[XFree86] configuring X on nVidia Quadro4 380
I am having problems configuring XFree86 on a NetBSD/i386 system. When starting X, I get a black display and the monitor's LED blinks green (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace works to kill the X server). The system details are: NetBSD/i386 1.6.1 (GENERIC) XFree86 4.3.0 Samsung SyncMaster 172T TFT display (using DVI input) nVidia NV18GL (Quadro4 380 XGL) I ran `X -configure' which happily produced a configuration file, but when I run X to use that configuration file, I get the results I describe above. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I've not configured X in almost 10 years, so whatever I did know, I've forgotten! Thanks, Ben pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[XFree86] Out of range frequencies
Hi, I would really appreciate it if someone can help me. I'm using XFree86, version 4.3.0. My graphics card is an S3 Pro Savage DDR My monitor is a Philips 107S I could run the X server with a resolution of 640x480, with 256 colors, but anything higher than that gives me either a blank screen or a "out of range frequency" from the monitor. I read a page on the web about the S3 Savage, and I think I'm using the latest drivers. I'm appending my XF86Config file, and a log from a failed attempt. -Paulo # File generated by xf86config. # # Copyright (c) 1999 by The XFree86 Project, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

And my point, is that XFree86.org doesn't support 3.3.6 anymore.
Some distributions still _provide_ it, but wether or not they
_support_ it, as in fixing bugs, and whatnot, depends on the
particular distribution. You may wish to contact Debian directly
to find out if they officially bugfix support and tech support
XFree86 3.3.6.

S3 Hardware works fine on 4.x using the "vesa" driver if the "s3"
or "s3virge" drivers don't work.

[XFree86] Prob. with XServer
Hi !! I have a intel 845 glva motherboard running RedHat linux 8. Due to poor graphical resolution, I recently downloaded te entire 4.3 version of Xwindows (abt 70 mb) and installed it. Unfortunately, after installation (it said the installation completed successfully), when i rebooted, i did get a graphical screen with mouse, as if its just trying to bring the logon screen, but the logon screen never comes and the system remains like that. when i kill XWindows and login from console and then use 'startx', it directly goes to gui under the root's account without teh graphical logon screen. Then, when i click teh logout menu, the logout confirmatuon dialog never comes. Can anyone please tell me, whats the problem with the XWindows? Also, previously, under RedHat 7, i cld use Xconfigurator and test my settings. Under the new Xwindows system, i no longer find the "XConfigurator" command, neither it is listed in "setup". How can i get the text based graphical configuration tool? Please help me with this, since i am really stuck ... Anirban. has notified the sender that this message has been received.

I rebooted it at which point I received the following message: "I coud not start the X server (your graphical environment) due to some internal error. Please contact your system administrator or check your syslog to diagnose. In the meantime this display will be disabled. Please restart gdm when" followed by: "RGGzuGGS" I am able to log in locally as a client and as the superuser with only a text interface. When I attempt to start the GUI (startx) I get the following message: "PAM authentication failed, cannot start x server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? giving up. xinit: Nosuch file or directory (errnno 2): unagel to connect to x server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error" I am afraid I have no other details to offer as I am new to the world of Linux and to Unix, in general. I am trying to find the command in order to display my syslog information.

Hey there You first need to install the VMWare Tools. Here's what you do Logon as root and select Install VMWare Tools from the VMWare File. Then mount the cdrom (mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) and in it there is a .tar.gz package. Copy it to the hard drive, extract it and follow the instructions.. then don't forget to edit the XF86Config-4 file if there is any configuration layout you need to add.

Re: [XFree86] autodetect dual head ?
Another option that worked for a radeon user I was helping, was to set up the video chip in mergedfb mode initally with crt1 forced on or with the monitor attached. then use xrandr to resize the frame buffer on the fly. so if you have two 1024x768 heads set up the initial framebuffer as 2048x768 then use xrandr to resize to 1024x768. if you plug in the monitor rerun xrandr and change back to 2048x768. this only works in mergedfb mode and may not work on sis (I don't know that any one has tried it). Also you must start with a 2048x768 frambuffer. xrandr cannot resize up if you start out with a 1024x768 framebuffer. while this may work, this case was not taken into account when xrandr or mergedfb were written so YMMV.

