XvGetStill for v4l
Hello I'm wondering if there are currently any plans to implement XvGetStill for the video4linux driver in XFree. I currently use XvPutVideo with my v4l device (a brooktree frame grabber), and this works very well. I'm working on including the capability to capture stills as well as video into an application, and would like to use the Xv extension instead of the V4L API, because Xv is a lot easier to use... If someone can let me know if this feature is planned (or even possible) I'd appreciate it. Thanks Mark ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

How to render multiple cursors?
I earlier had a question regarding how to support multiple pointers. One reply to that was to write a Window Manager to handle this. I can see how the window manager can handle moving windows simultaneously and redirecting input to windows simultaneously. But I'm wondering how would one render multiple cursors from the window manager. It seems if it was just drawn on the root window then other windows would obscure it. Is there a way to draw a top level window that is transparent? Or is there some other trick to getting multiple cursors rendered that will always be on top? Thanks, Grant. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: What about a kernel module?
Raymond Jennings wrote: I'd like to suggest that you implement device-specific code as a kernel module. This has been discussed to death. XFree86 is portable to systems where we can't just willy-nilly add kernel modules. With few exceptions, such as to implement hardware 3D, this is right out. Also I have Red Hat 7.0 and when I drag a window, it is SLOW. Since the version of XFree86 in that distro is at least 3 years old, it probably doesn't support hardware acceleration on your card.

Re: What about a kernel module?
On Wed, 08 Oct 2003 19:12:56 +, Raymond Jennings wrote: I'd like to suggest that you implement device-specific code as a kernel module. Have something like /dev/videocard or /dev/framebuffer, and a kernel module to control it Cause reads and writes to access video memory, and have IOCTL's for everything else (including sync frequencies, video modes, palettes, resolutions, hardware cursors, accelerator functions, anything besides video memory). The key problem with this is that kernel modules are Linux-specific, and further often need to be kernel-version specific. XFree86 runs quite well in many non-Linux environments today. Further, for reliability reasons, the goal of minimizing kernel code is one that is healthy in ANY environment. Never go to kernel mode if you don't have to. Remember, each transition to kernel mode costs cycles; if I can do the same operations in user mode, performance will be better. Implementing a kernel module might give access to more resources, like tighter console control, asynchronous accelerations, No, I don't think any of that is true. and it would allow unprivileged SVGAlib programs to run because the kernel module would do the dirty work, and a process wouldn't need root privileges to access SVGA. For security reasons, wouldn't you want to restrict access to the kernel module to root programs anyway? You don't want arbitrary code accessing your video card and changing the mode. Also I have Red Hat 7.0 and when I drag a window, it is SLOW. Scrolling with xpdf is also very slow. Could you somehow accelerate window movement and scrolling? I see no difference in blitting from an offscreen pixmap to a window, and blitting the window from the old position to the new one. In fact, the window movement ought to be FASTER because BOTH pixmaps are in video memory. Depends on your video card. There are certainly acceleration hooks for screen-to-screen blitting, but each driver implements different accelerations.

xf86Yield()
I'd like to export a yielding function to the drivers. Bool xf86Yield(int yield_if) which will yield if the implementation yields in the way specified or a better way, but does nothing otherwise. yield_if can be: YIELD_ALWAYS Give up the CPU even if it means you sit out for at least a jiffy. YIELD_RESCHEDULE Give up the CPU even if it means you could lose the rest of your slice. Don't do anything otherwise. YIELD_FAST Give up the CPU only if you don't lose the rest of your slice. Don't do anything otherwise. It returns FALSE if it didn't yield. Do these sound like the right values for such a function? I assume that for Linux they map as follows: Pre GLIBC 2, YIELD_ALWAYS with usleep(0) Post GLIBC 2, YIELD_FAST with sched_yield() Which GLIBC corresponds to the YIELD_RESCHEDULE version of sched_yield()?

Current example are AGPGART and DRM, which have migrated (or are being migrated) to the 3 BSDs after being implemented first on Linux. I don't think kernel based methods should be ignored -- especially when a kernel module can conviently provide functionality not otherwise available. However, I think it would be a mistake (for portability reasons) to only implement core features in ways that require kernel modules.

i855 problem - was Re: [XFree86] Configuring 4-heads with Radeon RV2P
I think this is a know problem with the i8xx driver. I'm not sure what the work around is, if there is one. Alex Hi Jason: Ive read your post, and maybe you can help me whith something similar: I have a laptop which has a screen plug (db15). If i turn on the laptop, the screen that works is its lcd pannel. If i turn it on whith an external screen pluged into the db15, that screen works, but not the lcd. Also, if im using the lcd, i cannot plug an external screen to the db15 whithout rebooting. When i run X, in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file appears: ... Display plane A is disabled Display plane B is enabled ... 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. If you know any document where i can find some information, i would appreciate it. Thank you. Fernando Alvarez-Uria Madrid, Spain p.s.

