The latter has DRI enabled but the former does not. I was able to switch between them and use the overlay on either one without problems, the overlay worked on both X servers. It was only when I played quake, and only when I played it for an extended period of time that the overlay stopped working on the main X server. The weird thing is that it still works fine on the 800x600 DRI-enabled X server.

Mark Vojkovich [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm assuming by not working, it looks like it's working from a client point of view, but the overlay just never shows. Well, I imagine that's the case. Or else mplayer is just failing to detect the failure. Is there a canonical test program that would be guaranteed to be handling error handling properly? It's conceivable that overlay fifo underflow in the chip could cause the overlay to stop functioning. Well I don't see any errors logged about fifo underflow. This is why I'm not a hardware guy. When you have no visibility to what's going on how are you supposed to debug anything? I've seen it happen on some NVIDIA cards. If this is happening, the OverclockMem option might help. Apps are supposed to grab the port when they use it. If another app tries to use it, they will fail to access the grabbed port. Yeah, if I try to run a second mplayer I get: Xv: could not grab port 61 Could not find free Xvideo port - maybe another process is already using it. So that's not exactly it. I noticed this in the mga(4) man page: Option TexturedVideo boolean This has XvImage support use the texture engine rather than the video overlay. This option is only supported by G200 and later chips, and only at 16 and 32 bits per pixel. Default: off. Does this allow for more than a single port? There's no reason the card would be limited to a single texture after all, it handles hundreds during a quake game. -- greg ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Fix for Xv resolution loss problem with Matrox cards (Michael Lampe). but, if I recall correctly, some of the resolution loss issues with Matrox cards were because the video scaler didn't have enough bandwidth to display the full resolution. Reclaiming the resolution in bandwidth challenging situations probably results in fifo underflows which, at least on the NVIDIA cards that I'm familiar with, would produce results like you are describing. I don't follow that at all. What do you mean by resolution loss and reclaiming the resolution? Looking at that change it seems like it just removed a bunch of functionality including the accelerated 2x horizontal zoom and didn't replace it at all. It also changed a couple magic constants. But I don't see how this code would make it work sometimes and not other times. Specifically how it would work fine for a while and then stop working completely. It seems more like a higher level state corruption. Like maybe it still things some other client is connected to the Xv port even though nothing is any more. Is there some way to query to see what X thinks is using the Xv scaler? Or whatever other state is being kept? xvinfo doesn't seem to change output at all when mplayer is running. -- greg ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: Patch to TWM to make NoGrabServer affect resize as well as move
Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: it is doing it to guarantee it can undraw its rubber banded xored lines to display the outline where u are moving to or resizing to. if you disable this you will get display artifacts and garbage on your screen if a program redraws or changes its window contents while u are moving and resizing and a rubber band is over that window. Yeah, I actually figured that out after I sent the message. Personally, while the rubber band artifacts are bad, the grabbed server is worse. There is no opaque resize option in twm. I would welcome an option to do opaque resizes or use some other method for avoiding the artifacts, but in the meantime I would really like to get away without the grabs. It's not like NoGrabServer is the default. Anyone enabling it can make the decision for themselves if they prefer the visual correctness of the grab but the practical problems of frozen clients versus the practical benefits of avoiding the grab but the minor problems it causes. -- greg ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Patch to TWM to make NoGrabServer affect resize as well as move
I got annoyed at twm grabbing the server whenever I resized windows. I mean
seriously annoyed. It freezes videos playing in other windows, even other
screens. This plays havoc with streaming network connections.
So I looked at the code. It doesn't seem to me that there's anything more
special about resizing than moving or the other cases where the grab can be
disabled by the user.
Is there some danger I'm unaware of that makes it absolutely critical to grab
the server during the resize? Or is twm just doing it specially to annoy me.
I tried the following patch and everything seems to be working fine. I haven't
run into any problems at all from it. And my video now plays smoothly while
I'm resizing windows. I'm much happier now.

