Re: How to do it ?

Hi
     May be You can run two XFree servers with new James's vt-manager.
You should configure VGA console Framebuffer console and Virtual
framebuffer under ruby.
If two keyboards is plugged in, one is binnded with VGA and second is
binded with Virtual fb.
So
/dev/tty1 - /dev/tty15 work with first keyboard
/dev/tty16 - /dev/tty32 work with second keyboard

You should run 1-st X server :
$startx -- :0  -xf86config 1-stXF86Config vt07

2-nd server:
$startx -- :1 -xf86config 2-ndXF86Config vt17


1-st server grab vt07 binded with 1-st keyboard.
2-nd server grab vt17 binded with 2-nd keyboard.

Current, in my end, I could choose XFree keyboard with simple vtxx command,
but my nvidia TNT2 (AGP) and 3DFX Voodoo3 (PCI) will not run simultaneous 2
X servers. I hope solve this with right X configuration. I use X 4.1.0
without any patch, because ruby vt-manager allow bind several keyboards
with sevral /dev/tty's.

No. But you can modify it to accept only one of the keyboards if you
need that.

If you want it connected to the console - yes.

Logitech devices

[Johann D. <de...@if...>]

Hi,

Today I bought two Logitech devices: the wingman force 3d and the 
cordless rumblepad.

Good news: after a few hours hacking, I think I managed to figure out 
most of the protocol used by thess devices. I haven't yet written any 
piece of code, so it's far from finished, but I am enthusiastic about my 
findings.

These two devices share the same principle: The cpu of the PC does most 
of the work. Thus periodic effects are simulated using constant effects, 
not unlike ffcfstress works. The joystick does have special packets for 
springs, though.

The rumble pad has two unmatched motors. That is, they are different. 
The left one seems to be able to produce large low-freq oscillations, 
the right one generates hi-freq small vibrations. Better, I noticed a 
packet my first attempt with alexander failed to reveal.

I hope I can get some piece of code to run this week end.

As I see, ns588 is targeted to ISA souncards.
I have Yamaha 724, which is PCI.
But, I've tryed ns588, it fails to insert with alsa driver,
and doesn't works with ymfpci from kernel.

According to Documentation/input/joystick.txt in the kernel sources, it 
seems you also need ns558.
I am not quite sure, as I don't have a gameport joystick myself, but I 
hope it helps...

How to do it ?

[svetljo <ga...@st...>]

so where to start ?

I'm having 2 local XFree users (see 
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser )
and i wanted to try the dj-tree and later ruby
these days i'm trying to merge 2.5.5-dj1 in linux-2.5.5-xfs-cvs (when 
i#m ready i'll try to add ruby ) ,
 i have some little glitches but it already boots, but i can not get my 
PS2 keyboard working
i have 2 mices ( PS2 and USB) and 2 keyboards (PS2 and USB), the second 
keyboard (USB) must not generate scancodes to the console so i have to 
turn input_keybdev off,  
it appears to me that in dj ( and may be  ruby too) input_keybdev is 
needed for PS2 keyboard support
so my questions are:

do i have to enable input_keybdev for PS2 keyboard

in case i do , how can i get the second keyboard not to generate 
scancodes to the normal console

and as i have SiS6326(PCI) and MatroxG550DH (AGP) , are dese cards 
ported to the new framebuffer API
can i use them with ruby

thanks a lot for any advice

ymfpci and Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D

[Ian D. <ia...@or...>]

Hi !
So, first of all, sorry for my poor English, it's not my native.
Please, read this letter to the end, and may be you could help me.
I'm trying to run my joystick 2 days. I sit up to the 3:00 at night.
:-)

I have Yamaha724 soundcard  and Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D
joystick.
Kernel - 2.4.17-k6 from the Debian.
So, I want to use joystick under linux.
I've made js0, js1 devices in /dev/input and link /dev/js0, /dev/js1 to
them.
Also i've made input devices.

I've trying a different combination of modprobing (adi, joydev, input,
gameport, etc)
lsmod - writes adi is unused.
It does'nt work.
I've looked at the source of kernel ymfpci, and found that it doesn't
support
joysticks.
I've download and install latest alsa-driver-0.9.0beta11.tar.bz2
(17 February 2002)
It have autodectection and support of joystick
(it's written in source
alsa-driver-0.9.0beta11/alsa-kernel/pci/ymfpci/ymfpci.c, ymfpci_main.c)

I've configured alsa and sound works.
Here is my fragment of my modules.conf
----------------------------------------------------------
post-install snd-ymfpci modprobe snd-pcm-oss
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-ymfpci
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
----------------------------------------------------------
I've trying again all modprobing for joystick, but it doesn't work.
What parameters I  must write in modules.conf  to use my joystick ?

Please, help me.
I'll be very, very thankful.

Well, since we can't move the button defines anymore, we'll have to

Have a look at ruby/linux/drivers/input/evdev.c in our CVS. This 
implements an input handler accepting force feedback events and ioctls.
You really don't need to do much to use it.
Evdev registers its own fops, which do what your handler does, plus 
other things.
You have to provide a few callbacks two support force feedback.
See ruby/linux/include/input.h
Interesting parts are input_dev::{event, upload_effect, erase_effect}

When a write to /dev/input/eventXX is done, evdev_write is called, which 
generates an event caught by your input_dev::event callback. This is 
used to stop/start effects playback.

When a ioctls is performed, evdev_ioctl is called, which in turns will 
call your
upload_effect or erase_effect callback.

The maximal number of effects that can be played at once is stored in 
input_dev::ff_effects_max. The supported effects are stored in the bit 
array called input_dev::ff_bit. Buttons that can trigger effects and 
axis that can render force effects are also listed here.

For an example of how to initialize the input_dev structure, you can 
look at iforce_init in 
ruby/linux/drivers/input/joysticks/iforce/iforce-main.c

I hope I did not forget anything. Don't hesitate to ask if necessary.

Johann,

You need to explain this further to me. I know most of the handler code is 
empty or could really be replaced/relocated but I do need to specify a fops 
to handle the writing to the device.

How would an alternative mechanism work?

It looks quite nice. Only one remark: why did you include your own input 
handler ? evdev could have done the work, couldn't it ?

Wll, I hope you meant send it to the list - so here it is - as MR Brown has

Well, my problem is that scancodes.h is supposed to be the reference for 
the various key translation tables, but if I use gencodes.c to regenerate 
the tables some differences show up that suggest some tables were 
hand-modified without updating scancodes.h. So if I blindly regenerate the 
tables, some mappings might get lost.

Actually, this will live in the linux-sh-dc tree at
http://sf.net/projects/linuxdc for awhile, so it can get proper testing,
etc.  Then I'll move it into ruby, unless you want to take care of it
directly.  I haven't been moving any Dreamcast stuff to ruby yet, since our
tree still hasn't split for 2.5.x (which is part of the reason why the
pvr2fb driver is bit-rotting as we speak ;).

Right now, you may want to make sure it's utilizing the 2.4.x FF API
correctly.
