[Xpert]Re: 8-bit psuedocolor overlays
From experience, I can tell you that Matrox cards work great for a single-headed configuration, but I had problems (wouldn't work) doing it w/ both heads. Supposedly this is fixed, but I haven't had time to verify that. Notes on drivers should be up on xfree86.org.

[Xpert]Getting 24bbp with my Matrox
I am unable to get 24bbp at 1280x960 on my Matrox Mystique under XFree86, although it runs happily this way under Micro$loth 2000 pro. The error reported in the XFree86 log is not enough memory for this mode. The log file reports 4096K ram, which is correct. This is what is physically installed on the Mystique, and is also what is reported by M$ 2000. It will run 1280x960 at 16bpp. (I test this by starting X with -depth 16) It makes no difference whether I use +xinerama or -xinerama. This problem was also observed with XFree86 4.1.x. Seems to me that if M$ 2000 can drive this card at 1280x960x24bppx75hz then XFree86 should be able to as well. But I am stuck.

You have to force 24bpp. -fbbpp 24 on the commandline or a FbBpp 24 in the Section Screen in the XF86Config file will do that.

[snip] I'm not aware that it is currently possible, but it does suggest a possible new feature. How about a video driver who's hardware is a remote X connection ? Rather like Ricardo A. Baratto's suggestion of a null video driver (to replace the null X server Xfvb). Damn. I had exactly this idea a few years ago, and toyed around with it a little bit, but never got to a useful state. And now I've lost all that code. (Lesson learned: Always back up your cool code at home, don't trust the sysadmin to preserve your account when you let it go dormant just for a month or so.) It would definitely be a cool project. I'd suggest a slightly different architecture: Have a direct-rendering client on the slave nodes, which accepts drawing commands from the network connection (I was using simple pixel rectangle transfers rendered via OpenGL [which got me the ability to make NT machines slaves too], but it could be X protocol) and renders them to the slave screen. The master server has a ServerLayout section that refers to many of these clients; either it connects to the client (slave display) or the slave display connects to the master server. Once connected the server sends drawing commands to the slave clients. There are then two ways to do a multi-head setup: Method one would have a Screen section that refers to the local display, and another Screen section that refers to a remote display. Method two would have two servers running on the local host; the server running at :0 is a simple Virtual FB server, with another server running at :1 that talks to the local hardware. (Bad for performance, but fabulous for reducing the complexity of the Virtual FB server's setup.) -andy ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Polling for the retrace in the server should not be done for stuff like this. These apps are typically cpu intensive so they are competing with the server for CPU. That means the server might not even be scheduled during the retrace a good deal of the time. I suspect the server spends its entire slice spinning most of the time. Right, I didn't program this. I don't like to put any of this busy waiting into drivers if I can help it. Especially during DVD playback this will waste so much CPU time. This will certainly not increase quality of the playback.

[Xpert]Xwilling
When using the original Xwilling-script in 9/10 cases xdm displays: willing, but /etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling failed I took a look into xc/programs/xdm/policy.c to find out whats wrong there and I came to the conclusion the the fgets returns NULL. Reading twice or even more times with fgets fixed the error fine. Any hints on how submitting a fully acceptable patch and what to take notice of while fixing the line 134: ? As far as I can see the fgets is interrupted by some signal (didnt find out what signal exactly yet), reads some bytes (8-10 in average cases), does not terminate the string with \0 and returns NULL and EINTR is set (only on BSD relevant as linux' glibc doesnt come up with errno in fgets). I was thinking of writing my own readlin-function, waiting fo r \n here. ANy ideas, hints, suggestions or questions ? http://bugs.debian.org/140374 shows my 1st attempt on fixing it but still contains bugs cause I do ask errno here.

If your application is really brain-damaged you may have to leave things like that, but you can use the -cc option to X to change the default if you wish. man XF86Config suggests that a line like: Visual TrueColor in the Device section would also work, but my server doesn't like that.
