Re: [Xpert]blank screen when switching from X to console
hi all, I have a XFree86 4.1.0 instalation on Savage4 graphic card. X server is working fine, but when I try to shut it down with CTRL+ALT+backspase or when I try to switch to console with CTRL+ALT+Fn it has a great possibility to freeze. It is a black screen freeze with no mouse. Only hardware reset button helps. I have Red Hat 6.1 at the momment but I had the same problem with RH 7.1 . I havo no KDE or GNOME installed just X. thank you, nemanja I got the solution for this problem on comp.os.linux.x. I've put these lines in lilo.conf. append=video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap vga=0x314 Console is now working in some kind of hi-resolution mode but I have no problem with X. regards, nemanja ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert]glint 1600SW I2C monitor info

One use for this would be to do what the Number Nine driver does with the monitor information: If it detects the SGI 1600 SW, it automatically enables the FlatPanel option. Right now xf86DoEDID_DDC2 is returning NULL with my Permedia 3 and the glint driver. Are there some extra DDC2 initialization steps missing in the driver perhaps? Sorry. I did say to Alan that I would look at that, but haven't. Our Permedia card is now on a Windows machine, so I can't easily do anything about this any more. I did find that DDC worked with a monitor connected to the VGA port, but not to the digital connection. I have some non X tools which could get DDC information via the digital connection, so XFree86 is definitely deficient. It is some months since I looked at this, but if I remember correctly one of the tools that I tried used the same VBE/Int10 calls as XFree86 and also failed, while another used different ones which worked. These tools are ddcprobe and ddcxinfo, which are or were part of RedHat 6.2 anaconda. I had endian or bitfield problems with the modelines when using these tools, so do check the results if you use them. -- Dr. Andrew C.

I'd like to know what display the X server is listening on. A server running on DISPLAY N will typically: - listen on the TCP port 6000 + N - listen on the Unix domain socket /tmp/.X11-unix/XN (It could also be listening on DECNET, OS/2 pipes, etc... IPv6 support is likely to become standard at some point in the future.) So, by using a command such as 'lsof' it's possible to figure out what displays a server is listening on. There is (AFAIK) no way to find this out through the X protocol, because a server may be available by many names. A display name is a way of contacting a display. A single display may well be available as: :0 - local unix domain socket localhost:0 - Over TCP :10.0 - forwarded over ssh Eg. ssh sets $DISPLAY to myhost.domain.org:10.0, while that doesn't work if the Xserver is Note that ssh acts as a proxy server, so myhost.domain.org:10.0 will typically be forwarded through to your real display.

We still don't know exactly how to calculate these values exactly. I've done some playing around with my laptop based on a Trident Cyber9525DVD, and I'm beginning to believe that the CRTC values can't be correct. In particular, the CRTC values change from what X sets when I press Fn-F5 to switch displays, and when I plug these values into the LCD[] array, the overlay becomes centered properly (without modifying the h/vsync). I haven't managed to get 640x480 (unstretched) to work with the overlay, since I can't get the trident driver to set the proper values (e.g. the values I set in the LCD array end up being different from what gets programmed into the VGA CRTC registers). The CRTC values I'm getting from my card when I switch video outputs is the same ones that are '#if 0'ed out above the current LCD[] array. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]Xinerama on 2 out of 3 displays
I have a machine running XFree86 Version 4.1.0 with three displays -- a Matrox G400 (dual head card) and an ATI Rage IIC. I want to bind the first display of the G400 and the ATI together with Xinerama and leave the second display of the G400 as a separate screen so that I can address windows to it with :0.1. It looks like Xinerama is just on or off, no configurabilty as to what to bind together as a display. Am I out of luck? b. -- Brian J.

[Xpert]SGI + Linux + dual (short version)
Hi, I am after a bit of advice on setting up dual headed X and problems with int10 module. Any help or advice appreciated. Error log located at : http://www.montagesystems.com.au/~bruins/XFree86.8.log What I am hoping to achieve: Firstly dual headed X11 using any two videocards from below. Main goal: Under X11, I would like to have the output of two videocameras displayed on two monitors. That is camera output A, in a window on monitor A. Camera output B, in a window on monitor B. What hardware I have: I have a SGI 1450, quad xeon 700, PC, buckets of disk and ram. 2 x PCI, ATI 128 RAGE PAL TV cards 32Meg(capture, video, etc). 1 x PCI, TV Excel (TV tuner with capture card), brooktree BT878 chipset. 1 x AGP, ATI Mach 64 (disabled in BIOS) 1 x PCI, V3800 Riva TNT2, 32 Meg (capture, video, etc) (not in machine) 1 x video source What software I have: Linux 2.4.8 kernel Mandrake 8.0 Traktopel Operating System Either - XFree86 4.1.0 XFree86 4.1.99.1 (built from source) xawtv ver. 3.60 Basically I can't even get the machine to run two headed, either xinerama or normal, let alone the two video cards displaying from sources. My guess is when int10 is probing the *second* video card, it can't read it's configuration and is failing. snip (II) Loading sub module int10 (II) LoadModule: int10 (II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a (II) R128(1): initializing int10 (EE) R128(1): Cannot read V_BIOS /snip What I believe I have got to work: Using the first 128 Rage card, I have got xawtv to read /dev/video from the brooktree card. What I have failed to get to work: Basically I have failed to get two headed X11 working no matter what I have tried. Using - the first 128 Rage card, xawtv (no options) Xfree86 4.1.0 (configured for one monitor only) Result - Machine lock after moving the mouse 6 cms. Using - the first 128 Rage card, xawtv (no options) Xfree86 4.1.99.1 (configured for one monitor only) modprobe videodev ldconfig Result - Would not use the xvideo extension, even though the module was loaded. Error mesg - Xawtv: input image, ports 55-55 Error mesg - Xawtv: no usable video port found If you could please advise me on the setup that is most likely to work, I would appreciate it.
