event processing broken ??

Hi All,

I installed recently XFree86 4.1 and got some strange problems.

  • At startup I have to produce mouse events in order to get a start of
    XFree86 in a normal time frame … if I don’t move the mouse the start
    takes minutes after showing the first raw graphical screen :frowning:

  • After starting the twm … all characters typed into a terminal window
    appear only after moving the mouse. This happens also with all graphical
    changes on the screen.

  • Keyboard events and click events of the mouse don’t produce the same
    result …

What’s the problem … where to look into the sources ?

I can create all binaries which are not specific to the OS support of NTO.

Best regards and a Happy New Year!
Armin

this sounded like a problem with the mouse driver. what type of
mouse do you have? how did you start the “devi-hirun”?
have you read all the mailing list archives on setting up ?

as for the source, all the patches have been submitted to the
xfree86 and are already committed to the current CVS. you can
either checkout the cvs
http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/
or just want for the release of xfree86 4.2 (in a week or two).

I read it … the mouse is working perfectly

I will wait for 4.2.

I assume you can now run XFree86 4.1 without a problem.

I will wait for 4.2.

I just commited more patches yesterday: some minor changes
for QNX6, and lots of major changes for QNX4!! I am actually
running XFree86 4.x on QNX4.25 right now.
XFree86 4.2 is scheduled to be released next week. Both QNX4 and
QNX6 will be supported officially in 4.2.
I will do a final build this weekend to iron out some final glitches
which may be caused by the CVS merging.

No, it’s a pity … I have still to move the mouse around just to get the
screen updated.
I run the Rage 128 adapter … is this problem related to it ?

At the moment … I don’t have the time to care about it …

Sounds very good, Frank