[XFree86] DPMS suspend not working with tdfx Voodoo3-2000
I recently upgraded my computer (from FreeBSD 3.1 to 5.1), and now my monitor will not go into "suspend" mode; it stays in "standby". I have this in my .xsession: xset s 300 s blank dpms 1200 3600 So after 20 minutes, the monitor should go into "standby" mode, then after an hour into "suspend" mode; this was working previously. Now however, after my upgrade, it will go standby but never suspend. Even when I do "xset dpms force suspend", it goes into standby and stays there. An "xset q" in this state says the monitor is in "Suspend" state, even though it isn't. Video board is a tdfx voodoo3-2000, monitor is a NEC Multisync E950. Has anybody seen this before? Is there a fix?

[XFree86] autodetect dual head ?
I configured my dual head setup on my laptop using an SiS 650 chipset. However, since the VGA is the primary, it seems that I either have to : - have the VGA monitor on at boot time - set ForceCRT1 The first case is obviously not very practical for a laptop since the only monitor I am sure to have on is the LCD. The second case is not very good either : it actually starts the second screen in any case and seem to use a wealth of computer resources even the monitor is not present. Furthermore, running Gnome on both screen in that configuration brings the panel of the VGA screen on top of the LCD one (I don't know why, though !!???). Would there be a way to autodetect if CRT1 is present, and THEN, turn on dual head ? Or make Xfree not scream if CRT1 is not present and just disable its screen instead of exiting with an error ?

I'm still fairly new to BSD I'm not very familiar with the file structure of OpenBSD, but in FreeBSD, you typically put your kernel config in (for i386 platforms) /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ . If you haven't tweaked your kernel yet, it'll probably be the GENERIC kernel (you can see it in the initial boot messages, or in dmesg). Again, in FreeBSD (-STABLE, not so in -CURRENT), there is another file called LINT that lists all of the options and flags for kernel configuration. However, I just looked at the openbsd site, and it looks like openbsd is structured a bit differently. Here's the kernel config info: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Why It may be that OpenBSD doesn't enable AGP support by default -- FreeBSD doesn't, but doesn't choke like you're describing either. Also, I know there are a few tricks to getting the i810 working in XFree86 -- a chunk of the X Windows chapter in the FreeBSD handbook deals with getting that card going.

My X config is a simple one generated by knoppix which I'll post if need be along with the X log file. Anyway, all works fine (X crashes the odd time switching to text terminals, but that's a topic for another post) and to my great joy TV Out works right out of the box. Just hook it up, remove the Monitor and reboot. With TV, the initial boot sequence gives a bunch of resolution options or "scan" to probe. Several options work but they all amount to it using 640x480 or 800x600 neither of which fills the TV screen (the latter naturally comes a little closer). X just uses the same area which was used by the boot sequence. I've asked around and got ideas like "check the BIOS for an overscan option" and "try changing PAL/NTSC". There is no such option in the BIOS and I've changed the PAL/NTSC jumper and it seems to make no difference whatsoever. So, does anyone here have any suggestions for how to proceed to get full screen TV Output? For the savage driver there is a "TV" option (or something approaching) and you can use it to specify NTSC or PAL output (to see if your driver has this option have a look at its man page). Moreover you can also change the modelines to have better matching display. Bye Manu ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] External Monitor problem with radeon driver
Hi All, I've just installed Redhat 9.0 on my Compaq Evo 610c laptop. The Xserver wotk fine with the laptop panel and gives me a nice 1400x1050 resolution. However when I dock the laptop and try to drive an external CRT monitor I get problems. The attached XF86Config file will give me 1400x1050 resolution on my CRT but I get very low refresh rates i.e. 60 Hz. Secondly the very top of the screen has annoying flickering where its not redrawing the screen properly. Lastly when driving the CRT the LCD panel is still on. The PanelOff option is turned on but doesn't do anything. If I turn the option CloneMode to anything except "1" the LCD turns off but the CRT gets a virtual desktop. I have to scroll around a 640x480 desktop. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Daryl -- _ Daryl Parker Researcher, Applied Research Labs.

