X Error of failed request: BadAccess
by Zoltan Szecsei 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Hi Ppl, Please can someone point me to a resource I can use to get help on this issue. I have a (oldish) raster & vector graphics product that I have used successfully up until SuSE SLES8 but on upgrading to SuSE 9.1, I get the errors mentioned below - but only when trying to display a tiff image - the vector side of the package works fine. TIA, Zoltan X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_ShmPutImage) Serial number of failed request: 194 Current serial number in output stream: 195

Xorg 6.8.1 and the query command

22 Oct '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all.. I do not know if this is specific to xorg, becuase I just learned about it after the switch... here's what's happening.. While at school, on my laptop using wireless. I did a 'X :2 -query XXX.XXX.usf.edu' It came up with the solaras login with no problems. At home on my wireless network (W/ linksys router) I do the same thing and get just a x windows gray screen and it goes off to never never land. I friend of mine says he had the same problem, but when he connected his laptop directly to his cable connection it worked.. Any ideas .. If needed let me know what log/config parts to send and I will..

No image on second head
by Joerg Bruehe 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hi all, I am still fighting with setting up a dual-head installation. As I only got an image that looked "noisy" on the second head (DVI) of my nVidia FX 5200 card, I now installed a Matrox Mileenium G200 SD as a second card, connected my TFT to its VGA (only) output, and configured this (manually). When I now do a "startx -- -layout DualHead", the first screen comes up normally. On the new screen, everything stays blank / black, but its OSD tells a valid resolution: 1280x1024(a)60.2 Before the "startx" and after exiting it (on the first screen), the OSD (on the second)says "no signal". My questions: 1) Is there any configuration file (other than "/etc/X11/XF86Config") that controls for which screens a desktop is started ? 2) Any info about these messages from the X startup log: Symbol drmGetInterruptFromBusID from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmCtlInstHandler from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmCtlUninstHandler from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is unresolved! Could this be the reason, and where should they be resolved from? I run SuSE 8.2 out-of-the box, with a recent Yast online update. In that test installation I started FVWM only, no KDE. Configuration with "sax2" failed, as the X server it started did not produce a resolution which was acceptable to my 15" TFT (1024x768@60 or fewer pixels). using "xf86cfg" did not help either, although its interface (showing both cards and monitors) looked promising. I attach my X configuration file. The X startup log is too large to pass the list mailer daemon. Regards and thanks, Jörg -- Joerg Bruehe mailto:joerg.bruehe@web.de

OpenGLOverlay
by Claus Olesen 17 Oct '04

17 Oct '04

I installed the latest of SuSE's ATI fglrx driver (v3.14.1) on my fully YOU updated SuSE 9.1 box with ATI 9600. I also got a camcorder, shot some video, used Kino to import and compress and mplayer to play it. Kino and mplayer are the latest from Packman. With the XVideo extension enabled ("VideoOverlay" "on" in XF86Config) some of the video is blurry particularly along vertical lines as on tall buildings. With OpenGL instead ("OpenGLOverlay" "on" in XF86Config) the problem disappears and CPU usage does not go up much - maybe 5-10%. I think http://www.inb.uni-luebeck.de/~boehme/xvideo_sync.html is about the same problem but the suggested solution is involved. Does anyone know what the drawbacks are to using "OpenGLOverlay"? None of the XF86Config's that I've seen on the web have this option enabled.

cannot start remote X-application after update to Xfree86 4.4.0
by Alexander Beck-Ratzka 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hello list, because I've had problems to get my X running on my new PC (it is a DELL...), I have updated my XFree86 to version 4.4.0 recently. However, my problem wasn't solved by this update, but by an BIOS update from DELL. Now everything seems to work fine.... Today I tried to start an X application from a remote Linux computer, after (of course) setting the DISPLAY variable correctly. The X applcation (simply an xterm) didn't come up; instead I got the error message: ######################################cut here##################################### Xlib: connection to "10.56.79.185:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 10.56.79.185:0 ######################################cut here##################################### What is the reason for this error, and what must I do to avoid it? I assume that I forgot something after the update. Thank's in advance. Alexander P.S. I am running SuSE Linux 8.2

