[parisc-linux] Xfree86 failled with -pa57

[joel.soete]

Hi all,

Just finished some test of -pa57.

It seems to work very fine as well as on my 712 Model (with scsi terminator) as 
on B180L model (Diagnostic Led working and logo appears well on screen top). 
Disconect-reconnect kbd does not present any problem.

I try now to start xdm (which works more or less with some previous kernel 
release). This time it failed with following message (same on each model):

Do you have PCI support enabled in your kernel?

shouldn't matter. I bet the framebuffer runs in a different resolution than
it's configured in XF86Config. Since the current stifb doesn't support
mode switching, I've made the check very strict to not allow it. So
the boot time resolution and bpp must match that from XF86Config.

Sorry for NEWBIES (as I am in term of X configuration) what means bpp?

Well I found what I have to change in my config file to make xdm works.
Just a problem:
After the xdm start everything seems to works fine (right colors, mouse 
working,...). Then I login: ok the pointer still work, I can work in the default 
xterm,...
But when I exit mouse does not move any more and I had to restart xdm.

(Um.., on my B180 I thing have to update Xfree 4.0 to 4.1 the mouse does not 
work at all but gpm well)

Any idea?

Thanks for all great job and in advance for additional help,
        Joel

bpp = bits per pixel. 
You should enter "8" here, which defaults to 2^8 = 256 colors.

I assume you have a PS/2 mouse.
If so, disable gpm before starting xdm ("/etc/init.d/gpm stop").

Bits per pixel, or colour depth.  8bpp is 256 colours, 16bpp is
'thousands' and 32bpp is 'millions' of colours.

You have right,

But sorry this as no effect:
on 712 pointer still fix in midle of the screen after an exit,
on b180 pointer still fixed all the time (even after an update to xfree 4.1.0-7)
(just after re-install of gpm: gpm.com contains as default repeat_type=ms3 then 
I have a pointer moving only at the bottum of the screen (same behaviour as the 
712 before I comment repeat_type)?)

Is it possible to config XFree so that it takes mouse input from gpm?

Thanks for help and ideas,
        joel

Hi all

Yes via /dev/gpmdata but I won't advice you to do so.

Perhaps, you are stuck b/c of software and not hardware or kernel
problems.

Try to do it via startx, Thomas.

Yes, I find it back simply on my i386 (but at home) on which it works
fine that is why I though to this idea but I will follow your advice.

What's about a window manager the X default is twm (if I do not make
error) but it depends of menu which is not yet available for hppa? Can
we already replace it by fvwm to install later Xfce?

I do not yet try, so I will do soon and let you inform.

This problem continu but...

this one Thomas Marteau kindely help me to find out that in 'Section
pointer' of XFconfig the 'Device "/dev/mouse"'.
And if on the 712 /dev/mouse is well a link to /dev/psaux, on the
contrary on the B180L the /dev/mouse was wrongly a link to /dev/gpmdata.

Thanks again to Thomas and all for help,

Sorry Thomas it does not work more successfully (with or without gpm running, 
with or without gpmdata). But what could be the small difference between b132 
and b180 (processor clock excepted)?

(Changing mouse doesn't help)
(There is no more (EE) message in XFree86.0.log (or xdm.log). No message, no 
syslog and no kern.log errors)

What can I do to debug this problem?


Thanks again,
	Joel
