Capturing events from the root window
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for asking such a question, but I found nothing so far on the web and so I hope to get some answers at the core of X. If this is not the correct forum I would really appreciate it if you could point me to where I can ask this question. I'm developing an application which needs to filter all mouse events even when it's window is not active. So I tried to grab the pointer and redirect it to my app. This works, but the problem I have is that of course X doesn't work as long as my app is active because it gets all events and the other apps none. I was looking into the Xlib reference manuals if there is some way to forward or return the XEvent to X again so it can be processed the normal way. In Windows I do this with a hook function which allows me to specify that an event is either passed on, or will be discarded after my hookfunction returns. I wonder if there is a similar mechanism for X. I was looking into GDK, as this would be my prefered way of doing it, but I would settle for a Xlib solution as well if there is no other way. So what I need is either a way to simply filter events and block them on request (prefered) or grab all the input and forward it to the original owner if I'm not interested in it. Can this be done with X and/or GDK/GTK? If I know how to do it in X I could probably figure out how to do it in GDK/GTK as well, but I've been searching the web for several days now and I couldn't find anything helpfull. There seem to be many workarounds for similar problems but none that works for me, though. Thanks for your help. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It looks like the stack is trashed pretty badly. This appears to be a recent regression. It looks like a malloc/free bug -- maybe a double free somewhere. I see it crashing in free(), called from CMapUnwrapScreen(). If I add some debugging ErrorF's the caller of the crashing free() moves. I'll try a build on FreeBSD and enable some of its malloc debugging flags. That located the problem nicely, aborting at the actual double-free. The screen saver timers get freed in TimerInit() for each generation. However, the timer pointers kept by the screen saver code weren't being cleared for each generation, so the old values kept being used and added back to the timers list. Then they'd get freed again in TimerInit() at the second regeneration. Not to mention that freed memory was still being used. I'm going to commit a fix that clears the Screensaver and DPMS timers at each regeneration. David Is this fix available as a single patch?

Re: Capturing events from the root window
I dont think you will need to poll ... I definittly don't want to poll. That's the ugliest solution that I can think of. :) Also polling doesn't solve the problem of capturing the event as I want it. If I want to take the event for myself then the app shouildn't get it. The app should only get it when I decided that I don't need it. If I have to go this way, then I would rather start a seperate thread with it's own XEvent loop, which is much better for performance and doesn't waste time on polling. you say you already manage to grab them , so then you only need to decide to sent them back or not. Yes. I the XLib function XSendEvent is capable to re-generate the uninteressting event`s and sent them I already tried XSendEvent, but it didn't work out as I expected it. But this may be more a problem of me then of the function. :) When I recive the event it will be filled with all the event data. There are some field in it that tells me the window where the event belong, but this will be alwayxs the root window in my case, right? So when I send the event back with XSendEvent then I will receive it promptly because I capture all events. The proper solution would require 1) that I either determine where the event really belongs to or to 2) send it back telling X that I'm not interested in it and it should pass it on to where it belongs after me. Of course 2 would be prefereable. In case of 1 I wonder how to do it. I don't want to re-implement X in that I should decide which window is visible at where the mousepointer is and send it on to that window (I will investigate this though). I also tried to use XPushBackEvent and then disconnected from the server, then made a small delay and reconnected again. This also didn't work out, because the event was lost, though I would have expected that it should have been put back in the X queue. back to where it should belong ... just make sure that you also investigate all the other things of the event so that you can aftwards generate a proper new one .. The problem is - how can I detect where the event originally belonged to? i believe this special hook part is best done in pure Xlib ... maybe aftwards you can generate GTK - events again , but hooking all events should not a GTK thing I implemented a small test app in pure X. I think I can work my way upwards once I have a solution on that level. But it may not even neccessary. I could also live without that and find another way to feed my app with the event that I capture, so I don't think that this will be the problem (I could be wrong on that, though :) ). As long as I don't have even one solution on any level I don't know how to proceed. That's why I though this list would be a good place to ask, because I thought that here should be many people familiar with X. :) ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

