[XFree86] can't disable DPMS

2003-12-07 Thread GoTaR 
In 4.3.99.15 and 4.3.99.16 disabling DPMS via:

xset -dpms

doesn't work. Applications like mplayer can't cope with it either.

I've found this:

but this is the time the bug has _appeared_ (not vanished), so please
check the patch out once again.

[XFree86] Two modifiers on one key

2003-09-04 Thread GoTaR 
Hi!

I want caps lock key do act as ISO_Level3_Shift and as Caps_Lock when
pressed with Control key. I've tried this:

partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols caps_switch {
  key CAPS {
type[Group1]=PC_BREAK,
symbols[Group1] = [ ISO_Level3_Shift, Caps_Lock ]
  };
};

And it's OK with Caps Lock disabled. When enabled by ctrl-caps lock:
1. it's being disabled by pressing (and releasing) caps lock alone,
2. pressed with other letter does only level3 shifting (and remains
enabled).
How should I fix it?

Re: [XFree86] [4.3.0] nv driver: videoram option

You can't do that.  Not only would you not want to do that 
 because of the horrible performance reading from video ram,

Is the performance worst than hard disk?

 NVIDIA
 hardware has critical state stored in videoram.  The chip will
 hang if it gets corrupted.

It's my risk. Anyway, it doesn't matter - the option shall not end with
sig11.

I don't understand that.  What does reducing the amount of
 videoram have to do with a ramdisk?

Ramdisk located in video ram would be overwritten if something else (in
ths case - X) use this video ram.
I thought the idea up and Michal Schulz gave the solution and detailed
description, which you can find at:
http://hedera.linuxnews.pl/_news/2002/09/03/_long/1445.html
Caution in 5th point misses the true in the last sentence.
Is there another way to say to X not to touch specified region of video
memory?

I see no reason to force VideoRam to lower than what there
 actually is,

As you can see it's good solution for limited memory systems with modern
graphics adapters (up to 128MB of VRAM).

 but if you do it's possible that something in 
 core XFree86 code requires it to be a power of two.  Write combine
 ranges can only be setup on power of two apertures.

I've tried 16384, 8192 and 4096 - these are powers of 2.

 Nothing in the nv driver has changed in this respect.

So where's the bug? Reducing works with tseng driver on my second video
board - ET6100.
