It appears to be the current behaviour, so I guess it is "normal" in
that sense, but I would classify it as a bug. And a nasty one, at that.

[XFree86] [Fwd: KDE starts in FailSafe mode only]

2004-09-22 Thread M Buckley

--- Begin Message ---
Hi.

Can anybody out there help me? I have recently upgraded to XFree86 4.4
from 4,3 on RedHat 9.0 i686 system. The KDM manager loads as normal but
with strange little grey console screen for some reason. If I select KDE
the splash screen does not load and i end up with couple of little
windows. terminal, xterm etc. I can type startkde in terminal and kde
loads but any windows do not have minimise, max and close buttons in top
right of window. The top bar is just grey aswell. 

If I start KDE from root outside X

Get following errors:

rm: cannot remove '.' or '. .'
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
xrdb: cant open display ''
xset: unable to open display ""
ksplash: cannot connect to x server
kdeinit: Aborting $DISPLAY is not set
KSM server: cannot connect to x server

if i try xstart before this get fatal server error. server already
running, if not delete /tmp blah blah

only way of starting kde is in fail safe mode. X console always stays
open and reports fonts.dir problems missing element 64 plus many other
errors. This is not a problem but spent days trying to figure this. Got
to be a solution.

[XFree86] system crash

2004-09-22 Thread Steve Wallace

The KDE will no longer start on my Mandrake 9.2 system on bootup. Further, running 'startx' at the command line suggests I send the attached log file /var/log/XFree86.0.log to this address. 
 
Any ideas what happened?

[XFree86] How to remove iconize button in X11 window

Hi,

Is there some soft of twm tweak, or something similar that will remove the
"round" iconize
button on the upper-left corner of X11 windows? I do not wish to
implement --geometry or
programatically maximize any window.
If I must modify some source, can anyone point me with file/code lines to
modify?

[XFree86] missing config in inary reslease

2004-09-22 Thread Dieter Raith
I installed
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc23
completely.
Then I wanted to install KDE-3.3.0 using the konstruct tool.
This failed in kdebase. I tracked it down to the fact that
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
did not find the config data. So I extraced them from the source 
tarball. It went a little
further. Now

host.def, version.def, site.def, date.def
are missing. Is it possible to generate these? I thought the binary 
package to the best way
to install X11 without too much trouble.

Any suggestions
Rgds

On the assumption that this xdpyinfo output is in fact relevent, then your 
server strace shows, among other things, two client connections repeatedly 
calling XShmPutImage(), to which the server never replies (with success or 
failure).

At this point, I don't really know whether it's relevent to the problem that 
there are two such connections, nor whether the lack of server response is 
normal XShmPutImage() behaviour for this case.  For the latter, I'd like you to 
capture another server strace, this one without Xinerama and as near as 
possible to the scenario that would cause the Xinerama loop.  Please take care 
to not delete the original strace's you've made available through your web 
site.

If this non-hang strace shows a server response to the client's XShmPutImage() 
(or some other server behaviour), then there's likely something amiss with 
xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/shm.c's ProcPanoramiXShmPutImage(), perhaps with its 
handling of sendEvent, at which point I'd ask Mark, one with more knowledge of 
Xinerama internals than me, to investigate further.

The server strace also shows -- and this might be a red herring -- a number of 
client connections making XCreateColormap() calls.  Some of these are being 
accepted by the server, but most are being nixed, presumably due to VisualID 
settings/differences.

http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/manindex4.html lists a man page for s3 virge,

I can load the module "s3" if I specify it explicitly, but have not yet been 
able to configure it. Is the 3.3.6 documentation still applicable?

