Intel i845 is completely unsupported in Red Hat Linux 8.0.  You 
require CVS XFree86 for this to work.

All ATI Rage 128 hardware should work out of the box.  Just run:

redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig

Assuming you've disabled the onboard video, it should just work 
without fuss.

Hope this helps,

[XFree86] Problem in my XFREE86

2003-01-17 Thread VenkataVaradhan.M.R





Dear Sir/Mam,
    
I have an queery,My PC is based on CYRIX Processor from National Geode,I have 
loaded REDHAT LINUX 4.2 with XFree86,Version 3.3.3.1.
 
The following are the problems which i am facing 
when i am trying to connect to the caldera Linux 3.1,Through XDMCP
 In the  Caldera Linux 3.1 
server it is loaded with Oracle8i and we are using 
Oracle  Forms 6.0 as front end. Server Hardware is supplied 
by Compaq and the model of the server is Compaq Proliant 
ML530.
One more thing, the Forms are developed in Windows 
2000 and then ported  to Caldera Linux Server
  
For creating a new form, user will have to click 
on the new button. then cursor directly comes to the Side Box. In the server 
itself they set the  year  ( 2003 ) & presentation date ( 
entry date ) permantely. In my PC its in the same form getting with 
yellow colour strip not able to visible the year & date. 

 
So pl tell me what to do for this i am waiting for 
your reply.
 
Rgds,
Venkat

[XFree86] KDrive"TinyX" Xvesa does not compile

2003-01-17 Thread Jörn Willhöft
Hi list,

I am trying to compile a Kdrive "Tiny X" XServer from sources. Unfortunately
the build process fails when it is processing the
programs/Xserver/hw/kdrive/vesa directory.

I am not a crack in working with Imake and make, so please excuse me if I
made a stupid mistake ;-)

I downloaded and unpacked the sources of Version 4.2.0.
I also tried 4.0.2 patched to 4.0.3 with the same results.

Using the guide in
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/kdrive.html

I added the following settings to site.def:
(within /* AfterVendorCF */)

#define BuildServersOnly YES
#define KDriveXServer YES
#define TinyXServer YES
#define XvesaServer YES

Because I actually use a Chips & Technologies board I also addidtionaly
tried the following settings, which are nowhere documented (but the
directory "chips" does exist):
#define XchipsServer YES
#define XChipsServer YES

When I "make World", I get lots of errors in the kdrive-subtree (nowhere
else!) because of "asm" directives. So I removed the "-ansi -pedantic"
options in xfree86.cf in the line:
#define DefaultCCOptions -ansi -pedantic GccWarningOptions

Now, the directives are processed, but I get lots of "undefined reference to
'getTimeInMillis'" among other undefined references and the build fails
again.

With the XchipsServer lines I also get errors for "Xchips", without them
only for "Xvesa".
I also tried the "HasGcc2" line in site.def, because I am using gcc version
2.95.3, with the same results. Though, I don't know if I tested every
possible combination.

I am compiling on a SuSe 7.3 system. Make reports the following versions:
Linux 2.4.10-4GB i686 [ELF] (2.4.10)
Linux Distribution: SuSE
libc version: 6.2.4
binutils version: 3.1
GCC version: 2.95

Can anybody offer help? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
  Jörn

2003-01-17 Thread Uwe Siems
Regarding: Xlib-Problem with Keyboard-Input: AltGr has no effect after XRebindKeysym
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

XFree86 Version: 4.2.0

OS: Linux 2.4.18-4GB (SuSE 8.0)

Area: Xlib

Server: not server related

Description:

If a program uses XRebindKeysym to map some keys to other characters, XLookupString 
doesn't seem to honor the state of the
"mode_switch" key - AltGr on German keyboards - regardless of which key was mapped. 
You get the character you would normally get without the "mode_switch" key.

