XGGI used as xdm
Hello, Finaly, I got it. I had a look at the /dev/tty* and noticed /dev/tty had major 5 and a minor 0 and the /dev/tty[0-9] had a major number 4, and a minor number being the same number as the number of the tty. So I rm /dev/tty and symlink /dev/tty0 to /dev/tty (because I noticed it worked fine when launching form a peculiar tty). Since then it works. By the way, What's the use of /dev/tty (5,0) ? I think the problem if not in my configuration may be located in the libggi2.0b2.1 in the ./display/linvtsw/display.c. @++; Julien Tayon -- Easter-eggsLinux System Integrator 17 bis rue du Dr Zamenhof - 92500 Rueil Malmaison - France Phone: +33 (0) 1 41 29 10 01- Fax: +33 (0) 1 41 29 11 71 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.easter-eggs.com
Re: FW: problems over matrox fb
Hi ! I've just tested vesafb. I've found no problems. So I believe there is a bug inside of some acceleration function(s). The question is where is it, in GGI or matroxfb or my G100 board? Well basically it is probably the GGI lib that accesses the matroxfb not checking for conditions the G100 chip will not handle gracefully in hardware. You might want to try disabling the matrox acceleration driver in /etc/ggi/targets/fbdev.conf . CU, ANdy -- = Andreas Beck| Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
RE: FW: problems over matrox fb
Ok Thanks, It's not a big problem. Just now I've added support for back buffer additionally to paging mode. GGI default functions work well.

Like a magic symlink to /dev/ttyXX when XX is the actual terminal in use. Ancient UNIX thing. Cheers, __ \/ Andrew Apted [EMAIL PROTECTED]
