[Xpert] Make World fails building pswrap with BuildServersOnly

2003-01-04 Thread xpert
I am trying to build a 4.2.1 release of XFree86 (XDirectFB actually)
and getting an error when I try to configure it to build the Xserver
only.

I have BuildServersOnly defined, but when I try to make World, I get
a failure trying to build pswrap:

$ make World
...
cd ./config/pswrap  make pswrap DEFINES=
make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/XFree86-4.2.1/xc/config/pswrap'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `pswrap'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/XFree86-4.2.1/xc/config/pswrap'
make: *** [World] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/XFree86-4.2.1/xc'

The problem seems to be that the Makefile in xc has the following for
the World target:

World:
...
cd $(IMAKESRC)  $(MAKE) $(FLAGS) clean
$(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) Makefile.boot
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) VerifyOS
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) version.def
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) Makefiles
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) BOOTSTRAPSUBDIRS= clean
cd $(CONFIGSRC)/pswrap  $(MAKE) pswrap DEFINES=
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) includes
$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIGSRC)/util gccmakedep
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) depend
$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) $(WORLDOPTS) World
@echo 
@date
@echo 
@echo Full build of $(RELEASE) of the X Window System complete.
@echo 


Notice that make World directly specifies that pswrap be built
(cd $(CONFIGSRC)/pswrap  $(MAKE) pswrap DEFINES=).

However, the Imakefile in config (the parent directory to pswrap) has
the following in it:

#if BuildDPSLibrary
PSWRAPDIR = pswrap
#endif
SUBDIRS = cf $(BOOTSTRAPSUBDIRS) util $(PSWRAPDIR)

which causes pswrap to be ignored (because it is only in SUBDIRS
conditional on BuildDPSLibrary) when making Makefiles, etc. if
BuildDPSLibrary is false.  BuildDPSLibrary is false because in
xc/config/cf/X11.tmpl there is the following:

#define BuildDPSLibraries !BuildServersOnly

So it seems that pswrap is mutually exclusive of building a server
only, but the toplevel make World target wants to build it,
unconditionally.

So I pressume I must be doing something wrong.  I am sure I am not the
first person to want to build a BuildServersOnly configuruation.  Is
make World the wrong target to call to simply build (a) server(s)?

[Xpert] Radeon QD (7200?) display corruption

2003-01-03 Thread xpert
I am experiencing some display corruption, or rather, improper
programming of a Radeon QD here on my dual-head setup.  I have taken a
photograph of the display so you can see for yourself at:

[Xpert]How do I make my colors _perfect_?

2002-12-17 Thread xpert
I need to have accurate color representation on my monitor.  Of course
monitors and video cards differ in this area, so how do I know a color
being presented to me on the screen is true to the color of the source?

Is there any way to tune the Xserver to display colors accurately on
a given monitor?

Thanx,

If multiple BLs are listing a single host and that host is a regular

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

assigned mail exchanger.  Or maybe the sending IP has an open proxy
on it, etc.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

[Xpert]Modifying the mouse code?

2002-10-31 Thread ajay-xpert
Background:
I have a Linux box (and a Windoze box) attached to a KVM switch.
When I switch away from the Linux box and come back, the mouse
(an MS Intellimouse, IMPS2) goes haywire. Switching from the graphical
X mode to a console mode (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and back fixes the problem.
It looks like the mouse appears to have gone out of sync or something.

The problem:
I'd like to fix this problem, but I can't for the life of me figure
out where exactly is the mouse being read and mouse events generated?
I've tried to modify the following files
programs/Xserver/hw/kdrive/linux/mouse.c
programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/mouse/mouse.c
to print debugging information, and nothing gets printed.
Note: I'm using sources from RedHat's src RPM (I could use the original
XFree86 sources, but then some of the symbols don't get resolved in the
DSOs). 
Obviously I'm doing something wrong here. So.. can someone point out
where I can muck around with the mouse code?

Thanks,

Ajay

[Xpert]smooth mouse with PS/2 but erratic with IMPS/2 -- why?

2002-10-08 Thread xpert

Hello,

I have searched and scoured lists and webpages for hours now after
doing some searching to discover why all of a sudden (after a
motherboard swap out) my mouse pointer jumps around erratically.  I
have not changed any configuration of any sort, just the motherboard
(which of course my ps/2 mouse is plugged into).

If I use the PS/2 protcol, the mouse cursor moves nice and smooth on
the screen.  If I want to use IMPS/2 (for the scroll wheel) it jumps
around erratically.  Why is this?  What is the difference?  Why should
the changing of my motherboard have this effect?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanx,
b.

Re: [Xpert]TV Out - Recommendations?

 Hi all,

Hello,

 I am putting together a set top box running
 linux for movies / web usage

Join the (big) crowd.

 and would
 like to hear what TV Out cards you have seen
 best results from under Linux.