Repeat By:

Insert this line in the xev program:

XRebindKeysym (dpy, /*XK_KP_Insert*/ 0xFF9E, NULL, 0, "pipapo", 6);

e.g. directly behind the XOpenDisplay in main.
Now try getting a character with AltGr in xev. Doesn't work, you get the wrong one. 
Older X versions (3.3.6) work.

That is well over 5 years old now.  Extremely unsupported by Red
Hat for many years.  That version of XFree86 is also very very
unsupported by XFree86.org for many years.

Sorry, but with such an ancient release, for something that 
sounds like a video hardware issue, or driver issue, you're very 
unlikely to get any responses other than to upgrade to a modern 
Linux release.  Any bugs present 5 years ago, are likely long 
since fixed.

Some further information:
I tried the same xev binary from a different (old 3.3.6) X server, and
this time it worked. But the "state" field of the key event was 0x20,
instead of 0x2000 for the non-working X server. Maybe this is part of the
problem?

Did you get the 4.2.99 snapshot or the newest code?  (all versions of
files in the snapshot are tagged -- if you don't specify that tag when you
check out the source you will get the newest version of all the files
which is NOT what you want.  Yes, I think there should have been a

The build system for XFree86 is also not too nice.

and you can turn this off and build the module with the XFree86.
When you build modules outside of a kernel source tree, you must make sure
the include files the compiler finds will be the right ones.  Sometimes
the makefile has a define you can set to where your kernel headers are,
sometimes you have to make sure that /usr/include/linux points to the
right place.

For now the best advice is to NOT buy the newest hardware if it is weird
AND to pester the people you bought the hardware from (Intel, in this
case).  It is most likely their fault if there aren't Linux drivers yet.

I only discovered it late last night (it didn't use to be there, I think
-- how many months has it been there?  I have been almost completely away
from my computer for four months...)

There was a guy who had redesigned the DRI site with great success back in
the summer -- he thought a bit about how to fix the XFree86 site but I
think the internal opposition/inertia was too much for him.  I think
Georgina Economou is/was in charge of the website and if so I can
certainly understand why he didn't want to continue the struggle :(

Yeah, but they shouldn't.  You either buy hardware that is supported or
you compile some stuff yourself -- or pay others to fix it for you.  You
don't want the general progress hampered too much by having to cater to
every and all newbie.

A tarball for a prerelease, though, that is different.  You can't expect
everybody to both be able to read installation instructions AND handle a
compiler AND handle cvs ;)

You are welcome :)

PS: I think that even after all the above has been sorted out that you
might need to talk to Dawes to get a small fix in regarding the BIOS

Heh.  That reminds me.  Because I'm running Solaris, with the
xf86kit Sun produced, I moved the tree to /opt/X11R6 so I
wouldn't overwrite /usr/X11R6.  When I compiled 4.2.99,
xf86config still configured /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt in
the XF86Config file.  I'll see if I can track down why it's
doing that, because I would have expected to use
/opt/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt

With xf86config you have to set the ProjectRoot in your xc/config/cf/host.def
as it's hardcoded at build time.

I found success with the cvs tree - could not get the snapshot to work in
RedHat 8.0

Here's my notes on how I got XFree86 4.2.99.x to work in RedHat 8.0:

1. Get CVSup from
ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/binaries/RedHat-6/
2. Place the .tar.gz file in desired directory and extract contents (in KDE,
right click on file and select "Extract Here...")
3. Launch terminal and cd to /usr
4. create /xbuild and /sup under /usr (mkdir xbuild, mkdir sup)
5.create /xf86 under /sup (cd to sup, mkdir xf86)
6. with a text editor, create a text file named a.txt containing the
following content:
*default release=cvs host=anoncvs.xfree86.org base=/usr/sup/xf86
*default prefix=/usr/Xbuild delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
*default tag=.
cvs-base
xc-all
contrib-all
xtest-all
doctools-all
utils-all
7. place a.txt in the directory where cvsup was extracted to
8. in terminal, cd to directory where cvsup was extracted to
9. run the command: ./cvsup a.txt
10. run the command several times, as necessary, until the last line in
terminal says the transfer was completed successfully
11. run the command one more time to make sure.
12. in terminal, cd to /usr/xbuild
13. in terminal, run the command: make World
14. make World may take 1 to 2 hours to complete
15. shut down xFree86, if it is running - the easiest way to do this is to
go to a terminal window and execute the command: shutdown now
This will shutdown xFree86 and a few other processes and bring up a console
prompt
16. with xFree86 not running and at a terminal prompt, cd /usr/xbuild
17. run the command: make install
18. make install will take 30min to an hour
19. reboot the machine
20. Under System Settings, Display, you should have more resolution and
color depth choices under the Intel 845 chip.

