x oder 3x oder 4x
1 x = 1.638 $ / 2 x = 3.276$ / 3 x = 4.914 $ / 4 x = 6.552 $ !!

(oder trage Deine Familie ein). Bewerbe dann diese Links, bis Du überall 2 Mitglieder 
hast.


Du darfst Dich aber nicht in einer Kette nach unten eintragen, sonst füllt sich 
Deine Matrix nicht gleichmäßig. (W= Werbung)

http://basematrix.com/cgi-bin/b/c.cgi?id=moneygod


Ob Richtig oder Falsch, es müssen bei diesem Beispiel jeweils 5 neue Mitglieder 
geworben werden.



http://basematrix.com/cgi-bin/b/c.cgi?id=moneygod


Bei 4 eigenen Accounts müssen jeweils 5 Mitglieder geworben werden, damit es 
weitergeht.


Bei 3 eigenen Accounts müssen jeweils 4 Mitglieder geworben werden, damit es 
weitergeht.


Bei 2 eigenen Accounts müssen jeweils 3 Mitglieder geworben werden, damit es 
weitergeht.


Bei 1 eigenen Account müssen jeweils 2 Mitglieder geworben werden, damit es weitergeht.

  if there is similar code in RH9, or XFree86, and it's disabled, it seems my

Hm, gpm should not matter at all when you are under X.
gpm should close its connection to the mouse while X is active.

  
  i want to try your suggestion, and i poked around in mouse preferences 
  and settings for RH9, but don't find anything like auto for protocol choice.  
  could you be more explicit?

Use: Protocol auto 
instead of 
Protocol ImPS/2

in the input device section for your mouse.

[XFree86] problem installing NVIDIA card

2003-10-07 Thread Alexander Carôt
Hi to all !

I have huge problems installing my NVIDIA Gforce Go FX 5600 on my Sony VAIO
notebook - I´m using red hat 9.0.

I tried several things and downloaded the NVIDIA driver from their page -
but I can´t run a resolution higher than 800x600 - under Windows it´s working
perfectly fine.

Is anyone familiar with this setup (NVIDIA Go 5600 and Sony VAIO PCG-GRT785E
) ???

Thanks a lot in advance

If you are still seeing it maybe you could do a little 
investigation into its cause?

One thing you may want to try is setting
pI830-NeedRingBufferLow = TRUE
This isn't done for the i830 as it didn't seem to be necessary.

Yes, turning XAA off will work around the problem. The LpRing is

no. as i described above, this recipe was digged from mailing list

OpenBSD and this guy on NetBSD.

i mean

NoAccel = False:
- X11 lockups after the first switching to text console and back,
- X11 console shows trash while X11 reloads and eventually goes black,
- text consoles are dead and black too,

NoAccel = True:
- X11 console goes black after 1-5 of switching to text console and
back,
- text consoles are working normally.

check out my original post at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86m=106528615425180w=2
for both accelerated and non-accelerated logs.

in the non-accelerated log, group of repeated
PRB0_HEAD (0x) and PRB0_TAIL (0x000135a0) \
indicate ring buffer not flushed
shows number of switching to text console and back to X.

 When i run X, in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file appears:

 I think this is something related to that.
 
 Do you know how can i switch from an external screen to the lcd, and 
 vice versa (whithout rebooting :D)
 Also do you know if it is possible to use both at the same time? It 
 would be great for presentations, where the projector is plugged, but 
 you need to look the screen at the same time.

[XFree86] Mouse restrictions under dual-head config

2003-10-07 Thread Fredrik Tolf
Hi!

I recently configured my dual-head card (radeon, if it makes any
difference) to actually use both the monitors connected to
it. However, I want to use one of the monitors for output only, and
therefore it would be nice if it were possible to restrict the mouse
from wrapping into it. Is there such an option avaiable? I have
looked, but I have not found one. I'm sorry if I'm just being blind.

Hi, 

Going of your question, I assume you juast want to replicate what you see on 
the first screen to output onto the second screen. Is this correct?

