Re: [Xpert]Mouse problem with Matrox G400
No scrolling yet.The last button is working as middle button, but there is no scrolling.Also I haven't noticed yet the weird problem with the mouse pointer.The only strange thing is that whenever I restart the Xserver the mouse at the beginning is a little crazy but after two seconds it works just fine.

For me the last button acts as another middle button which can be convenient since I find it easy to scroll by mistake while pressing the wheel. -- Dr. Andrew C.

Re: [Xpert]Adding extensions

I can check if it supported by doing glXQueryExtensionsString. I am using XFree86 4.2.0-8 which does not export GLX_ARB_get_proc_address.

[Xpert]Xserver Extension
Hi all: I want to know if i can add an extension that would capture all the Requests a particular XClient sends to the Xserver. I am not looking to add new Requests, just look at the existing requests that are sent to the Xserver. Will such a situation qualify for an Extension. Thanks, Preetham. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]non_driver side of X.
Is there any documentation for the xfree86 source code that is not the driver side? I have read the DESIGN and XAA.HOWTO and this leaves me with a bunch of questions about the rest of xf86. Is there someplace where I can find answers to questions like these: Why is xfree86 in general designed the way it is? What kinds of things were considered when it was redisigned from xf863? What parts of the source tree are part of the DIX, DDX and otherparts (would this be non device dependant modules, or are they part of the DIX?) A rational for the utterly huge structure _Screen, and it's huge parts. Or at least an explanation of what parts of them are used by what. I mean if I understand this right it seems like a bit of overkill to pass a ScreenPtr to ScreenInit in the drivers. What are the global variables employed and where are the defined, and why are they the way they are? What does the xf86 loader do different than ldopen? It seems like it resolves symbols in the loaded module to access global variables in the rest of the server. Where is the part of the xf86 that handles implementing the X Protocol and how is this implemented? (I really have no understanding of this part of xf86 because I havn't found any docs or picked my way that far through int main() ) Why is it that header files included by drivers, also include some of the X headers from xc/include/ (specifically Xfuncproto.h and Xmd.h) AFAIK the drivers shouldn't know boo about X. There job is to interface the hardware with XFree86. Where is the code that processes XF86Config files? I have looked but I think it is hiding from me. How does the shared memory architecture of xf86 work? Or is this part handled by Xlib? How much of talking X does xf86 do? Is that mostly handled by Xlib? Or is it implemented as part of the xf86 code? These questions are kind of broad in scope but I think they would greatly help me in understanding xf86.

[Xpert]xf86 source documentation
I have written a script that produces a serchable catalog of the entire xfree86 source. And lists all of the types that are used by xf86. It is located at josie.atypedigital.com/xc/. For example, if you were to search for _Screen it would return a list of all declareation of type _Screen in the source, there is only one. And it would take you to it's declaration. Where apon you could click on the types of it's members and it would take you to a list of the declations of that particular type. Very usefull for getting a general understanding of the types. Or simply looking up what the structure of a particular struct is, because if you don't know what header it is actually in, that can be a half hour nightmare. If this looks interesting to the appropriate people (who I assume are on this list?) mabie it could go on the documentation list on xfree86.org. I know it would have helped me if it was there. Is there something of an online code repository of xf86 that has highlighting and crosslinking. (so inside a function declaration, where a function is called, you can click the function and it will take you to it's declaration?) Or would this be something of interest to writing. Because if there is not this is what I am contemplating seting up. I know there are several different packages that can do this (any one have a sugestion on which one to use?)

[Xpert]Re: i845
The solution is to run Xconfigurator, and then manually choose the driver to be VESA. It works (not very well, but OK-ish). Choose 1MB RAM and 8 bit color at 1024 res. WFM but YMMV depending on other factors I guess. If you want my XFConfig-4 file, mail me (privately). A general warning: Please don't buy the Dell Optiplex GX260 series - it has loads of Linux compatibility issues - almost as if they were trying to break things deliberately :-(. To list: 1) Video is a mess. 2) IDE DMA does not work - so HD is *super-slow*. If you try hdparm -d1, it will tell you that it is unable to make the change. 3) Resource collision issues with Kernel 2.4.18 (and maybe above as well - I haven't tried (yet)) - Biswa.