Greg,

Here are notes of what I did to get XFree86 4.2.99.3 to work with RedHat

This problem is fixed in the texmem-0-0-1 branch of the DRI CVS tree. 
Due to the fact that the branch and some related changes in the DRI CVS 
trunk were not stablized in time for the XFree86 4.3.0 feature freeze 
last November, the fix will not be integrated until XFree86 4.4.0.

In the mean time, you can download the texmem-0-0-1 branch from DRI CVS, 
and build it for yourself.  It will install over top of XFree86 4.2.99 
or 4.3.0 (when released).

Greg,

I forgot to say that I had to remove all the XFree86 stuff and then do the
cvs thing.  I'm working on a new installation, so to give me an
un-adulterated XFree86 installation I simply reinstalled RedHat 8.0, I
selected the 845 card during the installation process, then imeediately ran
the CVSup process (notes below - cvsup, make World, make install) and then
upon reboot XFree86 works well with multiple choices for screen resolution
and color depth.

So - I don't know how to clean out your current XFree86 installation to make
way for a fresh CVSup process - hopefully someone else can help you with
that.

This tag is going to pull down the latest XFree86 code and not the
4.2.99.3 snapshot. (Unless they are one in the same. Never looked)

The correct tag for getting xc-all should be tag=xf-4_2_99_3

I am not sure if this will make any difference to the end user, except
that it may be easier to build.

[XFree86] Intel 845 Support

Hello,
    
    I was able successfully 
download, make, and install the lastest XFree libraries.  However, I did 
not
see the Intel 845 as one of 
the card choices when using Xconfigurator.  Should I have?  

So I chose the 
Generic Vesa driver again.  I still was unable to get anything better than 
600x400. 
I have no idea 
what's wrong.   Could it be related to the version of RedHat I'm 
using?  I am running 7.2.
Are there any other parameters that I need to 
manually add to the config file.

  Hi Gary,
  
Are there any plans to support the Intel 
Extreme Graphics
card (845)?    I tried using the 
"vesa" driver as documented
by RedHat as the replacement.  However the 
only resolution
I can get is 
640x480 which is horrible?  Are there any other
configuration parameters I can tweak or another 
driver I can 
use will work 
better?
  XFree86 version 4.2.99.x has 845 support 
  - it works well. Version 4.3.x will have support when it is released in the 
  next couple of weeks.
   
  I used CVSup to get the latest source 
  code, then compiled and linked the modules - it's not too hard to do (If you 
  know how!) Here's the notes I wrote 
  down:
   
  1. Get CVSup from ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/binaries/RedHat-6/

  7. place a.txt in the directory where cvsup 
  was extracted to
  8. in terminal, cd to directory 
  where cvsup was extracted to 
  9. run the command: ./cvsup 
  a.txt
  10. run the command several times, as 
  necessary, until the last line in terminal says the transfer was completed 
  successfully
  11. run the command one more time to make 
  sure.
  12. in terminal, cd to 
  /usr/xbuild
  13. in terminal, run the command: make 
  World
  14. make World may take 1 to 2 hours 
  to complete
  15. shut down xFree86, if it is running - 
  the easiest way to do this is to go to a terminal window and execute the 
  command: shutdown now
  This will shutdown xFree86 and a few

Xconfigurator isn't part of XFree86, so upgrading XFree86 isn't going
to help Xconfigurator know about the i845.

