Re: [Xpert]need help setting up xfree86 on sparcstation 20
I'm damn close, but its not working yet. XFree86 -configure works, and spits out a complete configuration file. Unfortunately, however, X still doesn't start. It looks like it's about to, but then it quits: (II) SUNCG14: driver for CG14 (==) SUNCG14(0): RGB weight 10 (==) SUNCG14(0): Default visual is TrueColor (==) SUNCG14(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) (II) Loading /usr/local/XFree86-cvs/lib/modules/libfb.a (II) Module fb: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.1.99.3, module version = 1.0.0 (==) SUNCG14(0): DPI set to (75, 75) Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0 I also have the same problem with the XFree86 server as with XFree86's Xsun server. If I have not run Sun's Xsun server before running XFree86, XFree86 just says no devices found. Also, the driver only allows me to set the depth to 32, it says all other depths are not supported by the driver, not even 8. Unless someone has some new revelations about XFree86 on Solaris, I think I'll just use xfree's Xsun in 8-bit depth, as it doesn't seem like the loadable module version of XFree86 is supposed to work on sparc/Solaris anyway. Besides, 256 colors will be enough for 95% of what I will be doing on the box. Thanks for your help Ferris. I couldn't find any substantial documentation on interfacing with the framebuffers on solaris, except for these man pages: cgfourteen, fbio, and good ol' mmap and iotcl.

Re: [Xpert]need help setting up xfree86 on sparcstation 20
Thanks for your help, I tried out your XF86Config file (it was already very similar to my own), but it did not work. I am presently compiling XFree86 4.1.0, hopefully it will work with that version. couple questions: What version of Solaris are you running? Did you have to make any changes to the source tree to get it to compile and work properly? For the build I am doing now, I just uncommented #define HasGcc2 YES and added #define BuildXFree86OnSparcSunOS YES #define XSun24Server YES #define XSunServer YES #define DoLoadableServer YES in the site.def file. Is there anything else I need to change? thanks, Jim Faulkner On Sat, 29 Dec 2001, Alex Buell wrote: > Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 19:11:06 + (GMT) > From: Alex Buell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: dogshu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: Ferris McCormick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Xpert]need help setting up xfree86 on sparcstation 20 > > On Sat, 29 Dec 2001, dogshu wrote: > > > (II) SUNCG14: driver for CG14 > > (==) SUNCG14(0): RGB weight 10 > > (==) SUNCG14(0): Default visual is TrueColor > > (==) SUNCG14(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) > > (II) Loading /usr/local/XFree86-cvs/lib/modules/libfb.a > > (II) Module fb: vendor="The XFree86 Project" > > compiled for 4.1.99.3, module version = 1.0.0 > > (==) SUNCG14(0): DPI set to (75, 75) > > I've got X 4.1.0 working 100% on my SPARCstation 20, attached is my > XF86Config file.

[Xpert]nv driver broken, compared to vesa driver (GeForce 3 + 1600SW)
Hi all, Until various Brave Souls "port" the Linux NVIDIA binary driver to FreeBSD, I'm stuck with XFree's vesa driver, which will only let me run at 1280x1024x16 (whereas I'd like 1600x1024x24). At any rate, it's horribly slow, blah blah, but other than that it appears to work perfectly: I can see what I'm typing on the screen. In the interest of improved speed (read: I want my CPU back), I'd like to use the nv driver, but for some reason I can only get complete garbage out of this. Attempting to set modelines (some of which work 100% with identical hardware running Linux and the NVIDIA binary driver) is of no use whatsoever. What's the story? Is there some secret GeForce timing selection, only known to NVIDIA, which is invoked when "vesa" asks for a particular mode, but is simply beyond the grasp of "nv", presumably due to a lack of documentation? Is there any way I can prod the nv driver to spit out the same DVI signal as the vesa driver? Thanks in advance, Duraid P.S. Someone remind me to stay well clear of NVIDIA. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

It's just not finished, and whoever was working on it apparently is doing other things right now. As best as I can tell, XF86's Xsun/Xsun24 servers don't officially even know about a cg14, and I suppose that's why they try to drive it as a cg8. > Thanks for your help Ferris.

If I had that and some clue how Solaris interfaces with these devices, I'd try to ferret out what's going on, but I don't. If Sun makes any of this information available, they call it something else. Sorry I can't be of more help; I find it frustrating that XFree86 doesn't provide a road map, at least, for completing xf86/sun support in general, and Solaris specifically.

There is only one hardware palette. Matrox cards and some other cards using TI or IBM ramdacs have a special mode where you can, in 32bpp, have two framebuffers: one with 8 bits in the top byte of each 32bit pixel and another in the 3 bottom bytes. The 8 bits can go through a palette lookup, the bottom 3 just hold 8:8:8 RGB data and cannot. This lets you offer a TrueColor visual (without gamma correction) and you implement PseudoColor and GrayScale with the 8bits that go through the palette. Actually you can emulate all visuals through an 8 bit palette, but only PseudoColor and GrayScale are offered because those are the only read-write visuals. They have to be read-write because you need to preallocate the colorkey which determines which framebuffer the ramdac reads out, so there's really only 255 usable pixels + a transparent one. 256 colormap entries are advertised, but one is preallocated. > > > How does Xfree86 know this?