Well, this is a contentious subject.  The reason being is that most
(all?) of the producers of TV-Out capable hardware are not providing
(all of) the programming specs on how to do TV-Out with their cards.

My conspiricy theory on this is that the producers of such hardware
want also want to be able to write DVD-playing software, as a sell for
their hardware.  In order to (manufacture and) sell these things in
the US, these producers are being hog-tied by the Copyright
Consortium (spearheaded by such organizations as the MPAA, RIAA,
etc.) into licensing the DVD-decrypto-magic.  I suspect that such a
license carries a clause that the hardware producer will not do
anything to allow the easy copying of content and providing
programming specs for these TV-Out capable cards does just that.

 I have tried TV out using a low end Geforce 4
 with the nvidia binary drivers but there are some
 strange effects when watching movies through
 the TV Out (in scenes where there is a lot of
 action there is a split in the middle of the screen
 running horizontally, the upper half of the screen
 updates just before the bottom half and its very
 annoying!)

[ note the use of the word frame here is loose and not meant to
differentiate between frames and fields ]

It's called tearing.  The reason is that the software/hardware is
not waiting until the vsync to update what is being displayed on the
television.  If the software/hardware waits until a frame is fully
displayed to the TV before changing it you do not see this effect.  If
it changes the frame while it is half-drawn to the TV, you end up
getting part of one frame and part of the following frame.

For the record, I am using a Matrox G400.  They are hard to come by
these days as they are no longer in production, and to the best of my
knowlege, Matrox are not producing drivers, nor publishing specs for
any of their newer cards.  They are also a bit expensive to just
display a video signal on a TV.

 If you are using GATOS ati.2 binaries make sure that you use drm-kernel

The drm module in my kernel is indeed from gatos, but for some reason,
it was not (being) loaded.  Once I manually modprobed radeon
everything worked fine.

Is the appropriate drm module supposed to get auto-loaded in any
manner or is it up to the user (or his distribution) to know that he
needs to load it?  I am using a devfs environment.

Additionally, I have the following in my XF86Config-4 file:

Load dri
Load glx

But I am still not getting direct rendering on my Radeon QD PCI.
Does direct rendering work on PCI cards or only AGP cards?

Seems to be working OK here, minus achieving direct rendering that is.

 AFAIK, by default GATOS drm modules have Radeon PCIGART

Is pcigart required for direct rendering?  Are there any plans to

If I use the PS/2 protcol, the mouse cursor moves nice and smooth on
the screen.  If I want to use IMPS/2 (for the scroll wheel) it jumps
around erratically.  Why is this?  What is the difference?  Why should
the changing of my motherboard have this effect?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanx,
b.

 Hi Brian,

Hi Pat,

 I have had this problem for sometime myself and have been unable to
 track down an answer to it.  I had a Logitech wheel mouse

Yup, I have a Logitech optical wheel mouse.

 that
 worked fine at one time thru the PS/2 port with imps/2 activated in
 the XF86config file,

Yup.

 but at some point during my normal progressive
 updates to my preferred SuSE distro and XFree86 files, it quit
 working and I could not use imps/2 with any mouse plugged into the
 PS/2 port.

I didn't even do a software upgrade.  I simply changed motherboards.
Even kept the same processor, memory, add-in cards, etc.  My only
guess is that some PS/2 ports are better than others.

 I finally solved the problem by plugging the mouse into
 the USB port and all is well again.

That is what I have done.  But I have 3 systems connected through a
PS/2 KVM (Belkin Omni 4 port).  But before anyone blames the KVM, I
have plugged the mouses I have tried directly into the PS/2 port.

 Both the Logitech and the IBM
 mouse I now use would go either way, but by going with USB, I was
 able to rid the mouse of that large ps/2 adapter.

Yup, me too.  But ultimately, I would like to go back to using the
PS/2 port as it's what my KVM uses.

[Xpert]Appearance in X...

2002-06-07 Thread Xpert

Can anyone shed any light on why KDE looks so bad compared to Windows? The KDE 
fonts are really rough and difficult to read, particularly when they are  
small. I don't know that it is just just the lack of True Type fonts 
(although this is probably a contributing factor) as I have installed a whole 
bunch of Windows TTFs and it has made little difference.

I have tried using True Type fonts and have checked the 
Anti-Aliasing for Fonts box in the KDE Control Centre, but they are still 
quite fuzzy compared to those in Windows.

I am trying to get Red Hat 7.3 installed at my work to replace our network of 
aging Win95 PCs, but I just _know_ that as soon as the staff see the terrible 
fonts that they will reject it out of hand.

I am evaluating Galeon, OpenOffice 1.0 and Evolution as that is all most of 
our office will need, but the appearance compared to IE, MS Office and 
Outlook is terrible.

Can anyone offer any information/advice/website that will help me to get them 
a Windows-quality display?

Brad