In the latest XFree86 the i810 driver knowns about the i845.
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o

The i810 DRI module doesn't know about the i845 - i810_dri.so is no help;
i830_dri.o might help, but I don't know.

[XFree86] Here are my settings for NVidia Riva TNT2

2003-01-17 Thread Peter Finderup Lund
I'm using Debian Woody 3.0 (woody).

I can't remember the precise model name of my video card (was it called
Vanta or M64?) but here is what lspci -vvv has to say:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Vanta [NV6] (rev 15)
(prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: AOPEN Inc.: Unknown device 000d

ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap+ 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
SERR- 


ok, so lspci says it's a Vanta.


And here is the relevant part of /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
(II) NV: driver for NVIDIA chipsets: RIVA128, RIVATNT, RIVATNT2,
RIVATNT2 (A), RIVATNT2 (B), RIVATNT2 (Ultra), RIVATNT2 (Vanta),

Quadro 2 Pro, GeForce2 MX, GeForce2 MX DDR, Quadro 2 MXR,

GeForce3 (rev 3)
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset RIVATNT2 M64 found

And XFree86's nv driver says it's an M64.  Maybe there are two M64 models,
one is called a Vanta and one of them isn't?  (can't recall that stuff
now although I looked rather closely at it in August or thereabouts)

So maybe this will help Maria Chantzara?

-Peter

PS: Maria, you are not a customer (at least not /our/ customer) so please
don't behave like one (regarding the "URGENT" in the subject and not
quoting precise error messages or the log file that I bet the message
actually says to send).  Volunteers tend to find customer-like behaviour
annoying and tiring.  We'd actually rather code or learn new techniques
than support customers.

It would be nice if something could be done to cut down on the number of
emails like this in a way that keeps everybody happy.  Would you mind
participating in a short discussion on that, Maria?

Not a good place either.  They are not particularly fond of people who are
too lazy/stupid to google, either.

But at least it's /slightly/ on topic there ;)

Abhilash, google for unix socket faq or something like that.  Or google
for unix programming faq (I think you definitely need that too).  Or
read the book recommendations in the docs that come with the Linux kernel.
Or do just about anything -- if you follow the references and use google
just a teeny-weeny bit you are going to have more than enough stuff within
30 minutes (that is, if you are a slow reader and make many typos).

[XFree86] video

2003-01-17 Thread Rene Ranville








Hello,

 

I have just spent the last week in frustration and hair
pulling and most of all DISAPOINTMENT.

 

The problem is: I own an ATI All In
Wonder Radeon 7500 video Card. TV-In/Out.

The card is hosted by an Intel P-4 1.6 Ghz,
400+ RAM, 80 Gby
  Hard Drive.

 

I have tried Red Top v8, Mandrake v.9 and v.9.1, SuSe, and Peanut. 

 

None will show me a display on my LG Electronics Studioworks 700S Monitor. 17 inch.

 

I do not mean to have an “attitude” here but Gee
Whiz, I spent a lot of money on this state of the art
system.

I love the Open Source concept and was so looking forward to
being a part of it.

But I have to SEE it. I only see a boring black and cold
screen with a text prompt.

 

How come after 10 years Linux can not solve the ATI issue.
After all, ATI is almost an Industrial Standard

When it comes to Video Capture
cards. Did all the Linux developers completely miss something.

Or is there no one with the skill and expertise to make
these video cards work with Linux.

Does the world have to rely upon the developers at Microsoft
to capture video with their home computers?

 

I have loaded Win’95, Win’98, Win M, Win XP with
ATI capture cards and they have all worked perfectly and

Flawless. NO
PROBLEMS. So what’s up with Linux? Do we wait another ten years? I
don’t think ATI or Microsoft will wait.

They will move on.

 

I am about ready to give up on Linux too. Just say
“Forget it ! ! !” and throw Linux to the
wind.

