How to convert the server time in xEvent to system time?

2004-08-10 Thread Weidong Cui
Hi, There,

xEvent.u.keyButtonPointer.time (aka 'server time'?), defined in
X11/Xproto.h, indicates the number of milliseconds elapsed since the X
server started.  I want to convert it to an absolute time which then can
be compared with times recorded by gettimeofday () in some other program.
Unfortunately, after spending a lot of time, I still can't find out how to
do it.  If you happen to know how to do it, can you please tell me?

Thanks a lot!
Weidong Cui

(**) I810(0): *Built-in mode 800x600
(**) I810(0): *Built-in mode 640x480
I already tried to replace the 800x600 mode by 1024x768 using Poirer's 
855resolution , but it does not work (I loose the 800x600 mode, and 
can not get 1024x768, ending only with 640x480).

Does any one know why this is happening? WindowsXP and a commercial X 
server (Xi Graphics) both can reach 1024x768.

I'm not sure what you're complaining about.  The thread you replied to, 
which you included in your quoted text, includes the solution to your

I don't know much about this, but I would suggest, that you use the  
time-function to get the time in seconds.
You divide the number of milliseconds to get seconds and then subtract  
the values.
You get the time of the start of the X-Server in seconds.

Maybe you can use this idea

Hi, Oliver,

Thanks a lot for your reply.  I tried this idea before.  But the time of the
start of the X server I got in this way was not accurate enough for my
purpose.

Does anybody know how X computes the time stamp for xEvents?

Thanks,

You can download movies, console games and stuff.  I managed to download 8 CD's so far.
You have to see these guys' collection - it's wild.
They show you how to burn em to CD and everything.

Re: [XFree86] cannot run Xinstall.sh

2004-08-10 Thread ENRIQUE BENITO PRIETO
Title: Re: [XFree86] cannot run Xinstall.sh






Take care of the NOTE at the installation instructions:


http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/Install2.html#2

The Xinstall.sh script must be downloaded in binary mode, otherwise it will not run correctly. If you get lots of command not found messages when you try to run it, then it is most likely because the script was not downloaded in binary mode. Some web browsers will not do this for files of that name, so we also have a copy of it called Xinstall.bin, and most browsers should download that correctly. When downloading it under this name, select save as on your browser, and save the file under the name Xinstall.sh. 




If you download with the Web browser, try to select to download from the web site http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/ and select Save AS. The windows message will ask you for a name and extension for the file, just select in type All Files.

You can copy this file to a floppy and check that everything went right.


I did that way last week with Windows XP and Internet Explorer and everything worked fine. 






[XFree86] Xfree86 Blank screen on Exit.

2004-08-10 Thread Q
Hi, I have some problems with xfree86 that I have been struggling to 
resolve for the last few weeks.

You see when I close X, either by logging out of KDE (or some other 
session) or by crtl, alt and backspace, sometimes the screen will just 
go dark and stay that way. Originally I thought it might have something 
to do with the framebuffer - but after a long struggle I gave up the 
framebuffer to see what would happen. Unfortunately it appears to have 
made no difference whatsoever.

It doesn't quite lock up my system as such, but since I can't see 
anything, my only option is to press crtl alt and del to reboot.

I am curious if maybe this was because I originally installed Xfree 4.4 
- and then I realised that ati didn''t provide any drivers for 4.4, so I 
decided I would revert back to 4.3. But in doing so I am curious if 
somehow some of my paths might have got screwed up?

The question is, how do I check?
Reading around Google here are some of the tips I picked up on things I 
could try.

[code]$ ldd `which glxgears` | grep libGL
   libGL.so.1 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x40016000)
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9800 Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.11.1)
$ slocate libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib/libGL.so.1.2
/usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1.2
/usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1[/code]
So by looking at that, if the which glxgears command is correct, it 
seems  that the path to my ati libGL is somehow innacurate?