It seems to only turn off the main monitor (display 0) normally. [Conversations get confusing when you put answers before the questions] Thanks for your help. I've been playing more attention to when this problem occurs and when it doesn't. In fact it's more subtle than I realized at first. When I first start up the X server dpms does manage to shut down all three monitors whenever it screensaves. When I run mplayer it turns off screen saving. I guess that's a good thing since it does suck when the screen saver kicks in in the middle of a movie. And the mouse and keyboard are likely to be idle for a long time while the movie is playing. When mplayer finishes it reenables dpms. But from that point on things don't work properly any more. Sometimes nothing screen saves (perhaps when mplayer crashes?). Then even when I try to turn on screen saving with xset I can't get it to work on the non-primary monitors. Even if I run xset force off on one of the secondary screens it's still just the primary monitor that turns off. -- greg ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Help! I would like to first compliment everyone on the state of the software and its stability. As I have been working with this system since X10 days, things are pretty cool. Now I understand that new features are great and maximizing available capabilities is great, but HOW THE HELL DO YOU TURN OFF COLOR SUPPORT FOR XTERM? Im using XFree86 4.3.99.5(179) from RedHats Fedora distribution and using a TERM type of xterm. If I wanted color I would have used xterm-color or something. I have tried using xterm-mono but that doesnt work either. As a matter of fact I have tried every term type I could think of, and except for dumb, bold characters are showing as yellow on white. This makes MAN pages kind of hard to read. Since colored text is for pussies anyway, all I want is to turn the damn color features OFF. Can you point me in the right direction?

[XFree86] SyncOnGreen for Sun 1662b fixed resolution monitor?
Which drivers and cards are capable of sync on green and what do I need to achieve it? I've put the ``Option SyncOnGreen'' in the Monitor section. Do I need a separate csync option somewhere? Browsing the source it seems not every driver implements this. I have a choice of three graphics cards: :02:0b.0 Display controller: Texas Instruments TVP4010 [Permedia] (rev 01) :02:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT] (rev 41) :01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 04) From the source it looks like the only one that actually implements SyncOnGreen is the MGA driver. That kind of sucks because I really don't want to give up the good graphics card for my main monitor. Is there any way to get sync on green using either of these other cards? Maybe a jumper? What other inexpensive cards that I might find in a bargain bin are capable of sync-on-green? This is all to try and get a Sun 1662b monitor working. I think I have a few reasonable modelines constructed from the available information on the net. I'm not entirely clear how to allocate time between the sync pulse and front and back porches though.

[XFree86] Spurious button press/release event with imps2 scroll mouse.
After starting kdrive Xfbdev with a ps/2 scroll mouse, I get a button press and button release event for button 3 the first time I move the mouse. This is consistently repeatable, and I have seen it happen with X 4.3 and 4.4, compiled on two different toolchains, running on Linux 2.2 and 2.4, on two distinct PCs. I haven't seen it happen with non-kdrive X. Based on the mice I have on hand, it doesn't happen with usb mice, or any non scroll mouse. It does happen with a Logitech ps/2 scroll mouse, a Microsoft optical wheel mouse, and a no-name ps/2 scroll mouse. Also, the same Microsoft optical wheel mouse does not show this behaviour when used via USB instead. Has anyone else seen this? In case it helps, here's some output from xev.

RE: XGrabButton() BadAccess error
Hi Mark,
I suspect that you are right - I think MetaCity is grabbing it, and causing
my grab to crash. Is it easy to install another window manager, and which
one would you recommend?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: XGrabButton() BadAccess error
This is not my area of expertise, but the man page and X-server code
suggest that this only happens when this button is already grabbed by
another client. That means either you double grab in your app using
separate display connections, or another app is grabbing it. Have you tried
running with a different window manager?

