Fw: Reverse engineering Windows Radeon IGP320/340 driver?
I already posted this to the DRI devel mailing list, but perhaps someone here knows more about it. - Original Message - From: Wouter Bijlsma To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 5:40 PM Subject: Reverse engineering Windows Radeon IGP320/340 driver? Hi, I was just wondering if someone has tried to do some reverse engineering on the windows display drivers for the Radeon IGP320/340. As far as I understand the IGP320/340 is based on the Radeon 7000 (R100)? I'm not a display driver developer, but doesn't this mean that apart fromsome differences in the interface to the chipset a DRI driver for the IGP chipset would be largely the same as the 7000 driver? I noticed that the Windows drivers are universal (there's onedriver dll for all R100 based cards), so maybe it would be possible to disassembleit to find the code that detects the chipset and sets up thehooks to address it and tofind the differenceswith the 7000 chips? If this would be feasible, I'd be happy to spend some workon it. Not thatI pretendto be able to code a working 3D driver, but if it turns out the existing 7000 drivercould handle 3D on the IGP320/340 with minor modificationsI might be able toget something to work. I would really, REALLY like to have 3D support under linux on my brand new laptop ;-) I already inquired ATI about linux support, but I don't have the impression they are very willing to provide chipset specs...

Re: twm stop run
Hello Frank Thank you for your answer to the twm question. I am considering fvwm, but I was urged to test fltk. And that urgency was because before of fltk, I tried FOX, with all tests SIGSEGVing at the very start. So, I was doubting regarding my compilation environment for X. I was trying to contact you or another qnx port team member to ask some basic questions. If you don´t take this as abuse, now that I know your mailbox, I would like to ask those again, and directing this mail to you and not the list, because I think this is very specific to QNX 4.x. I tried first the binary distribution from the jcmichot page, but that failed to run, ( later I learned why : it was trying to open a unix socket for local connections ), then I compiled XFree86 4.2 from source, under these restrictions: 1) I don´t have libcrypt, only login, and only in 3r ( login3r.lib ). 2) I have only TCP/IP 4.23 and 4.25 run times, so, no Unix sockets. Then, I adapted QNX4.cf to this environment, eliminating UNIXCONN and changing compiling options to -5r. Also, I needed to ´touch´ some sources and makefiles ( If you consider these interesting, I can post you the changes - in fact, one is to my judge, very important ). All went ok, and, as you could see from my posting to the list, I have a functional X environment. But some questions arise 1 - the most intriguing: why the so big stack ( if you remember, QNX4.cf forces XFree86 linking to -N4096000 ). I tried to figure out if some modules are using alloca, but the allocation coding is so deep wrapped with macros ( also redefined ) that it proves a useless or unsure path. So, I am asking to the people who knows. The main question is that under the QNX 4 execution model, the stack is allocated as hinted, even if the process don´t need all the space. After a while, the data segment continues to grow - some 1 Mb more, I guess. This is ok, because obviously, some data is allocated from heap. But I am asking me if the stack remains largely unused. 2 - from the binary distribution, I see some clients ( xqsh, by example ) whose sources are not in the source tree from xfree.org. Is there a way to get those specific QNX clients sources ? Of course, the main question is keyboard management, I guess. 3 - Some more general xfree distribution question: I noted that cpp is not in the source tree. Thankfully, I had it from the binary previously installed. How could I obtain the source ? Thank you in advance Regards Marcelo Nicolet - Original Message - From: Frank Liu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 1:59 AM Subject: Re: twm stop run possibly a twm bug, I would suggest trying another window manager like fvwm. ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Would it actually be possible to get something useful out of this, or is this to complex or involved for me? Would the results be of any use to the DRI developers? I'm not talking about reverse engineering the whole driver, only finding out if the IGP chipset is very different from the 7000. What you could do is compare the current IGP 2D code in CVS with the r100 code, then look at differences and start messing with the r100 DRI driver. The fix might not be all that complicated.

The problem WRT 3D on the whole range of IGP chipsets is that the relevant DRI developers don't have access to the hardware. Moreover, most of them don't have the bandwidth to work on debugging the problems. Ok, I understand RE might irritate HW companies and that this is not a good thing. I already sent a really polite e-mail about support for the IGP chipsets to ATI, and I hope a lot of people will do the same. The problem is that (as I see it) more and more companies are closing up their specs anyway (nVidia, but they never even provided specs of their chips, Agreed.

