Oops. My patch is wrong. It works for kdm. I confuse
gdm and kdm. gdm don't like my patch :-(
And gdm kills X anyway after 10 sec time out.
I am so sorry.

No luck with vz3-3 or with Aivils patch

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

I tried James' patch with 2.6.14 (really fast!), but
still getting crashes after repeated logouts and
logins (beween 6 and 10). I also recompiled X with
Aivils' patch. After repeated logouts, the machine
freezes. I have no clue what causes the freeze. With
Aivils' patch, an occasional X server hits 99% cpu
usage with an interesting phenomenon: it slows
performance on servers :1 and :2, but not on :0. Only
:0 is not USB.
We also see that each logout takes longer and longer
until the machine freezes.

(FC2 SMP Athlon), nVidia 8xxx binary driver, 2.6.14-vz3.3xx kernel looks

re: Zephyr; Not yet - I will probably look at it soon - I have SVHS

The issues specifically resolved with these vz3.3xx kernel are : any
console switching instability - I've tried quite hard and can no longer
reproduce it. Even on a machine for which this has historically been a
problem.

vesafb-tng is better, but not 100% - on SMP and hyperthreaded machines,
no problem. On SMP boxes it remains unreliable.

I use vesafb-tng console on the HT P4 and vga16 framebuffer console on

Absolutely. As Aivils pointed out - it's an emergency out. What I'm
wondering is if there would be any benefit to introduce a forced timeout
inserted between <ctrl><alt><bkspc> killing the server and the new X
server attempting to init video. Does a single head fail similarly?

With multi-console at least, using this as a stress test will cause a
crash - either of the X server or a lockup or similar. It is attempting
to re-init immediately. How might one insert a pause of say 0.5 or 1
second, to ensure that this is not the whole problem? Is this
unnecessary?

Of course it's not a real-world usage and it's not normally a problem,
but it would be nice to know what causes it and perhaps prevent it
altogether.

X reinit code trapped (Yitzhak Bar Geva)

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

Aivils' solution of not resetting the hardware on
[xkg]dm logout sounds like a sufficient solution to
the Nvidia driver errors. We do not(!!) want logout to
reset the Nvidia driver, since that's exactly what
causes the problems. On the other hand, you do want to
retain <ctrl><alt><bkspc> to reset the card. That's
what it's intended for, isn't it?

Two new 2.6.14 kernels at http://members.westnet.com.au/vanzeeland :

Good news : with these kernels and nV 7676 or 8xxx the P4 that I cursed

After ctrl-alt-backspace _kills_ X server. DM fork new X server
process. No ideas what can be done for new X process.

Re: X reinit code trapped

[James v. Z. <ja...@dv...>]

So for those who's multi-X proves unstable after multiple login-logout,
this should stabilise X?

But the Ctrl-Alt-backspace test is still likely to fail if the
restarting X server fails to remove and reinit the device instance?

The paranoid sysops comment is due to the (small) potential for the X
server to be compromised and the compromise carried over between login
sessions?

Is there anything that can be done to reduce the likelyhood of an X
server failing to reinit after killed by ctrl-alt-backspace?

I don't seem to need this - my nV only configs seem to be stable, but I
suspect that odd combinations of drivers, such as an (nV binary + nV
opensource + matrox + s3) config might benefit a great deal?

No such troubles on FC2/FC3/FC4 + faketty; I do remember an issue like
it that cropped up on early tests, though, using ruby and much earlier
nV binary drivers. RH9/FC1 vintage? Haven't had a problem like that
since before 2.6.9, I think.

DPMS Problem

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

We work with Nvidia boards (which have the reset
problem, but that's another issue). DPMS works OK. We
found that the problem you report occurs when Option
"RenrderAccel" is On. When we turn off RenderAccel,
the problem does not occur.

This is what killed my multiseat project, and I never found a solution 
to it, including disabling DPMS and all other powersavings.  Screens 
would still go to sleep and never wake up.

I haven't tried any of the latest multiseat projects yet (no hardware or

DPMS problem

Hi,

I got multiconsole with evdev working (again).
No kernel-patches,no modules. But the second
consoles screen doesn't wake up if it enters a dpms mode (suspend/off...).

