xfree86_4.0.1-0phase2v18 use static libz
Hi, I've rebuilt and checked xfree86_4.0.1-0phase2v18 on my machine. It does not have "#define HasZlib YES" line in host.def, so build and use libz.a included in source (xc/lib/zlib) I think that to use libz.so included in zlib1g-dev is better.

I wonder when these losers are going to stop sending mail directly to Branden. I would irritate the living sh*t out of me... In anycase, I successfully built phase2 v18 4.0.1 debs from Branden's source on this potato installation with a little tweaking and adjusting.

Hey Branden, Great work on X and dexter so far! I was hoping to get another little addition to dexter, though, or find out why it's not there already :) Since the upgrade to X 4.0.1, my monitor wouldn't power off like it would under 3.3.6. Finally someone pointed me the way of Option "DPMS" "on" in Section "Monitor" Is this something that could either be added to dexter's default configuration file, or at least listed as an option (if it causes problems on some hardware or something)?

Congrats/Thanks, and a question...?
I've been "lucky" recently to cease co-habiting my desk with an AMD K6-2/350, and had that replaced with a new Dell 220 workstation (with a GeForce-2 video card along with other marvelous features). Reading the list (and reading the XFree lists) seemed to imply non-support for this video card, except for through the CVS version of XFree86 4.x.x; however, on "upgrading" to Branden's XFree86 4.0.1 debs, things look like they work "somewhat well" (I need to verify font-settings, and seeing a new format for the XF86Config file, after using the old one for nearly 8 years, was disorientating, but such is progress and lack of time). Should this indeed be so (support for GeForce-2 really exists)? Or is it that I've been lucky, and some of the bugs I'm seeing will improve? (I'll report on them when I get the time to verify that they are bugs or interaction problems rather than user idiocy). But nevertheless, Wowso. This is actually working, and was up and running really simply (apt is worthy of worship, nevermind how much hell it occassionally puts me through). best, -tony -- A.J. RossiniRsrch. Asst.

Re: Voodoo 5 (tdfx) at 24 bpp and dexter
On Thu, Oct 19, 2000 at 04:03:39PM -0500, Branden Robinson wrote: It does support 24 bit color depth if your resolution is low enough. This appears to be a bug in the tdfx driver. IIRC I had to get down to 1152x864 before 24-bit would work on my Voodoo3 3000 PCI. IIRC, the DRI support only works in 16 bit colour depth on the Voodoo3 - given that many people are likely to want to use it if they have a tdfx card, defaulting to 16 may be sensible. (end of stuff that's directly related to the debs) Some combination of high resolution + depth gets things into a confused state. I get a corrupt screen even at 16-bit depth if I push the card up to really ridiculous resolutions (1920x1440 or something). I won't speculate on the possible causes of this so as to avoid sounding like a complete idiot. I've had the same problem (which is a pain, because I have a nice shiny new monitor that's capable of doing that). I haven't had a chance to find out why, but dropping to 1800x1440ish fixes it. I tried defining my own modelines, but they get deleted due to "Unknown reason" during X startup. I'd assumed that this was just me being an idiot in some way, so seeing someone else with the same problem is reassuring :) While I'm pestering Daryll in his inbox, there have been widespread reports (which I can personally confirm) of occasional VGA text font corruption upon switching away to a console VC from X when using the tdfx driver. Pieces of glyphs go missing. Perhaps something needs to wait longer before switching back to text mode? Note that this doesn't happen every single time (or perhaps it is simply hitting unusual characters that don't happen to be on the screen), but if you switch back and forth half a dozen times with something more than getty on the VC, you should be able to see this. I've noticed this here as well. However, I haven't seen it when using the server from linux.3dfx.com. Once the process has started (by switching to a text console from X), certain characters (mostly punctuation) are damaged and occasional flashing characters appear. Leaving it at the text console with no input gives more characters appearing over time. I've also been having problems with DRI and objects being rendered out of order when rendering to the root window and in some other applications (wine, for instance), while most windowed stuff works fine. This seems to happen with both the XFree and 3DFX drivers, so may be something specific to my setup. I haven't tried the stock XFree tree with this card, so my experiences are limited to the debs and the 3DFX packages. Please let me know what I can do to help test fixes for these problems, I have a Voodoo3 3000 PCI here at work and a 2000 PCI at home. This is with a V3 3000 AGP. I'm also happy to try stuff to fix this - I upgraded to the Voodoo because my G100 wouldn't go above 1800x1400 at 60Hz, so I'd quite like to have working higher resolutions :) -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yeah, I found that in xfonts-base or xserver-common (I forget which one). ** Derek J Witt ** * Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Home Page: http://www.flinthills.com/~djw/ * *** ...and on the eighth day, God met Bill Gates. - Unknown **
dexter wishlist item
Hey Branden, Great work on X and dexter so far! I was hoping to get another little addition to dexter, though, or find out why it's not there already :) Since the upgrade to X 4.0.1, my monitor wouldn't power off like it would under 3.3.6. Finally someone pointed me the way of Option DPMS on in Section Monitor Is this something that could either be added to dexter's default configuration file, or at least listed as an option (if it causes problems on some hardware or something)? Thanks. -m -- Michael Urman [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg: 1024g/55C56706 : C3D7 2A8F 6261 3DE4 F544 6DC3 A1D5 BEF6 156F 65A4 mwr#debian bsd is also responsible for porn nets, then, too? Groovy.
Place of X RESOURCE files (xfree86_4.0.1)
My understand that: `X resource files (e.g /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm) is conffiles'. So in xfree86_4.0.1.deb, X RESOURCE files will move from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults directory to /etc/X11/app-defaults directory and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults symlink point to /etc/X11/app-defaults Is it right? But X resource files are not only place in /usr/X11R6/lib/app-defaults. We can put X resource file to /usr/X11R6/lib/$LANG/app-defaults. For example, xcalendar-i18n have two RESOURCE files, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults/XCalendar and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar. When LANG is set ja_JP.eucJP, xcalendar-i18n refers resource included in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults. If LANG is not set or LANG is set expect for ja_JP.eucJP it refers resource in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. This is libX11's scheme. In default setting X resources files searching order is like this(for example xcalendar when set LANG=ja_JP.eucJP): $HOME/ja_JP.eucJP/XCalendar $HOME/ja/XCalendar $HOME/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar On the other hand, xfree86_4.0.1.deb set only #define XAppLoadDir EtcX11Directory/app-defaults in host.def, so X resource searching order is link this: $HOME/ja_JP.eucJP/XCalendar $HOME/ja/XCalendar $HOME/XCalendar /etc/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar /etc/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar is same because /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is symlink that point to /etc/X11/app-defaults. So, If a package two or more deferent X resource files which switching by using LANG environment, these resources placed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$LANG/app-defaults are NEVER used in xfree86_4.0.1.deb environment. I think better to set not only #define XAppLoadDir but also #define XFileSearchPathDefaul host.def If #define XFileSearchPathDefaul is set like this: #define XFileSearchPathDefault Concat4(EtcX11Directory/%L/%T/%N%C,%S:EtcX11Directory/%l/%T/%N%C,%S:EtcX11Directory/%T/%N%C,%S:EtcX11Directory/%L/%T/%N%S:EtcX11Directory/%l/%T/%N%S:EtcX11Directory/%T/%N%S):Concat4($(LIBDIR)/%L/%T/%N%C,%S:$(LIBDIR)/%l/%T/%N%C,%S:$(LIBDIR)/%T/%N%C,%S:$(LIBDIR)/%L/%T/%N%S:$(LIBDIR)/%l/%T/%N%S:$(LIBDIR)/%T/%N%S) X resource searching order is bellow: $HOME/ja_JP.eucJP/XCalendar $HOME/ja/XCalendar $HOME/XCalendar /etc/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults/XCalendar /etc/X11/ja/app-defaults/XCalendar /etc/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja/app-defaults/XCalendar /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XCalendar If the package's X resources installed into /etc/X11/ja_JP.eucJP/app-defaults and /etc/X11/app-defaults, X resource switching by using env LANG scheme will work correctly.

