Re: [Xpert]mouse configuration
Run a `hdparm /dev/hda` and see if your drive is in DMA mode. If it is not set it in DMA mode otherwise disk access will eat far more cycles than needed. Also, check to make sure your machine isn't constantly swapping to disk. Memory is cheap. schu ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]switching mice on laptop.
Quick question: I have a laptop and a docking station and 2 mice. The internal one (undocked) is a ps2 pointer, and the external one is a microsoft usb optical (docked). I would like to make X pick which ever one is needed so I that I can avoid edits to my XF86Config file when I use my laptop offsite. This worked fine on my machine when I had redhat 7.3 but quit working when I upgraded to redhat 8.0. I currently have both mice configured in my XF86Config file and switch between them by uncommenting and commenting syntax: Section ServerLayout Identifier Anaconda Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 # USB mouse InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer # ps2 mouse #InputDeviceMouse1 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol IMPS/2 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Emulate3Buttons no EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocol PS/2 Option Device /dev/psaux Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 Option Emulate3Buttons yes EndSection Anyone know how I can automate this?

[Xpert]Trident CyberBladeXP on external Monitor
Hello All, I have one of those trident cyberblade XP cards in my toshiba 4600 laptop and am having trouble getting it to work on an external monitor at 1280x1024@75hz. The monitor works fine at 1024x768@85hz (same as the lcd resolution) but at 1280x1024@75hz I get a nasty flicker. It seems to work at 1280x1024@60hz and 1600x1200@60hz but those refresh rates hurt my eyes. I am using the driver from: http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ On a 19 viewsonic A90f monitor. Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot the flicker (horizontal fuzziness). Thanks, schu ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
[Xpert]can't use 1280x1024 on a Cyber/Blade XP
List, I have a toshiba Satellite pro 4600 laptop with a Cyber/BladeXP video chipset. I am using Alan's latest drivers and now have an accelerated display (which is great, thanks) but I can't use 1280x1024 @75hz. When I try to use that mode the text gets a horizontal flicker/fuzziness. I know that the hardware can do it because when I reboot to windows I can select that mode and it works fine. I confirmed that the mode is the same because my 19 Viewsonic monitor reports the same horizontal and vertical frequency in both os's. I should note that 1024x768 @75, 1280x1024 @60hz, and even 1600x1200 @60hz works fine. I am using redhat 7.3 and I used Xconfigurator to generate my config file then edited it to fix some pointer problems. Xconfigurator detected my Viewsonic A90f monitor and configured X with the following syntax: Section Monitor Identifier A90f VendorName Unknown ModelName Unknown HorizSync 30 - 86 VertRefresh 50 - 150 Option dpms EndSection I should also note that the LCD is maxed out at 1024x768 but I am using the laptop in a docing station. Anyone have any idea how I could make this work? Is it a driver problems or a config problem? Thanks, schu ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

Sounds to me like your app doesn't work in depth 16. It might work in depth 24, but maybe it only works in depth 8. But even in depth 8, it probably won't be able to get 128 colors due to the render extension eating up the default map. Try depth 24.