I've also tried starting Xfree86 w/o any config file to let the server 
auto-configure, but to no avail. The resulting log file from that particular 
attempt is attached. The video card seems to appear at multiple bus addresses 
(and on buses 0, 64, and 65?). The lspci command shows the chip/card at 
PCI:0:6:0, which is the first of the probe results, but that doesn't appear 
to get chosen as "primary". And what are all those other probe results 
anyway?
I don't really see how these ghost devices could still be detected.  Can you

   I believe the i845 wasn't supported until XFree86 4.3.0 (you
are running 4.2.0).  You should probably upgrade to at least 4.3.0.
4.4.0 is the newest XFree86 version.

   My Xinerama system stays up for weeks on end and I spend alot of
time using Mozilla and Netscape.  Perhaps one of these new apps is
using RENDER and it's something related to that?  If there was a
fundamental bug in shm's Xinerama support I would have expected
somebody to find it long ago.  That code is many years old and
I'm not aware of any outstanding bugs.  It seems more likely that
there is some new extension usage going on, and that extension
has some Xinerama issues.

Believe me, I really did google quite a bit for the specific error 
message "could not open default font 'fixed'", without being able to 
find an answer that could resolve my problem.  That's why I asked this 
question here. 

It's been the number one question for a couple years now and as

I understand your sentiment.  If there's a useful X troubleshooter page 
(I obviously haven't found one), it would be helpful to steer people 
with this type of problem to it.  Eventually, all the google hits would 
then link to that same resource.

Mark.
Hint: RedHat and derivatives configure X to *require* a font server yet
 they don't seem to be able to ensure that the font server stays
 running.
 

That seems like an unwise choice no doubt. Thanks for the hint.
In my case, xfs seems to be running, however.
# service xfs status
xfs (pid 2854) is running...

I'm assuming this wouldn't change when X freezes? Under that assumption, this

Thanks, this helps muchly.  The only reason I can think of that this output
would not correspond to that of the looping server would be extensions being
initialised in a different order, a situation I see as highly unlikely, if at
all possible.

On the assumption that this xdpyinfo output is in fact relevent, then your
server strace shows, among other things, two client connections repeatedly
calling XShmPutImage(), to which the server never replies (with success or
failure).

At this point, I don't really know whether it's relevent to the problem that
there are two such connections, nor whether the lack of server response is
normal XShmPutImage() behaviour for this case.  For the latter, I'd like you to
capture another server strace, this one without Xinerama and as near as
possible to the scenario that would cause the Xinerama loop.  Please take care
to not delete the original strace's you've made available through your web
site.

If this non-hang strace shows a server response to the client's XShmPutImage()
(or some other server behaviour), then there's likely something amiss with
xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/shm.c's ProcPanoramiXShmPutImage(), perhaps with its
handling of sendEvent, at which point I'd ask Mark, one with more knowledge of
Xinerama internals than me, to investigate further.

  My Xinerama system stays up for weeks on end and I spend alot of
time using Mozilla and Netscape.  Perhaps one of these new apps is
using RENDER and it's something related to that?  If there was a
fundamental bug in shm's Xinerama support I would have expected
somebody to find it long ago.  That code is many years old and
I'm not aware of any outstanding bugs.  It seems more likely that
there is some new extension usage going on, and that extension
has some Xinerama issues.
The strace doesn't show any other extension being involved.  IOW, there is no 
call to feel defensive about this.  The facts will speak for themselves.

Marc.

[XFree86] How did I break run level 5 login during RH9 => 4.4.0 transition?

2004-09-22 Thread William Norfleet
I downloaded 4.4.0 from xfree86.org and installed per
the instructions on a Thinkpad 600E running Red Hat 9.
 All is well except that booting into run level 5
generates a strange desktop with several xterms and an
xsm window, not the usual Red Hat login screen. 
Changing inittab to default to run level
3, booting, logging in at the console prompts, and
running startx with a hand-written .xinitrc ending in
"exec gnome-session" works fine.  But I'm curious: 
what got broken during this transition?

Gah, the one site that always reproduced the bug just redesigned their site
and won't trigger the bug. I'll be back with that strace as soon as I remember
one of the other sites that triggered the bug.

Thanks.
