[Xpert]Radeon Mobility and 4.2
Hi there, I have upgraded my X to 4.2 (from 4.1.99_1) using the rpms from Mike Harris ftp@redhat along with a kernel upgrade to 2.4.17. I have built the kernel using the RH 7.2 stock kernel config file (i686). I just selected the /dev/agpgart support for Intel 810/ (not the on board one). So far so good. I am able to get the full features of Radeon Mobility driver - 1024x768x16 @AGP 4X + DRI enabled. But with a small catch: When i directly boot the system at init 5 (i am using RH 7.2) the screen dislay fuzzy things and the system hangs (remote connection is the possible though). However, when i boot at init 3 and then run startx it works fine. Any clue/hints ? TIA P.S:Bye the way, i have Radeon mobility chip with only 8mb ! And for heavens sake don't tell me it is the vram's problem. I am tired of hearing that. ***--** GVS Prabhakar Reddy Research Assistant Model Analysis Lab (GIS Lab) Dept. of Biological Resources Engineering University of Maryland College Park, MD, 20742. tel: 301-405-0109 (o) : 301-982-7148 (r) fax: 301-314-9023 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Is this a Video4Linux device? The V4L module in the X-server should already be able to do that for you. Basically, the functions for setting up an overlay surface are only internal to the X-server, so another X-server module is the only thing that can arrange to have an overlay surface set up.

[Xpert]Mode timing problem, 4.2.0, ATI 3D Rage Pro 4749 "GI"
I've just installed Mike Harris's 4.2.0 RPM packages, and I have a
problem with the mode timing in 1280x960. The actual mode line used
is identical to that in previous versions, but the output from the
card is producing a distorted screen image.
Basically the top of the picture is leaning over to the right, like
a cumulonimbus cloud with a high wind hitting the top of it. When I
pop up the on-screen display to try to adjust the settings, the pop-
up is distorted in the opposite direction as though the monitor is
already trying quite hard to compensate for the distortion.
As far as I can discover this problem appeared around 4.1.99.2, but
I can probably try to narrow it down a little better tomorrow when I
can build some older versions to test.
The problem does not appear on the second display in the same mode, so
it appears to be specific to this card.
Config, log file and output of xdpyinfo attached. Screen 1 exhibits
the distortion, screen 0 (switched to the same mode, 1280x960@85) is
OK. Problem exists in 16 and 24/32 depths.

I don't know about the original poster, but what you're probably seeing is that 'make World' will do an initial 'make clean' to clean out from a previous build if the top level "xmakefile" file exists.

I got around it by similar hacks to those ones you describe (I've got a Mobility M1, aka a Mach64).

You're not going to get that to work. The XFree86 4 driver interface is very high level. This allows the driver to replace large parts of XFree86 functionality, however, for the general case it doesn't and has a high degree of reliance on helper functions exported by the core X-server. It's not the functions so much as the fact that core server data structures like the ScreenRec are accessible by the drivers, allowing the driver to severely modify X-server behavior in an XFree86-specific way. The driver interface is documented in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/DESIGN. Mark. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]Emulating binary interface?
Hi, [I just posted this on [EMAIL PROTECTED], and was redirected to ask here. I subscribed on the list, so no Cc: to my address necessary.] We're working on an experimental operating systeme here at the university of ulm. (some outdated infos can be found on http://www.plurix.de/ - we intend to publish it under an open source license as soon as it is "in shape" enough for this.) We have rather big problems with getting documentation when trying to write our graphics drivers, and so we had the Idea to include binary drivers from other platforms by emulating the environment they need. Windows is not acceptable (We would have to emulate the Win32k, the NToskernel, the HAL and some more, all in all about 2000 API functions to get the drivers working), and so we thought about the XFree 4 binary interface. Our OS is based on a java-like language with our very own compiler (generating i386 machine code), but for the glue code, we could use assembler and c if necessary. Where can I get detailed info about the XFree86 binary driver interface (mainly the 2D and 3D graphics and acceleration part are interesting, we don't need font renderers, input handling etc.) other than from the source? Is there a Document describing the interface and environment such a driver expects? A rough estimation in how much functions etc. would have to be provided is also appreciated.

