[XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
I’m trying to complete an xfree86 installation (4.1) using Debian woody. I have a Dell-supplied Microsoft Natural keyboard and an IntelliMouse PS/2 compatible mouse from Microsoft and a Logitech Optical Mouse None of the settings commented in XFConfig work, nor do any of the settings discussed on the xfree86 website There is some reference to “other keyboard configurations… so they are not documented here” in the keyboard section on the website For the keyboard, I’ve tried PS/2, Microsoft, ps102, ps104, ps105. For the Microsoft mouse, auto, IMPS/2, PS/2 Any suggestions? -- David
[XFree86] 4.3.0 RC 1 cursor problems
Hi, How can I turn off the "glass" effect cursor? Its all very well having a glass-effect on the normal cursors, but as soon as I move the cursor over text and the I bar cursor comes up, its really hard to see! Can I change them back to the solid cursors? Thanks, mike ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I don't immediately so anything obviously silly. However, as far as I understand it, Egbert's patch will have the effect of disabling DDC on the second head. You could try plugging the monitor into the other socket (you might need to power-cycle the machine to get the console back) and or try playing with Option "SwappedHead" Although I have programs which can give me DDC on each head, none of them seems to be able to select which head they are reporting on, so I don't really undertand what is going on with DDC on dual-head. -- Dr. Andrew C.

Re: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
Here is my keyboard and mouse sections of my SF86Config-4. It's a pretty generic configuration, so may help you a little: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection For Debian, you can do (as root) 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86', and that will give you a nice configuration program. From there it shouldn't be hard to get a working system. One of those XkbModels that you tried should have worked (maybe try pc101?). Now, you probably won't get every single key on that thing to work, since many are Microsoft specific command shortcuts, but you should easily be able to get normal functionality. Another thing, if you are going to be using dpkg-reconfig to configure X, choose the least advanced level for the config questions they ask you. You will probably still need to know the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your monitor, but it will automatically choose sensible options for a lot of other stuff.

[XFree86] Cursors in XFree
Hi, I need to determine the size (width and height) of the currently shown mouse cursor (especially important for those nice new Xcursors), can anyone give me some hints on where to start? Do I find suitable functions in Xlib.h or maybe Xcursor.h... or maybe somewhere else? Second question: Is it possible to tell XFree to change the currently active cursor theme on the fly from within my program?

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
Is your mouse a usb device? If not, perhaps try /dev/psaux instead of /dev/input/mice. You should try dpkg-reconfigure too. It may give you configure options for the keyboard that you haven't though of yet. Once you have a XF86Config-4 that works, then edit it by hand for whatever tuning and adjustments you want. You can use dpkg-reconfigure to change between gdm, kdm, and xdm, as well, by just putting one of them as the object of the command (I couldn't figure out earlier if you wanted to change login managers, or simply disable them entirely). If that doesn't work, have you posted your XF86Config-4 file yet? And it is only the keyboard and mouse that are causing you problems?

[XFree86] Configuring for XFree86
Attached are some files pertaining to my trying to bring up XFree86 on my PC system. My video card is AOpen PG 128 plus with 4 MB but I picked a generic VGA board to describe the video board; as I recall AOpen PG 128 used to be one of the video boards listed (probably in FreeBSD 3.3 , 4.1 , and/or 4.3 ), but I didn't see it listed this time (in FreeBSD 4.7 ). Is AOpen PG 128 close enough to AOpen PG 128 plus for me to use it to describe the video board correctly? There should be a program like uname for the video board so that you can get a proper description of it. Also, I don't think choices should be removed from the list. My terminal is a 'HYUNDAI HCM-433E ULTRA VGA' and it isn't on the monitor list, though there is another HYUNDAI there. I do occasionally get my screen switching to having long thin rectangles (with wavy edges) going from the top to the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the original screen comes back and I can continue working, sometimes it doesn't. I have some suspicions about this, but they are too long to write. When I installed FreeBSD 4.3 , I couldn't configure X so I copied the one I managed to create for FreeBSD 4.1 into my FreeBSD 4.3 slice. (I don't update an installation, I create a new one in an unused slice.) I did the same for FreeBSD 4.7 when I could't configure X . I would like to resolve this problem also. When trying to configure the keyboard, the top 4 choices (of the 25 ) disappeared off the top of the screen and I have no idea what they were. This should be corrected. My keyboard is an Acer , so I just picked a generic US model (choice 5 seemed to fit). I would like to have some new features in XFree86 , with whom can I discuss them? Where can I get documentation on XFree86 , maybe some features I want are already in it? _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Rules = "xfree86" Model = "pc101" Layout = "us" MouseKeysCurve = 0 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "xie" Load "xtrap" Load "speedo" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc101" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName"Monitor Model" HorizSync31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0 EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "slow_edodram" # [] #Option "slow_dram" # [] #Option "fast_dram" # [] #Option "fpm_vram" # [] #Option "pci_burst" # [] #Option "fifo_conservative" # [] #Option "fifo_moderate" # [] #Option "fifo_aggressive" # [] #Option "pci_retry" # [] #Option "NoAccel" # [] #Option "early_ras_precharge" # [] #Option "late_ras_precharge" # [] #Option "lcd_center" # [] #Option "set_lcdclk" # #Option "set_mclk" # #Option "set_refclk" # #Option "show_cache" # [] #Option "HWCursor" # [] #Option "SWCursor" # [] #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "Rotate" # [] #Option "UseFB" # [] #Option "mxcr3afix" # [] #Option "XVideo" # [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vga" VendorName "S3" BoardName "Trio3D/2X" ChipSet "generic" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" SubSection "Display" D

Hello all. I'm implementing a resolution test in our display control panel, which basically starts a second X server on another terminal with the desired resolution.