I have summarised the key calls of the failing code below. As you can
see, the program opens a control panel via Xt, then opens a Big window
(for graphics text) via X. Mouse events in the Big window used to be
read via the XtAppNextEvent() call, after an XGrabButton() call had
been made, but the call to XGrabButton() is now failing with a
BadAccess, so we never see the events from the Big window.
If I use the CWOverrideRedirect option (which seems a strange thing to
do on a big display window like this), then the XGrabButton works OK,
but (as you might expect) the Big window has no title or borders is
always on top (not what we want).
Here is the sequence of the major calls:

[XFree86] different resolutions in xinerama?
Is it possible to run different resolutions on different screens with xinerama. I have a 17 monitor and a 14 monitor, but I'm not crazy about running 1024x768 on the 17 and the 14 doesn't support more than 1024x768. Is it possible to run the 17 at 1280x1024 (was using this resolution prior to setting up xinerama) and have the 14 at 1024x768 or even 800x600? gf ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] crash with GL?
When using the nvidia driver opengl is provided through that driver not xfree(mesa). Try reinstalling the xfree driver module following the instruction on nvidia's website. Then run glxinfo to insure that nvidia's libgl is actually providing the opengl functionality. If not then there is possibly a conflicting set of libraries installed on your system.

Re: [I18n] locale issues under linux
That is one of the many strange things that have gotten me stumped. The locale.alias file that was installed in the system by make install is empty, as are the locale.dir and compose.dir files. The locale I am using is en_US. With the program I wrote I tested: en_US, en_CA, ja_JP, en_AU, C, en, and a few others. All returned OS supports locale. Xlib does not support locale. So it seems that nls is working in my glibc, just not XLib. Reality is but a brief respite between my fantasies. -unknown
Re: [I18n] locale issues under linux
Ok, I seem to have solved my problem. As pointed out by Jungshik, my locale.alias file was in need of editing. Now the problem I have is; Why did the Makefile install empty files into my X11-dir/lib/X11/locale directory? On top of that all subdirectories contain empty compose.dir, XLC_LOCALE, and XI18N_OBJS. Is there a fix to this problem? Am I stuck editing the Imakefile myself? Finally, has anybody else run into this problem? Again, thank you for any help. Reality is but a brief respite between my fantasies. -unknown
[I18n] locale issues under linux
I recently sent the following e-mail to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailling list but received no reply, perhaps this list is more suited for the topic.
I have been attempting to compile Xfree from cvs tag xf-4_3-branch. Everything compiles fine, but I keep getting the same three errors when running any program that attempts to modify the locale.
1)Locale not supported by Xlib, setting locale to 'C'
2)X locale modifiers not supported, using default
and possibly unrelated to the first two
3)Failed to open input method
I wrote a small program to test the system:
/*begin*/
#include stdio.h
#include iostream
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include X11/Xlocale.h
using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char* args[]) {
if (argc != 2) {
cout Syntax:\n;
cout xlibtest locale_name\n;
return 1;
}
char* locale_name = args[1];
cout Checking locale ' locale_name ' for validity.\n;
char* OSstr = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, locale_name);
char* Xstr = XSetLocaleModifiers(locale_name);
if (OSstr == NULL) {
cout Locale not supported by OS.\n;
}else{
cout ' OSstr ';
cout supported by OS.\n;
}
if (XSupportsLocale()) {
cout Locale supported by Xlib.\n;
} else {
cout Locale not supported by Xlib.\n;
}
if (Xstr == NULL) {
cout X locale modifiers not supported.\n;
}else{
cout Xstr \n;
}
return 0;
}/*end*/
Running the program a number of times with different locales, I received the same result. My system supports the locale, but xlib does not.
Is there some setup step I am missing, perhaps an environment variable that I have not set or a modules I am not loading? An RPM of 4.2.1 worked fine, is there some patch that must be applied?
I am searching through lcWrap.c right now to try and determine where the problem is originating, but I seem to be stuck. I have attached my XFree86.log file and my site.def file. I would send the make World log file but it is rather large(6MB). If it is needed I will send it.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Reality is but a brief respite between my fantasies.

