XFree86 4.0.1 doesn't detect Permedia2 chip
Hi Folks, now that Branden has released XF 4.0.1 into Woody, I thought I'd give it a try on my development workstation as well (it has been working fine on some other machines for quite some time now, going thru most of Brandens phase-1 and -2 releases). This box is equipped with a Permedia2 board which IMHO is supposed to be supported but somehow the Xserver claims not to find any matching device. I've attached all relevant configuration information and logs. Maybe someone of the nice people on this list has an idea of what is going on here ? My only idea of what it might be is that I've fb support for the PM2 into the kernel. I'll build another kernel without it immediately after sending off this mail to see wether it helps. The kernel I im trying to use it with is 2.4.0-test10 Cheers Mike XFree86 Version 4.0.1d / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 27 October 2000 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Re: XFree86 4.0.1 with Intel I810
Greetings Theppitak; I have two guesses to the source of your problem. The first possibility is the "vbe" module is not being loaded, but the i810 driver is trying to load something that deals with vbe. Try adding the following to your Module section: Load "vbe" The second possibility is your kernel version has a different AGPGART interface than X expects. I currently run X4.0.1-1 on Linux 2.4.0-test10 with good results. I have heard that recent versions of 2.2 (2.2.17 or so?) also work well. You need to compile AGP support into your kernel (either directly in, or as a module, I believe. I would suggest module to help keep the size of the kernel small), and your kernel needs to be recent enough. (Also ensure the /dev/agpgart file is a character file with reasonable permissions. :) There is another possibility that something else entirely is the cause, in which case I wish you luck. :) * Theppitak Karoonboonayanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [001107 03:22]: Section "Module" # This loads the DBE extension module.

XFree 4 breakage
Hello all. I just upgraded to X4 over the weekend, and now, with the same settings just transfered to the new config file, my X config is broke.

S3ViRGE probs/soln at high bpp keymap question
hiya i had some problems with xfree86 (debs, v 4.0.1-1) and a Genesis S3 ViRGE 86c325, and initially it only did 8bpp with the dexter generated XF86Config-4. (XF86Config, XFree86 log and lspci -v | grep VGA are all below). at higher bpps (16 and 24 at 1152x864 or whatever) i got horizontal mangling. all settings are the same as for 3.3.6 otherwise. fix for me was to try copying the 16bpp entry in XF86Config to a 15bpp entry - this worked fine and gave me more than a couple hundred colours; hope that helps anyone else having the same problem for the meantime. i have another card of the same here which i can try if that's any help, but this works for me at the moment. i still can't get XFree86 to recognise my meta key however. have tried installing a complete xmodmap file for a microsoft natural (which i believe my kb to be a clone of, and this driver worked fine under 3.3.6) in /etc/X11/Xmodmap and ~/.Xmodmap (and ~/.xmodmap-`uname -a` too), but it doesn't seem to pick up. has anyone else had this problem and found a cure? i've currently got task-helix-gnome installed; apt-get install task-x-window-system wants to remove task-helix-gnome and gdm and friends so i haven't run it.

Shaya, please do not email Branden. He gets too much email.
In direct response to your questions, you can find out what has made it
into Branden's Debian packaging by checking both
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/CHANGELOG.gz and changelog.Debian.gz. Also
of (marginal) interest are CHANGELOG.ND.gz and CHANGELOG.R5.gz.
To see what patches Branden has applied himself, you can use either
apt-get source or download the .diffs.
Also, if you knew the date the Radeon support was added, you could check
that against the date of 4.0.1-1's entrance into Debian -- Branden
mailed info about this on November second, so it would make good sense
that he froze the code at some time before then. (Based on CHANGELOG.gz,
my guess puts that date at October 27.)

I'm not sure you would be so happy to be recieving e-mail from me, but I
have a question about your X packages. I noticed from following your
prereleases, that the debian packages aren't xfree's 4.0.1 release, but
follow alot of what was going on in the CVS. I was wondering if you had a
list of what patches went into the debian package, or if you knew if the
Debian package supports ATI's Radeon chip, as it appears Xfree's CVS has
support for it now.
thanks for your time.

