Re: [Xpert]ATY R128/RF (Xpert2000, 32mb, AGP)
Please try current CVS or wait for 4.2.0 and see if it's still there. Ok, I will. The bug (?) has been there ever since the card was supported though. It has gotten less during development, but it's still there. Well, if it's OK with 2D acceleration but without DRI now, chances are it will be okay also with DRI with current CVS or 4.2.0 due to changes to the way 2D acceleration is done with DRI enabled. Well, It's -not- OK with 2D acceleration only. The useCCD option is Xfree86 turns off 2D accel off, too. -- Martijn ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]Nvidia Linux PowerMac G4 driver
I've pulled the latest CVS xfree86 and compiled it on my G4 533 dual Snakebite. I am also using the latest benh kernel. My Mac has the GForce 2MX card (I think.). I've gotten X to work with the nv driver but it usually crashes after a few minutes. Once it crashed when I tried to send a mail message from Mozilla. The last crash happened when I was using gnome and had a couple terminals open. I am currious as to what kind of luck others are having? BTW I am using debian unstable.

Re: [Xpert]XFree86 and Trident Cyberblade XP
snip I am unable to run X on a toshiba satellite pro 4600 with trident = cyberblade XP and Redhat 7.2... Can you have any idea??? snip N.B.: Please do guys like me a favor a loose the HTML in mail to lists. Get the 4.2 release candidate, compile the drivers and it will work. I have the driver working on my Toshiba 1805-274. The interface on my system is a CyberBlade XP Ai1. You might also consider sending mail to Trident to urge the release of the documents on hardware acceleration because the 4.2 driver is unaccelerated due to a lack of information. People considering the purchase of a laptop for Linux are advised to carefully consider the available options other than the Toshibas using the CyberBlade graphics interface. The 4.2 driver works but it is slow. dlg ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Re: [Xpert]Why the atom I defined cannot effect?
Hi, Oh, yes,the trouble is in the programe. At the end of the programe , I use XvSet to free the video memory,but after the founction, I must do something about SetPort or GetPort attribute, or use XFlush(), the the XV_FREE_FB will go to founction. Otherwise, the Xvsetattribute will not be setted. I'm very bewildered about the use of these founction. It seems that the XvSet/Get cannot be sended to server timely. I don't why it must be done as these. Thanks Mark! Thanks all! Hzeng - Original Message - There's really not much checking done by the higher level code.

It's client-server and, for performance reasons, the client output buffer is only flushed when needed. Xlib will buffer ALL requests until explicitly flushed or when making a request that requires a reply (it has to flush everything to the server so that the X-server can reply to it). It also flushes when the client waits for events (because the client may expect and event based on requests in its output buffer). I'm assume your FREE attribute is for some custom application. Memory management, in general, should be transparent to the application. Mark. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert]I830M memory/bios/vidmode problem?
Manuel M. T. Chakravarty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote, As I have tried to explain before, I believe that the problem is NOT in the driver actually having a problem with only 1MB stolen memory. The problem - as far as I understand it - is that the BIOS *assumes* that only a restricted number of video modes are available. [..] It seems to me that the BIOS here simply does not provide a video mode with a resolution higher than 640x480 at depth 16 and 24. In other words, I don't think that the problem is really in the driver, but that it is in what the BIOS reports. Is it possible that the BIOS determines the available video modes in dependence on the GMCH setting of the amount of stolen memory? As the 1MB stolen memory seems to be the problem, I tried to coax the machine into actually using 8MB stolen memory instead of only 1MB. I did so by editing the function intel_i830_configure() in `linux/drivers/char/agp/agpgart_be.c' by adding the lines marked by a `+': pci_read_config_word(agp_bridge.dev,I830_GMCH_CTRL,gmch_ctrl); gmch_ctrl |= I830_GMCH_ENABLED; + gmch_ctrl = ~I830_GMCH_GMS_MASK; + gmch_ctrl |= I830_GMCH_GMS_STOLEN_8192; pci_write_config_word(agp_bridge.dev,I830_GMCH_CTRL,gmch_ctrl); Unfortunately, this resulted in the machine freezing as soon as I load the `agpgart' module. Any ideas on what the right method is to change this setting? Cheers, Manuel ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
