Well if upstream third party ports adopt libxo will remain to be seen. However, one thing we can do is to make it super-duper easy for them to incorporate. Then it will be a no-brainer for them to use libxo. I would like to see a Debian package of libxo made, so it can be incorporated into Debian and Ubuntu derived Linux distributions. I have done similar Debian packaging efforts for kyua, atf, and lutok: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773277 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773278 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773279 Does anyone have connections in the Debian community to push these kinds of reviews forward? I've asked on the debian-bsd mailing list, but got no help. I basically need a "Debian Developer" who has privileges to upload packages to the Debian distribution to take the packages that I have made and upload them (after making sure they pass lintian checks). I can take a whack and do something similar for libxo. I was actually very surprised at how hard/bureaucratic it is to get a new package into Debian. FreeBSD ports and Mac Homebrew are actually way easier to work with in terms of adding a new package. However, Debian and Ubuntu have a lot of users, so it is worth the effort to push this kind of stuff through. -- Craig ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

FWIW the nVidia driver docs indicate that you should comment, or remove the reference to dri in xorg.conf # Load "dri" but that dri2 is fine. Don't know that that has anything to do with your issue. But thought I'd mention it FWIW. --Chris > > > 6-Have you read 24.6.1 #13 in the Handbook? > > yes i've been doing that. > > > cheers, > david ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Honestly I won't define that word now cuz I'm busy with family, hence my bad english. I am not completely accurate with the technology so I do not know if there actually is a difference between xdm and xinit.

Since when is xorg.conf deprecated? While it is generally best to start out with no xorg.conf file, reality is that you will most likely need a small xorg.conf file with things like additional modules, additional fonts, setup of multiple displays, etc. As far as I know, the use of the nvidia driver requires an xorg.conf file in all cases. (I have not had an nVidia card for a few years, so this may have changed.) It is certainly a good idea to keep the xorg.conf file as small as possible. I am also confused by the series of "or"s in that xorg.conf is entirely orthogonal to whether X is started with "startx" or a display manager. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: upgrading current -> graphics bug
Hi Roberto, i just discovered, that when i stop xorg and unload the nvidia driver (kldunload nvidia) the problem goes away. 1-Is it a laptop, server or desktop? intel or amd? It's a desktop with an Intel chipset (Core i5-2500K cpu) 2-Are you building xorg as a port or installed a pre-compiled pkg? pre-compiled xorg pkg 3-Are you loading drm modules in /boot/loader.conf or do you let xorg auto load the kernel modules for your card? /boot/loader.conf loads the propietary NVidia driver: nvidia_load=YES and my xorg.conf also loads a nvidia driver: Driver "nvidia" 4-What graphics card is it? ATI or NVIDIA? it's a GeForce GTX 760 PCIe card 5-Are you configuring xorg with xorg.conf(deprecated) or starting xorg with 'startx'(xinit) or are you using a display manager(xdm)? i started with a barebones xorg.conf and had to put in the monitor h-sync and v-sync values. i've attached the file. 6-Have you read 24.6.1 #13 in the Handbook? yes i've been doing that. cheers, david Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" # fix: mouse stops working ...