I ask as I am now officially at a loss for things to try. I don't think 
it's normal or accceptable for my system to fault and become unusable 
like this quite this often. I already had enough of this stuff over the 
years with Windows. It might for a lesser mortal lead them to forma very 
bad impression of Linux.

But in any case frustration aside, is there some way I can make sure all 
of my paths are correct? If so which should I be looking for - and if 
they are indeed wrong how can I fix them?

On another note if all else fails and I have no other option, how would 
i go about removing every trace of X from my system? I mean I know I can 
do an emerge unmerge, but I am not sure if that would be enough to 
return my system to a point before X was installed. How can I be 
absolutely certain that when I remove it, no trace of it at all will remain?

At least that way I hamight have a chance that I can be sure that I can 
start again from scratch.

Any input anyone can offer would be very much appreciated.

You might need to type ./Xinstall.sh, if you're not, even after changing 
to the directory where it is.  Otherwise you have to set up the path.

Re: [XFree86] Setting up X-Windows on an Old machine

2004-08-10 Thread Mark Vojkovich
  You should probably remove the Option UseFBDev line in your
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.  I don't think the mga driver needs
that and from the looks of the log file, the framebuffer device
doesn't like your card.

  I don't know why Debian's installer keeps trying to use
the framebuffer device.  As far as I can tell, it's much less
likely to work than the native XFree86 drivers.

[XFree86] PS2 Mouse Killed My Keyboard...

2004-08-10 Thread Jon Mirhadi
Hey...
Ok so i managed to get X up and running however my serial mouse wansn't 
working. Instead of doing too much messing about i decided i'd just chuck on 
a PS2 mouse and change the settings according in xconfig.  However, i had 
heard horror stories that if a PS2 mouse is installed but not functioning 
then it kills the keyboard...and guess what...my keyboard has been killed.  
It works up untill x starts loading (the green lights go off after this).  
Basicallly what i am asking is how can i get back to edit my config file 
when the keyboard doesn't work (can't do CTRL+ALT+F2 for example).  Is there 
a way to stop x from loading...?

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Jon,

I hope you dont blame your mouse for murder. What your need is to tell
init to go into another runlevel. You can do this at the boot prompt, just
type the runlevel after the kernelname you what to boot.

lilo linux 2

I dont know which runlevel and bootloader you have (either I know your
kernels name) depends on your distribution/installation ... 2 might be a
good guess.

Hope that helps, BUT

[XFree86] Dual Head PLUS Dual inputdev ?

2004-08-10 Thread niki
Hi all,

I would like to ask if someone can help or point me to the correct subject
in the docu, how to assign one inputdev like one usb keyboard to one
screen and another usbkeyboard to another screen.

We have already tried starting two X servers on two different grafic
cards. It does not work, because only one screen was active at one time.

Also tried dual head cards (Matrox G550, GF5200, ATI 9600) with different
results in their dual head potentials - but with the same regarding the
inputdevices - they cannot be assigns only to one of the resulting
screens.

I would prefer to asign the inpudev in the Screen section of the
XF86config file rather than in the ServerLayout section. That means that I
dont have to start 2 Xservers.

What I try to do is to attach 2 Keyboards, 2 Mice, and 2 Screens to one
machine, and let 2 people work with it.

Is this possible ? Please tell me how!

best regards, niki

There are several possible ways for this.

Usually, this kind of solutions start multiple X servers for Multiple
users (one X server per each user).  You also need to patch your kernel
to use multiple independent keyboards. (Normal linux kernel doesn't
support multiple keyboards)  

You can find this at the following website: 
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO.html

To support multiple users with one X server, there are lots of thing to
do in the X server, yet no need to patch kernel and some more
advantages.  
I have been working on it for a long time. But, I can't give you
detailed information for this because my company pay me for this
project.. :-\   We are planning to provide evaluation version for this
in the near future.  You can find more info at http://www.userful.com/.

Good luck.
Jason.