If that is the case, there is an option 

Option CloneDisplay integer

you can read about it in 

# man radeon

I havnt actually set up the behaviour you are describing on my dual screen set 
up so that is about all the help I can give you.

Hope this is of use to you

I don't know what kind of support there is for this Hercuels card, but I 
*can* warn that I am having lots of problems getting a different 
Hercules card working property (3D Prophet 7000 Dual-head, based on 
Radeon 7000). No support is given from Hercules, and it seems like their 
OEM cards differ from the originals in some points which may cause problems.

[XFree86] gnome-terminal text selection enhancement

2003-10-07 Thread Robert T. Drury
Using the mouse, I found reverse text selection (left motion) a problem 
- what I consider correct is to start a forward selection in the right 
half of the char cell, and a reverse selection in the left half of the 
char cell. This is how mozilla and gedit work, and I think irix terminal 
too.

Tested on multi-gnome-terminal-1.4.1 and appears to carry forward to 
zvtterm.c 1.161 in CVS.

in zvtterm.c,
zvt_term_button_press,
zvt_term_button_release,
zvt_term_motion_notify 
- add term-charwidth/2 in the numerator where converting x pixel 
position to x character position - this shift selection to right by 1/2 
char width

x = ( x - ( widget-style-klass-xthickness + PADDING ) + 
term-charwidth/2 ) / term-charwidth;

then, get rid of the call to vt_fix_selection in zvt_term_motion_notify
because it screws up selection and it seems to be unnecessary during motion

 Sir, I have an ATI Radeon IGP 340M and I wish you could tell me which driver I

 Thanks

You should run XFree86 4.3.0 or later and use the radeon driver.

Something like this for your device section:

Section Device
Identifier  Mobility
Driver  radeon
VendorName  ATI
BoardName   IGP 340M

 I've tried very hard and I'm not seeing the problem any more.
 If you are still seeing it maybe you could do a little 
 investigation into its cause?

 One thing you may want to try is setting
pI830-NeedRingBufferLow = TRUE
 This isn't done for the i830 as it didn't seem to be necessary.

ok. i will try and report as soon as possible.

That shouldn't make any difference to the noaccel case, since the
ring buffer isn't allocated then.

 Yes, turning XAA off will work around the problem. The LpRing is
 only used for that.

no. as i described above, this recipe was digged from mailing list
and solves the problem for some linux people. but not for me on
OpenBSD and this guy on NetBSD.

A couple of other things I can think of are 1) some subtle difference in
the implementation of the agpgart support for those two platforms, or
2) the fact that the BIOS is executed via the emulator on the BSDs but
uses vm86 mode on Linux.  Does anyone running FreeBSD see the problem?
If not, that should rule out 2).  To take the agp support out of the
picture, disable the HW cursor, and make sure the videoram is set to
some amount lower than what the BIOS preallocates at boot time (e.g.,
4096).  From your noaccel log, the agp interface is only used to allocate
the HW cursor space (because it needs a physical address).  That means
just adding 'Option SWCursor' to your Device section should be
sufficient for this test.

It would be very useful to try different OSs (Linux and one or more
BSDs) on exactly the same machine, and see if the results were the same.
It really has to be exactly the same machine to eliminate possible
differences in BIOS and hardware revisions.

The messages in your log:

(WW) I810(0): PRB0_CTL (0x000b6007) indicates ring buffer enabled
(WW) I810(0): PRB0_HEAD (0x) and PRB0_TAIL (0x00092660) indicate ring buffer 
not flushed

are results of some sanity checks on the inherited state that the driver
tries to make.  It doesn't do anything other than report them.  These
don't seem to show up at initial startup, only after switching VT's back
and forth.

There seemed to be some evidence that some BIOSes did stuff that the
driver didn't expect when switching back to text mode.  I was never able
to prove or disprove that theory, because I couldn't reproduce these
lockups that others had reported.  Maybe it depends on the BIOS rev or
hardware rev.  Maybe it's simply a bug lurking somewhere that doesn't
affect most platforms.  It's hard to say for sure at this point.

