[Xpert]2 mice -> 2 pointer ?!?

I'm using both a SpaceMouse _and_ a regular mouse for my user interface which already introduces the notion of distint foci: Spacemouse for crane interactive movement, 2D-Mouse for viewpoint manipulation at the same time. Extension could be, to have two (or more) users manipulate two (or more) distinct cranes at the same time, which easily leads to any kind of gaming application. Of course, giving several input devices to _one_ user makes handling really tricky. Piano players might have an advantage here... ;-) regards, Chris ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]font ghosting with geforce4mx
We are seeing a strange problem with a bunch of new GeForce4 MX420-based cards on Linux/x86, both with the XFree86 driver and with NVIDIA's binary-only driver. While the overall display appearance is fine, text characters in xterms or the xdm/kdm login window have a distinct shadow to their right. We have tried different resolutions (the intended one being 1280x1024) and refresh rates, and both the stock 4.2.0 nv_drv.o and one from a mid-october cvs snapshot to no avail. The same monitor (21" viewsonic) apparently works fine when connected to a Matrox card (driven by 4.2.0 with basically the same XF86Config settings). Is there anything else i could try (Option "NoAccel" did not seem to help) ?

[Xpert]3d accelleration support
I'll admit that I don't pay super close attention, but it seems to me that there's a growing trend among the top 3d chipset makers to provide their own proprietary accellerated drivers for XFree86. ATI and NVidia are the two examples I can think of, and it seems like they're the best 3d chipset makers. I'm still using an older 3dfx Voodoo3 because I know that the full programming specs are available and I can get open source accellerated drivers for it. If I were to replace this card with another 3d card, what would be a safe chipset to select if I want to stick with open source drivers?

Hello, Are there any known problems with the Trident Blade3D chipset? I have a workstation running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE and XFree86 4.2.0. The graphic card is an AGP Trident Blade3D based card. The system sporadically freezes when I try to work under XFree86 making it almost impossible to run XFree86. The system almost certainly freezes if I try to shutdown XFree86 or if I switch from/to text console several times. I tried to replace the Trident Blade3D based graphic card with a GeForce2 MX based one and all problems were gone.

Thank you ATI! - was [Xpert]ATI driver that supports "Powered byATI cards is out!
Thank you ATI. I recently ordered a Dell Inspiron Laptop and upgraded the video card from the default nVidia card to the ATI Radeon 9000 - a US$130 upgrade. The sole reason for the upgrade was that ATI has been such a faithful supporter of the XFree86 project. I was very pleased that after installing the RPM released by ATI - which was very easy to do - I was able to play "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" on my laptop (mission critical app). Not only did it play smoothly, but it played smoothly at 1600x1200 resolution (beautiful). Of course Wolfenstein is not why I ordered the laptop - but it sure is nice to get all the performance from the machine that I paid money for. And it does perform beautifully!

They're so well supported it makes me laugh everytime a friend buys something else. All basic functions are supported by Free drivers. In addition, Matrox develops GPL drivers and a GPL version of their Windows PowerDesk software. While their 3D support isn't up to the bleeding edge of the NV/ATI curve, my aging G400 card keeps up more than well enough. If you want to drive a digital LCD or decode DVDs in hardware you'll need a proprietary chunk of code linked into your driver - due to Macrovision support. They have a beta module out for Parhelia, haven't heard anything about it. Seeing as they support most everything back to the G200 cards though, I'd say quality support could be counted on. -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Pope has a Water Cannon.

