[ANNOUNCE] X11R7.5

2009-10-26 Thread Alan Coopersmith 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

The X.Org Foundation and the global community of X.Org developers
announce the release of X11R7.5 - Release 7.5 of the X Window System,
Version 11.  This release is the sixth modular release of the X Window
System. The next full release will be X11R7.6 and is expected in 2010.

X11R7.5 supports Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, Microsoft Windows and
GNU Hurd systems. It incorporates new features, and  stability and
correctness fixes, including improved autoconfiguration heuristics,
enhanced support for input devices, and new options for reconfiguring
the screen geometry while the system is running.

The full source code is free to use, modify and redistribute, under open
source licenses, and is available from http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/
and mirrors worldwide.

For more information on the X Window System, including how to get involved
with development, please see http://www.x.org.

Summary of new features in X11R7.5

   This is a sampling of the new features in X11R7.5. A more complete list
   of changes can be found in the ChangeLog files that are part of the source
   of each X module and on the http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/ website.

   More information on the contents of X11R7.5 and changes from previous
   releases can also be found in the release notes posted at:
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/RELNOTES.html

 * Multi-Pointer X (MPX) provides the user with multiple independent
   mouse cursors and multiple independent keyboard foci. Each cursor is a
   true system cursor and different pointers can operate in multiple
   applications simultaneously.

 * Input device properties allow you to attach properties to a device.
   These properties can be of arbitrary type and can be changed without
   the server having to know their details.

 * The X Input Extension version 2.0 (XI2) is designed to replace both
   core input processing and prior versions of the X Input Extension.
   Besides MPX, it provides a number of other enhancements over version
   1.5, including:

  * explicit device hierarchy of master and slave devices.
  * the ability for devices to change capabilities at runtime.
  * raw device events

 * Resize, Rotate and Reflect Extension (RANDR) version 1.3 builds on
   the changes made with version 1.2 and adds some new capabilities
   without fundmentally changing the extension again. The following
   features are added in this version:

  * Projective Transforms
The implementation work for general rotation support
made it trivial to add full projective transformations.
These can be used to scale the screen up/down as well as
perform projector keystone correct or other effects.

  * Panning
Panning was removed with RandR 1.2 because the old
semantics didn't fit any longer. With RandR 1.3 panning
can be specified per crtc.

 * The DRI2 extension is designed to associate and access auxillary
   rendering buffers with an X drawable. It is a essentially a helper
   extension to support implementation of direct rendering
   drivers/libraries/technologies. The first consumer of this extension
   is a direct rendering OpenGL driver, but the DRI2 extension is not
   designed to be OpenGL specific. Work is underway to utilize DRI2 for
   the Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (VPDAU) as well. Direct
   rendering implementations of OpenVG, Xv, cairo and other graphics APIs
   should find the functionality exposed by this extension helpful and
   hopefully sufficient.

If the server doesn't support ISA, it will have a hard time knowing that
"Primary Device is == ISA" ...

[ANNOUNCE] Video hackfest

2009-10-26 Thread Benjamin Otte 
Hi,

I'd like to announce the Video hackfest.[1]  Its goal is to improve
the Linux desktop video experience.  The hackfest will take place in
Collabora's Barcelona offices on the 4 days from Thursday, November
19th to Sunday, November 22nd, 2009. See the wiki for details[1].
A big thanks goes to the X Foundation for funding and Collabora
Multimedia for providing the location.

The idea to this hackfest originated in my idea to bridge X, Cairo and
GStreamer and make them work together better. I prototyped some code
touching every part of the stack, the result of which can be seen on
my blog[2][3]. If you are interested in technical details, I sent them
to the gstreamer and cairo lists before[4][5]. While doing this work
we realized that there is a lack of knowledge about the challenges
that the other projects face. Which is when we decided to do a
hackfest focussing on improving the Linux desktop video experience.

We are currently in the process of collecting topics for the hackfest.
The current list is at [6]. If you think there are issues that should
be discussed and are missing from the list, just add them. You don't
have to be a participant to do that. Just edit the wiki.

Also, if you think this hackfest covers exactly the stuff you are
hacking on and you should participate in the hackfest, it's most
likely a sign you are right and I forgot you. In that case, please
mail me at o...@gnome.org or poke me on IRC (my nick is Company on
freenode) and we'll figure something out. We might even be able to pay
for you, if you are a poor student.

Cheers,
Benjamin

There was a bug in the PCI probe code in the chips driver until fairly
recently.  Try version 1.2.2.

Well, after some trial and error, I got vesa to work for X and 
framebuffer to work for text screens.  (For some reason, X Frame buffer 
won't work, but as the hardware is 15 years old, it's not worth fixing.)

Problem with SIS660 video card, Xorg 1.6.5 - slow XVideo output

2009-10-26 Thread Arseniy Lartsev 
Hi,

I have a trouble with XVideo on a laptop with SIS chipset when running
xorg-server 1.6.5 (xf86-video-sis 0.10.2, Linux 2.6.31.3).

When I play video in any video player with XVideo output, X server uses up to 
50% CPU time depending on resolution of the picture.

Xorg version 1.5.2 works fine on the same machine with the same kernel. I'm 
attaching lspci -v and Xorg.0.log from both 1.6.5 and 1.5.2. The most notable 
difference is the following:

1.5.2:
(II) SIS(0): Benchmarking system RAM to video RAM memory transfer methods:
(--) SIS(0): Checked libc memcpy()... 116.8 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-1 memcpy()... 116.9 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-2 memcpy()... 56.6 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked MMX memcpy()... 130.3 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked MMX2 memcpy()... 162.0 MiB/s

1.6.5:
(II) SIS(0): Benchmarking system RAM to video RAM memory transfer methods:
(--) SIS(0): Checked libc memcpy()... 20.0 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-1 memcpy()... 20.0 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-2 memcpy()... 16.6 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked MMX memcpy()... 39.7 MiB/s
(--) SIS(0): Checked MMX2 memcpy()... 39.9 MiB/s

Copying to video RAM appears to be surprisingly slow (and apparently CPU 
consuming).

Could you help me finding out the reason? I'd like to have this problem solved 
in my distribution.

X server 1.5 isn't very good at supporting multi-card since it uses
libpciaccess. Multicard support was only fixed up with upcoming kernel 2.6.32
and X server 1.7.

Previous to that I think X server 1.4 was the last one to still
support multi-card
