dual intel/rage xl with 1.5 xserver - how to get to work?
I'm trying to get a dual intel/mach64 setup working. We have a system with an onboard Intel and an ATI Rage XL in a PCI slot. We're stuck with the 1.5 X server to stay on a SLES base and with the Intel adapter as the primary because of issues with intel-agp if it's set as the secondary. After some modification, the mach64 driver appears to initialize the secondary, the LCD backlight comes on and the LCD info button will show the H/V sync and resolution as set, but the video is junk. There are no errors in the logs that don't show up when the ATI adapter is the primary adapter. The default driver fails when it tries to do register reads in ATIMach64Detect. I got a suggestion to toggle the MEMORY and IO bits, similarly to what I think xf86SetPciVideo used to do, amongst other things. I toggle on and then back off that in ATIPreInit, ATIMach64Sync, and ATIScreenInit. Then I can get the screen up to at least come up, but the video is junk. If I don't toggle the bits, but just set and leave them the driver works fine, but then the Intel adapter doesn't. Which makes sense. I've looked, and as far as I can tell there is nothing PreInit that is not covered (or that matters) with the toggling. I didn't see anything that was previously done outside of initialization sequence to handle secondaries like this in the older scheme. Are there any ideas on where I should look next? Should I be looking into the X server rather than just the driver? Suggestions on where? Are there other drivers doing this sort of things I should look at?

Problem with SIS660 video card, Xorg 1.6.5 - slow XVideo output
Hi, I have a trouble with XVideo on a laptop with SIS chipset when running xorg-server 1.6.5 (xf86-video-sis 0.10.2, Linux 2.6.31.3). When I play video in any video player with XVideo output, X server uses up to 50% CPU time depending on resolution of the picture. Xorg version 1.5.2 works fine on the same machine with the same kernel. I'm attaching lspci -v and Xorg.0.log from both 1.6.5 and 1.5.2. The most notable difference is the following: 1.5.2: (II) SIS(0): Benchmarking system RAM to video RAM memory transfer methods: (--) SIS(0): Checked libc memcpy()... 116.8 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-1 memcpy()... 116.9 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-2 memcpy()... 56.6 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked MMX memcpy()... 130.3 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked MMX2 memcpy()... 162.0 MiB/s 1.6.5: (II) SIS(0): Benchmarking system RAM to video RAM memory transfer methods: (--) SIS(0): Checked libc memcpy()... 20.0 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-1 memcpy()... 20.0 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked built-in-2 memcpy()... 16.6 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked MMX memcpy()... 39.7 MiB/s (--) SIS(0): Checked MMX2 memcpy()... 39.9 MiB/s Copying to video RAM appears to be surprisingly slow (and apparently CPU consuming).

[ANNOUNCE] Video hackfest
Hi, I'd like to announce the Video hackfest.[1] Its goal is to improve the Linux desktop video experience. The hackfest will take place in Collabora's Barcelona offices on the 4 days from Thursday, November 19th to Sunday, November 22nd, 2009. See the wiki for details[1]. A big thanks goes to the X Foundation for funding and Collabora Multimedia for providing the location. The idea to this hackfest originated in my idea to bridge X, Cairo and GStreamer and make them work together better. I prototyped some code touching every part of the stack, the result of which can be seen on my blog[2][3]. If you are interested in technical details, I sent them to the gstreamer and cairo lists before[4][5]. While doing this work we realized that there is a lack of knowledge about the challenges that the other projects face. Which is when we decided to do a hackfest focussing on improving the Linux desktop video experience. We are currently in the process of collecting topics for the hackfest. The current list is at [6]. If you think there are issues that should be discussed and are missing from the list, just add them. You don't have to be a participant to do that. Just edit the wiki. Also, if you think this hackfest covers exactly the stuff you are hacking on and you should participate in the hackfest, it's most likely a sign you are right and I forgot you. In that case, please mail me at o...@gnome.org or poke me on IRC (my nick is Company on freenode) and we'll figure something out. We might even be able to pay for you, if you are a poor student.
