[Newbie]Compiling X 4.2
Hi, I have some question on compiling X, my box is Linux RedHat7.2 based (with a lot of changes.) The previous version I use is XFree864.1 and now I want to compile XFree86-4.2.1. I've copied the xf86site.def as host.def. And modify the host.def as I wanted, I 'make World' than. And it reports " Full build of Release 6.6 of the X Window System complete. " So, I assume it really build complete, but actually, I find libX11.so doesn't exists at all. I find that, many other libraries are there, but just libX11. I think it may be due to my misconfig'd host.def, isn't?? Which option is related to this problem, I have revisit the host.def, but have no idea!! Also, it seems that, a lot of option inside host.def can control the build product. In other words, the option is instructing the build script to build something or not to something. Where is the definitive list of those option? 'xf86site.def'??

This is really a newbie question. But where do you download the development package för xfree86? I have looked for days all over the internet. So, can som kind soul point me to the actual file? _ På MSN hittar du det roliga, intressanta och användbara på internet: http://www.msn.se ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
[Newbie]i845 chipset
I'm sure that this is an old topic by now, but I am still unable to make X work on my Dell 4500S. What I have done (or attempted to do): Upgrade the kernel to 2.4.19 with patch 2.4.20pre8 I have downloaded the main trunk from CVS and compiled it. Compiled the i830 driver as described at http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html (though I'm not sure that it worked) I can't seem to get my system to recognize the i830 (or i845 which I am guessing are similar). Any links to tutorials that might be useful will be appreciated.

As a temporary workaround, try one or more of the following XF86Config device section options: Option "XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill" Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect" Marc. +--+---+ | Marc Aurele La France | work: 1-780-492-9310 | | Computing and Network Services | fax:1-780-492-1729 | | 352 General Services Building | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | University of Alberta +---+ | Edmonton, Alberta | | | T6G 2H1 | Standard disclaimers apply| | CANADA | | +--+---+ XFree86 Core Team member.

[Newbie]X Displaying Badly
Addendum to my original message... I tried again with the same settings as before but a different monitor plugged in (KDS Avitron 17"). Changing the monitor produced a different result. The column swapping appeared during boot and at the command line, but once XFree86 was started, the column swapping disappeared and fonts, cursors, etc appeared fine...except the colors were random as if the map was out of wack. This produced a result that was only slightly less usable. For now, that just leaves me as, if not more, frustrated than when I began. I only hope that added info can help to find a cure.

[Newbie]xman problems
Hi. I am just a X-windows grasshopper, so I'm sorry if this request seems a little trivial. I am trying to use the X-windows manual command xman. This appears to work fine - I get all the windows and buttons I should, and the xman help page is fine. However, when diplaying a manual page, I get the following : %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: groff version 1.17.2 %%CreationDate: Tue Oct 1 11:52:02 2002 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Times-Roman %%+ font Times-Bold %%+ font Times-Italic %%DocumentSuppliedResources: procset grops 1.17 2 %%Pages: 54 . . . (cut due to length). What causes this, and how do I deal with it. I am running XFree86 4.2.0 on a Macintosh PowerBook G4, OSX, with XDarwin 1.1.
