RE: Xrandr developer
Jim Gettys and Keith Packard are teh main protagonists, however Jim has been busy recuperating from a broken ankle, and Keith has been involved in some political stuff - see the 'forum' mailing for details. It seems the best thing to do at the moment is for those of us interested in XRandR development to get together, plan out some work, log bugs/features in bugzilla and then do some coding. I'm interested in making it work with xinerama, whats your interest?

Xvideo patch for R128
[I didn't see anything specific for patches on http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo (and I haven't been keeping track of the recent list changes), so I hope this is ok to post here.] Here is a patch against XFree86 4.3.0 (from the xf-4_3_0 cvs tag). The problem is that at high screen resolutions (i.e., with a high dot-clock), if the ECP divisor is set wrong, images displayed with the XVideo extension have weird green noise in them (vertical green static that appears to be over or between the pixels). Alternatively, if the ECP divisor was somehow set correctly before XFree86 4.3.0 starts (e.g., with Windows or GATOS), then the symptom is that only the left half (or third) of the image is displayed when using Xvideo (because h_inc is computed wrong).

This is probably because nobody really is, and because the DDC code is not really used right now. The standard open source reply is : you are interested in this ? you just have become the official expert on it. :) Anyway, the way i see it is that each driver should provide a DDC/I2C bus reading functions, which already exist, altough if i take example on the glint driver, it is filled at the end of PreInit, which is a bit late. Then, maybe before or during xf86ValidateModes, you would also call some monitor code, which would read information about the attached monitor of each head, and use the information to limit the possible available monitor modes, with a possibility to override this from the configuration file, if need be. Currently, at least for the glint driver, the DDC/I2C info is read at ModeInit time, which is too late to do anything apart print the result of the edid read.

Re: error building shared libXau
Frank Liu wrote (in a message from Monday 31) I am trying to enable building shared lib for libXau, but got an error: ... gcc -o ./libXau.so.6.0~ -shared -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-soname,libXau.so.6 AuDispose.o AuFileName.o AuGetAddr.o AuGetBest.o AuLock.o AuRead.o AuUnlock.o AuWrite.o + rm -f libXau.so.6 + ln -s libXau.so.6.0 libXau.so.6 + rm -f ../../exports/lib/libXau.so.6 + cd ../../exports/lib /bin/sh: cd: /home/fliu/src/x/xc/exports/lib - No such file or directory apparently nobody created the directory ../../exports/lib I am wondering why I didn't get this error for building other shared libs such as those default libs that have shared enabled? Any ideas? Looks like a bug in many *lib.rules configuration files. The LinkBuildSonameLibrary() macro doesn't build the export/lib directory first. (The LinkBuildLibrary() macro used by non-shared libs does). It currently works with other shared libraries because the 1st built library is precisely libXau and its normally built non-shared only, so its build rule will indeed create the export/lib directory. If the 1st built library is shared and since the shared target appears 1st in Library.tmpl, the directory isn't created. This should be fixed.
