[Xpert]Hot corners
Some screensavers in the Win / Mac world let you set "hot corners" and "cold
corners", which respectively immediately activate the screen saver and
inhibit it.
I'm working on a program that lets you do this with X11. It almost
works. The problem is that it only notices if the corner belongs to the root
window -- if another window is covering the root, my program doesn't get
notified of the PointerMotion event.
Since it's so tiny, i've attached it. I was wondering if anyone could take a
quick look. I imagine it would be a simple fix; but i've never programmed in
X before, and i'm sort of figuring it out as i go along by ripping apart
other programs.
Thanks

[Xpert]Xfree86 4.2 on Thinkpad 560 (cyber9382)
Hi, i have some problem with installing xfree86 on my thinkpad 560 (2640-FJE) ,p133, 40ram 1.4gb hd 12.1 inch TFT, a Trident TGUI 9660 series with 1024kb ram is detected during the configuration processes, however my monitor config can't be detected and i cannot find a correct setting for it, when i test the configuration created by Xconfigurator, i can only see a partial screen on the left hand side and just keep flickering and jumping when i test X server. Would some expert give me some advice? I have tried serveral Option such as Noaccel, cybershadow, etc, still can't get it work.

[Xpert]X_PolyText & X_ImageText
Hi All Is there anyone studied the X request about X_PolyText and X_ImageText? As you know XDrawString/XDrawImageString may generate these requests. And X server may draw a background rectangle for string showing. Now the problem is how can I get the background rectangle only from the request? The request doesn't supply the width and height. From documents, they said I could use XQueryTextExtens to get the width and height, which need string infomation and font I couldn't get from the request. Anyone could help me?

[Xpert]Ant success with PCI/DRI???
Hi, I've tried downloading the drm package for rage 128 from the DRI homepage, upgrading to kernel 2.4.19 with the patch for 2.4.20-pre5 (which claims to integrate drm for x 4.2). The drm package won't install because of undefined reference to cmpxchg. The "integrated" version from kernel.org sort of works but is so incredibly slow that programs timeout rather than execute. There appear to be other problems as well, like an unflushed frame buffer. I'm running a 1.3 GHz Athlon, if that makes a difference. I can NOT get DRI to work for ATI 128 Xpert (PCI); don't have a working AGP slot. Thanks in advance ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I tried that too, failed, and was told that the current XFree driver does not support dual head on that card, because of the lack of documentation. Did you try to make it work single headed ?

It's known problem on some Toshiba laptops. See archives on

There is a patch available for the kernel.
$ diff keyboard.c keyboard.c.orig
91,92d90
< static unsigned char prev_scancode;
<
225,235c223
< /*put_queue(scancode | up_flag); */
< /* The following 'if' is a workaround for hardware

< unsigned char next_scancode = scancode|up_flag;

put_queue(scancode | up_flag);
It's been posted on Toshiba Linux User list. Check out that list, it's
archived somewhere (a Google search will give you the correct place)
Note that I didn't try this patch since I have no problem myself and I
don't know what version of the kernel it applies (although that specific
part of the code in the kernel should be fairly stable, so it should
apply on most 2.4.x versions)
Cheers,

[Xpert]freely-licensed DRI documentation wanted
[dri-devel folks: please copy debian-x on replies as I am not subscribed to dri-devel] Hi guys, I am the XFree86 package maintainer for the Debian Project, and one of my users pointed out a problem to me: the README.DRI and README.DRIcomp documentation files are not licensed such that anyone can change them. As DRI evolves, this will increasingly become a hindrance. Documentation has enough problems getting out of date as it is without bad licensing making it a copyright infringement to try and fix that. The Debian Project does distribute materials like this that fail our "Free Software Guidelines"[1], but we have to do in a portion of our archives that is avowedly unofficial, so if I wanted to keep these files as part of the XFree86 Debian package I would have to move all of XFree86 out of Debian "main" (the official distribution), which simply isn't practical. Likewise, the XFree86 Project has its own licensing rules, and while they are in some ways more flexible than the Debian Project when it comes to making exceptions, I'm sure they would prefer DRI docs that are licensed consistently with the rest of the XFree86 distribution. If the MIT/X11 license is good enough for the Xlib manual, it should be good enough for DRI documentation as well. While I can't speak for the XFree86 Project on this issue, Debian will continue to have this need even if XFree86 does not. I mention the XFree86 Project's licensing policy because while licenses like the GNU GPL and GNU FDL (as long as there are no Invariant Sections or Cover Texts) are acceptable to the Debian Project, they are not to XFree86, and in making this call for freely licensed documentation, I am seeking a solution that will unquestionably be satisfactory to both projects from a licensing perspective. I've been in touch with Jens Owen and Brian Paul at Tungsten Graphics, and I was advised to put out this call for volunteers. They have been trying to get a response from what used to be VA Linux Systems for several months, and none has been forthcoming. It therefore seems unlikely that we'll get the existing documents relicensed. So, is anyone up to the task? [1] http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines -- G.