Re: [XFree86] Help Required.
Use NVIDIA's driver, while not being open source(bad), it does provide a much higher frame rate than the xfree driver(good). The driver is available on NVIDIA's website along with fairly simple install instructions. Remeber to download both the kernel module(NVIDIA_kernel) and the xfree86 glx module(NVIDIA_GLX). It should work with your current xfree install. Remeber this is only an alternative to upgrading xfree and using the newer nv driver. Maybe someday nvidia will release the source for the drivers. Reality is but a brief respite between my fantasies. -unknown
[XFree86] GLINT bug
I have my third monitor working now with the GLINT driver but I've noticed a strange screen corruption bug. It seems often i end up with purple bits on the screen. It seems to be due to some specific optimization as it affects specific areas of specific windows repeatably. And it seems to be sensitive to the precise location on the screen as sometimes simply moving the window a few pixels over makes it not go away. For example in the gimp the little triangle in the ruler that moves with the mouse pointer leaves purple turds behind as it moves around. Also, the icons in the gimp toolbox have purple bits in them. And the scroll bars in gnomeicu message windows are purple. Here are a couple screenshots -- one of them is actually of a gimp window with a screenshot of a gimp toolbox inside it. attachment: xbug.pngattachment: xbug2.png Here is a couple interesting excerpts from the XFree86 log.

[XFree86] Multiple monitors in cyclic layout?
I have three monitors running now. Two are in 800x600 and one in 1600x1200. Ideally I want them configured something like: /--\/--\ | || | | || | \--/| | /--\| | | || | | || | \--/\--/ Making it possible to go from any screen to any other screen. However the best I seem to be able to do is something like this: /--\ | | | | \--/ / \/--\ | || | | || | \--/| | | | | | | | \--/ In which it's impossible to go from the upper 800x600 screen to the main 1600x1200 screen and vice versa. with a layout like this: Screen Default Screen Screen Second Screen LeftOf Default Screen Screen Third Screen Above Second Screen Is it possible to do what I want or does the multi-screen handling only link the screens together in one big acyclic chain? -- greg ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I have no idea, that sounds like an internal problem to me. I just noted a reproducable problem and reported it. And why do you include your config and log file instead of attaching it? I'm sorry, I had no idea that I needed to follow a specific etiquette for attaching files for a bug to be taken seriously. The only way one could help is by knowing where it is spinning. Since both your report and the one you point to mention the Nvidia binary driver it is quite likely the cause of the problem. I reported that this occurred with the free nv driver also, which is your driver yes? And I was merely pointing to the other thread to establish the fact that this issue was reproduceable, as all bug reports should. So tell me how to tell you where it is spinning instead of yelling at me for not telling you. We do not support this driver. No shit. Thanks for the update. Please report your problem to Nvidia. I am not convinced that it is the nvidia driver. You also may want to let the Xserver load fonts itself without using a font server. This has solved several problems, too. I'll try it. I would like to help but your rudeness is incredibly offputting. It makes me want to tell you to F*** off and die instead of follow-up with more useful information.

[XFree86] kdrive/tinyx and DPMS screen blanking
Hi I've just swiched from a regular X server to tinyx/kdrive (xfbdev on linux 2.2.18, neomagic video), and I can't get DPMS to work like before. At a minimum, I want to be able to call xset dpms force off and have the backlight in my lcd turn off to prolong its life. Here's what I get: # xset dpms force off X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 137 (DPMS) Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (DPMSForceLevel) Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 11 #xset -q snip DPMS (Energy Star): Display is not capable of DPMS snip I get the same results with an Xvesa kdrive server. Have I done something wrong, or is this not supposed to work with kdrive? If not, is there some other way to achieve the same thing, maybe at the framebuffer driver level?

It just wouldn't restart. Couldn't switch consoles, and standby killed it. That seemed to rule out refresh rate issues.