Re: [XFree86] Mouse restrictions under dual-head config

2003-10-07 Thread Fredrik Tolf
No, that's not what I want. What I meant is that I'll be using the
secondary screen for process and log monitoring and such stuff. I have
had no trouble at all setting that up, and it's working just
fine. Since I won't be giving it any input, I want is to restrict my
mouse from being able to wrap over to it when I move it to the edge of
my primary screen.

  Hi, 
  
   Going of your question, I assume you juast want to replicate what you see on 
  the first screen to output onto the second screen. Is this correct?
  
  If that is the case, there is an option 
  
  Option CloneDisplay integer
  
  you can read about it in 
  
  # man radeon
  
  I havnt actually set up the behaviour you are describing on my dual screen set 
  up so that is about all the help I can give you.
  
  Hope this is of use to you

  Hi,
  this is for Alan Hourihane (I guess),
 
  I have a trident cyberblade i1 (compaq Evo N150 laptop, X detects a
  Cyberbladei1d chipset, lspci tells me its a Cyberblade i1 (rev 6a)).
 
  With the drivers from  http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh (dated 05-Sep-2003)
   I can use XVideo once or twice (via mplayer1.0pre1-3.2.2), so it runs OK
  and smoothly. But if I try again a few minutes later, I get a mainly
  green screen (freezed), while audio part is going it's way. I can still
  watch movies with the x11 output, but it's then very slow (if I want real
  fullscreen). The only way of getting things back is to restart X.
  Is this a known bug ?

 I recommend that you try another Xv-aware application first, MPlayer has
 been a bit flaky lately.

 Thomas

Ok, I've compiled  a recent CVS XFree86 tree, logs gives me :
XFree86 Version 4.3.99.13
Release Date: 25 September 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.21-0.13mdkcustom i686 [ELF]

I have directly the problem when I try Xine with xv output. I mean, with Xine, 
I cannot even see a movie at all before I get stuck with the green window.
After relaunching XFree, I can watch movie in Xv with Mplayer (same version). 
It's Ok as long as I watch consistent files. But if I try a crappy file, 
which make mplayer freeze, so I have to kill it (with a SIGKILL), the Xv 
screen is then stuck in the described state with the green window (only in 
the active displayed part of the movie. I mean, the 2 black borders above and 
at the bottom of the image, due to the image ratio difference, are really 
black as expected).
So it seems that the card or the driver is left in an inconsistent state which 
can only be avoided by restarting the X session.

I have not tried with the trident-0-0-2 branch of the CVS tree, should I ? Is 
it possible that this inconsistent state be solved in  this version ? More, 
I've seen dri code in that branch. What state is it in ?

Thanks

David

PS: CC me back please.

And please forgive my poor english level, which is some kind of globish...

[XFree86] video players show 1/4 screen even when resized

2003-10-07 Thread Krister Swenson
I have a problem with playing video...
   using multiple programs(xine, mplayer) with every file type (divx, 
quicktime, mpeg) I've tried my computer displays only the top left 
quarter of the video I'm trying to play.

IF I PLAY A QUICKTIME OR WINMEDIA FILE WITH CROSSOVER IT WORKS FINE THOUGH!

I have built the most recent version of X and this hasn't fixed my 
problem (since then I moved back to the original because the new one 
broke a couple other things). The fact that crossover works makes me 
think that I might have something in Mandrake 9.1 misconfigured?

If I use the vesa driver video works as well. I know the ati driver 
should work though because it was working with a debian installation on 
the same machine.

[XFree86] G400 Dual Head and RedHat 9

2003-10-07 Thread James Wiggs
 Folks,

   I am posting this to the XFree86 mailing list and the RedHat general
list.  The issue appears to be pertinent to both XFree86 and RedHat 9,
and I have not seen any specific mention of it in the current archives
when I searched on Google.  I apologize for the length of the note but
want to get as many possibly pertinent details into it as I can.

