I don't see that message with xterm. TWM menus don't work though. But, if I run TWM remotely from another machine it works. I think that implies that it's a problem with the local libraries. Another data point, is a test app that opens "fixed" seems to work fine, so it's not the case that aliases are broken in general - just in some cases. Bukie, how long have you been seeing this problem? I updated yesterday and saw it for the first time. The last time I updated was Nov 26. so that gives a pretty large window.

Re: Small issue in the ati/radeon dga driver

Although here the variable is a 32 bit integer, later in the dga library this value is truncated to a 16 bit integer, causing the driver to report the imageHeight as zero. I added a single line beneath Line 144 to clamp the value to the max a 16 bit iteger can hold; if (currentMode->imageHeight > 0x) currentMode->imageHeight = 0x; This fixes the problem for my radeon, but I think the other ati drivers may suffer from the same problem, but I do not have the hardware to test. Note that the Radeon 2D engine only supports signed 14 bit coordinates. That's a good point, but not one against changing common code to at least clamp coordinates to the 16 bits the protocol handles. I've just committed the "central" change for this, (Xext/xf86dga2.c). As for lower 2D engine specific limits, they should only be enforced when the engine would actually be used for a particular DGA mode. Usually, but not always, that's when the mode's DGA_CONCURRENT_ACCESS is off.

Window managers claim they can't find fontsets like fixed so menus and such have no text in them. xfontsel seems to work though. Anyone know what's going on? It's like the fonts.alias isn't being read anymore. I can see fixed in the fonts.alias and I can see the corresponding font in the fonts.dir and I can see that the font file exists and can verify that the server acknowledged that font path. I am looking into a similar problem too, when xfs is not running. I've been able to make the fontset message appear with a simple test case (holding down the control key and pressing any mouse button while the pointer is in an xterm).

How to draw a line without a Drawable
I want to draw a line across the entire screen, including all windows and the desktop but I'm not sure how to achieve this. Any suggestions? Should I use SDL? Thanks. Steve. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: X Scroll Event
Thanks. I actually ended up using the XTest extention but this probably would have worked to. Steve. Loic Grenie wrote: I want to generate a Scroll event (identical to a scroll wheel on a mouse) but from software. Is there a function that will let me do this? I know there is XWarpPointer to move the pointer and XSendEvent but I'm not sure how to generate a scroll event. Any info apprectiated. Does a Scroll event in X mean the same thing as is sent from a mouse's scroll wheel? Or is there another meaning (Like scrolling around a destop)? The wheel is just seen as a couple of buttons, usually button 4 for up and 5 for down. You cannot generate "scroll" events but you can generate "scroll wheel" events by generating button 4 and/or 5 events. Be aware that an application is free to ignore "synthetic" events, that is: events generated by other applications.
