[XFree86] black and white
After installing slackware newest I go to console and type xwmconfig and select KDE then I do startx. Then it loads to a black and white polka dot screen and just sits there doing nothing. I tried deleting the config and making a new one using xf86config and it does the same thing. I don’t know what it could be... I have a cirrus CL-GD7548 graphics card in this 133 MHz lap top with a 12” monitor which I don’t know the specs on. Is this a common bug or a mistake, could you please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Ryan

Hello, I have just tried to install Red Hat Linux version 8.0 and it installs properly but when I reach the command prompt after a seemingly successful installation I get the error: (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes (EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration Fatal server error. No screens found. I have tried installing multiple times and booting with different monitors, the monitor I was originally using couldn’t be identified during the probe so I hooked up another one that was successfully probed, but the end result is still the same. I know that the CD’s work because they have successfully installed the os on a friends computer with no complications. Any help you could offer is much appreciated.

[XFree86] mga on 4.3.0?
Hi, Is anyone having success using a MGA G400 with DRI on 4.3.0? Ever since I upgraded to the preliminary 4.3.0 debian packages from a working 4.2.1 installation, texturing simply is not working. Simple poly programs like glxgears run fine and are fast, but running something like quake produces the correct poly output, but the textures are all corrupt and I get errors in the console about texture uploads failing. Any ideas or input would be appreciated. I'm also still trying to track down a hard machine hang that occurs randomly upon exiting a SDL 3D program with the G400 driver, but I can't really get much further debugging that until I figure out what the texturing problem is.

Re: [XFree86] mga on 4.3.0?
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion, I updated my BIOS to no avail. The following is what I receive when running an OpenGL program that uses textures: Failed to upload texture, sz 32768 Memory heap (nil): heap == 0 End of memory blocks Failed to upload texture, sz 32768 Memory heap (nil): heap == 0 End of memory blocks Failed to upload texture, sz 131072 Memory heap (nil): heap == 0 End of memory blocks Failed to upload texture, sz 32768 And the textures in the program are all corrupted. This worked prior to XFree86 4.3.0 (using the unofficial Debian packages). Any ideas? On Sun, Jun 08, 2003 at 06:12:51AM -0400, Donald E.

My .xsession starts a couple apps and backgrounds them (so that they are always started up each time I start XFree86). It also runs the script that starts a window manager on the second head, and then starts a window manager on the first head. Note that the window manager is not backgrounded, since if the .xsession script exits, then the X server will quit as well. > Also Anyone know where I can learn about the XF86config options etc. > syntax? man XF86Config should work on most distros.. however, it may not cover all of the available options.

Actually there is code around to drive the second head e.g. in the linux framebuffer subsystem and DirectFB, I guess it would only be a matter of someone taking the time to eliminate the necessity of the binary component by reusing code from one or more of those places. BTW, does anyone have DPMS working on the second head of a G400? On my setup, DPMS works fine on the first head, but on the second head never powers off when the server goes into power saving mode -- instead, it displays some random color on the monitor, sometimes bright white, which couldn't possibly use any more power, thereby negating the point of the power saving modes in the first place. ;) Thanks, -- Ryan Underwood, , icq=10317253 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Also, scanning through the CHANGELOG, I see the following changes which might be relevant, all of which were made prior to 4.1.0 release: 434. Fix a problem with the mga G400 2nd head going into power saver mode when it should be blanked, and enable DPMS for the 2nd head (#A.358, Craig Leres). 842. Fix for G400 crtc2 blank screen color (#4205, Antti Tapaninen). Anyone have any more info about these? According to the changelog, not only should I not be having the "blank screen color" issue on crtc2, but DPMS should also be enabled on the second head. :) I have a G400MAX running XFree86 4.3.0...

Re: [XFree86] xwindows problem with linux
This is a VFAQ (Very Frequently Asked Question). There is something wrong with your font server (xfs). It needs to either be restarted, or the problem causing it not to start must be located and fixed. To all: Why doesn't Red Hat configure the X server to look for a basic set of fonts via the filesystem instead of xfs, and only go to xfs for other fonts besides the ones necessary to start the server? It seems they are not taking advantage of the fact that the dependency on xfs was removed in XFree86 4.x.

I just noticed that your ioctl had returned instead of hanging with
That happens in DRM(lock):
if ( signal_pending( current ) ) {
ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
break;
}
which means I guess there is a signal that something isn't handling if
it is just sitting there. I'm not sure if this is an application level
problem or at the server.

