That is theoretically possible now. You could take an app such as the ddcprobe which ships with some versions of redhat, and turn it into a daemon which rechecks the monitor by DDC every few minutes (this may cause the screen to blink, which the user might not like) and then use XFree86-VidModeExtension to change the video timings on the fly. From this week you could even use the RandR extension to change the virtual desktop size if appropriate. I don't know whether it would be possible for the server to monitor the monitor connection and notice a change without the screen blink of a DDC probe. -- Dr. Andrew C.

I would like to know if a Matrox G450 X2 MMS with Dual DVI would be supported with XFree 4.2 on FreeBSD stable. The G450 chipset is supported according to the supported hardware list. The G450 X2 seems to incorporate two separate chipsets on the board, according to the description and Matrox claims support for Linux. So I'm confident, but Support for Linux could also mean a Matrox provided binary module. I have two Flatpanels and I am looking for a Dual-Head/Xinerama solution under FreeBSD/XFree 4.2. Just to plug in two graphics boards seems to be a problem, since DVI and PCI seem to be mutual exclusive. Thanks for any help or advice.

[Xpert]colour mask values question
Hi..
Could anybody enlighten me on the proper use and understanding of the
values {red,green,blue}_mask in the Visual and XImage structures. I
assumed that X would convert between fx. RGB and BGR color ordering from
image to server by setting these masks according but they seem to make
absolutely no difference (also I cannot find where in the source this
conversion would take place either).
I assume I have misunderstood something, since this is not exactly an
unused corner of X!

[Xpert]6 head xinerama
Thats what I now have. A 6 monitor machine, with 3 Matrox G450 cards, 1 which is AGP. It was so nice to see digital photographs fill a wall like that :-) Pixmap operations work on all of them. The monitors are all 19". Most of them are monosync, so I had a hell of a time adjusting modelines. I get the impression it is quite unusual with such a large xinerama. Text also seem to work mostly, but not the background of text. Anyway, I have some problems, which seem to be due to the driver, which is the "mga" driver from XFree86. I use KDE, under SuSE 7.3, but installed XFree 4.2.0 from scratch over this. As mentioned, pixmap operations work fine on all screens. However, there are some pointerproblems, where the pointer leaves trails of small white squares, on 2 screens, when moved too fast. Menus, windowborders, and X11perf all look horrible, cut to shreads, chaotically striped. So, there is obviously something wrong somewhere, and thats why I write to you good people. First card, G450 AGP Both screens work perfectly. Second card, G450 PCI Stuff get shredded, as described above, on both screens. Third card, G450 PCI Same as above, but pointer also leaves trails, on both screens. I have tried changing bits per pixel, with no effect on the bugs at all. I enclose my XF86Config file below.

this is in essence what you can see on the linux kernel mailing list (and many others): gee, i have a great idea for this new solution to your existing module XYZ. i want to replace it with ABC. if i do, will you take it? the answer is that 'carte blanche' does not exist. the proof is in the code. you write the code. you submit the code. the code is peer reviewed. at the end of the day, you get an answer. > Look making the change to XML is a straitforward > project its enough work that doing it before there is > agreement to accept it makes no sense.

I'll assume you've read my cursory comment about this in xfree86.cf (around line 487). But that's not the whole story. While I agree the i810 driver is not particularly relevent to this architecture, I do feel it is important that this driver at least compile cleanly (which it does for me). This, not so much as a measure of its portability, but as an aid in eventually exorcising all architecture and OS concerns from the driver API/ABI. Besides, I see no complaint here about the other drivers that are in the same boat (e.g. newport, i740, etc).

What I've seen of XML doesn't have that quality. For better, or for worse, XML looks like HTML, and many/most system managers have the ability to deal with it; I for one find XF86Config files as inscrutable as any XML I've seen. And XML can be validated and edited mechanically, two major features. This being said, I'd like most of the effort to go toward making the file unnecessary entirely; if something has to remain, then maybe it would make sense to use XML for it.

Neither does the kernel. Usually these key kombinations involve the Fn-key. Some hardware in the keyboard controller detects this and issues a system management interrupt. Therefore neither X nor the kernel get scheduled before the fatal code has been executed. I have never tried this but it may be possible to tweak the kernel so that you get a chance to intercept the system management interrupt. As far as I know there is support for such things in ACPI.

