Doesn't this raise suspicion that the problem is in the nv driver? No. Like I said, I'd be more suspicious of the font render or font server. I don't see that there's anything significantly different between the x86 and PPC versions of the nv driver. There's just some register changes programming big endian primitives rather than little endian ones, and those obviously work or it wouldn't be rendering. I never saw any crashes, but I wasn't using a font server and didn't have the freetype module installed. You said it crashed. Do you mean it segfaulted? Do you have a stack trace? X just stops. The image of the session remains in the framebuffer but no interaction can take place. Trying to kill X using the ps command (from a remote terminal) is not able to remove X or the image from the screen. The only way to get the console back is to reboot. I vaguely remember looking at the log files, and seeing nothing out of the ordinary. I would be glad to provide more information, if I could (suggestions welcome).

[Xpert]Keyboard repeat problem on Portege 4000
Hi all, I use XFree86 4.1.0 on a Toshiba Portege 4000 laptop installed from NetBSD's xsrc module which was updated today, just before the compilation. The problem is that when typing fast the keyboard sends some keys twice or more ressulttinggg llikkke thhiiisss. The problem is only in X, not on console, and only with the internal keyboard of the laptop, not the external. I have tried to fix the problem with the X BounceKeys setting, and it seems to help for a while, but after being in X for something like 20-30 minutes, it seems like the BounceKeys option resets itself, and they keyboard starts repeating by itself again. I know that the problem has occurred on other people too, namely Hubert Freyer (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-x11/2001/11/02/.html), and under a different operating system also using XFree86 4.1.0, namely Linux (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/portege4000.html). It would be great if there was a solution to this, but even if there isn't, I'd appreciate if someone gave me tips on how to debug this problem more. How can I probe the BounceKeys option status while running X, for example. BR, Teemu ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]startx/xinit hangs
I have just compiled and install XFree86 4.1 on my linux system. I am using a Voodoo 3 graphics card, a Sony Multiscan 20se || monitor. I am currently install X into /opt/X11R6 just for testing purposes. When I run startx it finds the proper xinitrc file and passes it to xinit, xinit then starts up x and does nothing more from there, it does not execute anything in my xinitrc file. I left my machine on over night and when i got back to it in the morning i had noticed that the information in xinitrc had been parsed and executed. I looked back at the console where i had ran start x and noticed that it said x connection broken to display :0.0 4 times. Does anyone have any ideas on why xinit would be taking so long to execute the information in xinitrc? ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]Voodoo 4 4500 AGP
Hi, since I upgraded my XFree86 from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0, I can't you the dri extension for the Voodoo 4. The XFree 4.0.3 had a RPM package called XFree86-tdfx-dri-4.0.3 ... that provided the dri capability for the Voodo 4500. It worked quite well. The Xfree 4.1.0 doesn't have this package. Although the performance using software renderer has improved, I can't use the hardware acceleration. I have already installed the glide library for this board and I use the Opengl libs provided by the Xfree package. My distribuition is Conectiva Linux 7.0, and I use the kernel 2.4.12 .

[Xpert]Video card hw acceleration?
Hello;) I'm kinda new to linux. I'm currently using RedHat 7.2 on my PC with a 8Mb SIS6326 video card. My problem is how do I enable hardware acceleration for the video card? and how do I configure X to use 24bit color with 800x600? I've got no problem using 16bit but when I select 24bit the screen goes bw and stretched. Is there any way for me to correct this? PS : If I'm in the wrong post, please correct me. Thank you.

[Xpert]*Severe* time lossage with XF86 4.1.0 and S3Virge MX LCD
Looking thru a couple of months of list archives turned up nothing, so: When running 4.1.0 on my laptop using a S3Virge MX, my system clock loses at least two seconds per minute. I've done everything I can to narrow this down, and the bottom line is when X is running, even in a fresh weave (running X only), even when the VT is not active, my clock is slowed. I've tried pulling out all the optional stuff (fifo_aggressive, the pci-burst/retry stuff, NoPM, you name it). I've got an AMD K6-2 at 400MHz. The relevant files are below (I used to hate MIME in mailing lists, so I won't start now that I use a compliant mail program; no attachments unless they're OK here). uname -a Linux prostar 2.2.19 #7 Wed Jan 2 13:13:14 PST 2002 i586 i386 XF86Config Section Files FontPath unix/:-1 EndSection Section ServerFlags Option DontZoom Option DisableVidModeExtention Option standby time 20 Option suspend time 30 Option off time 60 # Option NoPM # causes corruption on S3V/MX if on EndSection Section Module Load dbe SubSection extmod EndSubSection Load glx Load type1 Load freetype Load speedo EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard Driver keyboard Option CoreKeyboard Option AlwaysCore Option AutoRepeat 500 50 # Option XkbModel pc104 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option AlwaysCore Option Protocol PS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse Option Emulate3Buttons Option Emulate3Timeout 50 EndSection Section Monitor Identifier ProScan 1200T VendorName ProScan ModelName 1024x768 14.1 in.
