X segfaulting all the time

I'm trying to get X running on a brand new NetBSD box. But .. it seems to
segfault basically everytime at the exact same place (InitOutput()).

Furthermore, nothing in the XFree log, except that the segfault always occurs
after setting some MTRR stuff ..
And there are plenty of unresolved symbols. They didn't used to be there, but
I've been trying to compile a more recent CVS version, and ..
Of course I'd be happy to provide more information, if someone would be so
kind to tell me how to get it out of that freaking box :)

I've been switching hd's and video cards, doing X -configure's and making up
XF86Config's, but things keep crashing at the same spot ..

Thx in advance

XFree 4.3


It looks like the XFree 4.3 final push is under way -- we should make
sure we get as many of our patches to them as possible...

Yes, you are right. But patches should be submitted as soon as possible
and not on the verge of a XFree86 release.

	Kind regards

Where did you get these X11 binaries respectively source from? It looks
like something is terribly wrong with the driver module.

	Kind regards

?Simple? X-11 question...

Hello;

  This may or may not be do-able.  I would like to plop an image onto the root display - a 'splash' of sorts - as a
'windowless' object.  I've so far been able to create the image, but am unable to display it.

  I am attempting to use XPutImage onto DefaultRootWindow(MyWidget) (where MyWidget is a working widget in
my app).  The failure reported is that my GC is invalid.  (The GC was fine for creating the image - just not for
displaying it.)

  Would you happen to have a code snippet on hand that you could share?  Or, alternatively, a suggestion where I
might find such direction?

Thank you in advance!
Randal

You should take a look at the source of "xsetroot" which are available
in the directory "xsrc/xc/programs/xsetroot" of NetBSD's X11 sources.

	Kind regards

XFree86-4.2.1 build with 1.6N

Anyone try installing 4.2.1 from ftp.netbsd.org
with -current(1.6N) and Netbsd.cf, Xthreads.h changes in place?
I seem to have a 'screwed up' font issue in any program running
in X, (xterm font, mozilla etc...).[alpha 164LX box]

It work's fine for me.

NetBSD-i386 here. Is XFree86 4.2.x supported for NetBSD-alpha at all?
So far only i386, x86_64, macppc and cats use it by default.

	Kind regards

fontconfig and /etc/font/ on NetBSD ?

Hi,

While preparing the XFree86 4.3 release for NetBSD I'm wondering what
to do about the new /etc/fonts directory introduced by Keith Packard's
'fontconfig' utility. In keith's mind this is meant to be used by more
than just the X server (printing application may also use it to get
their fonts for instance), hence the system wide location. 

Given that NetBSD is already setting UseSeparateConfDir to NO to avoid
installing things in /etc/X!1, should the fontconfig dir also be moved
to /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts on NetBSD ?

I believe the reason we set UseSeperateConfDir to NO, is to avoid
increasing the size of /etc 10-fold, by filling it up with
app-defaults and other files not meant to be edited by the end user.
There's nothing wrong with adding a configuration file or two to /etc.
That's what /etc is for.