ATI fglrx driver: Kernel Oops/ X server crashes when using DRI
by Lenz Grimmer 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am trying to enable the ATI "fglrx" driver on my IBM Thinkpad T42 Laptop, which uses an "ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]" chip. X.org 6.8.1 works OK using the "radeon" driver module. Some installed package versions: kernel-default-2.6.8-20041012113024 kernel-source-2.6.8-20041012113024 km_fglrx-3.14.1-0.1 fglrx-3.14.1-0.1 xorg-x11-6.8.1-7 (this is on a SUSE 9.2b3 system) I first tried the driver directly from the ATI web site, but it gave me the same results as the one available from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/ATI/suse91/fglrx/3.14.1/ which I tried afterwards. I followed the instructions given in the README from the directory above. Compiling and loading the fglrx.ko module works fine, apart from the following compile warnings (probably harmless): [SNIP] /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c: In function `__ke_block_all_signals': /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:812: warning: passing arg 1 of `block_all_signals' from incompatible pointer type /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c: In function `__ke_request_irq': /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:1903: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c: At top level: /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:2519: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [SNIP] The X server actually starts up, using the fglrx X driver module.

Suse 9.2, X.org and Xinerama
by Ross Miller 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hello, Has anybody tried to use Xinerama with Suse 9.2 yet? I've been unsuccessful and may have to go back to 9.1. Here's the whole story: Hardware is a P4 with an Intel motherboard. There's an Intel graphics chipset on the motherboard (on the AGP bus) and 2 PCI cards with nVidia Geforce 2 MX chips. With Suse 9.1 (using XFree86), this was working great. I did the install of 9.2 in graphical mode and it made it most of the way through, but after it rebooted, my computer came up into a blank screen. After much fussing and fuming I pulled out the 2 PCI video cards and rebooted. With only the onboard Intel video, the graphical installer came up and the install finished. At this point, I shut down, put the two PCI cards back in and booted back up (into runlevel 3). After logging in, I tried to run sax2 to configure everything. sax2 started, the main screen when blank, screen 2 came out of power-saving mode (the led went from amber to green) but remained blank and screen 3 remained in power-saving mode. At this point everything hung - I had to hit the reset button. Upon rebooting and logging back in, I tried "X -configure" hoping to get something working. No luck: blank screens, monitor 3 still in power-saving mode and this time a continuous and very annoying beep from the computer's internal speaker. Had to hit reset again. I've recompiled X.org from CVS and tried that and I had the same problems. I also tried compiling XFree86 from CVS and installed that - still have the same problems. In summary, I've been completely unsuccessful in getting multiple monitors working on Suse 9.2, but the fact that I had exactly the same problem with X.org and XFree86 is puzzling. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks, -Ross

Just trying to guess obviously, but did you tried to modprobe the relevant dri module for the intel card? And, if that locks up, to modprobe agpgart module to see if it likes the hardware?

can't connect to Xvnc with the realvnc viewer
by Jim Faulkner 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hello, I can only view VNC sessions under Suse 9.1 with the tightvnc distribution's vncviewer program. When I attempt to connect to a Suse 9.1 VNC server with RealVNC's vncviewer program, it just hangs and never asks for a password. VNC is supposed to be a very portable application, that allows any valid client to connect to the server. Is Suse going to produce an update for tightvnc that fixes this problem? thanks, Jim Faulkner

nVidia FX 5200: VGA + DVI: general questions to prepare for dual-heading
by Joerg Bruehe 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hi all! I am searching for some general info regarding the general use of the VGA and DVI ports on my graphics card (chip: nVidia FX 5200 on AGP). My machine has SuSE 8.2 installed (I could upgrade if needed), I use XFree86-4.3.0-120, but I have no special "nv" or "nVidia" driver installed yet (according to "rpm -qa"). The machine's purpose is software development + office applications, so I need no 3D stuff. I have a Philips 15" TFT (1024x768@60) connected to the VGA port, that runs fine. I now bought a BenQ 19" TFT (intended: 1280x1024@60 with DVI interface) and connected it to the card's DVI port. When the PC boots, both screens display the BIOS + boot messages. I have the penguin logo at boot, so AIUI this means I am using framebuffer? As soon as the X server starts, the DVI-connected screen goes blank. As I have not changed the X configuration yet, this is to be expected? I intend to operate both screens simultaneously. I do not need overlapping windows, and I probably also can do without reassigning windows between the two screens. Can I do that with the "standard" X software as delivered by SuSE, or do I need to install the software from nVidia's homepage? (I have a preference to remain SuSE-only, as I expect this will cause less versioning problems. I repeat: I do not need 3D!) The dual-heading Howto I found describes only the case of using separate cards - is there something available for dual-heading from single card? (I have another card, a Matrox G200 for PCI, but would prefer doing without it, as I assume with a single card it is easier to fall back onto any single screen if one fails or is needed at other places - correct?) Thank you for all hints, Joerg Bruehe -- Joerg Bruehe mailto:joerg.bruehe@web.de

