Re: PCI vs AGP load

[Michael P. <mic...@op...>]

As I promised a while back, I finally ran some tests using a dual pci-e
system.  Video runs fine on either pci-e card with low xorg cpu usage.  But,
on a third pci card, you can clearly see the slowdown.  I will try to ask
nVidia what is going on.  As Jean-Daniel's pci is fine using xf86 instead of
xorg, I will try to dig up one of our old debian installs and see if this
problem is xorg specific.   It may even be xorg 6.9/7 that the problem first
appeared in.

Newer ruby does not exist. My target was creating multiseat linux box,
which is done. Use built-in Xorg evdev driver or faketty kernel module
(fit for Debian, Mandrake X 6.8.2 with isolateDevice option) instead of
patching the kernel.

Newer Ruby Patches

[Mike S. <mik...@ip...>]

Hello List,

I might be blind, but I can't find any Ruby-patches for Kernel
newer than 2.6.13
Even the 2.6.13 I can't build (Ubuntu dapper 6.06):
drivers/char/sysrq.c: In function sysrq_handle_unraw:
drivers/char/sysrq.c:88: error: struct vc_data has no member named kbd_table

I'm trying to follow this Howto to combine Ruby with VServer:
http://linux-vserver.org/MoreUbuntu

Any help for me here?

Mike

Thanks Ludovic, I got it running.
The Makefile for sessiond.c and the udev files change
for Debian. Also you need to install all 3 fuse debs.
The obvious thing I ought to do is create a .deb.
I am having no luck using NAS with this scheme.

Re: sessiond question

[ludovic p. <pl...@nn...>]

Hello,
In fact, /var/sessions/currents/current is a link to /var/sessions/curren=
ts/:0=20
for session 0, /var/sessions/currents/:1 for session 1, and so on...
sessiond is handling this; it is a fuse filesystem, so it can look into t=
he=20
calling process environment variable to when the link should point to :0=20
(depending on the DISPLAY variable)...

But links in /var/sessions/currents/:0 and /var/sessions/currents/:1 stil=
l=20
have to be created manually (or by hotplug script for the enthusiasts...)

Hope it helps...

The only difference between a car salesman and a computer salesman is
that the car salesman knows he's lying.

sessiond question

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have a sessiond question:

In the README it says:

...
* In /dev, you must create symbolic links to
/var/sessions/currents/current/[dsp|adsp|...] Make
sure that udev will not create /dev/dsp by itself, or
erase it at next boot. (see provided /etc/udev/... for
hints)
...

So /dev/dsp is a symbolic link to
/var/sessions/currents/current/dsp. Then who creates
/var/sessions/currents/current/dsp, and how?

Thanks!

Hugo

new Ubuntu xephyr multi-user packages and demo disc

[Michael P. <lin...@gr...>]

Hello,
We would like to announce the availability of our new xephyr-based
multi-user public access computing live demo disc and Ubuntu multi-user
packages.
We've started a multi-user wiki at:
http://www.groovix.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/SlimHelp

We refer to multi-user computing as SLIM: Simultaneous Local Independent
Multi-user, so make it easly distinguishable in web searches and for
marketing purposes.  SLIM in Xephyr we call SLIMIX

Now using xephyr, you can have two distinct screens per card (probably 3
with tv-out).  Our scripts currently will only work with nvidia cards, but
it could be easily extended to other brands.  We have not been able to use
more than one ATI card in a system without things crashing, so with ATI you
are limited to one card supporting two users max.  NOTE with xephyr, trying
to run 3D apps may destroy the X session, so disable 3D screensavers.

You can grab our new public access multi-user live demo disc .iso at:
http://www.groovix.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/KioskDemoDisc
This version uses Xephyr, so no 3D, but up to 10 users -- just plug
everything in and boot.
For assigning kb/mouse pairs to the correct screen, use ctrl-alt-k: see
http://www.groovix.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/SlimixInstall

For those not using an apt based packaging system, you can get our .deb
files directly and try converting to rpm:
http://www.groovix.com/ubuntu/pool/multiuser/
We would like to offer rpms, but don't have the demand or resources to test,
so any rpm contributions would be great.

