But I use similar feature 8 months under "ruby". James Simmons promised insert back into ruby-2.5.XX multiheading OKT-2002. IMHO dummy console for additional console emulation works nice. Ofcourse secondary XFree use VT, but VT bounded with right keyboard. Current XFree grab VGA any way, use VT or not. You lost Ctrl-Alt-Fx , text mode virtual terminals, if You start multiple X servers. HERE IS LACK OF USER INTEREST. Aivils |

Ah, thank you, that makes that easy to do. However, looking at the XFree86 source code, I see that it assumes frequently that the console device provides keyboard input and can be used to control the VTs via ioctl()s. Would it be difficult to create a secondary device which provides only the keystrokes from the secondary keyboard and ignores the VT ioctl()s? Then I could modify XFree86 to to be able to use this alternate device as its console device fairly easily, I think. On a related note, is there a Input driver for XFree86 that groks the linux /dev/input/eventX protocol? Thanks, Wayne |

Hello, Sorry if this is an FAQ, but I couldn't find any archives for linuxconsole-dev or linux-input. I have an x86 machine with two keyboards, one PS/2 and one USB. Under linux 2.5.59, both keyboards work, and the console receives keystrokes from either one. However, I would like to bind the keyboards to separate devices, with only the PS/2 keystrokes going to the console. Then I could access the USB keyboard via /dev/input/eventX. How can I do this? Even better would be /dev/input/keyboardX, but I've not heard of that. If I disable CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT in my kernel configuration, then the USB keystrokes don't make it to the input layer, so the console doesn't get them. Of course, then they also don't show up in /dev/input/eventX. They do seem to show up in /dev/usb/hiddevX, but this device I'm not familiar with. For example, if I point XFree86 to my USB mouse on /dev/usb/hiddevX, it won't start up. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I did look at the ruby CVS, but it seems to be against 2.5.51, and I'm also not clear on what to do with the CVS files. The BitKeeper repository is not accessible to me. Thanks, Wayne P.S. My application for this is to run a second X server, divorced from the VT system and using its own video card, keyboard and mouse, to achieve multidesktop without explicit kernel or X support. I understand that the 2.5 ruby multidesktop support is not quite there yet. |

Hi Aivilis, could you add this to your mirrors list: http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~sls35340/aivils/ [Germany] http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/aivils/ [ UK ](may be a bit slower single ADSL) and what do you think about adding to your site my patch for XF-4.3 and binaries (probably marked as ALPHA quality as AFAIK only i have tested them, but it works stable for me) about the FAQ: Q: How can i run bruby and standard 2.4 kernel without having to change all the time the X and display manager configuration A: (something i found in my Mandrake's rc.sysinit) it should probably work with Red Hat as well, others may be? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # (pixel) a kind of profile for XF86Config # if no XFree=XXX given on kernel command-line, restore XF86Config.standard for i in XF86Config XF86Config-4; do if [ -L "/etc/X11/$i" ]; then XFree=`sed -n 's/.*XFree=\(\w*\).*/\1/p' /proc/cmdline` [ -n "$XFree" ] || XFree=standard [ -r "/etc/X11/$i.$XFree" ] && ln -sf "$i.$XFree" "/etc/X11/$i" fi done --------------------------------------------------------------------------- move your XFConfig-4(the one for standard 2.4 kernel) to XF86Config-4.standard move your XFConfig-4(the one for standard bruby kernel) to XF86Config-4.bruby make a sym link from one of them to XFConfig-4 so booting with XFree=bruby argument will link XF86Config-4.bruby to XFConfig-4, booting with no XFree argument or XFree=standard -- will link XF86Config-4.standard to XFConfig-4 :) X server is done :) i modified the above to change my display manager configuration upon dumbcon= (it seems to work for me, but i don't relly know how to use sed :( ) the lines below should restore the apropriate config for xdm,gdm,kdm the files should end with: .0 -- start only the first X server .1 -- start 2 Xservers .2 -- start 3 Xservers .... ( if you are useing kdm make shure that ($KDE-PREFIX)/share/config/kdm/Xservers is a sym link to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # #the same like XF86Config but for gdm.conf & Xservers # for i in xdm/Xservers gdm/gdm.conf; do if [ -L "/etc/X11/$i" ]; then DumbCon=`sed -n 's/.*dumbcon=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' /proc/cmdline` [ -n "$DumbCon" ] || DumbCon=0 [ -r "/etc/X11/$i.$DumbCon" ] && ln -sf "/etc/X11/$i.$DumbCon" "/etc/X11/$i" fi done ---------------------------------------------------------------------- comments are very wellcome :) regards, svetljo |