Hello, I have a logitech marble mouse, this is a strange trackball that has the ball at center and four buttons, two "classic standard buttons" and the other two are to simulate the wheel and go up and down on mozilla. The mouse works very well but the third and four buttons won't work they are recognized has the third button but I'm not able the configure them to work has a wheel.

[XFree86] i845GE TV Out not using Full Screen
Hi, I've got a Shuttle SB51G with the optional CV21 TV Out module. http://www.shuttle.com/new/product/barebone/specs_b.asp?B_id=8 http://www.shuttle.com/new/product/barebone/specs_a.asp?A_id=14 Generally a linux user, normally a Debian user, I'm using Knoppix temporarily as it comes with XFree86 4.3 and I've not had the chance (or rather the bandwidth) to get organized with Branden's unofficial 4.3 for Debian. My X config is a simple one generated by knoppix which I'll post if need be along with the X log file. Anyway, all works fine (X crashes the odd time switching to text terminals, but that's a topic for another post) and to my great joy TV Out works right out of the box. Just hook it up, remove the Monitor and reboot. With TV, the initial boot sequence gives a bunch of resolution options or "scan" to probe. Several options work but they all amount to it using 640x480 or 800x600 neither of which fills the TV screen (the latter naturally comes a little closer). X just uses the same area which was used by the boot sequence. I've asked around and got ideas like "check the BIOS for an overscan option" and "try changing PAL/NTSC". There is no such option in the BIOS and I've changed the PAL/NTSC jumper and it seems to make no difference whatsoever. So, does anyone here have any suggestions for how to proceed to get full screen TV Output? Gavin ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

The problem you are seeing is quite rare and I don't recall when somebody reported here that a monitor died when switching modes. What surprises me most however that this happens although your monitor is rather new: it even has DDC support. Usually these monitors support multi sync and are capable of detecting if the sync frequencies are out of range. All modes listed in the log which are available thru mode switching are around 60Hz and should not cause problems on almost any monitor. I suppose if you set any of these modes as the startup mode you don't see any problems. So the problem is most likely the mode change itself. It is theoretically possible that during mode transition the sync frequencies are out of range for a short while. Unfortunately I have no idea how to debug this. You could try a newer version of the XFree86 as 4.1 is rather old however I don't think that the mode setting part of the code has changed since then. Do you remember if it happened during any mode transition or only during a switch between two specific modes (ie. when you switch from 1024x768 to 640x480)?

Hi, HorizSync 30-50 VertRefresh 47-110 The VertRefresh is not really realistic. Your DDC info shows you can do about 75 Hz (II) S3VIRGE(0): Supported VESA Video Modes: (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--- (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] (interlaced) (II) S3VIRGE(0): [EMAIL PROTECTED] So set your monitor to this: HorizSync 30-50 VertRefresh 47-75 That should keep you on the save side.

[XFree86] Installing sis driver on MSI Hermes 650
Hi, I want to install the sis video driver on my MSI Hermes 650 barebone, in order to have Xvideo support. The computer is connected to my TV and is used as frontend to mythTV. The RedHat installer set the vesa driver in the XFree86 configuration file. As far as I can see, the sis driver does support my SiS 650 chipset. However when changing the driver type in the XFree86 configuration and starting X the screen remains solid black. I am using XFree86 4.3.0. I added some information from the Hermes 650 manual to this mail. What am I doing wrong? Maybe it's because I use the TV out? TV out works with vesa, however. Thanks for any help.