[Xpert]Re: Multi-head setup problem - SUCCESS !
Hello all, I am extremely grateful to everybody on the mailing-list who replied with very valuable and timely suggestions in order to help me configure a multihead setup. I finally succeded & wish to share with you all, the observations that I made in order to achieve the multihead setup: Observations: = * I was told that the built-in Video Card [ ATI - (1:0:0) ], was being treated as Secondary and the add-on Card [ Matrox MGA 2064W (0:13:0) ], was being recognised as a Primary Card, in my setup, which could be the cause of suppression and mal-behaviour of the built-in ATI card. Another suggestion that came forth in this aspect was that of changing the jumper settings on the Matrox card, used to disable VGA and make it behave like a Secondary Card. [Incidentally, only Matrox comes with such a jumper setting. ] * Also, the entry - Load "int10", was suggested to be added in XF86Config-4, which is said to cause the secondary card to get initialised. [ The "XFree86 -configure" does not generate this entry automatically. ] * Also, frame-buffer device-driver was not essential to the multihead setup. Steps : == I followed the above observations in letter & spirit : * Changed the jumper-setting on the Matrox Card to "Disable VGA". * Added the entry 'Load "int10"' in XF86Config-4. * Did a fresh install of the kernel [ with no frame-buffer device-driver ]. Final Setup : === * XFree86 -scanpci : (0:13:0) Matrox MGA 2064W (1:0:0) ATI card using a ATI Mach64 GD * The built-in ATI card is no longer suppressed. In fact, the console shows up on the monitor connected to the ATI. - Thank you very much for having been so instrumental in solving my problem. - Shobhit Mathur [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] - Original Message - From: SHOBHIT MATHUR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, January 17, 2002 9:57 pm Subject: Re: Multi-head setup problem > > Hello all, > >I received a lot of clues in the form of questions and > suggestions. >I am still in doldrums, so far as multihead setup is > concerned.Based >on the feedback from members who responded, I am providing > additional >information to get more suggestions in order to solve this > problem. > >Recap of the setup/problem: > > > * 2 monitors - Acer 77c > * The PC is an AcerPower S Series > * The 2 Video cards are : >ATI Card Mach 64 [ built-into the motherboard ] >Matrox MGA 2064W [ Add-on card - PCI slot ] > * XFree86 -pci recognizes both the cards and allots BusIds. >(0:13:0) Matrox MGA 2064W - FIRST > VIdeo Card >(1:0:0) ATI card using a ATI Mach64 GDP - SECOND > [built-in]. > * Kudzu repeatedly reports the absence of the built-in card > [ATI]and >prompts the user to remove from the configuration. > >Problem : >--- > >Not able to bring-up multihead support. > >Additional information : >-- > >XFree86 -version: XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X > WindowSystem >Machine architecture: i386 > >New observation : > > * Frame-buffer device-driver needs to be a part of the compiled > kernel >in order to observe multihead behaviour. > > * The monitor connected to ATI [built-in AGP Card], indicates >"Out of Range" with a glowing green light.

[Xpert]composite_sync
Hi folks, I have a short question: I'm using Xfree86 with a ATi Rage Pro card and a Compaq monitor. Unluckily, this monitor does not support DDC, and now I have noticed this: When I use XFree86 4.1.0, everything works fine using the ati driver. When I use Xfree86 4.2.0, again with the ati driver, my screen remains blank, although X starts up successfully. After a little research, I noticed that adding the line Option "composite_sync" "false" to my XF86Config file solves the problem. The question that arises now is this: Since the monitor doesn't support DDC, it cannot tell X if composite sync should be used or not. Now, it seems that the ati driver in 4.1.0 assumed to *not* use composite_sync by default if a DDC probe fails, while 4.2.0 seems to do the opposite: It seems to enable composite sync by default if a DDC probe fails. I'm wondering if there is a specific reason why this has been changed.

Hi, I just upgraded from XFree 3.3.6 to 4.1 on my laptop which has a Ati Rage Mobility chip. On 3.3.6, suspend and awake worked fine by making the apmd switching to a text console before suspending, using the chvt command in the apmd proxy.

Just as if there was another "chvt 7" called just before the suspension. I traced the apmd proxy script to make sure that the "chvt 1" is indeed executed, but I could not find any hint about another chvt which switches back to X.

The "merged/xinerama" mode allows you to have one large frame-buffer (the virtual desktop) with the two heads showing two windows into this picture. In the simplest case this looks like xinerama, although it may (I don't have a G450) also allow you to move one or both heads around the virtual desktop, perhaps one screen showing everything, and the other one a zoomed in view of part of the picture. Without this feature, the driver pretends that the card has two completely separate framebuffers, and then Xinerama pretends that these separate framebuffers are one.
