[XFree86] x events logging / debugging
Hi, We're using Xft2/Fontconfig/Freetype2 to display truetype (chinese) fonts. However, we don't have the possibility to use a toolkit like Qt or GTK, so we're calling Xft calls directly. The result is that our applications works, including Chinese fonts, but the X server runs to a 100% load. The question is how to debug this scenario. We have a Qt test application (using Xft2) that works perfectly, and we want to see what the difference is between these two. How can we log X server events? Or are there other possibilities to debug a X11 application? > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, > H.J. ten Berge Test & Integration HITT Traffic Oude Apeldoornseweg 41-45 P.O.

Configuration options are great, the driver is very neat (IMHO the package from nVidia seems to be more polished then the ATI ones) and it works perfectly!

So the solution is using the nVidia driver or rebuilding the X server yourself (or, of course, make your application turecolor).

This is caused by the render module. One solution is to use a nVidia card with the driver from nVidia. They have an option in their driver 'NoRenderExtension' which disables the render module and gives you your precious colors in pseudocolor mode back! Another option is to rebuild the X server without render module. It is doable (I tested it) but the nVidia solution is much more elegant. > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, > H.J. ten Berge Test & Integration HITT Traffic Oude Apeldoornseweg 41-45 P.O.

[XFree86] UTF-8 and Motif?
Hi, We have an 'old' Motif application that needs to becomeUTF-8 aware for a Chinese customer. The question is how? Motif doesn't support UTF-8, so basically the advise that we already had was "go to use Qt or GTK, don't use Motif (anymore)". But is this the only alternative? Wouldn't it be possible to use Xf2 / Freetype from within our Motif application? > Met vriendelijke groet / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards, > H.J. ten Berge Test Engineer HITT Traffic Oude Apeldoornseweg 41-45 P.O.

[XFree86] mouse pointer freeze
Hi, We have a situation where the mouse pointer freezes in the middle of the screen and is completely dead. You have to restart the X server to fix this. I'm suspicious about one of our applications, but could this be the case? Is it possible for an application to disable the mouse pointer completely?
