Screenshots
Hello! There is such task: I need to capture screenshots and store its in a memory ASAP (really, I need only array of data RGBA). I was doing that with help of XGetImage - but it works too slow; After that I was trying to create XPixmap and copy screen content to it, but I discovered that Pixmap always changes according to the screen. How can I create Pixmap and don't let X11 change its content? Or maybe exists some other solution. Thanks. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

SiS driver
All, Is there any reason why the SiS driver isnt the one Thomas Winischofer provides on his site? I recently had very negative experiences with the stock SiS driver on a 661FX that his driver solved immediately. Now I realized it may have solved just this one problem but it seems as the one on his site gets more attention. I know Thomas has submitted other fixes into the tree, and may even be the SiS maintainer. Kean ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

XOpenDisplay for new X Windows Programmer.
Hi,
First question: Am I in the right place. I am trying to write a
simple X Window program but XFee86 seems to focus on video cards or
chips. So, if I'm not in the right place please tell me where to go but
not like my wife does.
If this is the place, I am starting into X Window programming and I
can't even get the simplest program to run. It compiles and links fine
but always fails to make the connection to the display manager. I have
spent 2 days pouring over the internet and trying all sorts of stuff but
nothing has worked.
I'm running RedHat 9.0 with XFree86 4.3 on an Intel clone. Here is my
program:
#include stdio.h
#include X11/X.h
#include X11/Xlib.h
/*MAIN**/
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
Display *disp;
int screen = -1;
//Open the X Windows Display
disp = XOpenDisplay(localhost:0.);
if (disp == NULL){
printf(Error opening X Display);
return(-1);
}
screen = DefaultScreen(disp);
printf(The default screen is: %d \n,screen);
if (disp) {
XCloseDisplay(disp);
disp = 0;
}
}
I have tried (NULL), (Cody:0), (Cody:0.0) and (Cody:0.1) as args
to XOpenDisplay. But it never returns any but NULL and I never get what
the screen number is.
I'm starting to think it's a RedHat problem or an enviroment problem.
I also have xhost + set.
So at this point I am very frustrated with X Windows! :)
Thanks is advance to all.
Sincerely,
Rick Dempster

Generally, you pass NULL so it will read the connection from
the DISPLAY environment variable. Most shells have this set to
a reasonable default like :0.0 .

[XFree86] How to speed up XFree86 startup on ARM-Linux
Hi all, I'm trying to use XFree86 4.3.0 on an embedded system based on ARM9 core running at 200 MHz, with a graphical card connected on the PCI bus (for the first trials I'm using a Matrox Millennium II, and then I'm going to switch to a custom hardware). I'm running Linux 2.4.18. I crosscompiled the full XFree86 version, and not the tiny one, because I need to use the modular drivers (such as mga_drv.o) for graphical accelerations. I succeeded in running the X server on my system, but the server startup time is quite high: if launched soon after the system boot, X -probeonly takes about 16 seconds to terminate. I suspect that most of this time could be spent by CPU for file accesses: e.g. loading modules, or writing the logfile. The following points drive me to this suspicion: 1. I have a JFFS2 filesystem on a flash memory. This filesystem is compressed, and moreover it uses some algorithms to avoid insisting on the same flash sector and to make garbage collection: therefore, it can be heavy for the CPU if a lot of files are accessed, as in the case of XFree86. 2. If I launch X -probeonly several times consecutively, the execution times vary a lot, ranging from 10 to 20 seconds. I think this huge variation can be the effect of file caching and/or JFFS2 processing. I made some attempts to reduce the file access time, in this way: 1. Using a RAM filesystem (tmpfs) to store all the /usr/X11R6 stuff (modules) and changing the configuration file to load modules from there. Result: no meaningful change. 2. Changing the logfile position with the -logfile option. I tried using /dev/null, and using a path located in a tmpfs filesystem, but in both cases the X server aborts with signal 4. I wanted to ask you what problem can I have with -logfile to cause the server abort, and if you have some better ideas that could speed up the server startup.

[XFree86] mouse pointer problems
Hello, I am using 7.1 Red Hat Linux with the 4.0.3-5 version of XFree86. I recently had to change my video card in my server. When I did something in the configuration got messed up. I've been searching for the solution in the documentation but had no success. THE PROBLEM: When the XSERVER starts up, it does not show the mouse pointer. It shows a distorted square box. The mouse does move the box fine. To select an option from the screen, i'll have put the top right corner of the box on the object, then select it. Everything seems to work fine except for the box being on the screen and not the pointer arrow picture. Can you tell me where I can fine the configuration file that handles this process and the (i guess) arrow bit map file.

Hey! I've just installed Slackware 9.1 and now I'm having trouble with the X-configuration. I have the Intel 845-G video card and as far as I know the drivers for this card is in the i810-driver package? When I'm running the 'xf86config' I put in all the correct values for my card, mouse and whatever, but still I get the errors saying something about the BIOS and depth is not correct. I'm pretty new to Slack and Linux in general, so if someone could give me an step-by-step HOWTO I would really glad. :) Thanks in advance and regards, bjornie ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Re: [XFree86] Fwd: XFree86 vulnerability exploit
Patches for this and related vulnerabilities have been committed
to all of the release branches of the XFree86 CVS repository, and
to the trunk. A source patch relative to 4.3.0.1 can be found at
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/fixes/fontfile.diff.
Once things have settled, I'm planning to add snapshot tags to each
branch. This will give a set of definite version numbers where this
is fixed.

Re: [XFree86] Status for i855GM and 1400x1050?
Quoth Odd Christer Brovig: What is the status for this chipset and resolution? Will it work native in 4.4.0? I've had no success of getting the mode up and running in both 4.3.0 with 855patch and 4.4.0 rc2(installed from binaries provided by xfree86.org). not unless there has been a *significant* rewrite of the driver, which is unlikely (and there hasn't been any news about it - I assume we'd know). I _do_ recall a while back someone saying that intel had released an 855 Video Bios update, which included this mode (so X couldthen use it), but it relies on your manufacturer incorporating this into a system BIOS update. On dell machines at least, this seems very unlikely :-( I feel you pain - in fact, I'm experiencing it right now :) cheers chris ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Of course, the easiest thing to do is to avoid the whole mess and install X from the 4.4 release candidates, available at www.xfree86.org.