I want to explicitly thank:
Ludovic Pollet for sessiond, enabling easy multi-user sound
Ander Conselvan de Oliveira for patching xephyr to allow separate keyboard
and mice
Aivils Stoss for all his multi-user work, specifically on the evdev kb/mouse
method
Lonni Friedman of nvidia for fixing nvidia multi-user issues at our specific
request
And the rest of this mailing list for all the contributions, help, and
testing.

Thank You,

Multihead with slackware created!

[Dr. S. B. <drbista@eParliament.org>]

Dear friends:

I created multiheads with the slackware today. At the time when I came to
know from my friend Zoli's post that it does not need faketty with xorg7
(kudos to xorg consortium), I came to know that the latest slack
distribution 6.9 also has the same features. In the meantime, Mr. Mikhail
Kshevetskiy's configuration files enlightened me a lot. And thanks to
Tiago Vignatti of c3sl for his offer to help, but I created one on my own
though very much confused with the Sys V init scripts.

However, there are a few things to be solved. When I used differnt drivers
for differnt cards, the second display did not work, even if the drivers
are correct (ati and s3). Therfore I changed both to the ati based cards
and it worked flawlessly.

Second, the display resolution in the second terminal is much lower than
the first one though both of them has the same configurations!?

Third, I could not switch to the Swedish keyboard even after I specified
se as the xkblayout. setxkblayout se in command line gives the following
error>
$ setxkbmap se
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Segmentation fault

I am attaching my xorg.conf and gdm.conf files below for those who may be
intersted and also to help diagnosethe three problems that I am facing
right now. Shall be obliged if anyone could throw more light on it. Thanks
in advance!

May you, your family, your team be successful in your missions,
prosperous, healthy, happy, free from suffering and in peace always!

# This file is the appropriate place for specifying your customizations to

# automatically update with the new configuration.  Not all configuration
# options are supported by gdmsetup, so to modify some values it may be
# necessary to modify this file directly by hand.
#
# To hand-edit this file, simply add or modify the key=value combination in

the
# gdm.conf file for information about each option.  Also refer to the
reference

#
# If you hand edit a GDM configuration file, you should run the following

# programs will also be notified to update with the new configuration.
#
# gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG <configuration key>"
#
# For example, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be
specified by

#
# You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart
and

sending

Fine, but you forgot to say that this model is hardware restricted. It=20
only works with a certain combination of graphic cards (only nvidia=20
AFAIK, though I saw in your config file that Matrox works too). For non=20
dependence you may the nested multiseat (Xephyr and Xnest).

Any news on multiport (single chip) Xorg?

[Yitzhak B. G. <yit...@ya...>]

Hi,
Does anybody know whether it is possible now to run multiple users on a dual port (single chip) graphics board? Is Xephyr still the only solution?
I had hoped that Xorg wold provide that capability at some point.
If anybody has any information on the subject, please inform us all.

Oops, typo.

I use it for ages. Initially it was a variation of Miguel Freitas method
(X11 evdev support) with isolate device X11 patch from backstreet ruby
project. It works, but require some triks during setup. Things become more
simple with xorg-6.9 release (slackware-current). Currently it require:
  1) change xorg configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)
  2) change X desktop manager configuration file (i use xdm, so i
     modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers)
  3) create 2 simlinks
     ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg /usr/X11R6/bin/X0
     ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg /usr/X11R6/bin/X1

PCI vs AGP load (was: Re: Working setup with two pci-e (ludovic pollet))

    I performed the same test as in my previous post : playing the very=20

    same, with more or less 8%/9% for mplayer and 10% for XFree86 (4.3.0.=

    debian) on both cards.
    now you can of course reach better performances on AGP, like 80 fps=20
    with fgfs which is impossible with the PCI card, at least because the=

    gpu is much weaker.

    AGP is nvidia 4200 ti
    PCI is nvidia MX 440

Slack and multihead?

[Dr. S. B. <drbista@eParliament.org>]

Dear friends:

I am posting to this mailing list after a long time due to unavoidable
circumstances.

I am trying to create multiheads on a slack-based ZenWalk machine. I tried
to follow the c3sl hack with Xephyr, but it crashes with 'no screen found'
message when X server is booting and hangs.

I came across the faketty, Xnest and Xephyr than the Ruby kernel patch
method. Also came across userful stuff, but do not want to use because it
is proprietary.

