Basically, the touchscreens are configured and working except that the mapping to the correct X screen is wrong. We set up 5 touchscreens in a row (Xorg ServerLayout RightOf) with Xinerama enabled and their corresponding touchscreen inputdevices. Using xinput we are able to create a pointer for each of the touchscreens. The following is observed then: When touching any screen, the resulting movement of the pointer is only displayed on the first X screen (there are 5 pointers visible then on this screen). This is not at all the desired behavior. We would like to attach a touchscreen to a specific X screen. Unfortunately, we found no way to tell the evdev driver to map a InputDevice to a X screen. Older versions of the driver provided an option AbsoluteScreen but the latest version hasn't anything like this. I know that the evtouch driver would provide a ScreenNo option, however evtouch is not available for Natty Narwhal. We also experimented with the Xorg coordinate transformation matrix, but with the result that the mouse movements where still on the first X screen. So my question is: How do I tell the evdev driver to map an InputDevice to a specific X screen? Is there an option line in xorg.conf or is there any method via xinput? tbh, I don't think we have anything in place right now for multiple screens. Multiple outputs - yes (the transformation matrix) but not multiple screens.

Oops, that should have been /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h. No amount of
installing the X development headers is going to give you
/usr/share/X11/keysymdef.h. The rest of the keyboard stuff is under
/usr/share/X11/xkb. Normally, anyway, or it could be xorg instead of X11.

The keycode for what you're calling enter is spelled Return.
Look in /usr/share/X11/keysymdef.h at line 128 or thereabouts. If you don't
have that include file, install the X development headers. This will help you
find what the right spelling and capitalization are for anything you are
interested in. Keysyms are case sensitive, even though most things in the
keyboard definition are not case sensitive. I think Escape would work if you
had it spelled with a capital E.
The setup for the modifier keys is in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc at line 39
where it assigns the Shift meaning to Shift_L and Shift_R the left and right
shift keys. Shift_L and Shift_R are assigned to keycodes right above there to
be whatever the keycodes LFSH and RTSH are on your keyboard model. The
Caps Lock assignment is there as well.
You can change which keys get assigned any of those meanings right there.

Re: eGalax Touchscreen calibration problems
On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 12:38:23PM -0400, Ken Emmons Jr. wrote: I am having issues calibrating and swapping axes on an eGalax touchscreen. Xorg does seem to recognize the device as an input device and seemingly tries to move the cursor appropriately to its wrong calibration. I had to pass usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40 to the kernel boot parameters to get the kernel HID driver to handle the touchscreen properly. Prior to this it did not work at all. I see valid event interfaces and can in fact get events from them using the evtest.c program at a console. When I try to use evdev driver configured to an event interface (using xorg.conf) xorg logs state that evdev doesn't know what to do with the device. When I use the evtouch driver it just crashes. Most of the help online is using the evtouch driver and this really isn't doing me any good as a result. From what I can see and have read this driver is going away anyhow. It is probably worth noting that when I type xinput list I see no notice of the touchscreen, but that there is just a configured mouse. I suspect that the HAL layer is somehow doing something with combining my regular mouse and my HID touchscreen and xorg is just interpreting that. If this is the case should I be doing my calibrations from the HAL, or is that just passing the data to the Xorg server anyhow? I am using Debian Lenny on a embedded PowerPC computer and I am having problems finding information since most of it is circa 2008-2009. At this point I cannot upgrade the distribution, although that may be a possibility in the future. Xorg version 1.4.2 Any ideas? I'd be happy to do any reading, but I am jumping back and forth between different projects reading conflicting information at this point. newer kernels and evdev versions shouldn't have any problems with the eGalax screens. the kernel patch does pretty much what you passed to the boot params. Can't remember if evdev needed fixes for it but the general rule is that if it doesn't work in your current version and you can't upgrade, you're stuck. your only chance is to figure out why evdev can't use the device (usually that's because a missing button on the device that evdev needs to recognise it). then you can try to hack it up there and hardcode the button mappings. HAL does nothing other than shouting hey, here's a device for you and passing optional configuration options. anything more fancy than that is in the driver.