[Xpert]i815 drawing glitches and broken xvideo
I have long had some problems with xf86 on my Acer Travelmate 610 with an i815em chipset. Recently I installed xf86 compiled from cvs in hope of resolving the problems. The two problems I experience are graphics glitches and broken xvideo. Fortunately, GL is now working fine. "Graphics glitches" refers to blocks in widget backgrounds or window decorations that are rendered in the wrong color or with portions copied from other parts of the display. I have also long had a problem getting anything but a blue screen from an xvideo display. The recent cvs ordinarily shows only a blue screen for me, but it will show mis-scaled and mis-aligned video in full-screen mode. To see screenshots and configuration information, you can go to http://www.math.columbia.edu/~jensen/linux/xf86/ I would really like to resolve these problems, and this might benefit many others too. If you have any suggestions or fixes, please let me know. Thanks for any help, Leif ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]Non functional DRI
Hi, I have been struggling with it for almost a week now. I have compiled the kernel over and over again, changed the X Config file numerous times but still am not getting the expected results. To cut a long story short, the frame rate in tuxracer is pathetic. Actually in the log files, DRI and AGPart are reported to be enabled, but still glxinfo returns Direct Rendering: NO and I guess that is why the frame rates are so bad. Also the display in TUXRACER is garbled. The new kernel which I compiled after applying the suggested ( suggested by Thomas who has written drivers for my vid card ) code for the kernel frame buffer, seems to work fine except for a couple of modules which are not related to video display ( supermount and sound ). I am attaching all the relevant files. System Details: K7SEM mobo AMD Duron 800 MHz 128 MB RAM (32 MB shared vid mem) SiS730S chipset Onboard sound and Video Base Installation: Mandrake 9.0 Compiled Kernel 2.4.19 1024x768 @ 24bpp Please advice.

[Xpert]Trident CyberBlade/i1 & MSI 6368
I have 5 MSI 6368 Motherboards with onboard Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev 106) chips. I can run XFree 3.3.6 on them without problems, but XFree 4.1, XFree 4.2, and XFree 4-CVS (from a few weeks ago) all fail. Tried Linux 2.4.18 and 2.5.46 (same results) When I start X, it seems to start fine, the screen blinks (very breefly), and the monitor indicates it's in 1152x864 mode (the mode I specified in XF86Config). However, then things go silent. No reaction to the Contr-Alt-F1 key combination (switch to linux VC), and the screen stays black. (no pointer visable eighter). Even stranger: a few months back, I bought the same MSI 6368 motherboard, same CyberBlade/i1 rev 106 chip on it, and it runs Xfree 4.2 flawlessly. (I have booted them all as diskless stations, mounting excactly the same directories with the same XFree 4.2 distribution on them, so I doubt the cause could be my configuration) For those interested, I've put the XFree86.0.log file at http://iliana.komputilo.org/trident-cvs and my XF86Config file: http://iliana.komputilo.org/XF86Config-trident0 output of `cat /proc/pci': http://iliana.komputilo.org/trident-proc Is there anything I can do to test/help `real' programers making XFree CVS run on them?

Hello All
I am writeing an applications using Intrinsics, and can't
figure out how to extract the KeySym from a key event routine
once the routine is executed. I.e. I have:
XtActionsRecedit_actions[] = {
. . .
. . .
. . .
{"KeyEventEditor" , KeyEventEditor}
};
String edit_trans =
. . .
. . .
. . .
:KeyEventEditor()";
After a key event "KeyEventEditor" executes correctly and then
I want to find out what key had been pressed and act accordingly.
"KeySym XtGetActionKeysym(event, modifiers_return)"
looks like a likely candidate but I can't figure out what or
where "event" comes from or how to point to it. The only information
that I have is:
event: Specifies the event pointer passed to the
action procedure by the Intrinsics.
and a grep through xc/programs just shows that nobody uses it.
Suggestions or pointers would be welcome.
Bruce

Whether it's appropriate for the xpert list to partipcate in the social pressure aspect of DNSBLs (RBL is a trademark of MAPS BTW), or not, I will not comment, but one of the reasons for building (some at least) DNSBLs is to exact a social pressure on the owner of the listed host. If multiple BLs are listing a single host and that host is a regular mail exchanger for a given domain, there must be good reason for the multiple listings. Is the owner of said host doing all that he should/could be to deal with the spam problem? Or perhaps the sending IP is a "subscriber" IP of some sort. They should be using their ISP assigned mail exchanger. Or maybe the sending IP has an open proxy on it, etc. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. b. -- Brian J.