Could anyone suggest me which is the best way to create a multihead in
slackware? Anyone has experience? Actually, I am a bit confused with
slackware because the init.d in debian/RH is not there and rc.d is there
and c3sl is mainly based on the debian platform.

I have chosen Zenwalk.org because it seemed to run faster than anything I
came across except kanotix (but it is woody based, not sarge). Suggestion
solicited.

May you, your family, your team be successful in your missions,
prosperous, healthy, happy, free from suffering and in peace always!

Webocratically yours,

Re: Working setup with two pci-e (ludovic pollet)

[Michael P. <mic...@op...>]

Hi Ludovic,
Sorry for the undersight on my part, I just checked the ogle AND Xorg cpu
usage:
PCI:
22-26% ogle_mpeg_vs
13-16% Xorg
AGP:
29-30% ogle_mpeg_vs
0-1% Xorg

So indeed the performance is worse on the pci cards.  I will try this on a
dual pci-e system later.
XV does seem to be working on both screens, but why is the player cpu usage
lower but Xorg usage higher on PCI?  Why would it be so much more variable
on PCI?

Thanks,

The interresting part is cpu usage of X11 process. In all case, with xv,=20
mplayer only has to copy data to a Xshm. It doesn't directly hit the=20
hardware... X11 then has to copy these data into the memory of the graphi=
cs=20
cards and then instruct the GPU to blit/overlay it on screen...

So what is X11 cpu usage in you case ?

>> I'd really like to know if you have XV working on all you heads with nice
cpu usage...

I just played a dvd simultaneously on two screens with ogle, pretty much the
same cpu usage, about 30% with an Athlon 3000+.  You get a really cool echo
when you hit play on both screens just out of sync.
Playing them one at a time, it almost seemed the pci card (not agp) has
slightly lower cpu usage.
These are with nvidia cards, a 5200 agp and a 4000 pci.
You should try out our old live cd (the new one uses Xephyr, so no xv) to
make sure it isn't your software.
The old demo is available at
http://ftp.open-sense.net/badger/groovix_badger_live_20051222.iso
I don't remember right now if that old demo uses nv or nvidia drivers, but
it can easily be switched and gdm restarted.
If you want to do a fresh Ubuntu install, just run this one command after
installing Ubuntu to turn your system into a Groovix multi-user system:

wget groovix.com/support/ubuntu/dapper/groovix_setup.bash -O - | bash

It could be some sort of software issue, or configuration -- are you using
the same user settings on both displays?  Are you sure both are using XV?

playing the very same video sample (divx, but does it matter ?) 25 fps on=

both my card gives almost the same result.
both are using xv, mplayer said :

lurking around with ps or top gives 8% 9% max for mplayer on both cards,=20
but most of the time it's around 5%
Still, I think measuring with "time" is more precise.

using full screen by resizing the video to 1280x1024 doesn't gives much
difference :

    GeForce4 Ti 4200 (AGP 4x):
	real    0m26.300s
	user    0m3.480s
	sys     0m0.240s

	real    0m26.960s
	user    0m3.000s
	sys     0m0.880s
=09
Now if I play fgfs, one is really much slower than the other...

Re: Working setup with two pci-e (ludovic pollet)

[ludovic p. <pl...@nn...>]

No, I have the same with mplayer and xine. XV seems to works fine on seco=
nd=20
head (xvinfo), but it just uses more cpu than when the card is alone.=20

I think it could be related to DMA... I suspect the nvidia drivers to do =
DMA=20
correctly only on first head and not on second...

I had a look at the xv code of the mga driver (the code which send data t=
o=20
video memory) : there is no dma here and it gives arround 35% cpu usage w=
hen=20
playing video. Since i have the same perfs on the pci nvidia, it is possi=
ble=20
that it uses the same method (copying data using cpu, without dma)...

The video I used to test was a capture from dvb-t (mpeg2). So you can get=
 the=20
same by playing a dvb for example... I'd really like to know if you have =
XV=20
working on all you heads with nice cpu usage...

OK, no mixing. But which cards (two ATIs, twi nVidias or one Matrox) is the best choice for dual head systems, with use of XGL?

    mixing a propietary-driven card such as nvidia (and possibly recent A=

    building those two trees is part of this (obsolete but full of ideas)=

Hello

Are the nVidia videocards the best choice with binary drivers for a dual head system? Or maybe a mix ATI <-> nVidia, or maybe only Matrox.
