Hi Chris, Sorry to all if I am slipping in, Your spelling "xwmconfig" is Ok. May be you don't have it in your installation. This program basically sets a pointer (mostly soft) to point to your basic X Window Manager (xwm..). Have a check in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit" or where ever xinit resides in your in- stallation. Mostly you will find this pointing to xinintrc.kde, xinitrc.fvwm95 etc. You can easilly do this with "ln -s" if you don't have "xwmconfig".

hi, i tried the command 'xwmconfig' and it doesn't work. it's not a recognized command. is that how it is spelled? i'm using red hat 7.1. i haven't ever set a default for x, so this is probably the problem. thanks. chris From: GreenTree Ground Station <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Chris Capaci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Newbie]KDE problem Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2002 15:14:25 -0800 (PST) I presume you're using Linux ?

Re: [Newbie](no subject)
A few possibilites: * 32 MB RAM may not be sufficient for Mandrake 9.0, or may require some special installation procedures. (In any event, something like KDE 3 will be very slow unless you have a lot more RAM -- I wasn't reasonablyhappy until I had 256 MB.) If Mandrake does successfully install with 32 MB, you will want to use either a different window manager than KDE (several are supplied, I think some are still installed by default, especially if you install everything). * Have you checked the md5sum on the installation CD -- my understanding is that sometimes problems like this come from a bad CD, or * How fast is the CDR/W for reading -- I commonly have problems with fast CD drives -- they seem to accelerate and decelerate, accelerate and decelerate, and sometimes I think the software time out while waiting for the drive to accelerate again. I have started to install only slow CD drives (2, 4, 8 X) to avoid the problem (plus they are cheap). Finally, consider signing up for one or more of the Mandrake mail lists ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and ask your question there.

How do you disable port 32768? The -nolisten tcp option works with port 6000, but if X is started with xdm, it doesn't shut odd port 32768. This problem doesn't seem to occur with startx, just xdm. netstat -ap shows that the process xsm is listening, but nothing in the xsm documentation that I can find tells how to turn this off. _ Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie

Greetings I have run into a problem where when in X, regardless of which window manager I use, hitting the right Ctrl key locks up the keyboard. So far, as a test I have modified the xinitrc file to only start with xterm (no window manager). From here I can type normally until the right Ctrl key is pressed. From that point on things get VERY squerly. Here is a typical test case: startx (X starts with an xterm in the upper left corner (no window manager) ) mouse over the xterm and type normaly hit the right control key press 'a' - if there is text on the line, the curser goes to the first character press 'd' - if done after hitting 'a', acts as the delete key until last character is pressed, then it exits X I am running a Red Hat 7.2 system I have also noticed that after the right control is pressed, often the mouse buttons bring up xterm menus... as would be expected if a control key was being held. This leads me to believe that pressing the right control key is somehow 'locking' the control key. I have looked at the .Xdefaults but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the ncurses4-5.0-4.i386 rpm (trying to refresh the terminfo db) as well as the XFree86-4.1.0-3.i386.rpm (trying to fix any keymap issues) but neither has helped. It may be worth noting that this problem is not limited to xterm (it was just easier to test there). No matter where I am in X, evein if I use something like the default KDE start script, pressing the right control key appears to lock the keyboard. Any suggestions would be much appriciated. Thanks in advance, Ryan

hi I had the same problems with 7.2 and ggeforce4 mx. At firs you have to dovnlan from Nvidia GLX and kernel paches then instal them and run edit you XF86Config-4 file. (how to do this is written in Nvidia to link to help is http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-3123/README). then you must to run 4 version of XFree86 video server. To do this run Xconfigurator --preferxf4 and set the appropriate symlink of /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the appropriate server(it is /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86). or do other way is to do as I did in hard way (if 4 version dosn't start) instal linux again (only kernel and tools) then instal video drivers and XFree86 in console mode.

