Dear members,
I have a problem with running XFree. I have cross-compiled XFree
version 4.3.0 for mips platform successfully. "make install" command
has created libraries under "/usr/X11R6/lib" and binaries under
"/usr/X11R6/bin". I also copied resultant Xfbdev from
"/build/programs/Xserver" to "usr/X11R6/bin". I set DISPLAY and
required paths with this small script:
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/X11R6/lib
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
Then I try to run Xfbdef with "Xfbdev &". It actually starts as a
process ("ps aux" shows that it has started), but somehow I cannot see
anything on the screen. I used many sample programs under
"/tmp/usr/X11R6/bin", such as xlogo, xload, xcalc, etc... All of them
runs, but I have nothing on the screen. For example, here is the
output of the xperf (After starting Xfbdev as deamon):
none) # x11perf -all
x11perf - X11 performance program, version 1.5
Keith Packard server version 600300 on 127.0.0.1:0.0

and goes like that till it finished the performance test, but I see
nothing on the screen. Let me give another example, xcalc:
(none) # xcalc &
(none) # Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Warning: Cannot convert string "8x13" to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-symbol-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
I got some font warnings but I assume they are not important. When I
run "ps aux" afterwards, I see xclac is started:
root 939 0.0 1.6 4148 852 ttyS1 Ss 23:37 0:00 -/bin/sh -i
root 957 12.0 3.2 5864 1688 ttyS1 S 23:51 0:39 Xfbdev
root 998 3.3 3.8 8108 2000 ttyS1 S 23:56 0:00 xcalc
root 1001 10.0 1.8 3600 972 ttyS1 R+ 23:56 0:00 ps aux
The screen is black empty. I am trying to get the display from a TFT
screen that is connected to my mips system with SCART (composite video
is used). What might be the problem? It seems a video mode problem,
but I could not find a solution. I am dealing with this problem for
weeks, please help me. "cat /proc/fb" gives:
(none) # cat /proc/fb
0 3rdparty X9812
Also, here are the shell outputs when I try to run Xfbdev:
(none) # Xfbdev &
(none) # Could not init font path element
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,
removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,
removing from list!
