synaptics - no right click, no click+scroll
Hi, I'm trying to use synaptics driver on a Samsung Series 9 laptop (90X3A) with Linux kernel 3.1.0. When psmouse module is loaded, I see this in dmesg: [ 9907.175524] Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 8.0, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd00123/0x840300/0x120c00 [ 9907.216939] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input28 It kind of works, but I'm not able to do the following: - right click (I can simulate with two-finger tap, although it feels awkward) - middle click simulation - click + scroll (i.e. to mark text or to move a window scroll bar) Any ideas how can I make these work? If I load psmouse module with proto=exps, it works almost as expected, although mouse pointer is very, very slow. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: does radeon driver support HDMI video?
Tomasz Chmielewski wrote: You can force outputs on in your xorg.conf I solved it by connecting HDMI cable to a HDMI-DVI converter, and connecting that converter to the video card.

I'm not sure if these cards are too new for X to handle: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] 02:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] 03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] But I had the following problems with free drivers (at least when both cards are in slots, for a multiseat station): - with radeon driver, machine is hard freezing whenever I exit X (not even a kernel panic, just a total freeze) - with radeonhd, it didn't freeze, but I couldn't use both cards at a time - the driver was complaining that it couldn't find BIOS for the second card; also, I had some image corruption in KDE 4.3. But coming back to the HDMI problem, it was not detected by fglrx driver as well. I think the problem is here that I use a HDMI extender (LevelOne HVE-9001, over cat. 5e cable), which does not seem to follow HDMI specs fully. What's interesting, if I start X with HDMI cable connected to the monitor directly, and then changed to HDMI extender, I could still see the video correctly. That's why I thought forcing HDMI output would help here (fglrx has such an option, but it can't use it when randr is used, go figure).

The GMA500 is not really an Intel chip, it's a PowerVR core glued onto one. Fairly sure it's not the same thing as the 'vermilion' driver we've got, but hard to say without PCI IDs.

Re: multihead / dual input howto (two local users, keyboards etc.)?

I am using Nvidia GForce2 MX (AGP and PCI, got off ebay for $6) and two Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop (wireless keyboard and mouse) sets both hooked up via USB and everything works great. The only problem I have discovered so far is with fast user switching which locks up the computer and I am going to report it as a bug. FUS doesn't work in mdm either so there is no advantage of one solution to another. It also locks up for me with user switching. Also, when I log out the user from :1, it does something bad to session on :0 - monitor does not detect any output any more, but the session is still running (nothing is displayed, so it's not of much use). No such phenomenon if I log out the user in session :0. There is only two changes I did from your configuration and that is 1. I specified both of my keyboards and mice using /dev/input/by-path since they are both hooked up via USB 2. I had to use Option XkbModel evdev since without in many of the keys on the keyboard (such as arrow keys) didn't work.

Indeed, it's nice. Now a question: is there a reason to keep your howto alive in the Web given that it doesn't show anything in special or different compared with the others? It will just confuse the poor users. Let's see what the other options are: According to http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat we have the following pages with Users in mind: 1) http://wiki.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiseat/index.php/Mdm mdm is a nice feature preview, even with a live CD, but just no major distro ships it. And if a major distro doesn't ship some software, it just doesn't exist in a Linux world. Livecd had some flaws as I tested it: - resolutions were not detected properly and I couldn't change them (even xrandr was showing that 1024x768 is the only possible one) - the system didn't reboot as I told it to; it was hanging somewhere at the end waiting for something. These are minor flaws, and perhaps not even mdm related. What I didn't like about mdm is that it doesn't ask if it should really shut down or reboot the machine if there are other users logged in (for example, KDM does that, it is nice IMO). 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiseat - wikipedia article. It's a good explanation, but it won't configure your Linux desktop to be a multiseat station. 3) http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/?proj_id=multiseatmenu_id=1 - as big fat words say, DONT TRY THIS!, so let's just not go there. 4) http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO/ - very old documentation. DONT TRY THIS! It is here just for historical purposes. OK, so another antiquated documentation. I actually tried to read this, well, but yes, I agree with DONT TRY THIS words now. So what did we have there - nothing usable for a mere mortal, rather scary words that multiseat should not be used. Let's look here now: http://wpkg.org/Configuring_multiseat_X_workstation It's far from being perfect, but at least: - does not tell you you have to patch and compile your brand new 2.4 kernel, because otherwise, multiseat is not possible - doesn't tell you to install a modified XFree86 server - is easy to follow and will work for majority of users who ever edited their xorg.conf in the past So sorry, but if anything's confusing the poor users, it's that wiki.x.org page that lists old documentation which is even not applicable today. Or did you mean, there is some other documentation listed elsewhere? I'd be glad to hear about it.