[XFree86] startx problems.
(This is a re-send of a previous post). I have been having a ton of problems with my RH 8.0 associated with my i845 chipset on my motherboard. I have put in the 4.2.20 kernel - just fine now. I installed the XFree86 4.2.99.3 binaries and things stopped. I just did a XFree86 -configure and put the resulting configuration file in /etc/X11/XF86Config. I restarted the system. I did a startx. Nothing but blank screen. Edited the config file and replaced the i810 driver with vesa. restarted the system again. I did a startx. This time I got something. I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't my pretty interface before the binary install. It a desktop for lack of a better term. It had a clock (hard to read, but analog format). It had two terminal windows with dark backgrounds and one terminal window with a light background. exiting the light one exits everything. 1) How do I get my pretty interface back (GNOME)? I tried switchdesk GNOME, but I got the same stuff. 2) Must I always reboot after I stop a startx? If I don't I just get a blank screen. Please help!

Re: [XFree86] startx problems.
Thanks again Peter, here are the responses, Tsk, tsk. Kids these days. You are *sooo* lucky. We had to program by moving magnets back and forth over the floppy disk. You had floppys? I thought it was done with a pencil and this long strip of paper... :) what is the contents of your .xinitrc file? Mine just says: exec gnome-session I don't have an .xinitrc file. (at least ' find . | grep xinitrc ' from / doesn't find it) Then you should perhaps have one. OK, I do now. I got a gnome startup (higher resolution than before). Right clicked and asked for a new window to test browsing and it seemed to keep starting things. I switched over to console F1 and I have a bunch of messages: nautilus: relocation error: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Set_Hint_Flags FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0 FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0 FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0 which just repeat. No luck going back to F7 however. If I look at the log, I don't get any EE messages, and only (WW) VESA(0): Bad V_Bios checksum (I seem to get it twice however). Lots of -- ** II and == stuff. Aha! That's interesting, don't you think? I think most of what I'm running into as interesting. Informative is another matter :D . Can you send the whole log?