[Xpert]-cvs not starting in the correct mode
I built a server from cvs yesterday to play with the new RandR extension, and found a problem. Or at least I think it's a problem - it could be intentional. I'm using a laptop with a 1024x768 display (R128 driver, 16-bit color). The relevant section of the Screen section of XF86Config-4 looks like: Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Virtual 1280 1024 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection For some reason, the server starts in 1024x768 mode, not 1280x1024 with a 1024x768 viewable area, as I would expect (and as 4.2.0 does with the same XF86Config-4 file). This makes it impossible to use RandR as I'd like to, since if X is started with no monitor attached, it can't get above 1024x768 even when a monitor is attached. It seems strange that the server is ignoring the Virtual line, and starting in 1024x768 mode, even when that mode isn't present on the Modes line (I also noticed that RandR offers a large list of modes which aren't on the Modes line either; presumably that is intentional). Am I missing something, or has something broken since 4.2.0? I can provide a log file if anyone's interested.

Re: [Xpert]Radeon 7500 Problem
Thanks for responding. I think I did what you suggested. I commented out the line in my config file: Load "vl4" in the Modules section. I also switched the driver from "radeon" to "ati" in the two device sections. Still no luck. Of course, I'm not really sure if that is considered using the stock XFree86 driver. Any more suggestions?

I never understood why these were in the XImage structures.
The Visual masks indicate how a pixel breaks up into RGB components.
This is necessary for you to know when filling in XImage data.
But the point of the masks in the XImage structure escape me
since there is no conversion going on during PutImage.

[Xpert]xviddetect
As part of my job, I install Linux on a lot of different machines. I've just moved to Debian Woody, which uses version 4 of XFree86, not version 3 (like Debian Potato). One of the tools I used regularly was xviddetect, to try and work out what video hardware was on the machine. This doesn't appear to come in the version 4 server - is there something similar? I know xf86cfg autodetects hardware, but I'd prefer to get the server right the first time, rather than selecting the vga server, then fixing the server after the install has finished. -- Savanna | Free as in 'free speech', GnuPG Pub Key E40FAE08 | not 'free beer'. msg09196/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[Xpert]XFree86 4.2.1 & Nvidia driver and TNT2 M64 card
Hello everybody, Some of you will remember me from such shows as "Dave and the TNT2 go head to dual-head", and "When Good Video Cards Go Bad, Roman Numeral 3! (hosted by Sheriff John Burnell)". Let me bring you my latest thrilling installment in the ongoing saga... First of all I thought I had a problem with dual head. I purchased a GeForce2 Pro AGP video card and a TNT2 M64 PCI video card, in the hope of getting them working in a dual head configuration. I have had almost complete success except for one VERY annoying problem... With the NVIDIA drivers (not the X nv driver), and in fact every single version of them that I've tried in the last 6 months, I have had this same problem. I can lock up XFree86 really really well simply by enabling opaque window moving and dragging an xterm around a bit. After a few seconds, random coloured rectangles appear randomly and then BANG, XFree86 process hits 99% and sits there, forever. Remote ssh and kill -9 brings it all down again and I can restart it with 'xinit' (albeit from the remote session - the virtual console is "out of frequency range" for some reason after this). Doesn't matter on the window manager - I've tried fluxbox, openbox, blackbox, pwm, sawfish... So, I disable opaque window moving and I can live in peace for perhaps a day at a time... But, there are further problems - running a browser like mozilla or konqueror on the tnt2 head causes a lockup now and again when scrolling. Emacs can cause the lockup at seemingly random times (like when I unminimised it today and it tried to redraw itself). Once upon a time I did an strace on it and discovered that the X server was locked up in some sort of timer interrupt loop... nobody could help me there. A few observations: 1. The screen corruption ONLY EVER occurs on the TNT2 card. 2. I went out and bought a brand new TNT2 M64 card, and the exact same thing happens (in fact more frequently). 3. Both TNT2 cards work perfectly on another computer (XP1600+) 4. Both TNT2 cards work flawlessly in Windows 2000 5. Both TNT2 cards work flawlessly with the XFree86 'nv' driver (but no 3d accel. of course). 6. *** BOTH TNT2 cards work appallingly when they are the ONLY card installed in the system and I try and use the NVIDIA driver in X. Not only do I get all the problems I had before with the dual head setup, but they are about 10x worse (more frequent, funkier corruption) without the GeForce2 installed and active *** 7. Occasionally, maybe 1 time in 4, the lockup is a total system freeze. Can't even ping the box. It's dead. I've tried running the X debug server in a hope to attach gdb to it but it refuses to load the nvidia driver because it's statically built. How do I get around this? It will only start with the 'nv' driver and that one works fine anyway. So what is going on here? I've tried different installations of linux (debian sid), many different NVIDIA driver versions, nv & utahglx (works fine once I got it working in X4.2), each TNT2 card on it's own (nasty), dual head (not so nasty but a lockup a day on average). I'm just about ready to throw the entire system away and start again, this time with ATI cards or even Matrox, but I can't be sure it's a hardware problem! The cards both work fine on their own or with the GeForce2 when using the 'nv' driver but absolutely appallingly with the NVIDIA driver. I've contacted nvidia several times and got nothing out of them. I've tried every nvidia forum I can fin [Well, what do you know? It just locked up then too! And all I was doing was typing the word 'find'. I got as far as the 'n' when my solid white cursor only drew half of itself. Thank goodness for 'screen'] d and every website I can find. I am at a complete loss as to where to go now with this. Can someone *please* spend a little time with me over email thinking this through and working towards a solution? It all points at the nvidia driver really doesn't it??? There must be someone out there who knows enough about it and is willing to think a little about it. I would be eternally greatful (well, for a few weeks anyway :) I'm willing to run debuggers on it constantly if need be, but I don't know where to start. I don't believe it - it just locked up again when I was deleting a chunk of text in this email with line-cut (ctrl-K). It seems intensive screen redraws cause the problem, like scrolling, maximising, minimising, etc. Hardware: AMD Athlon 1.2 Thunderbird 256 megs SDRAM GeForce2 Pro 64MB AGP (Gigabyte) TNT2 M64 (Pine) and TNT2 M64 (Auriga), both 32MB PCI Some other stuff but the problem occurs without ANY extra peripherals or cards attached. Linux kernel 2.4.19 (have had problem with 2.4.18, 2.4.17, 2.4.16...) XFree86 4.2.1 (also had problem with 4.2.0 and 4.1.x) I can post my XF86Config-4 file if anyone wants it, but I know what I'm doing there I think (except with the nvidia driver options perhaps).

