Regarding how to use MPX in case of xoo device
Hello all, I am an undergraduate student of final year engineering.I have configured X server with Multi-pointer support(MPX) on my machine with Ubuntu 8.10 as a part of my final year project.In that I want to use MPX in xoo. I tried to set path for X server in preferences as /opt/mpx/bin/Xnest (as I have configured MPX in /opt directory) but it didn't work.So please can anybody suggest where I am doing mistake if any and how to use MPX in xoo device's display? Thanks in advance . Amey. ___ xorg-devel mailing list xorg-devel@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
How to start any window manager in newly configured X server(having MPX support)
Hello all, First of all thanks all , I finally succeeded in configuring X server with all necessary requirements.But now I am ulsing xterminal in my newly configured X server using .xinitrc.But I want to use a window manager in it. I also tried to start 'gdm' in new X server and I succeeded also in it using following command in .xintrc : *exec gdm * But I didn't get the multipointers when I tried to use xinput utility to create master in the terminal started in it and got following output.. *xinput create-master one* * X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (XInputExtension) Minor opcode of failed request: 43 () Serial number of failed request: 12 Current serial number in output stream:13 *I also checked for MPWM's source code but didn't get one. So please guide in this regard. Thanking you -- Amey. ___ xorg-devel mailing list xorg-devel@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
Re: Failure in detecting keyboard
Thanks Dan, I configured the xserver with option '--enable-config-hal' and it worked.

Amey, just build xkbcomp with --prefix=/opt/mpx and make sure it uses a base path of /opt/mpx/share/X11/xkb so it will pick up your config files. There should be a configure option if it doesn't just follow --prefix by default. Thanks Dan, It worked by configuring xkbcomp package by following the instructions you told. But still I have one more problem which is of reattaching the master pointer to plugged mouse i.e. slave device. When I used 'list' option of xinput command it shows some 2 virtual core pointers and one master ( that I created earlier by 'create-master' option ) .For that I had configured lib-hal-dev package from synaptics and also checked for dbus package so it ws already there so didn't install again.But still when I plug in an usb mouse its not getting recognised when I checked using 'list' option of xinput command. P.S. I have configured X server on ubuntu interpid-ibex. Possibly the server was not built with hal support for hotplugging. If you attach a Xorg.0.log, it should shed some light. -- Dan -- Thanks, Amey. ___ xorg-devel mailing list xorg-devel@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel

Re: Problem while configuring xserver.
Hello Sir, Sorry to ask such a question but I am installing X11 with option as --prefix=/opt/mpx i.e. in /opt/mpx folder while configuring each and every package including libX11.I am following the script given on the link for the same: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/BuildingX?action=showredirect=Development%2Fgit even I tried to find libX11.so in /opt/mpx and I got following locations: /opt/mpx/lib/libX11-xcb.so.1.0.0 /opt/mpx/lib/libX11.la /opt/mpx/lib/libX11-xcb.la /opt/mpx/lib/libX11.a /opt/mpx/lib/libX11.so.6 /opt/mpx/lib/libX11.so /opt/mpx/lib/libX11-xcb.a /opt/mpx/lib/libX11.so.6.3.0 /opt/mpx/lib/libX11-xcb.so /opt/mpx/lib/libX11-xcb.so.1 /opt/mpx/share/doc/libX11 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 ... So accordingly I set paths for the environment variables. I have set environment variables with following paths for configuring all packages: PKG_CONFIG_PATH = /opt/mpx/pkgconfig:/opt/mpx/share/pkgconfig LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/mpx/lib ACLOCAL = aclocal -I /opt/mpx/share/aclocal Thus please can you please elaborate more about: LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH should contain the paths to your X11 installation as well. -- Greetings Pete What is this talk of 'release?'
