[Xpert]Help about woking of X-server
Hi All !
I have been stuck up with a problem of
Xfbdev regarding the improper display of
colors in the pictures , and have not
got any suggestions which could resolve
my problem form this 'Xpert' mailing list .
Now I have no option but to sit and
understand the complete working of X-windows
to try and figure out my probelm & find a
solution .
To aid this effort of mine , apart
from the actual source of X-server , can
you suggest me any documents on the internet
which cover the following topics :
<1> An overall overview of X-server working .
<2> An explanation of the working of X-server
with respect to the actual X-server source.
<3> An explanation of X-server interaction with
the framebuffer driver .
<4> An overview of X-server colours concepts .
{ like True Color , Pseudo Color , etc }
<5> Any other important functionality which
is essential part of proper working of
X-server .
Your help will be appreciated .
Thanks .
With Regards

[Xpert]XFree86 4.2.0 and SCO Unixware 7.1.1
Hello all, I'm wondering if someone could point me in a good direction for getting XFree to run correctly with SCO Unixware. I really don't like this operating system, since even with it's latest release in the 7.x series, it doesn't support the video subsystem that I am working with (Xsco that is.). I'm using a CT69030 with 4 MB VRAM embedded. FAQ's, gettin SCO's dtlogin (dtgreet) to run using XFree instead of Xsco, etc.. is what I'm looking for. Thanks for everyone's time.

I don't know much about DGA, but my understanding is that it has a lot of issues because it is sort of a big hack (but useful), and the real solution is to replace it with real protocols like XVideo and a similar capture extension.

Only the early board revisions work with the 4.2 "nv" driver, which were all I had access to at the time. After 4.2 I found that the nv driver was too simple to support many if not most of the newer NV17 boards. All should work in CVS, however.

Giving it some more thought: I agree we should be using OpenGL even for 2D scaling. My little hack to the XVideo driver was to compare speed performance, as the texture upload speed for high-framerate 2D graphics was really slow using the DRI drivers. I should probably fix the DRI code instead of using XVideo. -- Billy Biggs [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

This already works in the NVIDIA closed source drivers on my TNT2U using the XVideo extension and the "NV05 Video Blitter". This device supports a RGB visual and thus is perfectly adapted to what you want to do.

With the texture engine in most cards these days you can get happy 2d R'G'B' scaling, and apparently some new cards can do gamma-correct scaling (woohoo!). Hardware scaling is useful for emulators especially so you can get nice fullscreen modes without having to convince your monitor to get back to 320x240, and without hurting your CPU.

[Xpert]LocalClient extensions vs. ssh
When running X request thru a ssh tunnel LocalClient() returns true as the sshd connects to the Xserver from the same machine. This leads to unpredictable results and even system crashes if an application that can only run locally is started on a remote system. If for example an application wants to address the framebuffer directly thru DGA it will try to map the framebuffer on the machine it is started on not the one where the Xserver lives on.

[Xpert]DGA keyboard state vs. Xkb
There is a long standing issue with DGA and xkb: When handling the keyboard from inside DGA it tries to keep the core keyboard state in sync. This is sufficient if no xkb extension is active. If the xkb extension is active however its internal state can get out of sync with unpredictable results if the core state has changed between start and exit of DGA mode. I worked around this by simply not updating the core state while inside of DGA if the xkb extension is active. Is there any deeper reason why DGA keeps the core keyboard state up to date or is this rather cosmetic? Egbert. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

But 3B x 157.5MHz vs. 800MB/s seems a fair enough distance for a short test with Intel calling these settings "supported".
