I don't know if it works, but Option "UseModeline" may be worth to try.

Can you show the log from (failed) 16bit run ?

If the monitor(LCD or CRT) Hsync can be set to 53.7kHz as used for
800x600 modeline, then the DotClock for 1024x768 can be down from
94.5MHz to 73.78MHz.

I am only trying to drive the LCD so the hsync and vrefresh can be
arbitrary as far as I know, although they were 30-70 (H) and 50-100(V)
in the 8 bit run.

I have tried UseModeline option.  In 8bit, it gives me a warm pale blue
(striped) screen and in 16bpp it gives a black vertical band along the
left side of the screen (about 15% wide), and the rest white (with one
or more vertical lines)

I have enclosed (below) my XF86Config-4 file and the XFree86.0.log from
a 16bpp run.  I tried to use the data above to build a modeline, but
obviously I am not doing something right.

Thanks for any help.

I was hoping that some one else would respond with a better answer then
this, but since no one has, I will let you know what I have done to get
my voodoo3 xf4 and kernel-2.4.0 to work.  At the linux.3dfx.com site
they have three binary rpms for OpenGL API , tdfx-dri, tdfx-drm, and
glide-v3-dri.  The tdfx-drm you have included in your kernel so you will
not need this, but you have to install the other two.
Install alien to convert the two rpm packages into debs.  The
glide-v3-dri installed on my system without any trouble, the tdfx-dri
directly conflics with the xserver-xfree86.  This is why it is not a
great solutions, but it works.  Install the tdfx-dri over the
xserver-xfree86 deb.  Use dpkg --force-overwrite -i tdfx-dri.deb.  You
will have to overwite the xserver-xfree86 every time up upgrade it.

I use voodoo3 xf4 and linux-2.4.0 w/ voodoo3.  This method works for me;
I hope it will help.

rebuild of XFree4.01 on potato doesn't work

[Michael Meding]

Hi all,

I tried a apt-get source xfree --compile on a potato where the xfree
4.01 was taken from woody (or dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc for that matter
in the xfree-4.01 directory). So far it went well, it showed "full build
of XFree86 complete" after that it went on with the package building
process. But it stopped after comparing debian/manifest with a make ***
[debian/stampdir/install] error1 .

Anybody knows what is going on here ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings

RE: VGA Textmode Restore Broken [Was: Re: Problems with xfree86 4.0.1d - Compac Armada 1500c (CT69000+DSTN)]

[Paul Keenan]

I get the dim grey/green console effect (framebuffer
console) and also some intermittent font corruption
problems in most X programs.

I'm using ThinkPad 600X which has the NeoMagic
MagicMedia256ZX [nm2360 chip] using the 'neomagic'
driver.

Both problems went away when I changed the colour depth
from 24bpp to 16bpp.

Might be worth a try ?

Re: voodoo3 libgl error in woody xf4

[jamie]

Thanks for your info...

however, last night... in my frustration... i purged my entire X
installation, and found that i did actually have a couple old GL
libraries from my previous compilation (i thought i had removed all of
them, but apparently not).

anyway, i'm happy to say i have an entirely deb based system (except for
the 2.4 kernel i compiled) with working xf4 and dri on a voodoo3 (no need for 
alien etc.)

kudos to Branden et al!

Nvidia driver

[Mithrandir]

Hi all,

i don't know wheather i'm right here with my question or not... i'll try ;))

i got a problem while compiling the org. nvidia kernelmodules an my system
(debian woody with brandens 4.0.1-2 debs and 2.4.0-test10) and i tried already
many thing to get them working... but the modprobe always fails

i will attach a log-file from a compilation and installation of the modules, in
hope someone already got the same prob (and perhaps already solved it ;) )
By the way, the graphic-board is a "Elsa Erazor III Pro - TNT2"
perhaps this is the problem :((

Thanks for help, cu

indeed somebody has, I picked up a patch (attached) from the ice-dcc bot on
the openprojects irc network.  I have 2 boxes, one with an Erazor II and one
with an Erazor III, I've only tested this patch on the first one, but X
comes up fine, but the system locks shortly thereafter due to other reasons,
the box with the Erazor III runs fine with this driver and test9 though, I
intend to try out test10 over the weekend on it.  if you run into further
problems getting things configured with these drivers the people in #nvidia
(on the openprojects servers) may also be of help.

