After a couple of weeks of using XF 3.3.6, I decided to install XF 4.0, to correct the many bugs I was experiencing in the SVGA server (even with the patch in 'fixes'). The binary & source releases at xfree86.org, caused a very significant bug to appear. When I started X, then switched to a console and back, my screen appears in very weird shades of green/yellow/black. Now that I have installed the DRI-CVS trunk, (June 20th) after I start X, That same screen apears when I try to ctrl-alt-f1, or switch to any other console. (IE a colour distorted representation of my X screen). When I switch back to my X screen, each window is redrawn, and appears in it's correct pallet. I'm not sure which is better at this point, access to text console, or access to X. Can't I have both somehow? - The r128 module modprobes correctly, and xdpyinfo reports GLX, SGI-GLX, and XFree86-DRI. - Running 2.4.0test1 Also I seem to be unable to slect 32 bpp despite the DRI User Guide's suggestion "You may also set your screen depth to 32 for 32bpp mode". X fails on startup siting the depth 32 display subsection as an unsupported mode. Thanks in advance. I hope this is the right place to ask for help. 8^) -- Curtis Magyar cum...@ho... |