Hi Peter, Nope - I have had the machine on for a while this morning, and not logged in via the consoe. I've just dived in over ssh and extracted these files: [12.888] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Mousetop' [12.888] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [12.888] (**) Option CorePointer [12.888] (**) Mousetop: always reports core events [12.888] (EE) Mousetop: No device specified. [12.888] (EE) PreInit returned 2 for Mousetop As the log suggests, you're not specifying a device for Mousetop since it's commented out: Section InputDevice Identifier Mousetop #Driver mouse #OptionPhys usb-:00:1d.7-4.3/input1 Driver evdev OptionPhys pci-:00:1d.1-usb-0:2:1.1-event-mouse # Option Device /dev/input/event3 Option Protocol auto Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Emulate3Buttons true EndSection On the one hand, you can fix it, but you'll probably get duplicate devices since the server is adding devices automatically. Here's your keyboard getting added: [12.977] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech USB Receiver (/dev/input/event2) [12.977] (**) Logitech USB Receiver: Applying InputClass evdev keyboard catchall [12.977] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Logitech USB Receiver' [12.977] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so Unless you have a good reason to keep the static InputDevice sections, you may just want to comment them out and let the server add the devices as it finds them. If you find that you prefer to keep the static device configuration for one reason or another, I suggest adding Option AutoAddDevices false to your server flags. However, Peter's right that your freeze was caused by the nvidia driver. Fixing these PreInit errors won't change that situation. -- Dan ___ 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: recover a broken installation
Hi Piyush, your problem seems to be unrelated to X.org, which is what this mailing list is about. Please continue further discussion off-list, at askubuntu.com or answers.launchpad.net . You can remount the root filesystem with mount -o remount,rw / . However, this will probably not work due to the file system being damaged. Use fsck -p /dev/sdaX (fill in your root partition for sdaX) to repair it (Chances are, you may need to manually confirm some important changes). After a reboot, the root filesystem should be mounted read-write. If you can restore settings and data (Basically /etc/ , /home, database/webserver directories in /var and dpkg --get-selections), formatting the partition and reinstalling Ubuntu may actually be the easier option though.

You're using GNOME 3, specifically the new gdm, which doesn't put the xauth
cookie into $HOME/.Xauthority, so that programs outside your session can't
connect to it.
You could run 'xhost +si:localuser:scorpion' in your gnome session, so that
the xauth cookie isn't required for local connections from your uid.
Thanks Julien and Alan. I decieded to use the most current xauth
database for the user currently logged in (`ls -d --sort=time
/var/run/gdm3/auth-for-$XUSER-* | head -n 1`/database) for XAUTHORITY,
which works fine.

Subject: XI2's copyRawEvent() question
In trying to understand a heap corruption when I added XI2 RawMotion event
handling to our Xinput-based application, I came across the following routine
copyRawEvent() in libxi-1.3/src/XExtInt.c. My question is what is the purpose
of computing len if it is not used? Should it have been used as an argument
to malloc().
copyRawEvent(XGenericEventCookie *cookie_in,
XGenericEventCookie *cookie_out)
{
XIRawEvent *in, *out;
void *ptr;
int len;
int bits;
in = cookie_in-data;
bits = count_bits(in-valuators.mask, in-valuators.mask_len);
len = sizeof(XIRawEvent) + in-valuators.mask_len;
len += bits * sizeof(double) * 2;
ptr = cookie_out-data = malloc(sizeof(XIRawEvent));
if (!ptr)
return False;
out = next_block(ptr, sizeof(XIRawEvent));
*out = *in;
out-valuators.mask = next_block(ptr, out-valuators.mask_len);
memcpy(out-valuators.mask, in-valuators.mask, out-valuators.mask_len);
out-valuators.values = next_block(ptr, bits * sizeof(double));
memcpy(out-valuators.values, in-valuators.values, bits * sizeof(double));
out-raw_values = next_block(ptr, bits * sizeof(double));
memcpy(out-raw_values, in-raw_values, bits * sizeof(double));
return True;
}
When I use valgrind, I get the following output as the culprit for the crash

Re: Keymapping hal/fdi
On (02:25 24/04/11), David Woodfall d...@dawoodfall.net put forth the proposition: Hi, I've have a usr9600 usb phone, which is an extra keyboard. I have setup a 20-phone.fdi for it and set layout etc. Now I'm trying to map keys 1-0 to keypad 1-0 but I'm having problems with that. lshal shows the mapping but it looks like the hex codes are the wrong ones. I got the codes with xev. This is the mapping section: append key=input.keymap.data type=strlist0030:KP0/append ... append key=input.keymap.data type=strlist0039:KP9/append Is xev the right tool to get these codes? Any ideas why this isn't working? Cheers Dave -- Don't look back, the lemmings are gaining on you.

I got the event_key_remap option by googling. I couldn't really find anything else on this. It's a pit xmodmap doesn't support multiple devices.