Write it off as one of the most frustrating and
disappointing experiences of my life of 47 years.

 

But I still have hope, that somebody will help me. I have
searched the web and there I learned that this ATI issue

Is nothing old or unique. The web

[XFree86] Video ???

2003-01-17 Thread Rene Ranville








Hello,

 

I have just spent the last week in frustration and hair
pulling and most of all DISAPOINTMENT.

 

The problem is: I own an ATI All In
Wonder Radeon 7500 video Card. TV-In/Out.

The card is hosted by an Intel P-4 1.6 Ghz,
400+ RAM, 80 Gby
  Hard Drive.

 

I have tried Red Top v8, Mandrake v.9 and v.9.1, SuSe, and Peanut. 

 

None will show me a display on my LG Electronics Studioworks 700S Monitor. 17 inch.

 

I do not mean to have an “attitude” here but Gee
Whiz, I spent a lot of money on this state of the art
system.

I love the Open Source concept and was so looking forward to
being a part of it.

But I have to SEE it. I only see a boring black and cold
screen with a text prompt.

 

How come after 10 years XFree86 can not
solve the ATI issue. After all, ATI is almost an Industrial Standard

When it comes to Video Capture
cards. Did all the XFre86 developers completely miss something.

Or is there no one with the skill and expertise to make
these video cards work with XFre86.

Does the world have to rely upon the developers at Microsoft
to capture video with their home computers?

 

I have loaded Win’95, Win’98, Win M, Win XP with
ATI capture cards and they have all worked perfectly and

Flawless. NO
PROBLEMS. So what’s up with Linux? Do we wait another ten years? I
don’t think ATI or Microsoft will wait.

They will move on.

 

I am about ready to give up on Linux too. Just say
“Forget it ! ! !” and throw Linux to the
wind with it’s XFree86.

Write it off as one of the most frustrating and
disappointing experiences of my life of 47 years. And move on.

 

But I still have hope, that somebody will help me. I have
searched the web and there I learned that this ATI issue

Is nothing old or unique. The web
is full of ATI video card owners with this same problem. This is not very
impressive.

 

I ask again, If MS Windows (All versions) can do it since
1994, How come XFree86
can’t.

frustrations.

[XFree86] Put clearly visible links to the mailing list archives on xfree86.org

2003-01-17 Thread Peter Finderup Lund
Could the text on http://xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 be changed
to list the urls of the xfree86 archives instead of the main page of the
two archives?

The text should be changed from:

"Archives are available at http://www.mail-archive.com and
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com";

to

"Searchable archives are available
at http://www.mail-archive.com/xfree86%40xfree86.org/ and
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86&r=1&w=2";

with both the links clickable, please.

I also the think they should be listed prominently on the support page
(http://xfree86.org/support) and on the front page.

The link "Public Mailing Lists" on http://www.xfree86.org/ goes to the
mailman interface, leaving the newbie to wonder which of the five lists to
subscribe to.  They are also going to subscribe /before/ they check what
is already in the archives.

I think the links to the archives (+ the hint that they are searchable)
should be seen /before/ any information whatsoever on how to subscribe to
the lists or send mail to them.  Only after making the newbie think "hmm,
maybe I can find an answer here *click*" should they see how they can get
on the mailing list themselves.

Well, this is very highly unlikely to be a configuration problem 
as the colors you see on screen are not something that you 
configure.

What is much more likely is that you've got a bad monitor cable 
perhaps, or bad video card connector.

I recall we here in our lands had some time ago repeated problem with 
combination of Trident adapters and Samsung 15" monitors. When working 
in text mode color would suddenly disappear and picture become monochrome.
Now, he told that all other colors look okay and he tried to change 
monitor, too.