Alex, Thanks for the information, and if this makes my rants in my response to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> incorrect or irrelevant, my apologies. As a piece of information, what operating system do you use? The particular problem under discussion arose under Solaris 8, and xfree86 4.1.0 "shouldn't" run at all there. I don't usually use xf86 with Solaris, but I use it with Sparc/Linux (I'm the one generating all the noise about DPMS & sunffb :) Regards, Ferris -- Ferris E.

[Xpert]BUG: SEGV/hang in X server from movie playback
When playing avi-format files, the X server hangs/SEGVs rather consistantly. Software environment is Debian/GNU Linux 3.0 / 2.4.16, XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1, and alsa 0.9 beta10. Viewers are avifile 0.6.0.20011220 and smpeg 0.4.4-4. Hardware is a K6-2/350 with PCI 3D Rage Pro (boot head, display 0.1) and PCI voodoo banshee (with DRI enabled, display 0.0). Symptoms: On 0.0, the first instance of either player will play the first input file without problems. Upon playing a new input file in either player, or switching players and playing an input file, the X server will exit with a signal 11. On 0.1, any attempt to play a file with either player results in an hard lock, including loss of network response. Use of xawtv does not appear to cause any problems. -- Ferret -- Support your government, give Echelon / Carnivore something to parse -- classfield top-secret government restricted data information project CIA KGB GRU DISA DoD atheist defense systems military systems spy steal EMP Microsoft terrorist Allah Natasha Gregori destroy destruct attack will own send Russia bank system compromise World Trade Center international rule the world ATSC RTEM warmod ATMD force Pentagon power enforce Bin Laden Bill Gates sensitive directorate TSP NSTD ORD DD2-N AMTAS STRAP warrior-T presidental elections policital foreign fnord embassy takeover democracy -- msg02802/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: [Xpert]No AGP and DRI with ATI Radeon Mobility M6
Hi there, I thgt i should also add some observations from my end regarding the DRI and AGP issue. I was atlast able to get my Radeon driver support for my Laptop. Compaq Presario 1720 US, with RH 7.2, Kernel 2.4.7-10, XFree86 CVS Oct 31st 8 MB Video Ram, ATI Radeon Mobility M6 Observations: 1) When i pass "vga=0x305" to my kernel during bootup (in the lilo.conf). No matter what I do, my X never runs if i use a Radeon driver. I had to use Vesa generic driver to get my X running till now. I have also tried with different options available for the "vga" parameter, but X runs only when i choose "vga=1" option (i.e. 80x25). If i do choose to run with "vga=0x305" kernel option and with "radeon" as my driver for the X, then i am only able to get 640x480 screen and that too in a screwed up manner. 2) So i am able to run the X with a radeon support. Here is where i found some bizzare things: * If i set up my X server to a "1024x768x16", i get AGP 4x and also my DRI is enabled. This information was gathered from XFree.0.log, but when i try to run the "glxinfo" it says that my "Direct Rendering : no". Why is it saying so ??? * When i set my X server to "1024x768x24", i get the display but then my AGP and DRIoptions are ignored while the X starts. In both cases, glxinfo reports that my "DRI" is disabled irrespective of what is shown in XFree.0.log. And glxgears gives me 250-270 fps. Can anyone tell me what should be the ideal number on would expect to see if everything was working, for a Radeon Mobility M6 chip ? So here are my questions: 1) Can i still pass vga=0x305 (or any other option) and still get Radeon support for my card ? If so what resolutions are we talking abt ? 2)Why isn't the DRI and AGP enabled at 1024x768x24 res. ? And why is glxinfo reporting it incorrectly when i see that DRI is enabled in my XFree.0.log (while using 1024x768x16 res) ? 3)What is the typical fps reported from "glxgears" for this videocard ? Lastly, i was never able to get a higher resolution to work for me unlike what Jean has reported.I will send in log files if someone is curious.

OK, I finally got AGP to work, using *only* CONFIG_AGP_INTEL. And I got DRI working at 1280x1024. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work at 1400x1050 (SXGA+), which is my normal LCD resolution. It complains that it can't allocate 8663 kB of memory, which is normal since I only have 8 MB video memory. Is there any way to "save some memory" so that I could get DRI @ 1400x1050?

Because a problem on the client side prevents direct rendering. Usually permissions or a version conflict.

[Xpert]radeon 7000 (ve) "fix" question
Hi all, Had problems getting a Radeon 7000 working, as the XFree86.#.log indicated all was well, but the screen always blanked. Traced it down to radeon_driver.c, which was assuming DVI instead of CRT -- the card only has one 15-pin VGA connector, but otherwise, it's pretty much the same hardware as the VE. Forcing it to use CRT worked. What's the "right" fix for this? I'm still learning my way around the source (just grabbed it to get my card working), so if I'm a bit slow, apologies in advance. :-) -- DN Daniel ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