   We recently had a meltdown on a box that had RedHat 7.3 installed; we
decided to install the latest version of RH since support for 7.3 seems
likely to go away in the near future.  The box contains the following
hardware:

ASUS P2B-D Dual PII motherboard
Dual PII 450 Deschutes CPUs w/512K cache
448 MB non-ECC PC100 RAM
3Com 3C905B-TX Ethernet
ESS-1968 Maestro 2 sound
Matrox G400 Dual-Head w/16 MB RAM
Generic 40X CD-ROM
6.4 GB Quantum IDE HD
13 GB IBM IDE HD
ViewSonic P810 21 Monitor
IBM P200 20 Monitor

   The 6.4 GB drive has an old installation of NT 4.0 on it which we
have enabled for dual-boot.  The 13 GB is the primary channel master,
the 6.4 is the primary channel slave, and the CD is the secondary
channel master drive.

   On to the problem: when we installed RH 9, we were unable to set up
dual head Xinerama display as we had previously.  Not surprising, as we
had to download the Matrox binary-only drivers to make that work on RH
7.3.  We downloaded the latest drivers from Matrox which are currently
labeled 3.0 compared to the old ones at 2.0, and installed them.  After
some initial weirdness with the MGA PowerDesk utility showing the second
head greyed out so that it appeared it was impossible to configure it,
we were able to get the second monitor up.  For some odd reason, if you
double-click in the (empty) area to the right of the monitor icons in
Power Desk where the mode selection radio buttons go, it suddenly
decides to activate the second monitor.  Go figure.

   So, we configure the monitors into dual-head mode, left and right
merged display.  Restarting X brings up the dual-head display as we
expected, and we were able to log in.  We configured up2date and got all
currently available updates onto the box.  Then we started actually
trying to use the system, and the problems began to appear.  Here are
the primary problems:

1) Anything GL-related can (and probably will) kill X.  This problem
first manifested when the primary user would walk away from the machine
long enough for the screensaver to come on.  He would often come back
and find that he'd been logged out.  He initially thought this was some
wacky new auto-logout feature built into the screensaver and wasted some
time trying to find something in the configuration windows to disable
it.  We found that we could force the crash by selecting preview on any
of the GL screensavers such as GLForestFire.

2) Any version of Mozilla other than the 1.2.1 that ships with Redhat is
extremely unstable.  Browsing to the Ximian site locked up both 1.3 and
1.4 stable versions of Mozilla.  We downloaded Firebird 0.6.1 as well,
with the same results.  Most of the time they won't even start; you get
an empty grey window frame when you try to start any of them.  Redhat's
1.2.1 continues to run like a champ.

   We de-installed the Matrox drivers and went back to single-head mode,
and all of the problems immediately vanished.  OK, so we went looking
for information on this problem.  We were unable to find anyone else who
was having the specific problems we were having, either in the mailing
list archives for redhat, XFree86, or the Linux lists at Matrox.  We
found some stuff through groups.google.com which suggested we might be
able to run the G400 in dual-head mode without using the (clearly buggy)
Matrox drivers, but that turned out to be totally fruitless.  We set up
a xinerama-enabled XF86Config file and attempted to run with the 4.3.0
stuff that we had installed.  No joy.  XFree86.0.log clearly showed that
it wanted the mga_hal_drv.o file to be available.  We finally concluded
that the folks who claimed to be running without the Matrox drivers must
be running distros that shipped with mga_hal_drv.o installed and they
just weren't aware of it.  One of them was running Mandrake, but I don't
recall which version it was.  You can find those posts on Google by
searching for Mantrox G400 Dual (and no, that's not a typo).

   Documentation for XFree86 states that the default behavior for the
MGA driver is to load the MGA HAL driver if it is available, so we tried
installing *just* the mga_hal_drv.o file from Matrox but leaving the
stock 4.3.0 mga_drv.o file in place.  No joy.  The second head would not
turn on.  Primary head worked fine, and none of the crashing problems
were there.  The 4.3.0 Matrox mga_drv.o file is almost 20 times larger
than the one for 4.2.1, which suggested that there might be a bunch of
debugging code in there which was the source of the problems.  Some
archived posts to the Matrox Linux list stated that it was possible to
run the 4.2.1 Matrox drivers under 4.3.0, so we
