There's already a place in the (source) tree for XFree86-specific documentation:

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/

there just isn't any protocol documentation there right now.

Install the XFree86 src.rpm, edit the spec file, change the line 
DebuggableBuild to 1, and append "dbg" do the Release number. 
Then do:  rpm -bb XFree86.spec

The resulting packages contain full debug code and symbols for 
everything.

You can debug it then with gdb from:

ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/gdb-xfree86

Red Hat Linux 7.2 doesn't support the Radeon 7500.  You need
XFree86 4.2.0 for Radeon 7500 support, which comes with Red Hat
Linux 7.3.

good luck,

[Xpert]Weird scan-rate related crash in Radeon driver

2002-06-23 Thread David D. Hagood

I've come across a weird problem in the Radeon drivers in 4.2 - 
depending upon the horizontal scan rates I specify for my monitor, I can 
cause a divide by zero within the Radeon init code.

Here's the relevant sections of my XF86Config file:

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier  "PX-982"
 HorizSync   30-80
 #HorizSync   30-85
 VertRefresh 50-100
 Modeline "1600x1200" 175.50   1600 1664 1856 2120   1200 1201 1203 
1230
 Modeline "1600x1200@60" 156.20   1600 1664 1856 2120   1200 1201 
1203 1230
 Modeline "1600x1200@72" 187.75   1600 1664 1856 2120   1200 1201 
1203 1230
 Option "DPMS"
 DisplaySize 362 273
EndSection
Section "Screen"
 Identifier  "Screen 1"
 #Device  "3dfx"
 Device  "radeon"
 Monitor "PX-982"
 DefaultDepth 24
 Subsection "Display"
 Depth   24
Modes   "1600x1200" "1600x1200@60" "1600x1200@72" "1280x1024" "1024x768" 
"800x600" "640x480"
 ViewPort0 0
 EndSubsection

Now, if I change the horizontal scan rate of the monitor from 30-80 to 
30-85, then X does a divide by zero at startup. I've traced it down to 
file radeon_driver.c, routine RADEONInitDDARegisters, save->post_div is 
zero. Now, WHY save->post_div is zero is beyond the few minutes I've put 
into it.

My questions are:
1) How can I get symbols loaded on the drivers, so that I can debug this 
in a civilized fashion? Do I need to build the Radeon driver into X 
(i.e. is the module load process stripping the symbol data)?

2) Does anybody have any pointers on this? For example, what routine 
fills in the save structure, since clearly that is where the barf is 
occurring?

3) Am I the only one who's ever seen this?

Additional information:
System is a PIII-800 running RH7.2 with 2.4.18 with pre-empt and XFS.
Card is a Radeon 7500
I've seen this both with the binaries on XFree and with my own builds 
from today's CVS from DRI.

They should be documented in the driver manpage, unfortunately the
radeon driver doesn't have one yet. (Help would be appreciated there,
hint, hint)

The config file generated by XFree86 -configure (usually
/root/XF86Config.new) should also contain a list of all driver supported
options, but the ati driver used to always put the options for the
atimisc driver there, don't know if this has been fixed in the meantime.

They should be documented in the driver manpage, unfortunately the
radeon driver doesn't have one yet. (Help would be appreciated there,
hint, hint)

The config file generated by XFree86 -configure (usually
/root/XF86Config.new) should also contain a list of all driver supported
options, but the ati driver used to always put the options for the
atimisc driver there, don't know if this has been fixed in the meantime.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

... well, for the 80x25 text console anyway when enabling TV out with
atitvout.

I have spent the better part of yesterday afternoon to come up with a
modeline that would display my screen to the TV and got as far as having
a screen with proper vsync, i.e. the lines didn't run through, stayed at
the places they were. AFAICS the hsync isn't working, because the
individual lines are "too short" and each one is offset in relation to
the preceding line.

I got these best results with NTSC modes even though my TV is really a
PAL one (that only happens to display NTSC as well if I guess
correctly). This seems consistent with the text console showing properly
as it's got 60Hz vsync also.

Now my maybe uninformed idea is, should I get hold of a modeline with
the same parameters as the 80x25@60Hz text console, I should get a valid
picture on the TV. I tried to get the necessary information to do this
yesterday but to no avail, so: Does anyone know a modeline that
resembles the text console? Or pursuing another direction: I know that
there's some Windows tool which tells you the modeline for the currently
set graphics mode (I don't know its URL at the moment, does anyone
else?), can anyone with Windows run it when the TV out is working?

Ah yes, other details: Red Hat Linux 7.3, packaged XFree86-4.2.0-8,
atitvout-0.2b

TIA,
Nils

The digital imaging systems that I have been linking to
provide raw 12 and 14 bit grey scale, this is then processed
to provide contrast enhancement so that medical inserts can
easily be seen even with low dosage X-ray monitoring. The
advantage is that only one ADC/DAC pair is required. Colour
is added to the processed image, when a drop to 8 bit can be
accepted. 