The first possibility is the "vbe" module is not being loaded, but the i810 driver is trying to load something that deals with vbe. Try adding the following to your Module section: Load "vbe" That's fine. The error messages regarding vbe have gone. But new messages ask for xf86InitInt10, xf86Int10AllocPages, xf86ExecX86int10, xf86int10Addr, xf86Int10FreePages, and xf86InterpretEDID symbols. What module(s) to add more? The second possibility is your kernel version has a different AGPGART interface than X expects. I currently run X4.0.1-1 on Linux 2.4.0-test10 with good results. I have heard that recent versions of 2.2 (2.2.17 or so?) also work well. You need to compile AGP support into your kernel (either directly in, or as a module, I believe. I would suggest module to help keep the size of the kernel small), and your kernel needs to be recent enough. (Also ensure the /dev/agpgart file is a character file with reasonable permissions. :) OK. Now I'm replying mail from rxvt on my X window.

Re: [andrew_pmk@hotmail.com: Forward Backspace (**annoying**)]
Andrew, you are in luck! The FAQ.gz file shipped with Debian's packaging of XFree86 is *EXTREMELY* detailed in this regard. On my system, this FAQ is located at /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz. Look about 513 lines into the thing. Of course, if this isn't the location of the FAQ or the description on your machine, you will have to get creative with grep and zgrep to find backspace in the documentation that came with your .deb package of X. If you want more information about the whole backspace/delete issue, try typing backspace delete X into your search engine of choice. Sure, the first few hits on Google aren't in my primary language, but it has options to limit the search to my primary language. I don't know about yours, of course, but my guess says it might. If not, altavista is a good second choice. A third place to look for information is the xmodmap(1x) manual page -- it looks like it was written to handle just this situation. (Though its whatis information doesn't list either. Pity.) And, as a last bit of information -- please do not mail Branden directly. He gets more than enough email and doesn't have enough hours in the day to answer them all.

Forwarding X bugs here?
Hi Branden, I was grepping debian-bugs-dist for X bugs and I was wondering if you were willing to set the maintainer of the X packages to something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have the bugs copied over here. This is a lot more reliable than trying to set up some filter to do it and would make it easier for people to discuss bugs and/or provide feedback. Of course, it also would mean that things like [EMAIL PROTECTED] would also get copied over here, which you might or might not like. The other problem would be that dinstall would start considering Branden's uploads as NMUs wrt (closes: bug#n), IIRC. Two random cents, -- Marcelo

Re: X3.6/4 (woody) ct-Driver lockups
Just now, i am in large struggle with my notebook. I did an ordinary update within woody and discovered X4 in it . Wow! But: I have a chipstechnologies 6 , that usually was covered by the XF_SVGA-Driver. Now, since 3.3.6-12 support has been vanished. oops. OK, i wanted to test X4, but here i get a total system-lockup when trying to use the chips driver. The log ist not closed, so i cant post it :-( My machine also freezes completely when I try the new X. I have the same card, the CT6, in my Transmonde laptop, and the machine dies when I run startx or /etc/init.d/xdm start. It does successfully run X -probeonly. The programs dexter, X -configure, and xf86config all run without error, but the config files they produce all cause my machine to freeze. (The xf86cfg program itself locks up the machine too.) I've also tried various manual tweaks to the config file, e.g. NoAccel, UseVclk1, noBitBlt, noMMIO, etc, but I still get consistent crashes. So, two questions: 1) Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? 2) What's the easiest way to downgrade to the old version X? Incidentally, a brief attempt to get the new svga driver to work failed as well. I've attached the output from X -probeonly -verbose 9 and one version of the various XF86Config files that I've tried. Note that I have to specify my chipset explicitly, or X thinks I have a ct69000 for some reason. But I also tried letting X think that, and it still crashes. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Re: XFree86 4.0.1 with Intel I810
Greetings Theppitak; I have two guesses to the source of your problem. The first possibility is the vbe module is not being loaded, but the i810 driver is trying to load something that deals with vbe. Try adding the following to your Module section: Load vbe The second possibility is your kernel version has a different AGPGART interface than X expects. I currently run X4.0.1-1 on Linux 2.4.0-test10 with good results. I have heard that recent versions of 2.2 (2.2.17 or so?) also work well. You need to compile AGP support into your kernel (either directly in, or as a module, I believe. I would suggest module to help keep the size of the kernel small), and your kernel needs to be recent enough. (Also ensure the /dev/agpgart file is a character file with reasonable permissions. :) There is another possibility that something else entirely is the cause, in which case I wish you luck. :) * Theppitak Karoonboonayanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [001107 03:22]: Section Module # This loads the DBE extension module.

