XImages aren't RGB per se, they are pixel data that gets interpreted according to the visual. So if you're using them with a Window that has a TrueColor visual you'll want them to match the RGB masks for that visual. See the man page on XVisualInfo for determining the RGB masks associated with a visual. I see my first thoughts weren't all that wrong. Querying visuals, I get (among others): Visual 1: ID: 33 screen: 0 depth: 24 red mask: FF green mask: FF00 blue mask: FF colormap size: 256 bits per rgb: 8 According to xdpyinfo, the class is Truecolor. This looks like what I need to me. But reality disagrees. A fabricated image, with a red bar at the top, a green bar in the middle and a blue bar at the bottom, is displayed as a picture with the first three pixels blue, green and red pixel respectively, then repeated in the whole image: RRR rgbrgbrgbrgbrg RRR brgbrgbrgbrgbr GGG- gbrgbrgbrgbrgb GGG rgbrgbrgbrgbrg BBB brgbrgbrgbrgbr BBB gbrgbrgbrgbrgb This looks like packed information is interpreted as planed.

[Xpert]blitting RGB images?
Hi people, Is there any fast way to display RGB images ? I've been searching for a way to do this, in a non-accelerated way, but have been unsuccesfull in finding any. I have been playing with XPutImage, but I read somewhere XYPixmaps are BW, and ZPixmaps is planed RGB. There has to be some way of blitting a simple RGB image to a window, without the use of something like Qt or Gtk, hasn't there? (Main reason for not using Qt et al. is speed.) Thanks! Yuri PS. To me, this really sounds like the Simplest Question Of The Month. And if it is, somebody should really make this info easy to find! ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

IIRC XFree86 4.2.0's nv driver is able to do 1920x1440. You could also check out http://nvidia.netexplorer.org/ That project is about getting the binary NVIDIA driver going on FreeBSD.

The problem is, I don't like the nVidia binaries. And not because they're binaries. It seems that every time I compile a particular linux version. I have to recompile the kernel-dependent binary. The NVdriver is a (linux) kernel module. When you compile a different kernel, any modules you use have to be compiled for this new kernel. The NVdriver is no different. That's the way it works. RPM's make the binary installation less of a chore. But I don't have an RPM-based system. Wouldn't it be nice if the binaries were simple cp path-to-driver /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ affairs? I don't know what kind of a setup you've got, but I don't use RPMs either, and a simple # cd /usr/src/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2314/ # make does the trick for me. You could write a little script, that compares the kernel and nvdriver date. If the kernel is newer than the driver, let it run above commands. Put the script in your rc.local or /rc.d/init.d or whatever and it's done at boot. Problem solved. Greets, Yuri ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I've tried pulling out all the optional stuff (fifo_aggressive, the pci-burst/retry stuff, NoPM, you name it). I've got an AMD K6-2 at 400MHz. I must say I've been noticing a time shift in my PC's clock as well. It didn't bother me much, as the difference is not that big, over quite a long period of time (in my case, anyway). Therefore, I haven't sought to find the cause. My hardware differs a lot from yours, so if the X server is causing time loss, I wouldn't blame it on any of the drivers.