[Xpert]i815 drawing glitches and broken xvideo
I have long had some problems with xf86 on my Acer Travelmate 610 with an i815em chipset. I installed xf86 compiled from cvs from 2002-11-26 in hope of resolving the problems, but there are still some issues. The two problems I experience are graphics glitches and broken xvideo. Fortunately, GL is now working fine. "Graphics glitches" refers to blocks in widget backgrounds or window decorations that are rendered in the wrong color or with portions copied from other parts of the display. I have also long had a problem getting anything but a blue screen from an xvideo display. The recent cvs ordinarily shows only a blue screen for me, but it will show mis-scaled and mis-aligned video in full-screen mode. To see screenshots and configuration information, you can go to http://www.math.columbia.edu/~jensen/linux/xf86/ I would really like to resolve these problems, and this might benefit many others too. If you have any suggestions or fixes, please let me know. Thanks for any help, Leif ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]Can You help me
Hello! The reason why I write to You is that I have a big problem with Xwindows. It cannot be restarted, and even when it is started it shows very poor resolution , something about 640x480. I think the problem is my graphic card INTEL(R) 82845G/GL which cannot be recognized because it is not in the list of suported cards. I run RedHat Linux 7.3 and I am pretty new with the Linux so I don't know how to solve this problem. I tried something with XF86Config file, but something has gone wrong so I can't start Xwindows at all. Can you help me? My configuration: Dell PC with Intel Pentium IV 1,7GHz Monitor Dell E771p INTEL(R) 82845G/GL graphic card IntelliMouse Thank You in advance!! Zarko Lazovic Podgorica, Montenegro, Yugoslavia
[Xpert]Multiple instances of X.
Hi! I have patched two X servers one with custom usb keyboard driver(http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/) and no VT handling and one will vanilla keyboard driver. However when I start the second instance of X it muck with the first graphic card in the initialization by calling hw/xfree86/common/xf86pciBus.c:pciIoAccessDisable() for the first device even when I have put the BusID option in the device section. Maybe hw/xfree86/common/xf86pciBus.c:FindPCIVideoInfo() shouldn't collect all avalible graphic cards if a specific BusID is set in the device section. I have changed this to only pick the searched graphic card, as it stop X from calling pciIOAccessDisable() when it is checking other graphiccards. It work Flawless now. I using XFree86 4.2.1.

On the one I'm familiar with (Microtouch), placing two fingers on the screen gives a touch coordinate approximately midway between the two (but depending somewhat on the relative pressure applied to each finger). So on a touchscreen keyboard, any modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt etc) have to be locking, so you touch the modifier, then the key.

[Xpert]Re: i815 drawing glitches and broken xvideo
I have been trying to debug some problems with xf86 on my i815-based laptop. After some searches I experimented with a patch to the i815_driver.c file concerning the OVRACT register. To test xvideo, a background consisting of the magic overlay blue color is displayed over the whole screen while a video is played using xvideo. The result is that coherent, quality video is displayed, but it is displaced to the left of its correct position by 542 pixels or so. Without the experimental patch, mis-aligned and mis-scaled video is displayed only in full-screen mode. I would very much like some advice on how to solve these video problems. If someone can suggest the proper fix or a way to tune the position where xvideo displays, I would be very grateful. This testing has been done using the laptop LCD, and I will try to perform some tests using the laptop's video out in the next few days.

[Xpert]xserver running as root
The xserver (or Xwrapper) is suid root. This is necessary to access certain privileged devices. Now I have heard that, in conformance with good security practices, the xserver quickly gives up its root privileges as soon as it has opened those devices, by changing the effective user back to the real user. However, when I run a "ps -eo euser,ruser,cmd" the effective user still appears to be root. Is this required behaviour? Is it not possible to run the xserver as an ordinary user (under Linux)?