XFree 4 breakage
Hello all. I just upgraded to X4 over the weekend, and now, with the same settings just transfered to the new config file, my X config is broke. Specifically, the screen comes up but in a way such that I have one pointer but four mini-screens, which only respond to clicks where the real screen would put them. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but it sounds like there might be a bug in XF4 responsible. I'll follow up a little later with my XF86Config-4 file (sorry I don't have it now, my home box is PPP and I'm at school). -Scott Fenton -- -BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org mQGiBDmoHL8RBACt7yc65iKzR4IW2kKF0wjfZlRVwcwEws6HueM9uKF6HCzyFtyM XJiHz8f3LI2NY/GedfF+XTFc2zQlPummiOrHfAx9Y2hV4ajEpxNgqm36BT21vLuI iTB6roHHm+EiK9dRINyc+kB4v5QV5S9BGxPuygm/3yLZLmGH6RUmSxis1wCgvGnX n3qhbP7Yf/mLO1Du3oEJhR8EAI+TFhyxg3y2xv++xCxKOL9ofF+wPA4EkXPCAokW 10hDmeGY246wOMPWC0Hou1QJqqRN82n5BbJAzUnE/Iht82SEJgM1vhIbp0uShUdS jzKPnBBUTzLQFPbAG9hDaU/98JklsyDIbacavCuCtky6Xs/wmPjESUJsIl6FiHRv Uz9jA/96nxsDQ8YMEr51F3sHubn7BwrYqGOZLT5btLMG1i9OnWyy0npQ5wKvM2bT t2i6QPcHydTAkX+DLXQv8UeJE+Qpq+duoofMpxdFOKgqW3x0kKWGP14UoOqSQFGL K4fStiwR7fCtExrMFKUHaP5Sij7v8VoyBtyK+w45LoWFFXsPeLQhU2NvdHQgRmVu dG9uIDxzajEyZm5AcmFzY2hrZS5uZXQ+iFYEExECABYFAjmoHL8ECwoEAwMVAwID FgIBAheAAAoJEGtrXbm1pSX6WZoAnRzHUYn+/MSVAsmK7bLJrAfmn8Y+AJ4uzZEX OxVuc0sGg/J0AqlYNpMcqrkBDQQ5qBzcEAQAhJgZzAKBjuKwS0owgknuN+5kSu9U tk75ZKRpBMTFfW1Js2E5v96M3Z4XAvyJFhQYaXWZn0QQY4PkrbbfKib4X3Onn/Gx M1mdtWKAXxb1+JuEH/dpVemt2EDLn6b2VVI5iE6U0HcrJjkvt7DLKsvQFRnnqd6M SHdN3XmxhY+VakcAAwUD/iTTv+fpM+Nn2izo7z0BmRu/+GwQgvOF8Qc+8YA6JgaA UUrD7nO3xUpkoK6gr1se2Wu98BFv2GSKRZZF9QljXn2vGNreYRRI9ZhWpKm3zflz uC7lz63QaiZdAPup37yWYXyaAvUvYufORC4hS9mZUgKbbOC+O6xdzkLBerBk/FK+ iEYEGBECAAYFAjmoHNwACgkQa2tdubWlJfqAvQCfWMWnlCab4pUJEvE4gjSFJ+EV 5LsAn2yeJT+7MWYKIQpPmGMMjeGkykK1 =tjOP -END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-
S3ViRGE probs/soln at high bpp keymap question
hiya i had some problems with xfree86 (debs, v 4.0.1-1) and a Genesis S3 ViRGE 86c325, and initially it only did 8bpp with the dexter generated XF86Config-4. (XF86Config, XFree86 log and lspci -v | grep VGA are all below). at higher bpps (16 and 24 at 1152x864 or whatever) i got horizontal mangling. all settings are the same as for 3.3.6 otherwise. fix for me was to try copying the 16bpp entry in XF86Config to a 15bpp entry - this worked fine and gave me more than a couple hundred colours; hope that helps anyone else having the same problem for the meantime. i have another card of the same here which i can try if that's any help, but this works for me at the moment. i still can't get XFree86 to recognise my meta key however. have tried installing a complete xmodmap file for a microsoft natural (which i believe my kb to be a clone of, and this driver worked fine under 3.3.6) in /etc/X11/Xmodmap and ~/.Xmodmap (and ~/.xmodmap-`uname -a` too), but it doesn't seem to pick up. has anyone else had this problem and found a cure? i've currently got task-helix-gnome installed; apt-get install task-x-window-system wants to remove task-helix-gnome and gdm and friends so i haven't run it.