how to ignore monitor's EDID?
I have a radeon 9600 card, with two devices connected: - DVI: LCD monitor, capable of 1280x1024 (preferred mode) - VGA: LCD projector, capable of 1024x768, (800x600 preferred mode) Both devices show the same output (clone - of course, if the resolution is 1280x1024, VGA/LCD projector does not show any output, as this device does not support this mode). The problem is - whenever the LCD projector is powered on as computer boots, X starts in 800x600 resolution. What's worse - it's not possible to change the resolution to 1280x1024; xrandr will only switch the resolution up to 1024x768 (maximum supported by the VGA monitor).

Does the radeon driver support resolutions 1920x1200 on Linux on these two cards? If yes, is this resolution supported on both VGA and DVI output?

image corruption when in multiseat mode and vga!=normal kernel parameter
I have a multiseat system with one AGP card (nvidia GeForce FX 5200; primary card, BIOS displays here) and one PCI card (ATI), running Linux. Normally, I use a vga=791 bootloader parameter to get a reasonable console resolution. If I start X in multiseat mode (X on both cards, two keyboards+mice), image is corrupted on nvidia AGP card: - 30% of upper part of the screen turns black sometimes, or just some of this upper 30% part - if it turns black, I can see the shapes of text written on the console (/etc/issue, login prompt, blinking cursor etc. - not very clear, as it's very small), repeated 4 times, in green colour - if I enable GPM (A mouse server for the Linux console) and move the mouse pointer, it leaves a trace in this upper part of the screen, repeated 4 times, as if I was painting something - if I mark text with a mouse (i.e. in a web browser), the upper 30% part turns green as I move the mouse down - the black area is repainted as I move the window or click a mouse in the corrupted area The corruption happens with nv, nouveau and binary nvidia driver and a vga= mode different than normal (i.e. vga=791). The corruption does _not_ happen when I don't use vga= parameter (or use vga=normal). The corruption does not happen if I start X only on one of the cards. ATI card does not show any corruption. Is such behaviour expected? It is 100% reproducible with Linux 2.6.27 and 2.6.28-rc8 and xorg server 1.4 and 1.5.

what card is well supported? recommendations?
As I'm tired of constant fighting with nvidia (and nvidia obsoleted my current graphics card, GeForce FX 5200), I'm looking for a graphics card which has open drivers and is well supported. If it matters, I use 32 bit Linux. I looked a bit in X.org wiki, and it seems to me that Radeons with chipsets R400 should be sufficient for me. Unfortunately it's hard for me to find which chipset does a given Radeon card have (i.e. HD2400Pro - does it have R400 chipset?). I don't intent to play games, so 3D performance is not that important (it should suffice for desktop effects though). I'm looking for 2 cards. Card 1: - AGP - supports dual-head (DVI + VGA outputs) - proper 3D support - passive cooling (no fans) Card 2: - old plain PCI - proper 3D support - passive cooling (no fans) The intention is to put it into a multiseat workstation - where I currently have a GeForce FX 5200 (configured for TwinView/dual head) and an old SiS card. If possible, I'm looking for new, still produced cards. Do such cards exist? If so, do you have any recommendations? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
