Here is some which I have made especially for testing the 830M > driver. Thanks for the modelines, but I don't believe that they are the problem. In fact, I tried to use the modelines that you sent, but it didn't change the error message at all (in fact, it didn't have any effect on the log file). AFAIK, XFree86 these days comes with a set of default modelines already, so that it is not always necessary to have them explicitly in the configuration file. The other reason for me to believe that the modelines are not the problem is that in 8pp in three different resolutions as well as in 16bpp with 640x480 the system works perfectly fine without me having to provide explicit modelines. (I don't want to rule out that I need explicit modelines, but at least they don't seem to be the only problem.) Since my original message, I have done a little more research and have come with a conjuncture as to what might be the cause of the problem. According to Intel's support page http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel830m/tti004.htm the i830M manages two sorts of video memory. One of those being what they call "legacy VGA/SVGA memory." The amount of memory allocated as legacy VGA/SVGA memory apparently depends on the BIOS and can be 512kB, 1MB, or 8MB. (Intel also suggest that this should be adjustable in the BIOS setup, but, as far as I can see, it isn't in the Dell C400.) At boot time, I get the following messages in `dmesg': agpgart: Detected an Intel 830M Chipset. agpgart: detected 1024K stolen memory. >From a quick look at the agpgart source code, it seems as if this "stolen memory" is the same that Intel calls "legacy VGA/SVGA memory." If that is true, the chip may just have allocated to little memory to run in high-resolution with anything more than 8bpp. The question then is, how can I get the i830 to allocate 8MB instead of 1MB? I would suspect that it requires a BIOS call at boot time. If you have a i830M-based machine at hand, I would be grateful if you could check which amount of "stolen memory" the agpgart module reports on your hardware.

Re: [Xpert]need help setting up xfree86 on sparcstation 20
Jim, Thanks for your response (below); here are a couple preliminary observations. The suncg14 driver and the sunleo drivers are drivers with those names under the Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers tree. They themselves are not built when you build the monolithic Xsun server: I know because I tried that first. Whether or not their equivalents are built into Xsun I do not know. Sunleo is, I believe, but I have not yet convinced myself that Xfree86/Xsun24 even supports the cg14 directly. If it does, the code for it is well disguised. I'll be interested in what you learn. As I mentioned, I have a build using the cheating approach on a sparc20/cg14. Unfortunately, this system is running Solaris 2.5.1, and I can't take it out of service to try Solaris 8. I can force the build to go to completion; I'll let you know if it actually runs. Regards, Ferris -- Ferris E.

While searching through mailing lists, I have found a changelog that says "sunleo and suncg14 now correctly set bpp." This was after the 4.1.0 release, which is what I tried. So, I checked out the latest version of XFree86 from CVS, and am presently building it on a sparc20/cg14 system running solaris 8. We'll see how it goes. The Xsun* servers are all that built when I tried 4.1.0.

[Xpert]SiS 630 - framebuffer fixed
Hi, after five days of struggle with reverse-engineered assembler code transformed to C, I could fix the SiS framebuffer driver for use with some LCD displays using a LVDS (Chromtel) video bridge. That is what most laptops use, as for example the Gericoms (and some Claveos I have heard). Since I had to re-write a large part of the (totally uncommented) code, I have not yet made a patch (which would be _huge_). Instead, you can find the complete source on http://members.aon.at/~twinisch/sisfb.tar.gz for download. Just cd to /usr/src/linux/drivers/video/sis/ and extract the archive there. I based the code on the one contained in kernel 2.4.16 (I saw no sisfb updated in 2.4.17-preX/rcX so this should do.) To select a mode, either a) append a kernel parameter, eg. video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x16 or b) insmod it with the command line "insmod sisfb mode=1024x768x16" Default mode is 800x600x8 which has problems on LCD panels (see below). Caveats and issues: 1) I had to change the driver in its very basics for make it work on LVDS/Chromtel bridges. LVDS data tables were empty in the driver, so this couldn't have worked by any means. I re-wrote large parts of the code (hopefully not touching anything not-LVDS-related) to make the driver read the data contained in the BIOS. This implys the following issue: The driver relies - if an LVDS bridge (with or without Chromtel/Trumpion TV converter) is to be used - on a machine with a BIOS. It will _not_ work with LinuxBIOS. As I believe that LinuxBIOS is not widely used anyway, I think we could live with that. 2) The driver currently only displays 16bpp modes correctly on LCD screens (using LVDS bridges, that is). I am working on this and will release a patch as soon as I found the problem. (VGA is OK). Currently, the image is very dark on the LCD and - as it seems - in black & white (???). 3) The current X driver from CVS does work in combination with the framebuffer driver, but there seems to be at least one problem (not leading into further trouble on my machine, yet) with the hardware cursor. I don't know whether this is memory management related or not, however, to fix this is beyond my scape of knowledge. 4) DRM works fine, as long as you set the memory to more than 16MB. Below that I saw occasional screen corruption (which again makes me believe that it's a memory management problem). 5) TV-out doesn't work. The tables in the driver are empty and I have no idea where to find the data in the BIOS. 6) If you intend to use DRM under X, a word on this: It works. BUT: a) If the sisfb is compiled as a module and not insmod'ed _before_ the X driver takes over (so to say), it for some reasons is not able to detect the video bridge type. This is possibly a hardware problem; it seems the X driver did something odd that leads into wrong data in the SiS hardware registers. b) If the sisfb is compiled into the kernel or insmod'ed _before_ X starts, this problem does not occure. c) Always set the video memory to the maximum available. Low mem situations are not handled well by DRM/DRI. Now my list of "pleases": A) Please test the driver and report the result to me. Always include the corresponding part of the syslog and describe exactly what modes with what depth you used and what you saw on the screen. Report's like "I used your driver and I saw nothing" are completely useless. B) Please report also _when_it_works_. I have no idea how many of you actually use a SiS chipset so that's interesting to know either. C) A final please: People _not_ using an LVDS bridge should also test the code. As said, I tried not to touch anything not-LVDS-related, but .. ya' never know... Thomas PS: Marcello/Linus: If you insist, I would make a patch as well.