voodoo3 libgl error in woody xf4
Greetings, i have recently installed the woody xf4 debs my system with a voodoo3 card and things are working fine, except for opengl acceleration. my kernel: 2.4.0-test10 w/ tdfx compiled into the kernel (and agppart enabled) vid card: voodoo3 2000 agp mobo: asus a7v basically, drm/dri seems to initialize fine: (0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) TDFX(0): [drm] Registers = 0xde00 Driver provided NonTEGlyphRenderer replacement (0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler (0): [DRI] installation complete (from XFree86.log) However, GL programs (xscreensaver hacks, etc) do not run accelerated. I get the following results: $ export LIBGL_DEBUG=on $ gears libGL error: dlopen failed: undefined symbol:_trisetup_Default_win_nocull_valid and glxinfo reports: display: :0.0 screen:0 direct rendering: No any suggestions would be _greatly_ appreciated. i can send full XFree86.log (though i don't think there are no EE or relavent WW lines) or /XF86Config-4 if it'd help... thanks in advance. -jamie walker [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Shaya, please do not email Branden. He gets too much email. In direct response to your questions, you can find out what has made it into Branden's Debian packaging by checking both /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/CHANGELOG.gz and changelog.Debian.gz. Also of (marginal) interest are CHANGELOG.ND.gz and CHANGELOG.R5.gz. To see what patches Branden has applied himself, you can use either apt-get source or download the .diffs. Also, if you knew the date the Radeon support was added, you could check that against the date of 4.0.1-1's entrance into Debian -- Branden mailed info about this on November second, so it would make good sense that he froze the code at some time before then. (Based on CHANGELOG.gz, my guess puts that date at October 27.) - Forwarded message from Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - Forwarded message from Shaya Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I'm not sure you would be so happy to be recieving e-mail from me, but I have a question about your X packages.

Try google, usenet, gcc mailling lists, perhaps debian-user. (Sadly, the gcc manpage didn't seem to shout the right answer to me. It did mention loads of other CPU types though...) Sure that may be the case. But maybe there is somebody also trying to figure out which compiler flags to use to get the most optimized *.deb files for XF and maybe also doing benchmarks on it.

Re: Backspace=delete: missing xkb file
* Andrew MacKinnon [EMAIL PROTECTED] [001107 12:36]: On my computer, when you start X the backspace key produces delete. I have checked this with xev. I have noticed, upon starting X, an error message that /usr/lib/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp doesn't exist. I have recently installed a new version of X debian linux. Do you know what this file is and/or what it should be? It seems to be calling this file as a shell script. If this is the case, then something is broke badly -- my machine doesn't even have a /usr/lib/X11R6/ directory. That your machine wants something there is very odd. (Now, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp would be understandable, though I was under the impression that this directory was supposed to have been moved to /etc/X11/xkb. Branden?) Was your setup a migration from an earlier phase1- or phase2- package? Or did it come from a direct upgrade from 3.3.X? -- ``Oh Lord; Ooh you are so big; So absolutely huge; Gosh we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you.''