I'd guess it has to do with braid-deadness of older VGA-compatible PCI/AGP hardware. There might be no other way to init the chips (change mode, even change single palette entry) than to go trough the VGA-compatible I/O ports. This range is legacy address decoded by the PCI devices. Since these legacy I/O ranges cannot be relocated (like normal MMIO I/O in PCI), only one PCI device (in system) may have it's legacy VGA address decoders enabled at single instance. This means that for most older hardware, one needs to specifically disable the I/O decoders on _all_ other VGA compatible PCI devices for the duration of programming the one that is really required. If more than one PCI device will attempt at decoding the same legacy I/O range (0x3d0-smt), serious brain damage would occur (could prompt a #SERR on PCI). Only the recent graphics chips may be programmed purely through MMIO I/O and even then they might require some short setup before going into that mode. (at least) because of this reason, xf86 has no choice but disable all I/O decoders on all VGA-compatible devices, and it goes a bit further by disabling all VGA-compatible PCI devices that it will not drive just to be on the safe side. Unless there is some system-provided common arbitration for these legacy ranges, this is the only way (from xf86's point of view). The right place for linux would be the kernel, although this might upset some xf86 folk since their code also does a lot of other stuff as well (like run the BIOS code init from previously disabled PCI display hardware to get it up and running, DDC probing if otherwise not possible). In my opinion a more generic resource management for this would be nice in the kernel but atm xf86 assumes (rightly so) that it will be the only application doing graphics stuff. This is difficult to solve (although in my opinion possible). Feel free to correct me if you feel that the technical data is inaccurate, I've currently trying to understand the lower levels of PCI and AGP eventually and don't claim to be an expert on it.

Svetoslav, >for this to work you'll have to patch XFree, >Aivilis has patch and binary for XFree86-4.2, >you can find it updated ( for 4.2.99.3 ) on my site: >http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/X/XFree-4.2.99.3/ > > > this patch has always troubled me. it seems to disable some kind of pci resource locking, but as is i'm sure the xfree people wouldn't accept it. if we wrap it in a configuration option, can we get it accepted upstream? is the patch only required when using a dual head card and two x servers are poking the same card? does anyone know why you'd want this kind of locking going on anyway? is it to avoid two x servers trying to drive the same head? brad |

Hello, Are there any instructions anywhere on setting up multi-desktop, preferrably with current software (XFree86 4.2.99.x, kernel 2.5.x)? From scanning the list archives, it seems that multi-desktop has worked in the past but may not currently be working. If so, when was it most recently working? Any information would be appreciated, and I can help, if only as a tester. Cheers, Wayne |

>i still seem to have 2 instead of one usb keyboard, My "BTC Multimetdia USB" keyboard has two USB interfaces. "Microsoft natural" has two. First is normal keyboard. Second is for additional multimedia buttons. You can recieve multimedia button events from /dev/input/eventN or keycodes from /dev/ttyNN - /dev/ttyNN+8 range. Before allow DUMB console for this keyboard interface. Unfortunately I cannot suggest a program. >and the usb mouse was registered as mouse2 not mouse1, >(before remooving usbmouse it was mouse1, so i suppose now i don't have >mouse under the second X) I am not sure about mouses.
