*** Bug 971 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'm using XFree 3.3.3.1 on a SparcServer 4. It has the onboard TCX and a single-slot GX card, both of which are 8-bit color framebuffers. Xsun will start on both heads and even let me send clients to display :0.1, but as soon as I send something to :0.0 it dumps core. I'm using kernel 2.0.35-15 (built from the rpms on your ftp site). Things work fine when I use either head as a separate X display. This problem only evidences itself when I try to start up Xsun in a dual-headed configuration. ------- Additional Comments From pbrown 03/22/99 16:04 ------- Jeff, do you know of any patches to fix this issue? ------- Additional Comments From jbj 04/09/99 14:34 ------- We'll try to fix this in XFree86-4.0. It smells like a fbcon issue for the multi-head bug and thus a kernel bug. I have two cg6's so I can work on this locally. The garbled bottom screen issue is easy to solve for me too, since I have an Ultra1 machine which exhibits the behavior. I have fixed the second issue, garbled contents at bottom of screen. It was a kernel bug and will be in the next kernel updates. It was also UltraSparc specific. I will try to address the multi-head issue right now since I finally have two cards in the CG6 family. I have discovered and fixed the multi-head bug as well. A bug in the LBX extension in the X server caused it to corrupt memory when more than one screen existed. This is not surprising because whoever coded the most recent changes in the Xfree86-3.3.x LBX area had no chance to test it, since only the Sparc servers support multi-head and none of the PCI etc. ones do. I am sending the fix to the Sparc and Xfree86 package maintainers. Once both a kernel and X update is posted with these fixes, this bug can be closed finally. fixes are now integrated. I see that as of 8.31.99 the bug fixes for this problem have been integrated. However, I cannot find the updated build for the appropriate RPM's. I am also having this problem on an Sparc Ultra1. I downloaded updates for XFree86-3.3.3.1-52.sparc.rpm XFree86-Sun*-3.3.3.1-52.sparc.rpm XFree86-Mach64-3.3.3.1-52.sparc.rpm but from all update sites, build 52 is dated around June 14. Where can I get the latest build that integrates these fixes? Thanks in advance, Dave Alderson alderd |
