[Xpert]HWcursor with XFree4.2 and Matrox G550
When I launch X, XFree4.2 with driver mga (mga from XFree4.2 or from matrox-driver2.0) with HWcursor TRUE, I get a big striped cursor witch is not usable. With SWcursor it work fine but much more slowly; I realy need to use HWcursor. (With driver mga from matrox-1.4.3 HWcursor work, but when I quit a heavily X session I get SIG11.)

[Xpert]Error starting X
I have an embedded system with X windows, and it works OK. Now I try to compress the whole filesystem and boot with this image as initrd. I am using LILO, and my lilo.conf looks looks: image = /embedded/boot/bzImage ramdisk =1 label = embedded root = /dev/hda3 image = /embedded/boot/bzImage ramdisk = 1 label = embeddedRD initrd = /embedded/rootfs.gz root = /dev/ram0 rootfs.gz is /dev/hda3 but compressed. There is no linuxrc, so the only thing the initrd does is decompress rootfs.gz into /dev/ram0 and then mount it as root. Everything works fine, except X Windows. When I execute startx, I get these errors: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 ... giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno = 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno = 3): Server error I have compared the root filesystems resulting from booting embedded and embeddedRD and I see no difference.

[Xpert]Trident CyberBlade driver
Hi all, First of all, many thanks to Alan for providing us with an accelerated driver for the Trident XP cards. It's great to have it. There are a couple of issues that remain with this driver on the CyberBladeXPAi1 card, AKA Cyber-Aladdin-T from ALi (1644 northbridge) 1) Screen position : On the laptop LCD, the screen is shifted 5 pixels to the right. In other words, there is a 5 black pixels area on the left of the screen and 5 pixels are missing on the right side. In 24bpp, there are some artifacts left on the screen when moving windows (opaque move). This doesn't show in 16bpp. 2) XVideo problems : There is a line, all screen wide, appearing on top of the XVideo window. This show both in full screen and window playback. In window playback, the line moves along with the top of the window. More annoying, when using Xine as the video player, when returning from full screen playback, the whole coputer crashes and the LCD turns slowly to white, reminding me of a polarization problem (I guess this is somehow dangerous for the LCD). As far as I can tell, this doesn't show with MPlayer. However, I've been using Xine with other XFree drivers (NVidia) and got no problem. Note all these problems aren't new to the accel driver, they showed even with the previous non accelerated driver.

Addendum : In 24bpp, there are some artifacts left on the screen when moving windows (opaque move). This doesn't show in 16bpp. This might because I was running both Vesa and Trident drivers at the same time on different VC. It did not show again since I switched completely to the Trident driver.

[Xpert]ATI Radeon VE dual-head problems
I've been trying to configure a dual-head system using ATI Radeon VE on Linux RedHat 7.2, Xfree86 4.1.0 (as it comes in RH7.2). The card is the Dell version of Radeon VE, which doesn't have two connectors on it, but a larger one, from which a Y cable can adapt to a pair of analog or digital style connectors. The default RH installation recognizes properly the hardware and a single display configuration works just fine (DRI included). However all attempts to configure a dual-head system yielded only the right half of the desktop onto the left monitor and *no signal* on the secondary (right) monitor. Xfree86 4.2.0 installed from binaries didn't improve the situation. Interesting fact: the DDC retrieved info shows two different monitor serial numbers as the video card successfully communicated with both monitors! Did anybody use this card for a dual-head system? Thanks, Razvan (I could list the config. file and logs if necessary) ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Olivier Fourdan writes: There are a couple of issues that remain with this driver on the CyberBladeXPAi1 card, AKA Cyber-Aladdin-T from ALi (1644 northbridge) Hm, you should have spoken up earlier. Now I have returned my test system to Toshiba. On the other hand I didn't se any problems any more when I tested the most recent version of the code. 1) Screen position : On the laptop LCD, the screen is shifted 5 pixels to the right. In other words, there is a 5 black pixels area on the left of the screen and 5 pixels are missing on the right side. This one may be hard to fix without a system to test with. In 24bpp, there are some artifacts left on the screen when moving windows (opaque move). This doesn't show in 16bpp. Can you send a screenshot of an area where you see these artefacts? 2) XVideo problems : There is a line, all screen wide, appearing on top of the XVideo window. This show both in full screen and window playback. In window playback, the line moves along with the top of the window. Again it would be intereseting if this line is visible in a screenshot. More annoying, when using Xine as the video player, when returning from full screen playback, the whole coputer crashes and the LCD turns slowly to white, reminding me of a polarization problem (I guess this is somehow dangerous for the LCD). As far as I can tell, this doesn't show with MPlayer. However, I've been using Xine with other XFree drivers (NVidia) and got no problem. It is possible that Xine uses DGA for fill screen video.

I810Sync() is called when switched away from X11 (I810LeaveVT() called before

more seldom with KDE-2.2.2. Tried to add some protection against this (see

least in 24bpp mode (without disabling hardware acceleration).
Unfortunately your fix is not targeting the real problem.
We should look further to see why I810Sync() gets called
when X is switched away.
Can you please find out from where I810Sync() is called?
If you don't have the module aware version of dgb you
can do the following:
1. add a call to xf86Break1() to I810Sync() (you can put it
inside the if (I810_in_vt==0) { .. } so it gets only called
at the right place),
2. recompile the driver,
3. log in from remote, start X in gdb, then start KDE.
4. Before you switch consoles you add a breakpoint to
xf86Break1(), then switch consoles. Once you
hit the breakpoint you create a backtrace.
Thanks,
Egbert.