[Xpert]XFree86 on Compaq Evo N1000c laptops
Hi. Any assistance with the following would be appreciated. I have installed XFree86 version 4.2.0 on four Compaq Evo N1000c laptops, (ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chip) , using Solaris8 x86 release 7/01. I have not created an XF86Config file - the system is using the default /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig file. The laptops are connected to Compaq TFT8030 flat panel screens, and are set to display at 1280 x 1024 resolution. A mapping program written in Java is the main application. I have four problems with which I would appreciate any advice: 1. When switching from the internal laptop screen to the external screen, (using the FN+F4 keys) the image which appears on the external screen is slightly corrupted. (Horizontal lines through the image) I tried 'capturing' the screen with a graphics package, but the resultant .gif is fine! - this makes me suspect the external LCD screen. Output freq's are shown as V 43Hz, H 46.4KHz. Note: If the laptop is booted with the lid down, the problem does not appear and the frequencies are 63.9KHz & 60Hz - the problem is only seen after raising the lid and then switching the video. This leads me to suspect that the LCD screen is not handling the 43Hz & 46KHz rates. Should I specify a more limited range in a new XF86Config file? 2. When set to display on both internal and external screens simultaneously, the external screen image is not corrupted, however the image overlaps the edges of the screen, even though the on-screen-display shows 1280 x 1024. Selection of different monitor types or adjustment of the LCD screen clock setting do not fix this. Output freq's in this case are 63.9KHz 60Hz. The laptop screen is fine at this time. 3. Periodic 'freezes' of the mouse pointer - especially after rewrites of the screen. 4. Mode changes from 1280 x 1024 to the text mode for Solaris single-user text mode cause the screen to become unreadable. Is this the 'known' bug with this version of XF86 and ATI cards?
