Wow! Look what we have to start the month of April with ..

Thanks goes to Curaga for TinyX Accelerated Servers:

Xchips.tar.gz

Xi810.tar.gz
Xmach64.tar.gz
Xsavage.tar.gz
Xsis530.tar.gz
Xtrident.tar.gz
Xtrio.tar.gz
Xts300.tar.gz
Xvesa.tar.gz


Now posted in the testing area.
Read the info files for further information.
I'm not sure I fully understand this - the info file for Xi810 says:
Quote
This is a tiny X server, but with acceleration for Intel i810. Use if you don't want to get the full X, but have this card (or if the driver in XFree 4.3.0 is too old or doesn't exist [this is from 4.6.0]).
Not a Click-And-Play extension, you got to change Xvesa in .xserverrc to /opt/bin/Xi810

1. Does this mean that I replace my current XFree86 4.3.0 i810 driver with this one?
or
2. Do I forget about XFree86 and use the this driver with the DSL tiny X server?

If 1 above is correct, this sounds interesting - if 2 above is correct, I believe I would run into the Intel 855 memory problem (solved by 855wrap) and would not be able to use the synaptics driver for my Alps touchpad/pointing stick
Juanito:

It is the X server, so if you have it, you don't need Xfree or Xvesa..

I don't think you could use the synaptics driver, because it's for full Xfree (it doesn't work with Xvesa either)

The Xi810 doesn't have the full i810 driver - it only supports the i810 (so no i830 or i855...)
The other TinyX servers do have the full drivers (I think, I only could test vesa, fb and i810)

For others:
With the newer Xvesa and Xfbdev it is possible to change the refresh rate, which is the main reason I made them too besides the other accelerated TinyX...
Extension: gtk+-2.10.9
Found I had corrupted something with my last update, so I had to recompile the whole thing. Also added the gconv ISO8859 from the 'gnu-utils' package to get rid of all those UTF-8 to iso-8859-1 conversion errors. It also seemed to fix a GAIM bug.