[snip] I'm not sure what exactly is your question. It could be that either you are currenlty looking at an XFree86 X session and want to kill it and get back to a text console: in that case pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace simultaneously would kill the X session. Or you could mean that when your computer boots it automatically starts an X login session (managed by xdm, gdm or kdm): in that case edit the file called "/etc/inittab". This file will have a line id:5:initdefault: Change that line to id:3:initdefault: Then any time that you want to start an X session type "startx". These instructions are generally correct, but details may differ depending upon the GNU/Linux distribution that you are running.

If RH also installed 3.3.6 then all you need to do is redirect X to the adequate X 3 server (poassibly XF86_S3 would do) and chack that you have an XF86Config which has the right format (RH usually creates both a XF86Config-4 for X 4 and a XF86Config for X 3, I am not sure whether it does that in 7.3 - I have 7.2- ) Lionel --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I just loaded Red Hat Linux 7.3 on to an old HP Pavilion 7125.

Hiya, We currently are attempting to use pc's which use the Intel 845 integrated chipset which uses the 845GL video chipset. Intel's advice to get this to work under RedHat Linux is to use the VESA driver but it appear that this does not work for myself. I don't know if this is due to something I am doing or whether there is an issue with Xfree 4.2.0 and the Intel 845 graphics. I am using the 2.5.25 (previously tried to use 2.4.18) and I have compiled support for 845/850 chipset in the kernel. The issue seems to be that you attempt to go to init 5 and the screen just remains completely blank even after a bit of disk chundering. I can switch back to a text console fine and there doesn't appear to be anything untoward being logged on the console. Closer examination of the Xfree86.0.log file seems to reveal a whole set of write combination errors relating to the VESA module which is trying to be used Xfree86. I would appreciate some pointers on being able to resolve this. I apologise if the information is a bit vague but I would be more than happy to elaborate if it helps diagnose and fix the problem.

I installed the latest version of XFree86(4.2.0), but it seems that when I installed it, some of my configuration files were overwritten or replaced, and now I think it made my default desktop manager twm instead of Gnome. I tried running Xconfigurator, but the program seems to crash on the first screen when I press 'OK', with the error message "segmentation fault".

I would rather assume that the graphic card is not recognised in such case one gets sometimes a 320x240 resolution. Depending on which version of X you are using (I don't know FreeBSD well enough)you could try using SVGA (X 3.3.x) or vesa (X 4.x.x) The 810 has also given some troubles you should use google on the list to get the various solutions which were advocated...

If not you may need to do that. You may also need to change the monitor type to a different refresh rate. When you say that Gnome is too large to run do you mean it is too large to load, or is the display so large that it runs off the sereen? Royce I setup X using Xfree86.

At this phase i select custom install my monitor there i give the h-sync and v-freq according to my monitor's manual i.e Horizontal Freq: 30-54KHz Vertical Freq: 50-120Hz and then after OK the next screen comes which ask me abut 'clock timming' where i select the 'No Clock' option. and then i press OK in the last screen i recieved the message now Xconfigurator checks ur settings of X-window. Here when i press OK then i received the message screen which explains something like this. Ur configuration is not correct and click back to configure again. I repeat the above process many times by using the monitor generic driver or the driver of Philips model 104B which has the same values of hor-sync and verti-freq. value nearly matched with my monitor model. i describe u the problem and i m very exhausted from linux coz i m trying to configure it from many days and did not succeded. i also have read many HOWTOs available from redhat and many manuals from XFree86.org. Plz help me so that i continue works on linux otherwise i can left it due to this problem.