Re: [XFree86] startx problems.
Followup to last post: Scott suggested an insmod on agpgart before starting X. So I did a modprobe agpgart as seen in another place, then lsmod to verify it was there, then startx. X started. Switched to console F1 (because that nautilus thing looped again). Then did a Ctrl-Alt-F7 and it came back. That was a first. BUT, I switched away again and it wouldn't come back. Still have the same problems. Something must not be getting reset. Regarding the Memory in the BIOS, I have: AGP Aperture Size (MB) [64] On-Chip VGA [Enabled] On-Chip Frame Buffer Size[8MB] (other option was 1 MB) On-Chip VGA Turbo Mode[AUTO] (other options are Enabled and Disabled) -g History: Here are the responses. Possibly a few more pasted in from others as well. I have put in the 4.2.20 kernel - just fine now. I installed the XFree86 Yes, kernel, but I goofed with the # it is 2.4.20. Sorry, The first instructions I received indicated I needed the 2.4.20 kernel so I started down that line. See http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html . Where did you get it? Compile from source or a binary package from somewhere? Did you get the DRI module, too? The 2.4.20 kernel I got from Linux.org - compiled from source with gcc 3.2 The 4.2.99.3 XFree I got from XFree86.org as a binary. I have also brought the cvs tree for 4.2.99.3 down yesterday so I have the source. I haven't as yet figured out how to build XFree86 and all of its parts from the source. Did I get the DRI module? How would I know? What should it have been in. I didn't download anything specific. What does lsmod tell you before you run startx? I have put some stuff up on my website: lsmod:http://www.outtacyte.com/outtacyte/ref/lsmodlist XFree86.0.log:http://www.outtacyte.com/outtacyte/ref/XFree86-log XF86Config:http://www.outtacyte.com/outtacyte/ref/XF86Config The config file comes from XFree86 -configure and I've only changed the driver from i810 to vesa. About the weird blanking when switching between virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-Fn), have you tried the vesafb ? (easier to do if you compile the kernel from source, I think) what is vesafb? Is this a driver? What would I do to try it out? Other Questions asked by others: Scott: Are you loading the AGP GART driver? I'm not very familiar with Linux, but your symptoms sound like those that I experienced in FreeBSD before figured out that I had to load the AGP GART driver into my kernel at boot-time. I have the following AGP/DRM CONFIG_AGP=m CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y CONFIG_AGP_I810=y CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y # CONFIG_AGP_AMD_8151 is not set CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y CONFIG_AGPSWORKS=y CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_OLD is not set # # DRM 4.1 drivers # CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y CONFIG_DRM_TDFX=m CONFIG_DRM_R128=m CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m CONFIG_DRM_I810=m # CONFIG_DRM_I810_XFREE_41 is not set CONFIG_DRM_I830=m CONFIG_DRM_MGA=m CONFIG_DRM_SIS=m I can recompile with any changes necessary easily. I always add the monitor's VertRefresh HorizSync settings into XF86Config before doing the startx... If I don't do this, I seem to have a lot of problems :) I've done this while goofing around with this problem. Didn't help. It's not in the current configuration. I've tried leaving the XF86Config file pretty much as XFree86 generated it for me. I had all sorts of problems with the vesa driver on this chipset. Once got the i810 driver to work (and the only trick to that was loading the AGP GART kernel module at boot) these problems disappeared. Also, make sure that DRI and GLX (tho, I don't know if these work with vesa) are loading in your config. Also, I think there's some video memory allocation issues if you're using vesa... There's some info on that here: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel845g/linux.htm Humm, I'll have to look into that. I have noticed some issues in the log before, but I didn't think much of them. The log file is referenced above. I do have a bunch of memory on the thing however. I notice the memory spec is not mentioned in this incarnation of the config file. OK, that's all the questions. I'll read up on that memory thing mentioned by Scott whilst waiting for the next set of responses. Thanks to all of you who are helping! -g

[Xpert]Newbie: Stated frequency limits are exceeded
Hi, Current config: XFree86 4.2.0 Redhat 8.0 Kernel 2.4.19 Video S3 Trio3D/2X 4M Driver vesa I am not an X developer but cannot help but think that the problem I am having shouldn't actually be allowed. So I would like to ask you, the developers, for your opinion and hopefully a solution. I have compiled the SRPM for 4.2.0 and can find my way around cvs but have not yet managed to patch 4.2.0 to 4.2.1. So I still have the floating point exception that is fixed in 4.2.1. I am trying to install a 17 LCD monitor (BenQ FP751) under X on my desktop system. Thankfully, the administration under 4.2.0 is a whole lot easier using redhat-config-xfree86. I have selected the nearest frequency matched monitor Acer FP561. Its frequency limits are HorizSync 31.5 - 60.0 and VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0. When I select this monitor I cannot select 1280x1024 (the physical size of the monitor) as my resolution. The highest offered resolution is 1280x960. If I select this and restart X then I get 1024x768 @ 48kHzx60Hz. Close but no banana. Next I tried a different monitor type that maintained the right frequencies but gave me 1280x1024 as a resolution. Generic Laptop Display Panel 1280x1024 (31.5-67kHz, 50.0-75.0Hz) seemed the best fit. Although, this one had a Horiz refresh that exceeded my monitor I figured I would give it a try. Selecting 1280x1024 with this monitor produced 1280x1024 @ 46.4kHz x 86.9Hz. Obviously, this frequency would have overdriven my LCD monitor but I plugged in a CRT that displays the sync frequencies noted above. The thing that concerns me and the reason for my (longish) email is that 86.9Hz exceeds the stated limit for this monitor (75Hz). Should that be allowed? I know that I have not provided enough information here to fix my problem of getting my LCD to work but I hope there is enough for someone to decide if there is a problem with frequencies being exceeded. Obviously, if the 1280x1024 resolution can be achieved by staying within the stated freqencies then that would solve my problem but that is BTW. This all works under Win2K with a resolution of 1280x1024 @ 64kHzx60Hz. Admittedly this is with a more advanced video card than the Trio.

