Re: [Xpert]Endless loop in pciSetBusAccess
Dr Andrew C Aitchison writes: I've just been looking at a colleague's Dell Latitude C610, using a Radeon Mobility 6 LY. With Friday's CVS built X got stuck with a blank screen during startup, hogging the CPU. I tracked the problem down to pciSetBusAccess, where it got stuck in a loop. This patch allows the server to detect and abort the loop, allowing the server to start, although switching back to the console shows corrupt text fonts (I see other reports of console problems with this chip, so that may or may not be related). I've attached the lspci -nv output in case that contributed to the confusing pci information. The two devices 2:1:0 and 2:1:1 seem to be cardbus bridges with improperly configured secondary bus numbers. I have seen this problem before. I will have a look how we can fix this.

Re: [Xpert]dual head on a Radeon VE
As far as getting the retail version working - I've had the dual-output retail VE working in dualhead forever (well, since before 4.2.0 anyway - I was using a rather late CVS). You just need to specify two device sections for the same card, but one needs (IIRC, my dualhead box is a few thousand miles away just now) 'screen 0' and the other 'screen 1' in the device section. Make sure to specify the BusID, especially if another card resides in the same box (nVidia nForce mobos, Tyan Thunders with onboard Rage Pro video...) If you switch off Xinerama, HW-accelerated OpenGL should work too. --- Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joe Krahn wrote: Geoffrey wrote: My assumption is that this patch deals with the fact the oem card has two digital outputs?

FONTENC_ENCODINGS_DIRECTORY defaults to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir Mhhh, yes... that was my problem... Some comments: - Is it neccesary that the encodings.dir created by mkfontdir uses the full path to the encodings ? Using a path relative to the parent dir of encodings.dir looks sufficient for me (encodings.dir on Solaris uses relative paths) and it would allow to copy or move the config to a different location without problems ... - The code does not complain if there is an entry in encodings.dir but the matching file cannot be found for some reason. I suggest two things here: 1. The Xserver should print a error message (like Solaris Xsun). 2. Matching fonts should only be open-able if the encoding file referenced by encodings.dir can be processed without problems (e.g. the font subsystem should refuse to open the font if there is an entry in encodings.dir but it cannot be processed for some reason) - Many fonts from Solaris 2.8 are still not recognised as 16bit fonts (such as the chinese 18030, thai and others; I can try to make a list on demand...) ... ;-( Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /O /==\ O\ MPEG specialist, CJAVASunUnix programmer (;O/ \/ \O;) TEL +49 641 99-41370 FAX +49 641 99-41359 ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