Please check the list archives for the URL of the v30 debs I built for
potato.  I will build the current woody debs for potato soon as well.  Also

Re: voodoo3 libgl error in woody xf4

[James Leigh]

really? (=0

I would really like to use branden's xf4 fully, but it never used the
accl. opengl libraries for me.  What is it that you did?  How can I get
my system to drop the rpms from linux.3dfx.com ?  I should tell you know
that I have change back to 2.2.17, because I could not get bttv to work
with 2.4.0.  I do have tdfx as a module for 2.2.17.
So you do not have glide-v3-dri, and tdfx-dri install right?  How were
you able to do that?  What GL libraries did you use?

Re: rebuild of XFree4.01 on potato doesn't work

[Michael Meding]

Hi Charles,

actually I tried to build without glide. Still it doesn'T work.
The build of XFree went trough, the package building is what is not
working.

The build of XFree86 went through, the package building isn't working.

But this I stated already in my mail, it failed while comparing some
/debian/manifest.something. That is after the build process. Also there
is a new -3 *deb out there but my system still (after doing apt-get
update) refuses to load the new files instead issuing fiel -02.deb ins't
found (where there are already -3.debs available.

So what is wrong with my system ?

Sorry for causing inconvinience.


With best regards


Michael Meding

Did you see this message? :)

I suggest awaiting nvidia's release of 2.4 modules, if 2.4 doesn't have
an nvidia driver you feel like using..

You want libglide3 and xlibmesa3.

I'm using a Diamond Viper V770 (TNT2) with nv driver.  This is on
the Hurd.  I haven't try 4.x on Linux yet since I need that system for

I'm only using 16bpp.  I can't remember if I tried any other depth or not.
I'll give it a shot next time I look at it (may be a few days).

I have a TNT2 Ultra (I think a diamond of some sort).  And XF86 4.0 
works fine for 'real work' on Linux for me (except for this one

[storm@tux.org: XFree 4.0.1 debs]

Hi Branden,

First of all, excellent job on the XFree 4.x debs. I upgraded to them last
week because apt tried to install 3.3.6 overtop of the 4.0.0 that I
compiled.

Got a question for you regarding the debs. Brian Almeida (who sat next to
me at work until about half an hour ago) suggested I get in touch with you
if I couldn't track it down.

I'm running woody on a machine with the following config:

Dual PIII/500
256MB RAM
Matrox G200/8MB at 1:0:0
Matrox Millenium II/4MB at 0:18:0
Dual Sony Trinitron G500 21" monitors
XFree86 4.0.1-0phase2v30 debs
Enlightenent-0.16.5-1

Before you started cutting .debs, I ended up getting XFree86 4.0.0 and
compiling from source. things worked fine, including Xinerama.

When I rebuilt the box and installed the .debs of 4.0.1, I started having a
problem with the dual heads. I created a bunch of double-sized backgrounds
for X by pasting two regular images together. I noticed after I got back up
and running that the root window, desktop 0 in enlightenment wasn't
behaving right. Instead of having different pictures on each monitor, I had
the same one on both. Other desktops were behaving normally. I thought this
might be a problem with Enlightenment, but then, as I got the machine
configured to my liking, I noticed that the image I was using for my xdm
login (which was a normal-sized image that xinerama was stretching to fit
the two desktops) was doing the same thing. The left half of the stretched
image was displayed on the xdm login.

I wanted to email you directly since you are the most knowledgeable about
things X in the entire Project, plus I didn't want to file a bug report
since it is entirely likely that I could have something misconfigured or
did something stupid. If you need any more information, please let me know.

Anything you can suggest?

Thanks man,

I don't know if it works, but Option "UseModeline" may be worth to try.

If the monitor(LCD or CRT) Hsync can be set to 53.7kHz as used for
800x600 modeline, then the DotClock for 1024x768 can be down from
94.5MHz to 73.78MHz.