The x-ray systems had to be very high resolution 12 bit
before acceptable as a replacement to film in a number of
situations.

Sorry about the typo.  If you are working in medical you must also take
a look at  http://www.rsna.org/IHE/tf/ihe_tf_index.shtml

In particular, it is becoming a market necessary to comply with the
Consistent Presentation of Images (CPI) profile.  At present it only
applies to greyscale images.  Calibrating color monitor presentation to
comply with the greyscale standard makes a significant improvement to
the quality of a color presentation.  The further work on color space
calibration remains in committee.  This came up very briefly at last
weeks DICOM WG-6 meeting, mostly as a question regarding when was the
color standard going to be ready, with a response of "Don't know".  One
of the issues is the weakness of the scientific literature regarding the
diagnostic requirement for color consistency.  

The minimum realistic requirement for medical work is a high quality
monitor and a 10-bit DAC.  This lets you adjust the output LUT so that
you can comply with the display standard while using 8-bit data.
Assuming that there is compliance with the CPI profile, you can degrade
10-bit to 8-bit image data with a minimum loss of utility.

There are a number of vendors for medical quality displays.  These are
all quite expensive because they provide both 10-bit input and 12+bit
DAC controls so that they can both calibrate the system to comply with
the display standard and convey 10-bit image data.  They also
incorporate the very high luminance required to achieve 10-bit
viewability.  Unfortunately from an XFree perspective, most of the
medical vendors will not disclose the programming information for the
display controllers.

The actual requirement for resolution depends on the imaging modality
and the purpose of viewing.  For many purposes, an 8-bit display that
meets the display standard will be sufficient.  For other purposes it
will not.  I would never consider doing general radiographic diagnosis
of a chest with anything under 10-bit.  I would never consider doing it
in without controlled ambient lighting and the very high brightness of a
radiology oriented monitor.  These are the norm in any reading room. But
for ultrasound an 8-bit display with calibration and proper lighting
should suffice.  

There is also a big difference between diagnosis and other uses.

Further, just a warning about safety regulations.  The FDA regulates
medical devices under the Safe Medical Device Act.  You might be an
unwitting manufacturer. The definitions of device and manufacturer are
very broad. So check whether these safety laws apply to you. It is a
very serious crime to ship a medical device without a serious effort to
comply with the laws. It is a far less serious crime to make mistakes in
compliance. The website at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/overview.html is a
good starting point.  FDA regulations include efficacy rules, and
questions about necessary display quality might be an efficacy question.

I found the correct link at http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2001/01_14PU.PDF 

Thank you for the information. As I'm working on medical viewers people often ask me 
how many gray scales are needed.
Some people even doubt that more than 8 Bit (256) gray scales are necessary.
But typical radiological images often come with 10 Bit (1024) gray scales.
If you have a display and a video card that can display distinguishable 1024 grays 
that would be invaluable.

BTW I have read that Matrox's Parhelia supports "Gigacolor" with 10 bit per color 
channel. And Martox claims that you can view over 1 billion colors (it was "über eine 
Milliarde" in German, that's one billion in American English, isn't it?).

And Sun's XVR 1000 has a 30 bit color deep frame buffer, but that's for Sparcs only.

My investigations in OpenGL have revealed that there is a graphics format that 
supports 10 bit per color channel and 2 bit for the alpha channel, that is 32 bit 
altogether. So I don't know whether that can be used for the framebuffer and how 
drivers could support that.

[Xpert]Compaq Presario 2800

2002-06-23 Thread info @ saudiabm


Hi all,

I have tried to install Redhat Linux 7.2 and  7.3 w/ XFree86 4.2 onto my
Compaq Presario 2800 laptop. During the installation, I got no problem
with the screen, but after the installation, from the graphical login
screen and onwards, the screen got screwed up. There are vertical bars
cutting up the icons, fronts, and dialog boxes. My Presario 2800 uses
ATI Radeon M7 card.

I have browse thru several newsgroup, but of no help. Can anyone please
help?

Thanks,


By the way , someone tell me this solution but I don't think this is the
really solution :


I have an ASUS laptop with a different video card, However, I have 
faced a similar problem. What happens is that, probably, anaconda (RH 
installer) uses a generic SVGA server during installation.

I have solved it by using this generic SVGA server from Xfree 3.3.6 
instead of the XFree86 4.2 driver. Sometimes (in my case, e.g.) the 
driver that comes with version 4.2 is worst than the generic SVGA 
driver. I use RH 7.3 as well.

My video is silicon motion and there is a driver, named 
¨siliconmotion¨, that comes with XFree86 4.2. However, it doesn't work. 
What I do is to use the generic SVGA driver that is also included in v. 
4.2 through a driver of v. 3.3.6. This may be a suggestion for you.

You may have to change the driver. I have sent the steps I used (and 
explained them in case you're new to Linux). Use them at your own risk.