So, a few questions arise: - Do you see the same problems using the Mach64 GT? Hm, so now I can't reproduce the mouse hotpoint out of sync problem on the Matrox either.

Using the gimp to locate the hot point the hot point always seems to be in sync. The panning is still jerky at 4 pixels per pan, that's still annoying. But it's not a correctness issue I guess. Any chance of going back to the X 3 method of panning that allowed arbitrary offsets? The displaced pixels showing up at the right edge of the screen is still there though. It only happens on the Matrox card, not the ATI. Some more data: it seems to happen when the screen is panned to any offset congruent to 4 mod 64. For example, when panned to column 4 (with the first column being 0) the pixels starting at column 128-131 appear in the rightmost four columns of the screen. When panned to 68 columns 192-195 appear in the rightmost column. This is with the virtual frame buffer at 1600x1200 and the actual screen resolution set to 640x480.

[Xpert]Clueless and in need of Xfree86 set-up help
(please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks) All, I'm setting up XFree86 as part of a FreeBSD install, and having odd problems. Having read the manual and trolled the 'net for answers, I now turn to you smart folks for help. The box: Dell optiplex PIII, 512mb RAM, 30 gb hd, built-in ATI Rage Pro AGP video with 8 mb video RAM. An install of freeBSD 4.5 (with, I suppose, an earlier version of XFree86) goes swimmingly well. However, when trying to install FreeBSD 4.6, configuring X goes awry whether it's done via CLI or the graphical interface. The card is identifed automatically as simply ATI but doesn't appear to be congigurable otherwise. Also, the mouse, post-config, immediately goes to the top of the screen and won't function (Microsoft Intellimouse through PS2 port, set up as a non-wheeled mouse, although I've tried other settings and it fries under those, too). As with the video, the mouse worked fine under FreeBSD 4.5 and the earlier version of XFree86. As I see it, I have a few options -- I'm looking to you folks for advice on what the best approach would be: * I can install FreeBSD 4.5 and either not worry about being on the leading edge, or do a make buildworld/make installworld to get the system up to 4.6. This appears to bring stuff up to date, although for the life of me I don't know if it updates Xfree86 as part of the process. * I can (with your help) figure out exactly how I should configure this damned video card under the latest/greatest XFree86. I'd particularly love to see exact settings from anyone who has this card/mobo combination. * I can install freebsd 4.6 without X at all, and then add Xfree86 post-install as either the older version (if that's all that works) or the current version (if someone can tell me how to get it to work).

[Newbie]nVidia Driver and DPMS woes

Now, I can load the nVidia driver into the config file: Changes: Load glx Load GLcore Load dri Drivernvidia Drivernv X starts up and everything works fine, until I go to turn the screen off.

[Newbie]Mapping XFree86 server to the X Window System...
As I recall, an X application can be made with or without MOTIF widget, Xlib, and Xt calls. Xlib and Xt function calls are handled by the XServer (XFree86) more or less directly. If I wanted to write an application that used MOTIF calls, I would need XFree86, plus someones add-on implementation of the MOTIF widget libraries/headers. At least, that is my assumption without knowing anything else about XFree86 when it is called an X-Server. Now, and to the question, if Darwin implements a release of XFree86, where do I get a product that can be configured on an XServe box (running Mac XServer) to pass MOTIF Xm widget calls to the server and have the server understand them. In other words, who makes the MOTIF widget libraries/ headers for the apple XServer implementation? Can I contact them on the INTERNET. It seems to me this would be extremely useful in getting old applications developed using Xm, Xt, and Xlib calls running on the new XServe boxes. Thanks.