I am only trying to drive the LCD so the hsync and vrefresh can be
arbitrary as far as I know, although they were 30-70 (H) and 50-100(V)
in the 8 bit run.

I have tried UseModeline option.  In 8bit, it gives me a warm pale blue
(striped) screen and in 16bpp it gives a black vertical band along the
left side of the screen (about 15% wide), and the rest white (with one
or more vertical lines)

I have enclosed (below) my XF86Config-4 file and the XFree86.0.log from
a 16bpp run.  I tried to use the data above to build a modeline, but
obviously I am not doing something right.

Thanks for any help.

I was hoping that some one else would respond with a better answer then
this, but since no one has, I will let you know what I have done to get
my voodoo3 xf4 and kernel-2.4.0 to work.  At the linux.3dfx.com site
they have three binary rpms for OpenGL API , tdfx-dri, tdfx-drm, and
glide-v3-dri.  The tdfx-drm you have included in your kernel so you will
not need this, but you have to install the other two.
Install alien to convert the two rpm packages into debs.  The
glide-v3-dri installed on my system without any trouble, the tdfx-dri
directly conflics with the xserver-xfree86.  This is why it is not a
great solutions, but it works.  Install the tdfx-dri over the
xserver-xfree86 deb.  Use dpkg --force-overwrite -i tdfx-dri.deb.  You
will have to overwite the xserver-xfree86 every time up upgrade it.

I use voodoo3 xf4 and linux-2.4.0 w/ voodoo3.  This method works for me;
I hope it will help.

rebuild of XFree4.01 on potato doesn't work

[Michael Meding]

Hi all,

I tried a apt-get source xfree --compile on a potato where the xfree
4.01 was taken from woody (or dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc for that matter
in the xfree-4.01 directory). So far it went well, it showed "full build
of XFree86 complete" after that it went on with the package building
process. But it stopped after comparing debian/manifest with a make ***
[debian/stampdir/install] error1 .

Anybody knows what is going on here ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings


Michael Meding

RE: VGA Textmode Restore Broken [Was: Re: Problems with xfree86 4.0.1d - Compac Armada 1500c (CT69000+DSTN)]

[Paul Keenan]

I get the dim grey/green console effect (framebuffer
console) and also some intermittent font corruption
problems in most X programs.

I'm using ThinkPad 600X which has the NeoMagic
MagicMedia256ZX [nm2360 chip] using the 'neomagic'
driver.

Both problems went away when I changed the colour depth
from 24bpp to 16bpp.

Might be worth a try ?

Re: voodoo3 libgl error in woody xf4

[jamie]

Thanks for your info...

however, last night... in my frustration... i purged my entire X
installation, and found that i did actually have a couple old GL
libraries from my previous compilation (i thought i had removed all of
them, but apparently not).

anyway, i'm happy to say i have an entirely deb based system (except for
the 2.4 kernel i compiled) with working xf4 and dri on a voodoo3 (no need for alien 
etc.)

kudos to Branden et al!

Nvidia driver

[Mithrandir]

Hi all,

i don't know wheather i'm right here with my question or not... i'll try ;))

i got a problem while compiling the org. nvidia kernelmodules an my system
(debian woody with brandens 4.0.1-2 debs and 2.4.0-test10) and i tried already
many thing to get them working... but the modprobe always fails

i will attach a log-file from a compilation and installation of the modules, in
hope someone already got the same prob (and perhaps already solved it ;) )
By the way, the graphic-board is a "Elsa Erazor III Pro - TNT2"
perhaps this is the problem :((

Thanks for help, cu

indeed somebody has, I picked up a patch (attached) from the ice-dcc bot on
the openprojects irc network.  I have 2 boxes, one with an Erazor II and one
with an Erazor III, I've only tested this patch on the first one, but X
comes up fine, but the system locks shortly thereafter due to other reasons,
the box with the Erazor III runs fine with this driver and test9 though, I
intend to try out test10 over the weekend on it.  if you run into further
problems getting things configured with these drivers the people in #nvidia
(on the openprojects servers) may also be of help.