On PPC PCI config space data gets obtained thru the kernel, therefore it is even harder to understand. Also could you please run 'scanpci -v'? In case you missed my previous mail, it appears that mbase0==0 is something to do with the as69030 kernel framebuffer driver i'm running. If i compile a kernel without fbdev, pci probing works fine. I've stepped though the failure case in xf86scanpci(). It's 0 because when we read the config space from the device into devp-cfgspc.dwords, we read 0 for the word corresponding to MBASE0, so defintly seems like some kind of hardware config level issue. Note that I have 2x69030's on this board, so perhaps intersting stuff happens because of that. i note that only the 1st device gets read as 0x, the second device gets correctly read as 0xfb00! One solution I'm considering is to use the framebuffer interface to mmap the device if the framebuffer driver is availiable, and using the current scheme if not. Unfortunatly I still get issues even with an non fbdev kernel. I think this is due to the fact that the big-endian hack (+0x80) only really works on a couple of HiQV chips. On the as69030, it uses 1st 8 Meg for Pipe A and 2nd 8 meg for Pipe B. There *is* a single pipe mode where it will put a byte swapped frame buffer at +0x80, but thats all (no registers), and obviously that isn't much use. So, I guess I'll be going though the driver and checking all its byte-swapping macros are properly in place, stripping out the +0x80 hack, and just telling X the correct pixel bit ordering!

After I commented out this code I ran into other problems. You may comment out this code for testing, however one should try to understand why this code is causing problems. so I correct myself. looks like its nothing to do with the kernel framebuffer driver. it mroe to do with the state the card gets left in after being half configured *phew*!! so thats makes life a bit easier - i just need to fix the card configuration! This should not happen. It can only happen when the Xserver has the ROM BIOS mapped. Judging from your log that shouldn't happen. Can you find out where it happens? You can hardcode a test for the relevant PCI config space register and PCI tag in the appropriate PciWrite() function and call a function you can breakpoint from gdb. There are three functions for this purpose: xf86Break1/2/3(). Cheers, Egbert. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
glxgears lock up MDK9.2 with radeon 9200
Hi all, I just installed a MDK 9.2, and as the agpgart module seems OK with my nForce2 chipset, I also loaded DRI. All logs are OK, the dri modules load correctly; but if I launch glxgears it locks up solid (hard reset only to get rid of it). I use the radeon driver of MDK9.2 for my radeon 9200 (from chaintech IIRC). Have you heard of something similar ? I kind of imagine that this could be because of agpgart which is not really happy with the nforce2 AGP feature.

Back to working on cross compile for Au1100 mips CPU
Hi, After attempting to build XFree86 on my AMD Au1100 development board I was able to get a clean build up to the point of the final linkage. I found that there is not enough memory available to link successfully on the development board. So, I'm working on getting cross-compiling working correctly again. Host system is SuSE 8.2 and I'm using the Timesys mips-el toolchain. I've followed most of the information in the Cygwin notes on Cross Compiling, filtering out the things that appear to be Cygwin specific. It is almost working, but I'm encountering a problem when the cc command attempts to invoke ld to link. Everything appears to be working fine, the proper compiler is being invoked, include and lib paths up to this point all are pointed into my mips directories as would be expected. But when ld gets invoked instead of the cross binary ld I'm getting my suse i486 version executed and it also appears that the suse i486 gcc-lib path is also being used. I have cross.def set up with all include, libs, tools, etc., pointing to my mips cross-compile directories and tools. I've created sym links for the cross-compile tools in the cross-compile bin directory as directed in the Cygwin notes. I'm doing make World CROSSCOMPILEDIR=path to my cross compile bin dir Looking at the generated xmakefile everything looks ok, as the path / tool references are there. But I must be missing something since it is choking by running the wrong 'ld' executable and also referencing the wrong library path for gcc-lib. Can someone suggest where I might look for an answer to resolve this problem? Thanks, Burt ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
