Radeon KMS not working
I've been working on a Radeon KMS setup since yesterday, and I've finally got it to the point where nothing works at all. :) At this point, the error I get is that when I try to start X, video card tops outputting any signal at all, and I get the following lines in my /var/log/messages a few dozen times a second: [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(5). [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Faild to schedule IB ! I'm using linux-2.6.31-rc8, and mesa, xorg-server, and xf86-video-ati from git checkouts from yesterday, as well as git versions of a few other libraries (I can provide exact versions and revision numbers for everything if necessary, but I don't know what all is relevant right now). Normally I'd assume it's a transient issue, since I'm running several things from git, but [1] indicates that people have been seeing this same error for several months now. [1]: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=77860postcount=8 Also, I tried disabling KMS in the kernel once I got everything installed (radeon.modeset=0 as a kernel parameter), hoping that everything would fall back on the old code paths and work again - unfortunately, it still crashed immediately. Should I have expected this to work? --Ravi ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Re: Mapping keypress-sequences etc. to mouse buttons

Re: XKB: purpose of virtualMods=... in symbols files

I currently am trying to understand how XKB works.
I pretty much understand most of it, descriptions on
http://www.unix.bat.ru/mirrors/pascal/en/xkb/
and the wonderful.
Ability to retrieve current xkb configuration using xkbcomp makes it
even easier.
I don't understand the purpose of virtualMods= in symbol files.
I was able to make use of this statement, but only like that:
virtualMods=Vmod,
actions= [SetMods(modifiers=Vmod)]
As this allows to set a virtual modifier from a symbol declaration.
(but this feature isn't used at all)
However, standalone virtualMods= doesn't do anything, so why it is
present in many symbol files, like:
// Both Ctrls pressed together toggle group
partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols ctrls_toggle {
virtual_modifiers LControl, RControl;
key LCTL {
type[Group1]=PC_RCONTROL_LEVEL2,
symbols[Group1]= [ NoSymbol,ISO_Prev_Group ],
virtualMods= LControl
};
key RCTL {
type[Group1]=PC_LCONTROL_LEVEL2,
symbols[Group1]= [ NoSymbol,ISO_Next_Group ],
virtualMods= RControl
};
};
Any idea?

Have we considered the possibility of mapping things using an xkb-like set of config files? Or even integrating it into xkb? I note that we have: - Something that maps virtual buttons to physical buttons - Something that maps a physical axis (scroll wheel) to a virtual set of buttons - Things that invert and swap axes I don't see any reason why these couldn't be done in an xkb-like fashion, although in the second and third cases, these might need to be implemented in the driver instead of via xmodmap (assuming I understand xmodmap correctly). Am I correct in understanding that, in this diagram: http://computerstuff.jdarx.info/content/keystroke-flow-xorg ...the xmodmap program also affects the dark green box (possibly at the point where the word compiles appears)?
