X.Org 6.8.2 RC1 RPMs for SuSE 9.2 available
by Stefan Dirsch 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Hi The X.Org Foundation is currently preparing a second maintenance release for version 6.8 of their implementation of the X Window System. The code is presently in the beta testing phase. SUSE will prepare update packages for the latest SUSE Linux version as soon as this release (6.8.2) becomes available. In our efforts to work closely with the X.Org Foundation to make their software even better we would like to invite those users of SUSE Linux who are interested in the X Window System to participate in this beta test. This will give the beta version of 6.8.2 a wider exposure, more testing and allow our users to identify and report problems on their hardware early so they may be fixed for the release. To simplify testing I've built X.Org 6.8.2 RC1 RPMs for SuSE 9.2 and uploaded them for download to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/Xorg/Xorg-X11R6.8.2-RC1/ * Installation instructions can be found in the README (also in this directory). * In case something goes wrong and you need to revert to the original X.Org 6.8.1 RPMs for SuSE 9.2, simply remove the new RPMs with rpm -e <pkg-name> --nodeps and install the old ones from your DVD/CDs with rpm -Uhv <pkg-name> again (RPMs are in /suse/<arch> on the DVD/CD). A package list is in the README. * Notes for testers: Various drivers, modules and other infrastructure got significant updates and need to be thoroughly tested by the community, including: - "radeon" video driver - "nv" (nvidia) video driver - ATI Rage128 video driver - Postscript print driver - Mesa (OpenGL) update to release 6.2 - libXpm security update (CAN-2004-0914) ... and many many other things... * Feedback can be discussed on this list as we don't have an open Bugzilla. Please don't contact me directly or thru the regular SUSE feedback channel. I'll try to discuss the feedback on this list. Please note that there won't be any installation or advanced support for these test packages. Should you experience any problems please refer to the above instructions how to revert back to the version of X that has been shipped with SUSE Linux. Please also note that if you download and install a test version we strongly recommend to update to the released version of 6.8.2 once it becomes available.

Cannot open connection to window server
by Mark Brettin 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

I have a newbie question and I'm new to the list so excuse if this question has been posted before. I installed SuSE 9.2 on a HP Pavilion AMD64 laptop. I'm using this at work where I need to log into other (solaris) machines and run X applications (such as emacs and other inhouse apps). On one particular machine I can run these apps but on most other machines I get the following error message: XView warning: Cannot load font set '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package) XView warning: Unable to open default font set XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: 145.166.24.187:0 (Server package) The steps I take are: %xhost remote_machine %ssh -X -l user remote_machine %setenv DISPLAY myip:0 I had to remove the "-nolisten tcp" argument from the startx script. Anyway, am I missing a particular font set? If yes, where can I get the required font set? If no, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Mark

The reason is that your config file contains the line: Protocol "imps/2" In 9.2 (and 9.1 I suppose) this should either be Protocol "auto" or Protocol "ExplorerPS/2" I'm presently trying to find out why "auto" causes problems (It might on a 9.1 due to a small incompatibility with the emulated PS/2 handling by the kernel compared to the standard). > > > Also could you switch to a text console, log in as root, > > do 'cat /dev/input/mice' move the mouse a little bit and > > then (without moving the mouse) turn the weel? > > Do you see output while you turn the weel? > > > > Egbert. > > Yes, I see some output. I've put this output to the file mice.l (see > attachment), but I Don't know, if this really helps. I've just checked the > behaviour again. I Only get output, if I scroll down the wheel.

I would like to track down this problem: Could you please check the log file of the Xserver (on 9.2 it should be /var/log/Xorg.0.log) for a line like: (--) Mouse0: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"? If it contains something else than ExplorerPS/2 the mouse has gotten misdetected. Also could you switch to a text console, log in as root, do 'cat /dev/input/mice' move the mouse a little bit and then (without moving the mouse) turn the weel? Do you see output while you turn the weel? Egbert.

i915 driver on SuSE 9.1, using Intel 865G
by Forest Monsen 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Hello, It's time to try 3D acceleration on SuSE 9.1. I'm using an Intel 865G chip, and obtained the i915 driver from Intel's site at http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-010512.htm I've updated my system using YaST. I'm having plenty of trouble building the i915 driver on SuSE. When I run the install.sh script, I get: #### begin install.sh output #### make -f Makefile.linux DRM_MODULES=gdg.ko modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111.19-default/build SUBDIRS=`pwd` DRMSRCDIR=`pwd` modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.111.19-obj/i386/default' make -C ../../../linux-2.6.5-7.111.19 O=../linux-2.6.5-7.111.19-obj/i386/default modules grep: /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111.19-default/build/include/linux/mm.h: No such file or directory grep: /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111.19-default/build/include/linux/mm.h: No such file or directory grep: /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.111.19-default/build/include/linux/vmalloc.h: No such file or directory CC [M] /usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/gdg_drv.o In file included from /usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/gdg_drv.c:30: /usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/drm_vm.h: In function `gdg_mmap': /usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/drm_vm.h:624: warning: passing arg 1 of `remap_page_range' makes pointer from integer without a cast /usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/drm_vm.h:624: error: incompatible type for argument 4 of `remap_page_range' /usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/drm_vm.h:624: error: too few arguments to function `remap_page_range' make[5]: *** [/usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm/gdg_drv.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm] Error 2 make[3]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.111.19-obj/i386/default' make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/X11R6/dripkg/drm' make: *** [gdg.ko] Error 2 #### end install.sh output #### #### begin 'X -version' output #### XFree86 Version 4.3.99.902 (4.4.0 RC 2) Release Date: 18 December 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE Current Operating System: Linux 667-20040306 2.6.5-7.111.19-default #1 Fri Dec 10 15:10:58 UTC 2004 i686 Build Date: 23 August 2004 Changelog Date: 29 February 2004 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.

X.Org 6.8.2 RC1 RPMs and dependencies
by Markus Kossmann 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

When trying to update to 6.8.2 RC1 it failed with: warning: km_drm-6.8.1-15.4.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 0dd8616d error: Failed dependencies: xf86 is needed by (installed) xephem-3.5.2-472 xf86 is needed by (installed) Source-Navigator-5.1.4-177 xf86 is needed by (installed) xbanner-1.31-858 xdevel is needed by (installed) qt3-devel-3.3.3-24 xshared is needed by (installed) ghostscript-x11-7.07.1rc1-207 xshared is needed by (installed) libxine1-1.0-0.pm.0 xshared is needed by (installed) xine-ui-0.99.3-0.pm.0 In long term ( next SuSE release ) these packages need to be fixed, but for now ( Update packages for SuSE-9.2 ) the xorg rpms should still provide these old dependencies. As workaround I've rebuild the rpms from sources with an adapted spec file ( added xf86, xdevel, xshared to Provides section) . When doing that, the source rpm also complained about depending on "ghostscript-mini" which isn't provided by the ghostscript-x11 installation. Fixed that with replacing "ghostscript-mini" by "ghostscript" in the spec file but the better solution will be fixing ghostscript.

Support for ATI - All-in-Wonder card
by Reid Vail 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

This is a painful subject I think. I bought the ATI All-in-Wonder 9600 card for a new machine, not realizing the limitted ATI driver support. I got it working using the xf86config command-line configurator, using the "ati" driver. Does anyone know how much of this card's functionality is actually implemented with the "ati" driver? Also, in the Linux Hardware Howto, it says I should be able to support the r128 driver, but no good, at least as far as I can tell. I found that SaX2 wants to use the RV350 AP driver, but then X bombs. Any suggestions? Reid
