Re: [XFree86] S3 trio32 chipset support for debian Linux
On Tue, 22 Jul 2003 10:40:15 -0700 Tom Loveday [EMAIL PROTECTED] uttered: Is there support in Xfree86 V4.3.0 for the s3 trio32 chip? I have an HP pavilion I am trying to set up as a debian Linux box and it seems that nothing I do can make the xserver operate. I do not need all of the acceleration offered by the chip set, but I would like the xserver to work. The best I have gotten is no available modes. Using xserver-s3 and a panasync s15 monitor had the same prob with Trio64, have you tried using xfree 3.3.6? nasty sol'n, that, i know, I eventually jammed an old ATI in a spare PCI slot. the latest CVS of xfree says it supports more s3trio chips. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++ 13:56:33 up 13:26, 5 users, load average: 0.08, 0.07, 0.02 There's only one everything. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Re: [XFree86] Scroll Wheel doesn't work
On Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:45:08 -0700 Peter Nehem [EMAIL PROTECTED] uttered: Hi all, I'm hoping this is the right place to post this message. I have a Logitech MX 700 wireless usb mouse. I have to move the mouse around a few seconds before it starts to respond (but I can live with this). Afterwords most of the buttons seem to work. It has 8 button. But I can't get the wheel to scroll up or down. Here is how the mouse looks in the XF86Config file: Section Input Device Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/usbmouse Option Buttons 10 Option ZAxisMapping 9 10 Option Resolution 800 EndSection Looks like the ZAxisMapping is wrong...should have all of the buttons enumerated I believe. There may be useful info for you about how that works here: http://www.deadman.org/ One other quick question: How do you change the Windows Manager root can use? Right now it is KDE, but I'd like to work with Gnome, but I can't find out where you change this at. Thanks! You shouldn't be logging in to a graphical environment as root...but... How do you boot, to a graphical login or text mode (ie. runlevel 3)? If it's text mode, open a console, su root, and type cd to get to your home dir. Now create a file called .xinitrc and add a line executing the WM or desktop you want, ie. exec fluxbox, etc. This is NOT recommended. You should really always log in as a user, then perform only specific tasks as root when required. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net ** Filtering out noise is one way to get a clearer signal. ** 20:22:46 up 27 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

What version of XFree comes with RH 7.1, anyway? Upgrade! (cough) to Mandrake (cough)... I run Mandrake 9.1, and have an i810 mobo myself (weeps), and have never had a prob (more due to XFree version than distro of course!), tho I don't use the onboard video controller since my wife bought me that lovely GF 4 Ti... :)) -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net Guest (shouting): I asked: how many computers you have running in here?!

[XFree86] S3 Trio64V2/GX
Hello, I do not believe this is a bug necessarily, I am just trying to clarify something with regard to getting XFree 4.3.0 running on an S3 Trio64V2/GX. On the list of supported hardware for 4.3.0, it states: The s3virge driver in XFree86 4.3.0 supports the S3 ViRGE, ViRGE DX, GX, GX2, MX, MX+, and VX chipsets. Does this include the chipset I have? Or does it *only* apply to a Virge chipset? I am concerned that theV2 part means it is some more obscure chipset that is not supported, since I seem to only be able to get XFree 3.3.6 to run, although in the XFdrake config util, the V2/GX *is* listed. I am running Mandrake 9.1 on an old Compaq Deskpro with the S3 onboard. I have tried XFdrake, testing at everywhere from 800x600x8bpp up to 1024x768x24bpp (wishful thinking?), and I have tried the listed drivers for: Trio64 (generic) Trio64V2/GX (generic) Virge/GX (generic) Now, sadly, I cannot seem to get it to test OK even when I choose XF 3.3.6 now :( Any help appreciated, if it's RTFM, please give me a hint where to look. I have tried Google but have found nothing specific to my situation. Thank you for a great piece of work, this is the first problem I have ever had on any system with XFree, so I am more suspicious of Compaq and S3 than XFree in this matter, that is fer sure.