IIRC, the radeon driver advertises a larger maximum Xv image size than

[XFree86] Compile problems for 4.2.99.3

2003-01-17 Thread Greg Julius

I am trying to compile the 4.2.99.3 XFree86, and while this is not
specifically a XFree86 problem, I need to get past it to continue with
the compile.  I'm hoping some can help me please.  I googled
and found a zillion hits, but looking at a few of them didn't tell me
anything I didn't know from the message:  the build can't find
.
I am apparently getting problems trying to access the zlib stuff. 
The messages are:

make[4]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
/bin/sh: line 1: ../../../exports/bin/xcursorgen: No such file or
directory

When I first compiled, it couldn't find png.h so I went and found
that.  Then it said it needed zlib so I went and found that. 
Installed zlib with no apparent errors.  Then installed libpng with
no apparent errors.  Recompiled again.  Still couldn't find
png.h.
Q1:  I thought the make install was supposet to move the stuff
in.  Is my thinking broke here?
Moved png.h to /usr/local/include (and then several others as iterations
found them) and now when I compile I get the above errors.  I tried
moving the libpng.so to /usr/lib/  (actually a symbolic link). 
Still no go.
I've got a zillion zlibs on this system.  I have my source at
/usr/src/zlib-1.1.4 and symbolic link to same as /usr/src/zlib.
Q2 & 3: There is no zlib.so anywhere and I have the deflate.o (and
all the rest) where the source is.  Where should I put them?  I
see there is a deflate.c in the XFree86 cvs tree - shouldn't it be
building and using that?
(Qn)  What am I doing wrong?  (well, at least this time
:)  )

Thanks again for all of your patience and assistance.



[XFree86] Xv support in SiliconMotion driver ?

2003-01-17 Thread Mark Cuss



Hello all...
 
I have a question about the Silicon Motion 
driver?  Does it support the Xv extension (specifically, XvPutImage)?  
I'm trying to troubleshoot some problems on a computer, which is, unfortunately, 
located 3000 miles away from me.  The user sent me the output of xvinfo, 
and the only device in the list was the video4linux card installed in the 
machine - nothing at all for the SMI SM721G8.
 
If anyone has any info on this, I'd greatly 
apprecaite it.  The machine is running XFree 4.2.0

You need the development version of the rpm, I think.

No.  But the source code from XFree86 may have a different opinion of
where to move things (and which things to move in!) than Red Hat -- or
SuSE, or Debian, or ...

The problem isn't that it can't find libpng.so -- the problem is that it
can't find deflate and friends (from zlib, I think) that libpng.so depends
on.

It is not looking for the source to zlib, only for the lib so it can
satisfy the dependencies that libpng has.

Can you find an RPM with zlib?  Preferably a devel version?

It's okay as long as you 1) make progress, 2) ask good questions where we
don't have to guess too much 3) make an effort to look up the obvious
before you post and 4) mostly follow instructions :)

As long as somebody does that I don't mind helping him/her :)  -- it's

Not it isn't.  It's a misconfiguration of your system.

Or -- if it *is* a bug report, then you should direct it to Red Hat.

Look back about a week or so in the archive for of info on how to

[XFree86] ATI Radeon 9000 PCI and CVS

 have a Radeon 9000 PCI, I grabbed the currect xfree86 xc cvs, patched

 but after a random period of time (from after a minute) the screen goes

 hardlocks.

 There is no errors in logs, however, glxinfo and xfree86 identifies it as AGP

Most likely not an XFree86 bug.

Most likely your system became misconfigured somehow -- depending on what
you did to break it you might want to file a bug report with Red Hat
instead or look in the last week's mails in the archive for this mailing
list.

In case you ever need to file another "bug report", please describe what

No, it is incomplete.  Please follow the instructions at the bottom of the
error message.

Besides, this is probably a case of you misconfiguring your machine or
(possibly but I doubt it) a Red Hat bug.

It /might/ be an XFree86 bug but until you actually provide the log you
were asked to send AND tell us how to got to the current state, we'll

Your XF86Config file still seems to be set for an ET4000 card -- did you
swap the Diamond SpeedStar back without reconfiguring?

Also, have you checked that the Diamond SpeedStar is supported by XFree86
4.x and not just 3.x?  Some old drivers haven't been ported forward.

