[XFree86] X-ing to other hosts
Psuedo-newb here... Two hosts mars and jupiter both have linux and XFree installed, both work fine and without incident. My objective would be to use just mars and be able to start an X session on either mars or jupiter without having to go back and forth between two keyboards. Suggestions? How is this done...? What config is required on jupiter to allow X access from mars? What config is required on mars to enable me to launch an X session on either mars or jupiter?

[XFree86] ModeLine rejected == Default Used
While attempting (and failing) to find a ModeLine that works, I found some oddities. I've put in some very wide ranges for Horizontal and Vertical timings. The log file shows them as being accepted, near as I can tell. Various ModeLines I was trying would be rejected "(illegal vertical timings)", but I just figured that was you guys being smart (yay!) and saving me from blowing up my monitor or something... But then I put in one that was rejected, and the SAME numbers end up getting used anyway as one of the default settings. Is that weird, or am I just not understanding something? I suppose it's possible that ModeLines from idiots (me) would be rejected as "dangerous" while others that got hand-checked somehow (?) by geniuses (you guys) would have the same numbers and work as defaults, but that seems kind of odd... XF86Config and XFree86.0.log (revised slightly from previous post) are here: http://l-i-e.com/xfree86/ It's still very speckly, though the lower dot-clocks seem to make it more "vertical streaky" rather than "speckly" at least until I move the mouse around... Just what sort of fine-grained numbers should one try in the binary search between a ModeLine that is "speckly" (dot clock too high?) and one that is rejected out of hand? IE, if 15.00 is "illegal vertical timings" and 15.01 is speckly, is 15.005 an option or do I just give up at that point? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] Cirrus Logic GD 7548 Woes
Unfortunately you may be pretty much on your own. the Cirrus driver is pretty much unsupported as noone who could support it has the HW. Would it be practical to: A) Provide SSH root access to somebody @XFree86.org, or B) Ship somebody the laptop as a loaner C) ??? Obviously A) is much easier, but I dunno what you can tell without seeing the screen, and I don't have a web-cam handy... Though I do need to set one up eventually anyway, so I reckon I could move that higher on the priority list. And, of course, the odds on XFree86 folks having the time to mess with this are pretty small unless a lot of people have these things and so it's worth it to you to support them. If you find a solution please let us know. The spikes and crackles usually appear when the memory bus is congested. Sometimes this can get fixed by reducing the pixel clock or increasing the memory clock. I'll try that. Pixel clock is the "dot clock" right? What's the memory clock? Unfortunately there is support for chaning the memory clock in this driver. "[no] support" right? Guess I don't really care what a memory clock is then, eh? Better to know for tomorrow's laptop though. :-) Setting the option PCI_Retry may also help however the cirrus driver has no support for this. We have a similar report about a Cirrus Laguna chip in our bugzilla. To be sure I understand -- My only course of action on my own is to try successively lower "dot clocks" in various ModeLines until I find one that works. Right? Any recommended increments? Or is there some kind of algorithm for guessing these things, based on the one that kinda sorta works? Or should I attack it right at the minimum: (==) CIRRUS(0): Min pixel clock is 12 MHz (--) CIRRUS(0): Max pixel clock is 80 MHz (II) CIRRUS(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 80.10 MHz THANKS!!! -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] image that causes LCD to flicker violently
Hi everyone, I've noticed that some websites cause my screen to flicker. It seems to have something to do with something in the image that is attached to this email.. To reproduce the flickering, all I need to do is open the png in full size and move it to the left edge of the screen, and then my LCD will flicker violently. I'm really not sure what the cause of it might be, although it could be * the r128 ati driver * gatos drivers * something in XFree86 server itself * Thinkpad a22p firmware Does this image cause the same effect for anyone else here?

Well, the same file descriptor is being used for all three regions and it is definitely being open()'ed for read & write, so I don't see why the XLUT mmap() is the only one failing with EACCES. However, it seems the OS' device driver is imposing additional restrictions not documented in the mmap() man page, given FB and X32 private mmap()'s are being nixed.

You may want to try either "PS/2" "ImPS/2" or "Auto" under 4.3. Maybe you should edit /etc/X11/XF86Config manually to change this.

Re: [XFree86] Cirrus Logic GD 7548 Woes
Unfortunately you may be pretty much on your own. the Cirrus driver is pretty much unsupported as noone who could support it has the HW. If you find a solution please let us know. The spikes and crackles usually appear when the memory bus is congested. Sometimes this can get fixed by reducing the pixel clock or increasing the memory clock. Unfortunately there is support for chaning the memory clock in this driver. Setting the option PCI_Retry may also help however the cirrus driver has no support for this. We have a similar report about a Cirrus Laguna chip in our bugzilla. Egbert. Richard Lynch writes: > Please CC me with any replies...
