[Xpert]External Monitor and ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF rev 2
I can't remember if I asked this here or not. I know I had intended to :) The thing is I can't seem to find anything about it in the archives. Anyway... I have an IBM Thinkpad A22m 2628 STU. It runs debian/woody with the precompiled binary for XFree86 v 4.1.0.1. I have been running successfully for several months using the LCD as the display. However, I can't seem to do anything to get the external monitor working (which is a shame because I have a nice 21). In the Device section for my ATI, I have Option Display BIOS # str Driver ati I've tried # Option UseBIOSDisplay # Option crt_screen neither of which work. What happens is that it boots up fine in console mode. When I startx the monitor goes black. I then use the hot keys to switch back to the LCD. At that point the image is all garbled up. I have to switch to console mode and repeatedly use the hot keys to cycle through the various LCD/ext.mon. combinations to get a clear image again. I'm a fairly competent C programmer. I doubt I could find the bug by myself; however, I'm sure I could do some guided testing and debugging. As so many other notebooks have this same graphics chip, I wonder how many other people see this same behavior. I know I've talked to one other Dell owner with the same thing. -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I saw some posts where it looked like the cause of the problem was pinpointed, but haven't seen anything in the changelogs. It does work with the 4.1.0 driver to some degree with the 4.2.0 server and related files. What was the problem on yours. Wrong colors?

[Xpert]Intel 830M
Hi I've just installed Red Hat 7.2 in my laptop Toshiba 3000-X4, but when I try to start the X windows system I receive an error no screen found. My driver is Intel 830M and I've seen that is not in the list of the drier supported. What can I do? Francesca ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]mesa support for redhat 7.2 [XFree86 4.1.0]
Hey I've noticed that when i close down java3d applications that it crashes the X server. I think this may have to do with the vidoe drivers i'm using and the lack of mesa support. I found this in the java3d readme and think it may be a clue: REQUIREMENTS This version of Java 3D(TM) for Linux requires the following: Java 2 Runtime or SDK version 1.3.1 or later from Blackdown (http://www.blackdown.org/) or Sun Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/j2se/). XFree86 3.3.6 with Mesa 3.1 or later or XFree86 4.1 or later with XFree86's Mesa library and DRI or XFree86 4.1 with NVidia drivers 1.0-2313 or later or XFree86 4.1 with an official (ie. not XFree86's) Mesa library (http://www.mesa3d.org/) if you can't or don't want to use DRI Note that XFree86 4 with XFree86's Mesa library without DRI is not supported at this time! Most likely the XServer will crash when you close Java3D application with that setup. But... I can't find a mesa library extension for redhat!! Does anyone know if one exists??! Or what is going on??

[Xpert]DGA2
Hi all ! I'm new to this mailing list, hope I won't be off topic (and hope that my english will not be too bad. So, I wrote a little graphic library, using Xlib, Xshm, DGA, and I can't find anything (doc, tutorial, etc) about DGA2.

I've got some good ideas for optimizing parts of X with assembler, however certain things need to be ensured first. 1) A generic C codepath exists, so that code remains portable 2) Any assembler optimization should be build-time configureable 3) Runtime CPU detection and CPU capability detection should be done, and fallback to generic C code at runtime, if no assembler path is available for the CPU it is running on. Such code will be not only CPU dependant, but also compiler dependant, so it is something that should likely default to off for maximum portability. I've toyed around with ideas for doing this a bit, but haven't done any serious coding on it. I know many others have expressed an interest in doing this too though. It probably will happen at some point. The biggest trick, is finding parts of the code that would benefit from optimization to begin with, and try to optimize them algorithmically and otherwise first before resorting to any low level code. I'm sure many parts of X could be optimized better purely in C first. One thing that springs to mind is MMX/3Dnow/SSE optimized copy's, etc. that would probably benefit here and there.