Congrats/Thanks, and a question...?
I've been lucky recently to cease co-habiting my desk with an AMD K6-2/350, and had that replaced with a new Dell 220 workstation (with a GeForce-2 video card along with other marvelous features). Reading the list (and reading the XFree lists) seemed to imply non-support for this video card, except for through the CVS version of XFree86 4.x.x; however, on upgrading to Branden's XFree86 4.0.1 debs, things look like they work somewhat well (I need to verify font-settings, and seeing a new format for the XF86Config file, after using the old one for nearly 8 years, was disorientating, but such is progress and lack of time). Should this indeed be so (support for GeForce-2 really exists)? Or is it that I've been lucky, and some of the bugs I'm seeing will improve? (I'll report on them when I get the time to verify that they are bugs or interaction problems rather than user idiocy). But nevertheless, Wowso. This is actually working, and was up and running really simply (apt is worthy of worship, nevermind how much hell it occassionally puts me through). best, -tony -- A.J. RossiniRsrch. Asst.

Voodoo 5 (tdfx) at 24 bpp and dexter
I've got a Voodoo 5, and dexter defaults to 24 bpp for the tdfx driver, which doesn't agree with the driver (I don't think it properly supports anything but 16 bpp at the moment) so I get pretty much nothing but garbage until I change DefaultDepth to 16 rather than 24. I think this might be a reasonable default, at least for tdfx. Also, somewhat off-topic: Has 3dfx sync'ed their trees for XF86 (ie: the X server on linux.3dfx.com) with the Xfree4 tree? I notice some jittering in 3d games, etc, and lack of performance, which isn't present in their XFCOM server.

Please, please work something out with Keith. I'm pretty stuck at this point; the spec is rather clear on this issue and the implementation has always been broken. X usually focuses on the spec, but in this case: 1) the implementation has always been broken. 2) the implementation was written *before* the spec. 3) the implementation is well behaved (and useful). 4) changing the implementation breaks most apps. Given the haphazard development of the spec, I'm tempted to ignore it in the case of Xt and focus on making applications function again. I'd also suggest editing the spec and making the existing behaviour standard. This will cause errors when VSW5 is run against our Xt version. I don't expect to hear any complaints on this list for breaking compliance with the Xt spec; unless people have serious objections, I think we should revert Xt to the original code. I have no objections to reverting the change, or attempting to get the spec modified. Thanks for suggesting a resolution I think we can all live with.

X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Atom id in failed request: 0x400 Serial number of failed request: 0 Current serial number in output stream: 29 ...and it quits. It used to work fine with a previous version of the X4.0.1 packages, but unfortunately I don't remember which version it was that started not working. At one point I was using the tdfx_dri.o module from the X 4.0.1 I had compiled myself before the phase2 packages began including it, and that worked fine. But now it does this same thing with either one I try. If I go back entirely to my compiled X, though, quake 3 works (though at half-speed, but that's something else entirely I think). Something odd, I just tried some other GL apps, (some GL xscreensavers, terminus, chromium-bsu) and they seem to be working fine... I've no idea why only quake 3 would refuse to work... I'd really appreciate it if anyone had any ideas or suggestions... Joel Fuster -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
