Thanks soo much far your reply. We will try pcitweak and let you know
the result.

It's is memory usage in the testxv app that you're speaking
of, correct?  There isn't really a deeper level.  One thing I
notice is that testxv.c is requesting a completion event (the True),
but yet the app is never retrieving them so they are probably piling
up in the client.  Change that True to False to see if that changes
anything.

Also you may want to try my Xv test apps instead.  Those
are xvtest.tar.gz, suzi.tar.gz and mpeg2play.tar.gz at 
http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/

Yes. We can find this in the source.

On the other hand, when I comment out the call

   XvShmPutImage(dpy, xv_port, window, gc, yuv_image,
 0, 0, yuv_image->width, yuv_image->height,
 0, 0, _w, _h, True);

in testxv.c, the memory leak disappears. Does this
imply memory leakage locates at deeper level ?

2002-07-30 Thread Markus Gutschke 

Seems as if the X server did not recognize the graphics chip on your card. What 
kind of card do you have? What does "lspci -v" output? Which "Driver" did you 
specify in the "Device" section of your "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" file? What is 
the contents of your "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" file?

RE: [Xpert]Radeon 7200 & wheel mouse (SOLVED)

2002-07-30 Thread PatnMin 

Hi all,
 
Thanks for everyone's help though, because I fixed it this evening!! I went thru the 
mouse setup in my Yast2 control center and it chose the correct mouse this time, but I 
couldn't use it as imps/2.  I unplugged the mouse from the PS/2 port and put it in the 
USB port.  Ran the mouse setup again, it chose the Intelli/Wheel mouse (usb) and all 
was working correctly!  

Do you suppose there was a conflict with the PS/2 port or what?  Anyway, I have it 
working as a usb mouse now and am happy to have figured it out.  Thanks to everybody 
that replied!  I am also thinking if I had maybe used the "DEVICE"  "/dev/input/mouse" 
switch in XF86Config instead of "/dev/mouse" it might have worked as IMPS/2 also, but 
I didn't bother to try this after getting it to work as USB.

It is because the system BIOS hasn't assigned an I/O base address to the
adapter, presumably because it's not primary.

Workaround (for now):  use pcitweak to set the I/O base before starting X.
Or swap the motherboard.

Isn't that penalty for speed?

ps. After sending previous email I noticed that mplayer when using xv
on pre4.3.0 displays only half of screen of movie on whole
mplayer window. With 4.2.0 there is no such problem of course.
With -vo x11 there is no problem, too.

Such problems are usually caused by new compiler features.

That's because Xv no longer uses DMA unless you set Option "DMAForXV".

Thank you, I shall do that tomorrow.

It seems that i may have jumped the gun when I said my Zoom button was 
working.

If I ust Ctrl Alt F1 to switch to a console, and then hit the Zoom 
button, I get an error message

"X connection to localhost:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)."

and the X server dies.

I wasn't expecting my first X program to work 100%, but am I doing 
something fundamentally wrong? (I struggled to find any decent X 
programming resources on the web)

Turns out I /did/ overlook something!  Ah, the joys of early brain damage ;)

There are a couple X extensions intended for macro recording/playback and
regression testing purposes (mainly): XTrap, XTEST, RECORD.

XFree86 4.2.0 contains the docs for XTEST and RECORD but not for XTrap.

However, I couldn't find any demos or test code for XTEST and RECORD in it
but I did find xc/programs/xtrap/*, which contains many useful little
programs to use or to steal code from.  They do seem to be able to snoop
keyboard press/release events (among a ton of other things).

I don't get it. My G550 runs a DVI flatpanel just find without the HAL 
driver. Can someone please explain this?

I *still* cannot get both heads to work with the G550. If I load the 
HAL driver, neither screen gets a good signal -- they both come up 
with the little blue box saying "bad sync". If I don't load the HAL 
driver, I can get cloned screens, but the CRT gets a bad signal and 
looks wavy. I definitely cannot get Xinerama to work.

When I get home later today I'll put my X logs and config files on a 
web server somewhere.

But I'm giving up hope on the G550. If I can't get it working soon I'm 
gonna ditch it.

You can probably do something with either XSendEvent() or with

The mga binary drivers are only necessary for DVI support and certain
PowerDesk features. Other than that, the standard XFree86 supplied version
of the mga driver should work just fine in either single or dualhead modes.
Just wanted to clear up any misconceptions that the mga drivers are binary
only.

Re: [Xpert]Building small (disk space) Xwindows environment.

2002-07-30 Thread Carlos Dri 

Christian,

I've tried that mini howto days before. It built ok, and it also works fine 
(I built it with support for xdmcp also, for an ARM target), but I couldn't 
get the colors to work. I'm only getting 4 or 6 colors, in a very *cool* 
combination of green, blue, pink, black, etc.

