Yeah, Im seeing this too.  Its a hardlock from what I can tell.  I used
to see this with 2.4.21-pre series kernels plus xfree86 4.2.* as well.
But with 4.3 I see it with 2.4.19 as well. I also use the drm modules
from the 4.3 package.  Im cc-ing debian-x as people there might be able
to better help.

When I saw this thread I grabed the xlibmesa4-drm-src package and
untared it and all, but I cant figure out for the life of me how to
compile it and install it into my kernel.  Ive read the readme in the
source directory, and that is absolutely no help.  Ive also gone to
dri.sf.net and cant find any documentation on how to build this stuff
outside the xfree86 source tree.  Ive even tried copying it into the
kernel source tree(because it builds alot faster than the xfree86
sources do) and the build fails(this is with 2.4.21-pre7).  Any help on
how to build these would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

I don't think this will help the situation because I have a
kernel-headers-* package already installed and it still bombs out on
apt-get build-deps.  And I see that it breaks auto-building on the
sbuild, so I think you should probably leave it the way it was(IMHO).

What information do you need?  When I type startx as a normal user the
xserver looks like its going to start up then just dies with the only
message on the screen being that It is waiting for X to die.  Then when
I startx as root the server comes up and everything works properly,
except for the fact that KDE freezes and the xserver has to be killed. 
Root seems to have KDE setup as its default environment(probably because
Im using KDM) and I have gnome-session setup as mine.  I diffed the
XFree86.0.log s from each time and I did not get any difference except
the header line which contained the time.  I can use xinit to start the
xserver as the normal user then start a gnome-session from the xterm. 
Then everything seems to work just fine.

I thought this as well, but the system operation as a whole is much
slower than with the old xfree86 debs.  There is more memory usage(main
memory not the card's memory) as well as programs taking forever to
start.  Before I could expect things like galeon to come up in less than
5 seconds but now it is taking as much as 20 seconds.  I dont know if
this is directly related to the xserver, but it wasnt happening till
after I instaled it.  Though the lines that appeared after windows while
dragging them have significantly diminished as well as a few other
annoyances with the old xserver.  Is there anyway I can tell for sure if
Im using hardware acceleration? A way to turn it on if Im not?

This was the first thing I tried, but it wants to remove about 80 other
packages that Im guessing depend on having an xserver installed.  I
still do have Branden's debs installed, but it still wants to remove a
bunch of packages.  I still would like to get hardware acceleration
working, but is there anyway to switch between the two?  Like using
update alternatives to point to Branden's xserver and switch it to
accelerated xserver when I want the hardware acceleration?  Thanks.

I upgraded recently to these deb on my radeon 7000 system.  Now after
upgrade XF86 no longer comes up automatically and I cannot start it with
startx as a normal user, though root can.  xinit does bring up XF86
though. When using startx the x server fails silently with out any
errors or warnings.  I also cannot find a difference in the log files
between startx as a normal user and startx as root.  I also have noticed
a slow down in the system as a whole.  Any advice on what I should do?
Maybe someone could tell me how to simply remove these debs and replace
them with Branden's(which work wonderfully without any problems on this
system).  I would appreciate any help I could get.  Thankyou.

The same thing happened to me.  It hung on the first reboot(first time I
restarted the X server since the upgrade).  It was totally dead.  I had
to force the reboot.  Then when it came back up I told it to kill the x
server from the start.  Then I realized that I had made some
modifications by hand to the config files.  I went back in a did a
dpkg-reconfigure on the x server.  I fixed the problem and then did a
startx.  Everything went fine.  I thought it was something to do with my
screw up, but if someone else is expierinceing it then perhaps its a bug
of some sort.  I can downgrade and try the upgrade again if branden
wants me too.  I have the time if anyone has a question.

The same thing happened to me.  It hung on the first reboot(first time I
restarted the X server since the upgrade).  It was totally dead.  I had
to force the reboot.  Then when it came back up I told it to kill the x
server from the start.  Then I realized that I had made some
modifications by hand to the config files.  I went back in a did a
dpkg-reconfigure on the x server.  I fixed the problem and then did a
startx.  Everything went fine.  I thought it was something to do with my
screw up, but if someone else is expierinceing it then perhaps its a bug
of some sort.  I can downgrade and try the upgrade again if branden
wants me too.  I have the time if anyone has a question.

ATI Radeon VE

2002-03-11 Thread Scott Henson
I have a Radeon VE that under windows has support to extend a desktop
across two heads and then display a totally different screen(a DVD
image) to a third head.  I was wondering if anyone had any information
on doing this under X.  I have heard of many people doing this with
matrox cards and I have done that myself, but what I really want is that
third head to display DVD playback.  Any suggestions?  Thanks