I installed 7.3 Professional default with Office on a HP Pavilion N5210 notebook with 64MB RAM and 10GB hard drive. When I inserted "Options sw_cursor" in XF86Config, it gave me the proper arrow cursor. However, only text mode and Failsafe work fine. I still have these problems with the other graphical interfaces: 1) KDE displays a desktop with only the two or three icons or half-icons: trash can, CD drive, sometimes half of the world globe. But the screen freezes immediately, and nothing works. Sometimes KDE opens with a red background and exploding bomb graphics. Ctrl-Alt-Del is usually the only way out. 2) fvwm2 usually paints only the top half of the screen, leaving the bottom half without even the background, and then it freezes. (Sometimes it paints a distorted screen instead.) None of the keyboard commands work here. Only a paperclip in the reset hole gets me out. 3) mwm and twm have similar problems, and the screen soon freezes. I have re-installed four times in the week since I have had SuSe Linux Professional 7.3, and still can not use anything except the text-based screens. I have not yet received any personal contact from SuSE Support -- only automated replies to my e-mails. Please help.

Hi, I posted recently about not being able to get X windows working due to it hemorrhaging on startup, bleeding on my lcd screen, and generally making an arse of itself. This problem prevented any user from using X, I 'fixed' that, though, by postponing the symptoms until I close X out, whether it be by CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, or clicking the 'END SESSION' button, or right-clicking and closing, or killall -9 X, et cetera. It flips to a white screen, and bleeds... almost literally. Below is XF86Config, and test.log.

Hello, I am trying to install linux on a IBM thinkpad laptop (A30p, 2653), but unable to get the X-window running. Initially I was getting a incomprehensible screen full of rasters, but then when I tried this configuration file last night, it worked fine. It could even detect my USB mouse. Today morning, when I try again without any change, I am again back to the same old noisy screen. When I change the driver to 'vesa' I get usable (but very inferior quality) Xwindows. From what I am reading in different newsgroups and other sources, these types of laptops have ATI L6 MY graphics chip. I have given up after no real change made the system from functioning to non-functioning. I am attaching both my XF86Config-4 and /var/log/XFree86.0.log files. I would appreciate any kind of help !!!

When you reposted this you lost the subject line, which was the only place you gave your equipment configuration, "ATI Rage Mobility M1 on Dell Inspiron 3800". That's a laptop with a flat panel display, isn't it? I didn't respond earlier because I have no experience with flat panel displays, and I didn't find anything in a quick look at http://www.xfree86.org/. You say you "tried several times", but you don't say what you tried. Did you try "XFree86 -configure"? You did install it with Xinstall.sh, didn't you? Why did you choose 4.1.0 rather than 4.2.0? Anybody else out there: Is there some good general information resource on configuring XFree86 for a flat panel as opposed to a vacuum tube display? -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie

I installed Solaris 8 Intel edition and XFree86 4.1.0, but I don't know how to configure my system. What chipset should I choose, and what type of monitor?? I tried several times, for example "ATI Mach64" and "High Frequency Super VGA at 1024*768 70 Hz", but after running "startx", all I got is a black screen. Can anyone tell me the correct way of configuration and analyze my problem?? Thanks in advance. ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie

For each user, edit $HOME/.xinitrc (if you use startx) or .xsession (if you use xdm). I'm not aware of a way to do it system-wide for all users, but man xinit (or xdm), maybe they look at a system-wide defaults file. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie

Hi, I'am currently using an SiS6326 card with 8Mb mem and TV out. I want to obtain a reliable 50 HZ mode in 800x600 or in 640x480 to be able to use my TV output. Unfortuneatly the X server doesn't accept a dot clock below 16.25 Mhz in the modeline definition whereas the requirements for TV is about 14.76 Mhz! Is there a way to force or to set this minimum picxel clock value (the logs of Xfree said it's a default setting, so it must be possible to set it!! And it's not an impossibility for the card, since it's working under windows). Currently, with a modeline at 16.25 MHz i'm only able to see "garble" on to my TV (as well as on the screen of the computer)! It would be really nice since it's very cool to watch DVD's and all other stuff played by my computer on to my TV!! Sorry if it's not to you i must send my question! J.

Download directly from RedHat. That's the best idea. Jeremy ___ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
