Presumably because you're not hitting a neon-accelerated path.  You've 
not said which x11perf tests you are measuring with.  Be aware that many 
of them are not at all relevant for real world performance.



2.xserver use which drawing library to resizing the window,scroll the
text window ,and so on?

3.which library excepts pixman could I optimize using neon to improve
the performance of xserver?


The X server has an internal library called 'fb' for this.  fb is a 
layer around pixman that implements X core rendering, either by calling 
down to pixman or directly.

Re: [BUG] xrandr/desktop autoconfiguration problem with Intel chip

However, when I plug in a standard 1024x768 projector, it gets set up

dark grey shadow.  If I use xrandr to redo the tiling so LVDS1 is above
VGA1 (giving a max y dimension of 1536) everything is fine.  I think
this indicates that although my graphics chip seems to identify as GEN
3, it has trouble with display dimensions  2048.


gen3's coordinate limits are awkward.  The 2D engine and CRTCs can 
stride up to 4096 wide, but the 3D engine can only stride up to 2048 
wide (both in terms of the widest texture it can source from, and the 
widest surface it can render to).  Thanks Intel.


This is one of the motivators for the per-CRTC pixmap work planned for 
RANDR 1.4.  It'll require a modest amount of work in the compositor to 
take advantage of, but once complete we should be able to hide this kind 
of detail from you.  In the meantime if you've got a 2048 wide screen 
on gen3 you're basically out of luck for GL-based compositors.

If you built it with debugging symbols enabled, then those will be

4096 is low.  Modern GPUs go up to at least 16kx16k, and I think you can
get away with X screens at the protocol level up to 32kx32k, though I
vaguely recall there being some restriction against that.


It should be 64k-1, but because of protocol bugs (and 4G overflow on 
32bpp) it ends up being 32k-1.


Also, #define A B, not #define A=B.

Yep, 1994 sure was awful.

To the extent that that would keep the old program looking correct, it 
would force firefox to always look wrong.  But the application itself 
may also rely on colormap change events to work properly.


You may want to consider running the old app in a separate Xephyr or

 This isn't because I didn't rebuild glibc with debuggging? I thought some of

 this is above my pay grade. I'll just hope 1.10.1 and 2.6.38.2 do some magic.

That frames 0 and 1 are uninformative is because you don't have

That your malloc arena is corrupted, is not.

This is old version from 2007? Why don't you try newer version? Newer

Red Hat has no plans to update the Matrox video driver in Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 3 (or 4, for that matter).  The last 
hardware-enablement update to XFree86 in RHEL3 was in 2006; any hardware 
newer than that is very likely to be vesa-only, including the G200eW.


RHEL5 and later include native driver support for the embedded G200 series.


Matrox G200 is very old, so driver it requires for Xorg or XFree86 has
been available built into all Linux distro versions for many years.


This would be true, except that it's not what he's asking about.

Modern motherboards are shipping with new embedded variants of the G200 
- like, for instance, the G200eW - which RHEL3 does _not_ know about. 
Different PCI IDs and everything.  And apparently just to make 
everybody's life difficult, each successive revision of the chip moves 
the PLL setup registers and modifies the search algorithm, so you really 
do have to build a very new mga driver to get support for them.

Almost certainly what's happened is:

Comparing the output of 'xauth list' and 'hostname' when this happens

That's the socket that is used for communication with the X server. 
It's expected that an X app open it at least once.  Multiple times is a

I'm reasonably sure that, whatever artifacts you're seeing with newer X 
servers, they are not related to choice of acceleration architecture.

Which is a little weird, the Intel probe code should have run first.  So
presumably, it did, and just didn't bind to the device for some reason.

 Do I need a device section specifying intel for server 1.9.3 to give what I 
 need instead of XGA when there is no valid EDID? I would think monitor specs 
 I provided to be sufficient.

They would, except the fbdev driver can't set arbitrary modes.  It can only
set things that the kernel already claims to support.