Leaving aside that you're asking a question that should be in the GTK mailing
list ...
The Return key isn't a button, so GDK_BUTTON_PRESS is the wrong event.
GDK_BUTTON events are for mouse buttons.
You want to be using a GtkAction to capture the key event. Read about
gtk_action_set_accel_group
gtk_accel_map_add_entry
gtk_action_set_accel_path
gtk_action_connect_accelerator
and then take any further questions to the GTK group.

Re: X server crashes when screensaver activates.
I have some mobile computers that are running Ubuntu (one is 10.04, one is 10.10). In both cases, if the 'Activate screensaver when computer is idle' option is enabled in Screensaver Preferences, as soon as it activates the X server crashes. The selected screensaver makes no difference (it's usually on 'blank screen'). Is there any workarounds? (besides disabling screensaver) This looks like a bug that should be fixed, not worked around.

For me, grasping the difference between X servers and X clients required fixing a broken intuition that servers were there and clients were here. (A slight generalization of your hardware theory.) In the X case, the server is closer to the user than the client, offering the resources the user uses to interact with the machine to other programs to share. I would call what I had to do, rethinking. The other rethinking that may be necessary for some is the error that a program is either a client or a server. I've used -- and written -- many programs that act both as clients and servers, depending on their relationship with other servers and clients. However, I don't think I ever did think -- or could ever come to think -- of the X server as a client to the programs that connect to it.

Re: Every newcomers to X think that servers and clients are reversed because they are
I'll try to give a more precise description of how I imagine things works right now, and how I imagine they should work. Currently, I believe things goes about like this: When you start an X application (that we call the X client), it read the $DISPLAY environment string to know the host where the X server it should call is. It then goes on to connect to this host, asking to speak on the X server on this host. The X server open a new window that talk to the X application, through a new port. What I would do: -create a new program that I would call the X server. This program would have a configuration that would looks like: User_Group Authorized X application secretaryLibreOffice programmer xterm ownerxterm ownerLibreOffice -I would move the code that sits and wait for new clients to connect, from what we was calling the X server, to this new X server -I would move and modify a bit the code to authenticate, to this new X server -I would rename the program we used to call the X server, to be called the X Client, and make it be a program similar to xdm So after my changes: When you would start the X client, you would be asked to enter your username, password, and select the X server you want to connect to. After connecting and authenticating to the X server with your username, the server would send you the list of authorized X application you are allowed to run, depending on the user group the username is in. Then, for each application you choose to open, the X client would open a new window to speak with this X application on a new port. It would also send a request to the X server, to request it to launch the X application on the host where the X application is. Not a very big change... but I guess it does change quite a bit how you use the computer. ___ 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

They ran a piece of software called a chooser, which took a username, password, and host and used XDMCP to authenticate and connect. I believe you can still do this with a properly configured server and display manager. The desktop environment displays the menu of things you are allowed to run. Nothing stops you from writing a desktop environment that restricts that by some sort of per-user policy. It makes zero difference if you happen to call a particular process a client or a server. After 25 years it is very unlikely anything substantive needs to or is going to change about the way X works. In networking, we say that a process that listens on a socket and accepts connections is a server. We say that a process that connects to that socket is a client. That is how the terminology got to be the way it is.