[XFree86] XFree86 and codepage 866
Hello! I need to have a separate rxvt session with codepage IBM-866 (DOS cyrillic) inside. Unfortunately, XFree86 does not support it natively. I tried to add some files to the lib/X11/locale/ directory which describes the codepage, but when LANG=ru_RU.CP866 XSupportsLocale() anyways returns that current locale is not supported. Is there a way to add codepage 866 support without having to hack Xlib source code? I was told that Xlib have these code pages built-in, thus there is no way to add a new translation table without recompiling Xlib. This is very sad as I always thought Unix is a flexible operating system :-( -- Greetings, Andrew P.S. If developers don't want to make code page translation tables external to Xlib, maybe they can add at least the possibility to look for such files in the case Xlib *doesnt know* the requested translation table? Otherwise poor people like me will always have to do dirty tricks in order to handle data exchange with legacy operating systems (in my case I need the 866 codepage because it is used in russian Windows consoles and this cannot be changed). ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

[XFree86] Trident XP4m32
Folks, I've put XFree86 4.3.0 (w/FreeBSD) on a Toshiba Tecra M1. The chip is a Trident XP4m32 which appears to be brand new and is not supported by XFree86 trident driver. The vesa driver works _except_ the colors are all screwed up. I've spent a couple of days on the web and reading the man pages and have yet to figure out how to get access to the color map in use by the vesa driver. Is it possible? Is there a tool which I can use to manipulate the color map? Any help would be appreciated. thanks dayton ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Re: [XFree86] Can't start X
We need to see the /var/log/XFree86.0.log Hi Mark, I had attached it to the initial posting. But I have also made a little progress, so maybe I don't need to send it to the list again. (I can do that if necessary, but I also want to respect bandwidth.) I am using the Jetway P4MFP533 motherboard with built-in Prosavage DDR display. I believe that was the problem, since changing the Driver in the Device section from savage to vesa allows the GUI to start up. Of course, I'm probably not getting the benefit of any of the acceleration built into the chip set, so now I have to figure out if I can get a better savage driver, and if I can figure out how to load it. I found one here: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html, but it doesn't say it works with XFree86 4.3.0-2, which is what I'm using with RH9. Any ideas or suggestions ?

[XFree86] Compiling XFree with BuildLowMem

Re: [XFree86] Fail to boot into X, please help
I argee what you said, I have installed Redhat 7.0 and 8.0 successfully on this machine. I think it is not the problem of X server. If that is the case, could you or anyone point me to a document that can tell me how to fix it or how to change the X login program. Thanks, Andy Goth wrote: On Monday, June 9, 2003 12:32 am, Keung Chi Tat wrote: I am using Redhat linux 9.0. We feel for you. :^) Everytime my try to start X, it will switch into graphic mode ( look fine), after a few second, it switch back to text, and then switch between graphic mode and text mode serveral time. Final it show up a dialog in text mode with a sentence, "Failed to start display server serval times in a short period; disabling display :0" attachments are my XFree86 log file and config , Your log doesn't indicate a failure. In fact, it doesn't even show the server exiting, as if the server was up and running at the time you copied it. One idea comes to mind... maybe your server is working but your X login program (xdm, kdm, etc.) either isn't there or exits immediately (crash?). That will cause your server to give all appearances of crashing without giving any errors in the log.
[XFree86] Unable to StartX
Title: Message I sent a message similar to this one the other day, but I relaized the log that I sent with it was basically unreadable. So I cleaned up the log so it's not such a jumble of words. Here's my problem. When I type 'startx', or 'xf86cfg' my screen goes blank like it's about to open up a GUI, but instead just gives me a black screen with blinking cursor, and I can't get anything out of it. I'm running OBSD 3.3 on a Compaq EVO D300V 1.4machine. The graphics card should be a built in Intel. Can anyone please look at the log file attached, and get back to me if you see anything? I've been struggling with this one for about three days now... Thanks! XFree86.8.log Description: Binary data