Re: Driver Question - evdev

 I’ve got a Barco monitor that I’m using the touch screen configuration.  I’ve 
 got a couple of questions concerning the configuration:
  
 1.   The “xorg.conf” was setup to use the “evdev” driver and it’s 
 working. But I’m not sure how the startup of “X” is calling this driver? I do 
 not see with “lsmod” that the driver is loaded?

X's evdev driver is an X driver, not a kernel module.  lsmod shows kernel
modules.  Look in the X log file instead.

 2.   When I disable/enable or turn off the monitor the 
 “/dev/input/event#” changes and I have to update the xorg.conf file and 
 restart X. Any other way to handle these changing events?

Use an InputClass section to match the device based on product or vendor name,
instead of on the device filename.  See the manual page for xorg.conf, and
refer to /proc/bus/input/devices for the ID strings for your touchscreen.

 When using custom edid Data, with the extension Block stripped, this behavior

Given that the extension block is how host software knows that the monitor 
supports sound, that's completely unsurprising.

If I had to guess, the host software (by which I mean, nvidia's driver) is 
being aggressive at changing the InfoFrame that tells the monitor how many 
audio channels there are, and the monitor treats that as a full mode change and 
not just an audio config change.  But that's shooting in the dark.

Use the 915resolution hack, or upgrade to an OS like RHEL6 that has a

The LVDS actually uses the DisplayID format
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayID) to expose it's specification.

I've bisected this regression to commit:

That's... somewhat surprising. I was under the impression that
DisplayID lived on a different I2C address than EDID.

You should be able to find whatever we're getting from the device in
either dmesg or in /sys/class/drm/*LVDS*/edid. I'd be interested in
seeing what your data actually looks like.

Anyone knows if this has been addressed in a newer Xorg version? Also,
is there support in the kernel for the DisplayID format?

I wrote a DisplayID parser for Xorg a while ago, but it's not hooked up
to anything yet, mostly because I lacked any actual DisplayID devices to
test it with. It also has yet to be ported into the kernel, for
basically the same reason.

So, yeah, show me what you've got, we can make this work.

 Hello, all
 In newer XServer edition, the fallback_counter is
 introduced to EXA. However, I almost can not understand the motivation
 of the fallback_counter mechanism. Anyone understand it? I'll be very
 appreciated for your explanation. Thanks !

Near as I can tell (the commit message isn't great), it's like this:

Sometimes, you're doing a software fallback, and to do that fallback you
need to draw into a scratch pixmap and then scrape the bits out of it
and put them into the real destination.  Any scratch pixmap so created
should itself be rendered entirely in software in host memory, since
otherwise you'll be reading bits back out of the framebuffer and that's
_super_ slow.

So once the fallback count is non-zero, force everything to the host
memory path; and then allow it to be an integer so recursive fallbacks
work (which is pathological, but I guess it could happen).

 After reading through XACE-Spec.txt, then looking through all the code
 I found the below comment, not to make sense. I think it needs to be
 changed to adjust due to the Property access mode bits giving info
 on adjusting different modes etc..(but could be wrong).

or as a verb is common C idiom.  DixReadAccess | DixWriteAccess ...
the | is pronounced or.

Re: ssh tunneling for a newbie :)

 Hello !
 
 I am currently working on some bioinformatics project. I installed a
 software called ProgressiveMauve for genome alignment on the company
 server.
 
 In fact, it needs to forward the X11 window to my mac in order to
 visualize the alignment. 
 
 Thanks a lot in advance !
 Regards,
 Mathieu
 
 Here is whet I get back when I call the software, I connected with ssh
 -X IP

The ssh server must be configured to allow X11 forwarding.  For openssh
look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the machine with ProgressiveMauve
installed.

After that, again for openssh, you almost certainly want to be using -Y
instead of -X; -X asks for additional security checks that many older
toolkits are not prepared to cope with, which will probably make your
app crash.
