RHEL3 is an old distribution, and I don't believe the people here will be able to help too much since the current drivers probably won't work there. However, I would suggest that your customer contact Red Hat for support. They would know the best way to supply working graphics on their platform. -- Dan ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: xkb: how to map symbol Meta to key Alt

Three remarks: a) I would prefer modify keycode table file (previously xfree86) because this way, all layouts would see alt-key as meta. b) the reason for my "odd" request is this: being forced to press right Alt-key only to get national characters is so weird for me, that I decided to use both Alt-keys to produce those characters. But Alt (symbol) is hardcoded in X11 to get accelerators. Because of that I have to move that symbol somewhere else. The perfect place is CapsLock. So now, I would have Alt-symbol on CapsLock-key, and Meta-symbol on both Alt-keys. So I would have symmetric keyboard, 100% functionality and much more productive layout, I used it for years, and it proved its quality. No wonder, I would like to still use it in openSUSE 11.4. c) I learned how to make a dump of the layout to take a peek how X11 sees my layout. Both Alt-key entries were divided for Group1 and Group2. Group1 looks like from X11 original symbol file (pc) and Group2 is coming from me. So it looks like I am only able to add symbols, not redefine keys -- despite they fact I used "replace" keyword in definition. But if I could alter keycodes (see (a)), this would solve this problem.

A request for Matrox driver procedure
Dear friends of the Linux Community! My name is Suresh. M and I am sales person. I need a help from all of you that is one of our customer is having supermicro server and OS is Redhat 3 update 8. He wanted high definition resolution. However, There are no VGA drivers available for Redhat 3 Update 8. The best bet would be to use xorg driver and compile it on RHEL3 update 8. There is package called mga which works for matrox graphics driver. You must know however, that I'm not an engineer. So, customer need procedure to install this driver. Please help giving this procedure.

A request from the "Hackintosh" community
Hello dear friends of the Linux Community! My name is Felipe Ribba and I'm a Graphic Designer from Chile, South America, and a computer hardware enthusiast. You must know however, that I'm not a programmer nor developer, but I have some basic notions on how the hardware works and I'm always eager to learn more. I would love to know how to program drivers, modify os kernels, generate ACPI calls and such, but I just don't know (yet). I lack the knowledge and I would like to ask you a big favor... On behalf of the "Hackintosh" community at tonymacx86.com and insanelymac.com, I'm respectfully requesting you guys, if it's possible that you could give us a hand in any way, such as generating a "twin" project or a "spinoff" of the Linux Hybrid Graphics project, oriented improve the Optimus support for the OSX platform. Most of our research, guesses and findings (which are not that much) can be found at http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8446&start=0 The creator of the topic, Minihack and a few more guys there had a lot more knowledge than me. I've also tried to contact Netkas (at netkas.org) with no luck yet, but I won't give up! http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,792.0.html I'm an owner of a Hybrid Dell Vostro 3700 (IntelHD + Nvidia GT 330m) so if you need me to test anything (settings, DSDT dumps, etc) I'll be glad to help in any way. Thank you so much for your time, sorry for my bad English, and I hope to hear from you sometime soon! :) Yours truly Felipe Ribba E. ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

Hm, I hope I did understand correctly. You want to use the Alt key to
generate characters and not use any of the desktop functionality tied to
it. If clients interpret Alt and Meta alike, you have to use another
way. Do you have a national layout available that produces all the chars
you want with ISO_Level3_Shift (aka AltGr)? If so you can simply put that
modifier onto the Alt key.

Debian 6 / Dual Nvidia Graphic Cards
Hi Folks Hope all is well out there. I have recently bitten the bullet and jumped back into the pool of Linux. I will jump straight to it as you may had this before. But I am having problems configuring two identical PCIe Gcards with Xorg and configuring with xrandr. I shall include certain outputs from certain commands. lspci returns both cards on there corresponding bus ids 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) xrandr 1.3 returns: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1280x720 60.0 1152x720 60.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60075.0 60.3 640x48075.0 60.0 720x40070.1 DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VGA-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1600x900 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1280x720 60.0 1152x720 60.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60075.0 60.3 640x48075.0 60.0 720x40070.1 An Xorg -configure Fails and returns: Number of screens does not match the number of devices detected or something like that. Sorry for the half hearted desciption. Wanted to get this email out before changing my runlevel again and producing the Xorg log file again. Xorg appears to be using the NOUVEAU driver which from what I have read is a little experimental in the hope to be more free and open. Naturally correct me if my understanding is shot. I am not bothered to much about 3d acceleration as I have no desire for gaming or the like these days. Just need to provide network admin to people remotely and would like to fire up my four monitors with a bit more control. I have managed to get them to fire up whilst diddling with the Xorg.conf file but cannot seem to get the second two screens to do anything other than clone eachother. I did read past distribution had xinerama, I guess the thing I am looking for in this fast paced change of linux development is an easier route to configuring these features without the need for major upheaval of reinstalling and trial and error. I do apologise however, since my knowledge of linux is still somewhat limited. Maybe when i know a bit more I will naturally be able to cope with this fast changing scene. Anyway thanks in advance to all, your input is much appreciated especially your time.