Please check the list archives for the URL of the v30 debs I built for
potato.  I will build the current woody debs for potato soon as well.  Also

I would really like to use branden's xf4 fully, but it never used the
accl. opengl libraries for me.  What is it that you did?  How can I get
my system to drop the rpms from linux.3dfx.com ?  I should tell you know
that I have change back to 2.2.17, because I could not get bttv to work
with 2.4.0.  I do have tdfx as a module for 2.2.17.
So you do not have glide-v3-dri, and tdfx-dri install right?  How were
you able to do that?  What GL libraries did you use?

Re: rebuild of XFree4.01 on potato doesn't work

[Michael Meding]

Hi Charles,

actually I tried to build without glide. Still it doesn'T work.
The build of XFree went trough, the package building is what is not
working.

The build of XFree86 went through, the package building isn't working.

But this I stated already in my mail, it failed while comparing some
/debian/manifest.something. That is after the build process. Also there
is a new -3 *deb out there but my system still (after doing apt-get
update) refuses to load the new files instead issuing fiel -02.deb ins't
found (where there are already -3.debs available.

So what is wrong with my system ?

Sorry for causing inconvinience.


With best regards


Michael Meding

This is additional. It is late here. Please do not mind redundancy.

Did you see this message? :)

I suggest awaiting nvidia's release of 2.4 modules, if 2.4 doesn't have
an nvidia driver you feel like using..

You want libglide3 and xlibmesa3.

I haven't seen any font corruption, only severe dimming.

I'm using a Diamond Viper V770 (TNT2) with nv driver.  This is on
the Hurd.  I haven't try 4.x on Linux yet since I need that system for
"real" work :-).

I'm only using 16bpp.  I can't remember if I tried any other depth or not.
I'll give it a shot next time I look at it (may be a few days).

Thanks for the suggestion,

I have a TNT2 Ultra (I think a diamond of some sort).  And XF86 4.0 
works fine for 'real work' on Linux for me (except for this one 
problem.

Hi Branden,

First of all, excellent job on the XFree 4.x debs. I upgraded to them last
week because apt tried to install 3.3.6 overtop of the 4.0.0 that I
compiled.

Got a question for you regarding the debs. Brian Almeida (who sat next to
me at work until about half an hour ago) suggested I get in touch with you
if I couldn't track it down.

I'm running woody on a machine with the following config:

Dual PIII/500
256MB RAM
Matrox G200/8MB at 1:0:0
Matrox Millenium II/4MB at 0:18:0
Dual Sony Trinitron G500 21" monitors
XFree86 4.0.1-0phase2v30 debs
Enlightenent-0.16.5-1

Before you started cutting .debs, I ended up getting XFree86 4.0.0 and
compiling from source. things worked fine, including Xinerama.

When I rebuilt the box and installed the .debs of 4.0.1, I started having a
problem with the dual heads. I created a bunch of double-sized backgrounds
for X by pasting two regular images together. I noticed after I got back up
and running that the root window, desktop 0 in enlightenment wasn't
behaving right. Instead of having different pictures on each monitor, I had
the same one on both. Other desktops were behaving normally. I thought this
might be a problem with Enlightenment, but then, as I got the machine
configured to my liking, I noticed that the image I was using for my xdm
login (which was a normal-sized image that xinerama was stretching to fit
the two desktops) was doing the same thing. The left half of the stretched
image was displayed on the xdm login.

I wanted to email you directly since you are the most knowledgeable about
things X in the entire Project, plus I didn't want to file a bug report
since it is entirely likely that I could have something misconfigured or
did something stupid. If you need any more information, please let me know.

Anything you can suggest?

Thanks man,

Bradley, I haven't played around with background images yet under
Xinerama, but I have been meaning to try my hand at splicing some
images together to make a supermegabackgroundimageofdeath -- come
remind me (on debian-x) to look further into the matter if I don't
get back to you in a few days.

Also suggested, check on debian-user if anyone has mentioned this.
As time goes on, Branden will start sending more and more people
directly to that list, as it fits closer with the group charter of
debian-user than debian-x. (And, Debian-x is preferred over emailing
Branden directly, since he gets entirely too much email about X as it
is. This way, at least some people can help weed out the easy answers.)

Cheers