I just checked and noticed that the agpgart isn't being released when switching away for the 830M and later. Adding that allows a second X server to be started. If DRI is enabled, I notice some contention there when starting the second server, so that's something else to watch out for. If you're using an 830M or later, try this patch.

If not, perhaps try /dev/psaux instead of /dev/input/mice. You should try dpkg-reconfigure too. It may give you configure options for the keyboard that you haven't though of yet. Once you have a XF86Config-4 that works, then edit it by hand for whatever tuning and adjustments you want. You can use dpkg-reconfigure to change between gdm, kdm, and xdm, as well, by just putting one of them as the object of the command (I couldn't figure out earlier if you wanted to change login managers, or simply disable them entirely).

[XFree86] Unable to set vertical refresh rate correctly
Hi, I'm trying to setup Xfree86 4.2.1 for use with my Elements 9D monitor and a GeForce2MX 200 graphics card. It is currently working fine with the nvidia driver. The problem is that X is setting my monitor to 75Hz at 1152x864. The monitor is capable of 100Hz at that resolution, and that's what I'm running at under Windows. I've tried running "X -configure" but that doesn't do anything special with regard to my monitor. I've also played with xvidtune, secifically adjusting the width and height in order to raise the refresh rate a bit. I havn't been able to make it operate above ~84Hz while still being able to compensate with the physical monitor controls. In other words, anything higher and I can no longer keep the picture at the right physical dimensions.

Glad to hear it. You can probably use that optical mouse as well (I have a Logitech optical, which works great), but you just have to change /dev/psaux back to /dev/input/mice.

Please, wrap lines <80 chars and quote the mail you're replying to above (logic: a question comes before an answer) If, as your first respondent suggested, you don't have "DontZap", then the Ctrl-Alt-Bksp should kill the instance of the X server. If that isn't working then you could try Ctrl-Alt-Fn (n>=2) to get another virtual console. Within that virtual console you could use the "kill" command on the PID of "Railroad Tycoon II". If, for some weird reason, you don't want to do that then you could shut the whole machine down (ugh!) by doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del twice. That is the equivalent of Microsofts three-finger salute. This is an inelegant and deprecated way of coping with the problem in GNU/Linux, *BSD. If it's the only option open to you then you've got a problem with your X-server and you should post details of your error-logs and config-file after you've examined them. Does that help?

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
pointer section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection You have to make sure that the right modules are loaded in the kernel in order to use usb devices. So, if you boot with the PS/2 mouse, you might have to load the modules by hand in order for it to work, otherwise they should load automatically (I'm assuming you're running the stock kernel).

RE: [XFree86] XFConfig requirements for kbd and mouse
To get from a terminal to X, it's usually Alt-F7 (ttys 1-6 are commonly getty login instances). Also there is a program called 'su' which allows you to become the root user. You should check out debian's install documentation from their website. It will help you get accustomed to the basics of the system. Debian offers a ton of great documentation, on the web, and which you can download as .deb packages (use dselect, and go to the Optional/docs section).

I had another look, and for the 810/815 it doesn't do this when
DRI is enabled. I'm not sure why not. Nothing should be referencing
those mappings when the X server is switched away, so it should be safe
to unbind them. If you're using an 810 or 815, try removing the
'&& !pI810->directRenderingEnabled' part below and see if there are
any bad consequences.

If a DRI client is running while you switch away, it will use these mappings (if the i8xx drivers are anything like the radeon drivers). De-initializing the DRI if possible when switching away and re-initializing it when switching back is what the infamous reinit patch for the radeon driver does. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Hmm, I haven't seen any problems with the 830M/845G, etc, which do unbind when switching away, and I have tested with DRI clients running. I'm not so familiar with the radeon drivers, but the Intel chips are the only ones I'm aware of where the user-land code interacts directly with the agpgart module. Physical system memory is allocated when the server starts up. It's then bound into the video memory aperture. It's this binding that's undone when VT switching. The memory allocations are kept until the X server exits (and re-bound into the aperture when VT switching back). The mappings of the various parts of the apertures that the DRI clients see aren't changed. The X server holds the DRI lock while switched away, so that should prevent the clients from attempting to access the hardware, shouldn't it? >De-initializing the DRI if possible when switching away and >re-initializing it when switching back is what the infamous reinit patch >for the radeon driver does. I think that's a little different from what is being discussed here. I think it'd be good to make the reinit work you did more general (work for all drivers), as well as make it possible for the DRI to adapt to changes in video memory usage on the fly. Is your reinit patch in the DRI trunk yet?