I want to build kdrive for a really small system (2Mb of flash, 16Mb of ram, 
ARM based processor and a NIC). I know the video is working ok, because 
linux is configured with framebuffer 640x480 256 colors, and I tried it with 
microwindows with success. The idea is to use this tiny machine as an 
X-Terminal. It is working now, I'm running kde in an Athlon (the server), 
and it is working really cool (fast enough!), except for the ugly 
colors..

I've been looking at the source code, and make some modifications whatever I 
believed that had something to do with the colormap, but didn't have success 
(oscolor.c, kcmap.c, kcolor.c, fbcmap.c). Also tried something that Matthew 
post to this mailing list, but it didn't work.

I've also built it for an x86 target, tried it in the Athlon, and it worked 
exactly the same, with the same colors so I'm sure the problem is 
with the software, not the machine.

This was posted 3 or 4 times in this mailing list, but didn't get any hint 
that works yet (well... I really get only one hint). If someone can give 
me a starting point, that will be really appreciated.

Carlos.

latest ati.2 drivers with XFree86 Version 4.2.99.1 caused only:

Not loading .rodata.str1.32
Not loading .rodata.str1.1

Not loading .rodata.cst8

(no symbol name, strange) and I wasn't able to test them with XFree86 4.2.0
because I don't have 4.2.0 sources at this moment.

Also for example in radeon_dri.c from latest gatos cvs there is:

  ret = drmRadeonClear(info->drmFD,
 DRM_RADEON_BACK | DRM_RADEON_DEPTH,
 color, depth, color_mask, depth_mask,
 pSAREAPriv->boxes, pSAREAPriv->nbox);

but there is no definition of DRM_RADEON_BACK neither DRM_RADEON_DEPTH
in gatos (there is no definition in dri cvs, too). So question is
- where I can find latest/most complete dri cvs?

Anyway good news is that XFree86 4.2.99.1 from yesterday cvs (including kernel
DRM from 4.2.99.1) works fine - tried few programs that are using xv when drm
was loaded - no freezes. Quake3 works fine, too (well - almost fine, some weird,
problem is there - while playing little part of wall decoration was moving with
me instead staying on the wall, heh. Note that I didn't see this effect in 4.2.0).

There was other problem - some black dots on screen when using xv on 4.2.0
- now these are gone, too.

Great, now I'm waiting for 4.3.0 release :)

First, you need to determine the type of data your intercept routine
is receiving.  Hopefully, your prototype for the intercept routine
is something like:

static void
recordIntercept(XPointer closure, XRecordInterceptData *recData);

Now, if you look at the recData->category it will tell you whether
the intercepted data is from the X server, from a client, etc, etc
(check the X11/extensions/record.h and X11/extensions/recordstr.h
header files for details on what to look for in recData->category).

Once you know that, you know how to proceed.  I mean, if the data is
from the server, check the protocol book and see what the server can
send (events, etc.).  If the data is from a client, check the protocol
to see what the client can send.


So, for processing the server messages, you would extract the
information via something like:

xEvent *serverEvent = (xEvent *) recData->data;

While the processing of the client requests would require initial
casting like:

xReq *clientReq = (xReq *) recData->data;

Again, check the header files to see what the xEvent and xReq types
contain, and how to further extract useful data out of them. :-)

Definitely read the docs on RECORD extension before starting.


> And are there any good examples about RECORD extension?

At one point I discovered a test program for the RECORD extension,
but I seem to have misplaced it.  However, it wasn't very useful to
me, because by the time I found it, I already had everything mostly
working, and the things giving me problems were not explained in the
test program.

CF, but 32MB works great) if I don't want any X.  I've use the generic VGA X
server on a 64MB flash, works fine.

Now I know where to disable some of the fonts, I'll try that, and look into
mounting the font directory in some form of loopback on a compressed
filesystem.

I guess, what I really need is:
What parts of XFree86 4.2 do I need to leave ON.  I'll turn the rest OFF in
my config/cf files.  I just need it to actually build the X server without
complaining of undefined references, etc.  What do I need to leave ON to
make it work, what can I turn OFF?

Thanks again.

[Xpert]Dual Head + Fast 2D Graphics

2002-07-30 Thread Colin Law 

Hello,

Im looking at creating a dual headed system for use while developing an 
animation tool.
  Screen 1 for most of the development/coding work,
  Screen 2 for fullscreen playback of the animated sequences

Im looking for advice on a fast 2D graphics card (im not interested in 
3D) with good support under linux. I would also prefer that the video 
drivers were open source. Any suggestions or advice??

I would also be interested to hear from anyone with a similar set-up, 
what cards, configuration, problems etc you use/had.

Thanks for any help,
~Colin.