As you already knew, it builds Xsun because the loadable driver version is not officially supported with Solaris. To see what it does, I am building such a thing on a Sparc20/cg14 system (running Solaris 2.5.1). If the built-in loader works, it will load the driver suncg14_drv.o, and that driver always runs the card in 24 bit mode.

I would think that most end user's would feel that The X11 specification doesn't allow it, and it would break most apps. Clients expect a single color depth and they render all their images, etc... assuming that. There's no abstraction layer to deal with this like there is in OpenGL. X clients draw with pixel data, not colors. Resolution is an easier problem to solve because generally all you break is the window manager (which doesn't know anything about the size change). > this is a very nice thing to be able to do.

There is an extension in the works to allow resizes. Don't hold your breath though. So basically, the answer is core X11 doesn't support this and never did. Alot of applications assume these rules won't change. There is an extension in the works to allow resizes, but that's most likely an XFree86 5.x feature because it will likely require changes to the driver architecture.

Could be an acceleration bug in the driver. You didn't mention which card you have. If Option "NoAccel" in the Section "Device" makes it go away, that's what it is. If not, it's something else.

[Xpert]problem with matrox g200
I have installed redhat 7.2 with XFree86 4.1 in my box. I have a Matrox g200 agp card and a LCD screen HP L1810. I set up the DRI and it works all fine for low resolution (8 bit color) that uses les than 2MB but if I try a more fancy resolution the bottom half of the screen becomes black and nothing can be displayed there.

[Xpert]Cirrus Logic 5434
I'm having trouble with the Cirrus Logic 5434 , but I believe it's a driver bug/problem .. My card only has one meg of RAM (Jaton PCI53). The trouble is that any resolution with a depth over 8-bits has vertical lines of distortion about an inch apart all across the screen . All the resolutions above 640x480 are pruned .. Sometimes I get 720x400 .. I tried xfree 4.1.0 , and the latest CVS. I also tried the video card in a windows machine and I was able to get all the resolutions. I switched monitors with no change too. Another problem is that I can get a normal looking desktop using acceleration in any resolution or depth. The colors and text are distorted.

Also if you don't mind compiling, I just noticed that TV-out on the 3Dfx Voodoo3 3500TV is also supported, albeit in a roundabout way. You can find those cards very cheap now. Also, you can get the new SiS 315 chip based cards, which, from the sounds made from the laptop folks working on the SiS driver, might work with TV-out as well.

[Xpert]ATI Radeon VE and SGI 1600sw with Multilink
I have a couple of problems using XFree86 4.1 which ships with RH 7.2 as well as with the CVS as of one week ago. I have the Multilink connected to the DVI port on the radeon. 1. DPMS doesn't work. I looked in the source and it seems that DPMS only gets turned on if connected to a CRT. Why shouldn't this work for a flatpanel? 2. Using 1600x1024 basically works but occasionally the screen seems to lose sync and then comes back almost immdiately. 3. There is some ocassional what I guess would be called static. The Multilink requires a vertical and horizontal refresh of 60 HZ and the radeon doesn't seem to quite do that. It insists on 63.36 according to the multilink. Any ideas as to what I could do differently? Later ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Hi again, Okay. I've been working on this on my own, and I think I found something. In an earlier post, Michel asked if I am using the Option "UseFBDev". I am NOT. However in my XFree86.0.log, I notice that the DOUBLE-BUFFER and FB extensions get loaded. Should this be happening? If not, how can I comment them out and prevent them from loading.

Re: [Xpert]SiS630 Xv performance (a bit better now)
I don't see any tearing. Sometimes the playback halts for a very short moment, but I think that depends on apm. (While playback X and Xine together take ~ 40% of the cpu time.) -Andre.

[Xpert]TV-Out capable cards..
I've not had much luck in the "newbie" mailing list so I thought I'd try here. Having done some more digging... I've found this in the cvs source for the next xfree86 release... [#1] Sounds like the RADEON VE is supported :o) ... but the TV out is not :o( Does anyone have an idea as to if/when that function may be supported? Failing that, can anyone else recommend a graphics card that does have TV out support? My basic requirements are value for money (you can read that as "as cheap as possible"). But with a working TV-Out. My only other possible purchase at the moment seems to be an Nvidia GeForce2MX using the Nvidia binary drivers :o( something I'd rather not have to do. [#1] Commit ATI's driver patch for ... ATI LINUX DRIVER UPDATE July, 2001, ATI Technology 1. New features: (1) New cards: RADEON VE, RADEON MOBILITY M6, All-in-Wonder RADEON, RAGE 128 PRO ULTRA (2) Digital Flat Panel and LCD (VE and M6 only). (3) Dual-head and Xinerama (VE and M6 only). (4) EDID using DDC2(I2C) interface. 2. Unsupported features and known bugs: (1) DRI is not currently working with dual-head/Xinerama setup. (2) Monitor hot swapping (P&D) is not supported. (3) Power management is not fully implemented. (4) TV output is not supported. > -- > > Cheers, > Dave Russell > The three Rs of Microsoft support: Retry, Reboot, Reinstall.