I was surprised by rpm not showing it. Not sure if it was part of SuSE 8.2 already, but current SuSE releases include a neat tool named "pin" - it will grep the package lists and descriptions for a certain string and will list all matching RPM packages.

Does "nv" support dual heading?
by Joerg Bruehe 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hi all, it seems my original question did not use the proper buzzwords, so let me put this question separate: Does the "nv" driver coming with XFree86 support dual heading, or do I need the "nVidia" driver for this? (I do _not_ need 3D, this is for software development + OpenOffice.) In case it matters: SuSE 8.2, XFree86-4.3.0-120, card with GeForce FX 5200.

Problems with new monitor / signal error
by dr.andreas.schenk＠gmx.net 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hi, last week I bought a new monitor and no matter how I configure it, I get signal errors. I have SuSE linux 9.0 with KDE 3.1.4 / xfree86 4.3.0.1-21. My monitor is an EIZO L985EX with 1600x1200 Pixels @ 60 Hz (DVI). My graphics card is Matrox G450-23c3, if that matters. The card has only one DVI-connector, which I connected to the monitor with the DVI-cable that came with the monitor. First of all, the monitor was not recognized by SaX2. I configured it as -->LCD with 1600x1200@60Hz. In addition I set the frequencies according to the manual. Under extensions I set the screen size (to 440 mm x 330 mm). As Modeline-Algorithm CheckDesktopGeometry was set by default, as well as DPMS was selected by default. I didn't change that at first. Later I added the following section to /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/api/data/cdb/ Monitors: #============================================== # L985EX #---------------------------------------------- EIZO:L985EX { DDC=ENC1674 Hsync=31-76 Vsync=59-61 } Somewhere linux told me, that my monitor has the DDC-ID ENC1674, so I thought, the section should be right. However, it didn't change a thing. (Unfortunately, I do not find again, where linux told me the DDC-ID!?) The problem: With these settings, linux booted and KDE came up. I could work. However, when I shut down linux, or logged of -- so that the shutdown messages where expected to show up on the screen or KDE was expected to show the login screen again for someone else to log in, respectively, the monitor displayed the error message (on the screen) signal error fD 52.5 MHz fH 39.0 kHz fV 48.4 Hz the last value was in red, so this was really the value the monitor complained about (according to the manual). In some cases the system stayed with this message, so I had to switch it off. In other cases, after a while the monitor displayed the message signal check fH 0.0 kHz fV 0.0 Hz Sometimes -- but only sometimes and with the login screen -- it helps to move the mouse or hit the keyboard. In other cases I had to switch the system off... Then I changed the Modeline-Algorithm to UseFrameBufferTiming and set the boot-option vga=317 to vga=31B in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. I think this is still wrong. Anyway, it didn't change a thing. What configuration do I have to change? P.S. What about the DPMS setting? As far as I understand the manual of the monitor it is for analog input. For digital input I should set it to DMPM, but I don't know, how. Since my monitor accepts both, digital and analog input, how can I make shure, that it gets digital input from the graphics card and not analog input? Another P.S. In SaX2 I find a button to read a driver from the floppy-disk of the monitor manutacturer. Unfortunately I only got a CD, no floppy-disk. SaX2 cannot access the CD. Is there anything on the CD, that will help? What and how can I access it from SaX2? (Or what do I have to do manually?) Thanks in advance for any help. Andreas.
