Bug#378081: Cannot read V_BIOS memory allocation error

MZ I don't know yet how stable the solution is but the X server at
MZ least starts and seems to work on the first glance, including 3D
MZ acceleration, on my secondary graphics card and the Cannot read
MZ V_BIOS error message is gone.  

When an X server is running and I start another one on the other
graphics card, input devices (keyboard and mouse) of the first X server
stop working.

I guess it has nothing to do with the patch, but it's a bug anyway.

Actually the X server freezes completely.

Bug#378081: Cannot read V_BIOS memory allocation error

2006-07-17 Thread Milan Zamazal
I had the same problem.  I've finally solved it (I hope) by applying the
patch

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=86821

from

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=171453x=0y=0

to xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-9 (it required some manual adjustments).  I
don't know yet how stable the solution is but the X server at least
starts and seems to work on the first glance, including 3D acceleration,
on my secondary graphics card and the Cannot read V_BIOS error message
is gone.  My Linux kernel version is 2.6.17-3.

75dpi, 100dpi, misc -- which one?

2002-02-09 Thread Milan Zamazal

[Please CC me.]

In the `intlfonts' package I maintain, there is a lot of fonts, without
being classified by their dpi.  So I'd like to know how can I find out
the resolution of an X11 font?

I guess the resolution is defined by the SIZE parameter in the BDF file.
Is it right?  If so, then I have another question.  There is a lot of
various numbers there, including 72, 75, 80, 100, and 150.  Where should
the fonts with the resolution different of 75 and 100 go to?  (`misc' is
defined as the place for character-cell fonts, cursor fonts, and other
low-resolution fonts by Debian Policy, so it doesn't look to me like
the right place generally.)

Thanks,

Milan Zamazal