Re: [XFree86] Mouse restrictions under dual-head config
This can be done, however, both heads have to be in graphics mode, so you'll have to start an xterm or something on the other head to display your log output. to to it change the screenlayout section of your config. remove the relationship (eg. leftof, rightof, etc.) between the heads ie: Screen 0 head0 0 0 Screen 1 head1 Also make sure xinerama is not loaded.

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. I made some tests on my NetBSD laptop : Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop (bios A08) Intel 82830MP Integrated Video (rev. 0x04) NetBSD 1.6ZC (-current 20031003) XFree86 4.3.99.13 (-current 20031007) * NoAccel ... ok * Accel ... KO * Accel + SWcursor + 4Mo... KO * Accel + NeedRingBufferLow ... KO For the NoAccel case, i successfully switched about 20 times to the 4 text consoles and went back to X without any problem.

[XFree86] G400 Dual Head and RedHat 9
I think redhat compiles xfree86 with the use_hal (I forget the exact name) flag turned off. what you need to do is recompile the mga driver with that flag on (I think that is the default for a stock xfree86). then the mga driver will load the hal module for features that need it. Alex -- 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

Re: [XFree86] Mouse restrictions under dual-head config
Thank you. That was actually what I had in mind (and I had discovered that earlier). It's just that it feels like kind of a hack to do so. I would have thought that there would be a real way of doing it, if you see what I mean. Oh, and by the way. What I would _really_ want, is to run two different X servers on the same time, but the current VT implementation seems to prevent that. I've heard of some kernel patch or something coming along to fix that.

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. A couple of FreeBSDers have had problems with I830WaitLpRing errors on switching to a different VT. Can you confirm that this is one of the recent development snapshots?

[XFree86] Re: G400 Dual Head and RedHat 9
On Tue, 7 Oct 2003, James Wiggs wrote: 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. In order for you to get working dualhead on the Matrox G400 in XFree86, requires that you use Matrox's video driver from their website, along with their proprietary Hallib. The mga driver in Red Hat Linux is built with: #define UseMatroxHalNO This is done because Red Hat does not support proprietary drivers, and people using them often file bug reports anyway. In the case of the Matrox driver, it is very often difficult to determine in short order wether or not someone is using the unsupported Hallib or not. Since I wasted counteless hours debugging many problems that were caused by Matrox hallib being used with the mga driver many releases ago, only to find that hallib was being used after having blown a lot of time already, I disabled Hallib support intentionally in order to limit the amount of bogus bug reports being received. Theoretically, we could still get bug reports from people who download and install both the replacement driver plus hallib from Matrox, however for whatever reason - in practice, that has not turned out to be the case. Since disabling hallib support, I have received virtually zero bug reports for mga hardware involving hallib, so this was a successful decision. People using Hallib, need to report bugs/problems they are having directly to Matrox, so that they are able to fix their binary only driver support, as distributions like Red Hat and others can't really do much about problems that occur with such drivers as we do not have the source code to them.

All nVidia cards use the same driver, nv. Just choose any of the nVidia cards in the list and it will work just fine.

Re: [XFree86] My video card
The nv driver that comes with XFree86 didn't support the GeForceFX until XFree86 4.3, so unless that is Red Hat 9, you don't have the driver. You'll want to either upgrade to XFree86 4.3 or you can use NVIDIA's binary drivers available from NVIDIA's web page, which will work with your current XFree86 version. Mark.

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. I made some tests on my NetBSD laptop : Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop (bios A08) Intel 82830MP Integrated Video (rev. 0x04) NetBSD 1.6ZC (-current 20031003) XFree86 4.3.99.13 (-current 20031007) * NoAccel ... ok * Accel ... KO * Accel + SWcursor + 4Mo ... KO * Accel + NeedRingBufferLow ... KO For the NoAccel case, i successfully switched about 20 times to the 4 text consoles and went back to X without any problem. But still no luck with acceleration enabled. my result with OpenBSD against -current (4.3.99.13) was completely equal to Nicolas' with NetBSD: I830WaitLpRing() lockup still here. Does that include the NoAccel case no longer locking up? If so, that's at least something positive. additionally, i have downloaded one of these widely available linux on livecd distros and have found 4.3.0 working. Also good news. I'd like suggest trying the emulator version of the int10 module. Normally you'd do this by renaming the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a file so that the generic (emulator) version /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libint10.a gets used instead. That might not be possible if you're running off a live CD. You might be able to achieve the same thing by copying the generic version to some writeable directory, and edit the XF86Config file to add that directory to the ModulePath before the default one. Checking the log file will allow you to confirm which module actually gets used. When you next try on OpenBSD, can you try a kernel without the agp support, to try eliminating that completely from the picture? you will find dmesg and XFree86.log below. as always, i have done a couple of terminal switching. this is it... confusing...