1. Check to where link /etc/X11/X points. If it is:

X -> ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86

than you're really using the v.4.2. Probably that's you're case. 
Than:

2. Check if you have packages:

XFree86-SVGA3.3.6-44
XFree86-compat-modules3.3.6-44

in User Interface/X Hardware Support. If not, install them. This 
will install the old generic SVGA driver. I have checked in XFree86 
site (http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status6.html#6) that it works with 
your card.

3. Check if you have:

/etc/X11/XF86Config
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

4. The first file relates to the use of the SVGA server. This was most 
probably generated by anaconda (type: head /etc/X11/XF86Config). Edit 
this file now (vi, kedit etc). In the section ¨screen¨ you need to have 
this driver:

Section "Screen"
 Driver  "svga"<= 
 Device  "Silicon Motion Lynx (generic)"
 Monitor "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1024x768"
 DefaultColorDepth 16
 Subsection "Display"
 Depth   16
 Modes   "1024x768"
 ViewPort0 0
 EndSubsection
EndSection

*Verify other aspects as keyboard, mouse and monitor configuration. 
Compare with what is set in the XF86Config-4 file (this is the file 
used by v. 4.2). Probably, you'll find that XF86Config file has the 
configurations you have given at installation time.

5. As root:

$ cd /etc/X11
$ mv X X~
$ ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA X
$ cd /usr/X11R6/bin
$ mv X X~
$ ln -s XF86_SVGA X

6. That should do. In your desktop press Ctrl + Alt + BackSpace to 
restart X server. If everything went fine, you're now using the SVGA 
server.

... well, for the 80x25 text console anyway when enabling TV out with
atitvout.

I have spent the better part of yesterday afternoon to come up with a
modeline that would display my screen to the TV and got as far as having
a screen with proper vsync, i.e. the lines didn't run through, stayed at
the places they were. AFAICS the hsync isn't working, because the
individual lines are "too short" and each one is offset in relation to
the preceding line.

I got these best results with NTSC modes even though my TV is really a
PAL one (that only happens to display NTSC as well if I guess
correctly). This seems consistent with the text console showing properly
as it's got 60Hz vsync also.

Now my maybe uninformed idea is, should I get hold of a modeline with
the same parameters as the 80x25@60Hz text console, I should get a valid
picture on the TV. I tried to get the necessary information to do this
yesterday but to no avail, so: Does anyone know a modeline that
resembles the text console? Or pursuing another direction: I know that
there's some Windows tool which tells you the modeline for the currently
set graphics mode (I don't know its URL at the moment, does anyone
else?), can anyone with Windows run it when the TV out is working?

Ah yes, other details: Red Hat Linux 7.3, packaged XFree86-4.2.0-8,
atitvout-0.2b

TIA,
Nils

Yes it is.  There is scientific work on the eye-brain vision system and
one of the results is a clear answer yes.  At this level of detail you
must also be precise about the meaning of the word "distinguish".  I've
experienced several definitions of it:

 1) Able to differentiate two halves of a split circle contrast target
  on a neutral background.
 2) Able to correctly identify the polarity of a 3x3 checkboard target.  I.e., 
 correctly identify the center square as darker or lighter.
 3) Able to correctly locate a contour line at a "flat spot" in an image.

The tests I worked with were done in grey and blue (because those are
what radiology works in).  When alert and wearing glasses my vision
quits somewhere around 1500-2000 levels.  In the semi-random sample of
several thousand field service engineers we found none that were below
300 levels.  Most were 500 or better in the mid-greys.

The luminance (the kind in cd/m^2) of image and environment are key
parameters in defining the number of visible levels.  The key parameters
when the display covers the full field of view are the brightness of
"black" (which includes reflection of ambient lighting) and the
brightness of "white".  Typically lit ordinary CRT monitors are often in
a range where the eye is limited to under 256 levels.  As you mentioned,
constraining these 256 levels to be points of equal voltage to a monitor
further eliminates levels because these levels are not placed uniformly
in perceptual space.  

The natural CRT gamma curve is a fair approximation to the eye's
response, which is why CRTs have been successful.  It is not perfect.
Increasing the DAC resolution to 10-bits voltage puts sufficient
adjustment into the exact positioning of luminance levels so that all of
the roughly 256 visible levels can be displayed.  This is one of the
major reasons for the need for 10-bit video output resolution.  Note
that a 10-bit DAC is enough.  8-bit RGB pixel storage remains sufficient
because the purpose of the 10-bit DAC is presentation using the eye's
response curve rather than the CRT's gamma curve.

For specific examples of how this can be used, see  
http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2001.html/01_14PU.PDF  or Barten's book
Contrast Sensitivity of the Human Eye and Its Effects on Image Quality

Then follow the references to track down other major researchers on this
topic.

Thanks for trying :) Perhaps we can try pushing the value beyond the
spec? Or is there possibly something in the modeline that could be
tweaked?

I'm just trying to help brainstorm. Before I installed linux on this
machine windows 2000 had a perfect 1400x1050 display, so its possible,
somehow.

Thanks for all your effort.

I don't think so, current CVS should though.