Any clues how to solve this? Actualy disabling dpms helps but saving
energy would be cool.

X reinit code trapped

Hi, All!

	All nvidia cards sometimes cannot be initialzed
if multiple servers runs simultaneous. I create patch,
which disable SIGHUP disaster. Of course this patch is
not very _unix_ compatible. By defautl X server on
SIGHUP must do all duties, be we don't like some duties.
	After patch applying X on SIGHUP clean up client connections.
only. X authentification reset himself, because reread
actual user authentification file on each client connection.
Now X leave alone videocard on user logoff.
Paranoidal sysops must not use this patch.

new multi-user live cd and ubuntu packages

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

Hello,
I'm writing to announce the latest version of our live multi-user cd.=20
Just pop it in your machine, and if you have enough nvidia video
cards, keyboards, mice, and sound cards (USB sound cards work too) you
will have a multi-user system up and running in about 5 minutes with
no questions asked.
For more information and to download the .iso, check out:
http://groovix.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/KioskDemoDisc
and http://groovix.com/kiosk/
This version uses the open source nv driver and works very reliably.

Also, we have ubuntu .deb packages available that enable multi-user
operation on a normal Ubuntu hard drive install.  These should also
work with recent versions of Debian, mepis, linspire, etc. but we
haven't tried them.

To convert your normal Ubuntu install to a "Groovix" install with
other recommended packages and enhancements, you can download and run
http://groovix.com/ubuntu/breezy_setup.bash
and then run  /usr/bin/groovix_breezy_customer_install.bash to install
non-free software too.
see http://groovix.com/ubuntu/ for more details

OR, to just install our multi-user packages, Just add these to your
sources.list:
deb http://archive.groovix.net/ubuntu breezy main multiuser
deb http://archive.groovix.net/ubuntu breezy-security main multiuser
and then, you will need to install these packages:  slim-audio
slim-usb slim-video

PLEASE NOTE: these packages are still in "beta" mode and are not
perfect.  In particular, they overwrite key configuration files (after
backing them up) and don't reverse the changes on uninstall, so you
probably don't want to install them on your golden everyday use
install.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,

It is very simple. When DM sends SIGHUP to X, then function
Dispatch() break eternal cycle and return. Dispatch() is called
from dix/main.c main() function. X count each restart in the
variable serverGeneration. Our task is creation on additional
condition checking
	if(serverGeneration > 1 )
in the main() function. I think , beter is our paralel trying.
Seems screenInfo overwriting and InitOutput() must be disabled
when serverGeneration > 1.
May be only single dix/main.c main() function must be patched
and we got stable output over all X sessions. Output initialised
on X startup only.
Of course on Ctrl-Alt-Backspace X dies anyway.

No that isn't necessary. I don't know what percentage
of the multi-user systems have dualheads. I don't.

I have a TNT2 as AGP and an MX-440 as PCI. Runs great.

Put it in and run Fakegetty.

TNT2 as PCI, other as AGP

[Benjamin H. <bh...@ud...>]

Hi,

I own a TNT2 PCI VGA card. If I have any other AGP card as the first
card, is it possible to run a dualhead linux system?

Or all VGA cards needs to be dualhead?

Thanks,

Kdrive evdev support and Xephyr with evdev

[Ander C. de O. <an...@c3...>]

Hello,

I'm sending two patches for the xserver module.

The kdrive-evdev.patch adds support for evdev mouse and keyboard and=20
solves a Caps, Num and Scroll lock problem when the server is compiled=20
with XKB support.

The other one, kdrive-ephyr-evdev.patch, adds an option to the ephyr=20
kdrive xserver (-use-evdev) to use the evdev input driver instead of=20
getting events from the underlying X server. It also adds a -geometry=20
option.

All the IP addresses of the local machine  should work.
This includes 127.0.0.1 and any IP addresses the machine may also have
like multiple ethernet cards' and/or aliases.

I just tried FreeCiv, it allows logging into the same server even from
the same login on the same screen, server is on localhost, port 5555.
Just give different usernames for the different players.

Jean-Daniel:

The advanced release is on Debian.
So I figured out how to play and how to start the
dedicated server.

But how does each multi-seat player connect to it? The
setup wants an IP address.