Have you tried XFree86 -configure?

Have you read any of the release documents?

On the above setup i can get hardware acceleration with the Xfree 3.3.6
that came with my distro via GLX. I built Xfree 4.2 from the mandrake

4.2 than with the 4.1 which came with my distro.

However, having just tried to play Chromium (

still only getting this acceleration with 3.3.6. A quick google lead me
to read this :http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/faq.html , and now I am
faultering with ignorance. Do I need to compile Xfree4.2 with DRI
enabled?

ps - for what it is worth, running XConfigurator offers me XFree3.3.6
with hardware acceleration, or Xfree4.1 without ( ie it mistakes 4.2 for
4.1...)

Re: [XFree86] Wrong Color in X server

have no problem. If I print some image out, the color is correct. So I guess 
somebody change something on X server.

I am running X server with 8 bits mode. If I change it to 16 bits mode, then 
the color will be fine.

Can anyone tell me how can I change it back??

Interesting - it is certainly more plausible that the palette has been
programmed incorrectly than X puts the wrong bit patterns into video
memory.  (8 bits per colour -> uses a hardware colour lookup table that
can be reprogrammed, aka palette...  16 bits per colour -> splits pixel
value into three fields of 5 or 6 bits, one for each primary colour, there
is no lookup table, that is, no palette)

746. Add Xv overlay support for dual headed Radeons (#A.1380, Hui

What does this do?  can the overlay be on either head as opposed to
just the first as it is with other dual head capable drivers with one
overlay or was the overlay previously disabled in dualhead mode?

Jordan, see Leif's page http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/dri_status.html for 
information about the driver status and how to build it.

The driver is mostly done, but several things have been delaying the merge:
 - insecure DMA model which didn't allow us to give more control to the
   client.
 - insuficiency of the DRM DMA engine in handling this chip
   specificities which will force to extend/rewrite the DRM DMA engine
   API.
 - not much free time to do the remaining bits...

Although the RandR extension is theoretically capable of handling this,
the implementation of RandR in XFree86 is incomplete, and the second
"R" (rotation) won't be functional in 4.3.

RandR is one of those features where more effort has gone into its
promotion that its implementation :-(.

No, the X server doesn't drop privileges.  The 4.x XFree86 server does
much the same command-line and environment sanitisation as Xwrapper
before doing anything else.  Neither approach results in the X server
running with reduced privileges though.  It only helps reduce the
likelihood that the command line or environment can be used to exploit
a bug.  It doesn't help safeguard againt other ways that user-controlled
data comes into the X server.  A privilege separation method, as Matthieu
mentioned, would provide better protection.

Re: [XFree86] Dell 2350 with ATI Xpert 128 PCI

2003-01-17 Thread Stephen Wolfcale



I tried running "redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig" but results were exactly the 
same.  The BIOS is set to select the PCI card.  
 
Thanks,

[XFree86] XRENDER in Creator3d driver

2003-01-17 Thread Wayne Schroeder
I haven't been able to find much info on this subject so here goes:

Are there any plans to add XRENDER support to the sunffb driver?  The
glint driver which does my pgx24 supports it.  This is really the only
thing keeping me from getting AA working on my Xserver.

Also... am I correct to assume that without xrender, true type fonts do
not work?  I have tried both true type modules but have never got the
fonts listed in mozilla (from a windows box) to ever display on a
webpage.  I select them from the list for my 'serif' font and serif text
on the web page uses another built in font which is not the correct ttf.

It would be welcome, but the ffb code in XFree86 is rather less well 
structured than other drivers; it uses much of the insides of cfb and 
doesn't use XAA.  Someone with the hardware, an interest and the ability
would need to spend some time getting the driver moved from cfb to fb.

Render only accelerates client-side fonts.  Without render, TrueType fonts 
within the X server work fine, and client-side fonts (using current CVS) 
are drawn using core functions (which is slower, but still usable).
