Re: [Xpert]xterm is crashing in my latest build of CVS HEAD.

2001-12-25 Thread Miles Lane

Hi Shawn,

After further exploration, I think this particular problem is
due to building CVS HEAD against the 2.5.1-dj5 kernel tree.

This seems to point out the ongoing liability of linking 
stuff that lives in the kernel tree (a practice not thought
of kindly by Linus and other kernel developers).

Anyhow, I switched to the 2.4.17 tree and reran make in /usr/src/xc.
I can now launch xterm, emacs and a few other programs that were
segfaulting with my previous build.

Thanks,
Miles

[Xpert]AGP G200 won't sync_on_green, old Millennium card did!

2001-12-25 Thread Steve

I have no problems getting my old Millennium 2064W card to do 
sync_on_green, but no matter what I try I can't get my new AGP G200 
Millennium card to do it.  The old Sony monitor is not fixed frequency 
so can handle different modelines no problem.  Is sync_on_green even 
supported on the agp card?  I've even tried using same XF86Config files 
that worked for the PCI card, and just changed the card type and 
VideoRam size but still no go.  Has anyone actually got the AGP version 
of the G200 doing sync_on_green?  If so please help.
Steve.

You can fix this; pass '-from ' on the X server command line should 
do the trick (where  refers to the appropriate interface).

[Xpert][mga] pointer hotspot gets desynced with viewport on G400 AGP

2001-12-25 Thread Gregory Stark


I reported a bug a while ago about the mouse pointer graphic getting out of
sync with the actual hot spot of the mouse pointer. I've since updated X
server and the problem is reduced but still present.

The problem isn't gone, however it's slightly changed. Instead of jumping 8
pixels and having the mouse pointer be offset 0-7 pixels the jump increment is
now 4 pixels. This is much less intrusive however it's still broken. The mouse
pointer is still off by as much as 3 pixels. And the jumping is still somewhat
annoying compared with the smooth scrolling of old.

What's odd is it only seems to happen in 640x480 and above. The behaviour is
different at 320x240. Under 320x240 the screen still pans in increments of 4
but the mouse cursor warps back 4 pixels when it does. So the mouse stays
aligned. Under 640x480 the hot point is up to four pixels ahead of the screen
panning even though the graphic doesn't move, then when the screen pans four
pixels it catches up with the mouse pointer graphic.

I mentioned in my original report that the jump scrolling is a terrible
misfeature. It's visually distracting and very annoying. Is there any way to
turn it off and get back the slick smooth scrolling that xfree86 v3 had?

[Xpert]XDMCP problem.

2001-12-25 Thread Michel Van den Bergh

Hello,

I have a problem for Xperts.

I am running XFree86 v3.3.6a (video card is not supported by 4.x)
on RH 7.1.

I have the following problem. I have three network interfaces:
-eth0 with ip 192.168.1.1
-eth1 with ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-ppp0 with ip yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (and peer zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz)

ppp0 is the default interface (it is in fact a tunnel through eth1
which is a high speed internet connection. I fully understand this
setup and it works).

The hostip is yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (which resolves correctly from
the hostname).

When I execute

X -query zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz -ac :1   (recall zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz is the peer of
ppp0)

the X server sends XDMCP packets to zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz and zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz.

answers it is "willing to manage".

HOWEVER the reply by zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz does not
go to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy but to 192.168.1.1 which is the private IP address
of
my internal lan interface eth0 and which is of course inaccessible from
the outside.

Inspection of the XDCMP packets coming from my computer
with ethereal shows that they really refer to the address 192.168.1.1
instead of to the address of my computer: yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy.

Question: is this normal behaviour and how can I change it?

I would be extremely grateful for anybody who can help
me in this matter.

Best regards,
Michel

S3 tells me they do not have ViRGE MX+ documentation available any
longer (well, at least not a full reference manual.)  When you say vga
bios, do you really mean bios documentation?  The bios on a ViRGE card
may be manufacturer specific.  Or would register level ViRGE
documentation be okay?  I have a copy of the ViRGE MX register level
documentation which is not under NDA, if you want it.  (Contact me
privately.)  You can also try http://www.s3graphics.com.  The developer
relations contact was unresponsive in recent attempts, but sales or
marketing still responds.  They will require you to sign an NDA to
receive documents from them.

Re: [Xpert]Using character sets without a locale

Others may know better, but as far as I know, the multi-byte support in 
Xlib is dependent on the ANSI/ISO C language locale model and hence relies 
on underlying C library support of each locale.

The lack of standardization in the underlying locales supported is part of 
the reason I believe many projects are moving away from a locale-based 
model for internal text support and towards a model where the 
locale-specific text is converted at the operating system boundaries of 
the application to a standard Unicode encoding.  

Once the text is internally represented in Unicode, there are convenient
Xlib functions that accept utf8 encoded strings (Xutf8DrawText et al.)
This will also ease the transition from core X text support to the newer 
client-side font support of Xft which provides only Unicode APIs.

[Xpert]Using character sets without a locale

2001-12-25 Thread Richard Stallman

I'd like to internationalize Emacs menus.
XCreateFontSet and XmbDrawString seem to be designed
to use a locale defined by the host platform (i.e. by libc);
that doesn't help Emacs because it doesn't know what locales
the host supports or what they mean, so it can't find one
that is suitable. 

Is there any platform-independent way of using fontsets
and multibyte characters with Xlib?

[Xpert]Xinerama incorrect DPI values

2001-12-25 Thread Eddy Ilg

Hi,

I startet using Xinerama with KDE some time ago andxit works fine. I have problems 
displaying True Type Fonst though. They are twice as wide as they should be. I have 
searched for other people having this problem and found a few but no solution. Is 
there a solution?
The problem is that my virtual resolution of 2880x1200 pixels gets mapped to 
406x305mm. So a pixel is not sqare any more.


Thanks

2001-12-25 Thread Thomas Winischhofer


Erm...hi, it's me - again.

Just finished another update. Mode restoration now (on my machine)
works, so you may use the sisfb and the new X driver at the same time.

There were changes in _both_ drivers, so you need to install them both.

Please read the information on http://www.webit.com/tw/linux.shtml for
problems still unsolved.