In fact, some processes will open two client connections and the X server doesn't even know they belong to the same process. the $DISPLAY environment string to know the host where the X server it should call is. That is by convention (default Xlib behaviour), not by requirement. It is perfectly valid for an application to ignore $DISPLAY and hardcode a connection with Display *dpy = XOpenDisplay(myserver-name); It then goes on to connect to this host, asking to speak on the X server on this host. The X server open a new window that talk to the X application, through a new port. Windows are requested by clients and there are several X clients that do not open windows (xinput, xsetwacom and synclient being the ones I work with frequently, there are others). Windows in X are also not what you may perceive as window. An X Window is a rectangular (ignoring the SHAPE extension) area on the screen that can be painted into. With a bit of effort on the _client's_ behalf, this window can be made to look like what you then perceive as window. To X, the window is still a rectangular area that has been painted into. X has no concepts of buttons, checkboxes, or _any_ other widgets either, they're purely client-side. Cheers, Peter What I would do: -create a new program that I would call the X server. This program would have a configuration that would looks like: User_Group Authorized X application secretaryLibreOffice programmer xterm ownerxterm ownerLibreOffice -I would move the code that sits and wait for new clients to connect, from what we was calling the X server, to this new X server -I would move and modify a bit the code to authenticate, to this new X server -I would rename the program we used to call the X server, to be called the X Client, and make it be a program similar to xdm So after my changes: When you would start the X client, you would be asked to enter your username, password, and select the X server you want to connect to. After connecting and authenticating to the X server with your username, the server would send you the list of authorized X application you are allowed to run, depending on the user group the username is in. Then, for each application you choose to open, the X client would open a new window to speak with this X application on a new port. It would also send a request to the X server, to request it to launch the X application on the host where the X application is. Not a very big change... but I guess it does change quite a bit how you use the computer. ___ 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: peter.hutte...@who-t.net ___ 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: Every newcomers to X think that servers and clients are reversed because they are
On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 11:36:17PM -0400, Paul Dufresne wrote: For years I have heard of how we must rethink what is the server and what are the clients when coming to X. But the more I think about it, the more I conclude X is wrong, and should reverse their order. What you call the X server should be an X client. You could think as the applications being the server... but I guess this is not really correct either. An X server should wait for clients to connect (yes, that point X does the right thing). But what is now the client, should have a list of X server (that does not exist yet) to connect to. When you connect to an X server, you should be given a list of applications allowable to connect to. Then, you would be able to open one of the applications available, at your choice. From there, a new connection would be open between the application and the client (what is now called the X server), pretty much like a new connection is created right now. This would make X system much more useful I believe, because it would fit the way people expect server and clients to work. Then making a multi-user game would be pretty obvious, because it would just means to add some new avatar each time a new X client would connect to the game application on a given X server. At least, that the way I think it should be. sigh. I never understood why people claim that one must rethink server/client when it comes to X. X server and client notion are _not_ reversed. The X server sits there, waiting for connections. Just like FTP servers. The X server provides auth mechanisms, restricting which clients can connect. Just like FTP servers. Once a client connects, the server provides a specific protocol to communicate. Just like FTP servers. The protocol allows access to certain resources local to the machine. Just like FTP servers. (in the FTP server's case the resources are files, in the X server's case they are hardware resources) The clients can upload data (e.g. pixel data) and download data (e.g. events or state information). Just like FTP servers. When a client disconnects, the server continues to serve the other clients. Just like FTP servers. A client can connect to multiple servers, uploading data and downloading data to all of them. Just like FTP clients. When the server shuts down, all clients are disconnected, but only from this server. Connections to other servers stay open and active. Just like FTP clients. (I'm sure I could come up with more, but ...) I repeat, X server and client notion are _not_ reversed. People seem get it wrong because back in the days of yonder, there was a big machine that was also referred to as The server and user's machines were referred to as the clients. And all the server processes like FTP, NFS, etc. were running on the server. All except X, where the user was running the server software and the server was running the clients. Hardware is not software, and this problem is little more than the English language using the same word for two different things. You don't even have to rethink what servers and clients are. You just simply ignore the hardware-specific definitions because quite frankly, they make little sense these days anyway. My laptop runs several server processes yet I would never think of it a server (in the hardware specific meaning). I wouldn't consider my phone to be the server either, even though it can run server software.

This layout is available by default on Mac OSX. The reasons for such a layout is that the common copy/paste hotkeys X, C, and V remain on the left hand, and so can be used while the right hand is on the mouse.

No, that can't be done with an XKB configuration. The solution would be that shortcuts on the client side could be defined in terms of keys and not keysyms. For example in KDE there is the system-settings dialog Standard Keyboard Shortcuts -- so there appears to be desktop wide abstraction for it. If it would be possible to to assign a shortcut to a key and not the keysym (eg 'c' for crtl-c) it would be possible to have those shortcuts independent of which layout you use. -- Cheers, Dirk ___ 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: i couldn't start an application which is installed on the Server with Graphic User Interface
X applications (such as the ones rendering the graphical interface from
your Linux Server) need an X server they can talk to. The X server
renders the drawing commands by the application.
While Ubuntu includes an X server, Windows does not. You need to install
a Windows X server such as Xming (*and* enable X11 forwarding in your
ssh client).
Alternatively, you can use another protocol such as VNC or nomachine nx.
You'll need a Windows client and a server on the .. well ... server. Be
warned that X tends not to perform well over high-latency low-bandwidth
links. Both VNC and nx are far more suitable on such
Additionally, the output
Error in startup script: can't read xcrys(platform): no such

indicates an error in the application you're using (XCrySDen). Please
contact their support. Since you are apparently not running the latest
version, I'd encourage you to do so before reporting a bug.