You don't need to install Mesa separately. You do need a Mesa tree from the DRI project, however. That is what the DRI XFree86 tree is looking for when it builds. Both DRI Mesa and DRI XFree86 are available from the DRI cvs server; Mesa is under /cvs/mesa in the 'Mesa' module and XFree86 is under /cvs/dri in the 'xc' module. The documentation could be a little more clear on the procedure to bootstrap from CVS. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: Digital signature
[XFree86] I deleted xfree86..
Let me first give the disclaimer that I am an idiot, or at least, I am a linux newbie.. About a year ago I was trying to install perlmagick to get imagemagick to work with movable type on my redhat 7.3 box which I have through rosehosting.com. As part of that I mess I installed xfree86, but came the conclusion once everything was working that it was not necessary for me to have it in order for perlmagick to work correcly. About 2 weeks ago I was informed I was using up more than my share of storage space and so I went through and removed everything I didn't need. This included xfree86. Instead of uninstalling it I just deleted everything that seemed to be associated with xfree86. Now I find that perlmagick needs those library files to work correctly. I am trying to reinstall xfree86 but as far as I can tell it is assuming it's just upgrading rather than installing completely fresh. Is there a way to force complete reinstall? Or is there a way for me to make it realize that I deleted everything (except a very important config file..)? this is what I get when I try to install: sh Xinstall.sh Welcome to the XFree86 4.2.1 installer You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation before proceeding. This includes the /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 directories. The installation process will overwrite existing files in those directories, and this may include some configuration files that may have been customised.

I'm no RedHat expert, I've only ever used Debian and LFS, but the best way to install or remove any package from a system that uses package management is with the package tools.Since RedHat has gone enterprise, 7.3 may not be officially supported by them, but I'm sure you can find mirrors that still carry 7.3 rpm's. Also, Progeny is offering RedHat package support as well.As for how to re-install, You'd need advise from a RedHat user, but basically, fetch the rpm's and use the rpm tools to re-install them. I know there is a way to force a reinstall, I just don't know the exact commands.The instructions you quote are XFree86's own installation tool, which may or may not conflict with what RedHat expects from X.

If not, all recent NVIDIA and ATI cards will meet your requirement, as 2D support for all of those cards is already implemented in XFree86. If you need open source 3D, then you are limited to Matrox G-series (no T&L) or ATI chips below R300 on this list: http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ATIRadeon?action=highlight&value=CategoryHardware There is an open source S3 Savage 2D/3D driver in the works but it is not ready for end users yet. > The optimal card would be very cheap, outperform everything under both > Windows and Linux, using open source drivers under Linux.

No, the XFree86 driver is definitely accelerated both 2D and 3D for all G-series. But if you have lost 3D acceleration, that is a more complicated issue than 2D (desktop) acceleration. 2D acceleration should be enabled on any screen that is using the 'mga' driver. Make sure you are not using a framebuffer or vesa driver by accident, because those will be unaccelerated. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'm running into a problem getting X-Windows to run with a decent resolution on a Dell GX 270 with the Intel 865 Graphics Cards (64 MB video ram). I have seen messages regarding the BIOS revision and tried flashing the BIOS with A02 and A01 with no luck. Right now, I have 3 machines (all identical) with one BIOS being A01, another A02, and the third A03. I can only get 1024x768 with 8 bit color depth running.

As soon as Matrox agrees to release the necessary programming documentation to interested developers. IOW, when hell freezes over, at the current rate. You can get binary-only drivers which are unsupported by XFree86 from Matrox AFAIK. They are only marginally supported by Matrox at any rate.

XFree86 3.3.6 supports it in case you wanted to try that. Something else you can try is to use the 'vesa' driver. I'm not sure if your bios has sufficient VBE support to do it, but it's worth a shot. This will be unaccelerated though it will give you high color modes. The XFree86 driver doesn't use interrupts, but I find it very strange that the chip's IRQ is connected to IRQ 0. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I would recommend filing a bug with Debian then. This mailing list generally only provides end-user support for recent versions of XFree86. You might get lucky and someone is familiar with the specific version you are running, but that is not too likely. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: Digital signature

What I have done is replaced the X server binary (/usr/X11R6/bin/X) and the modules in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules. This worked without a problem. I would recommend backing up your entire /usr/X11R6 directory and /etc/X11 directory before trying any similar procedure. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: Digital signature
