Xfbdev

[Juanito]

As said above, I believe @coreplayer2 has Xfbdev working with an hd4000, but there is corruption when dragging a window right.

[coreplayer2]

Xfbdev working great now on Intel HD Graphics 4000  [8086:0166] (rev 09)  (Mac mini, late 2012)

The previous Xfbdev version exhibited video corruption when dragging a window from right to left.   

The latest Xfbdev (thanks juanito) md5 8e44ad536eda290142caa2d6e7d6b373  works great with flwm and flwm_topside    Also the speed of window movement is not impaired any.

Have my Hitachi 4Gb Micro Drive in USB reader with Pure64 with xorg7.6 and xf86-video-all

That was working perfectly fine on AMD machine with nVidia GS8400 graphics

And now it is working perfectly on Gigabyte GA-Z77N-Wifi board & i3 3225 with Intel HD 4000 with full HD resolution via HDMI
No issue of any kind with no windows corruption etc

It seems that the latest firefox (51.0.1) doesn't work well with the Xfbdev server.
Every button on the toolbar is unclickable.
Firefox works well under Xorg, not sure about Xvesa.
Any idea ?

[Juanito]

If you start firefox from a terminal window, do you see any error messages?

Anything in dmesg or syslog or /tmp/wm_errors?

Is the libXi (or possibly libinput) extension loaded?

You can get rid of several of the other warnings by loading the adwaita-icon-theme extension.

After some testing, I found out that:
1. "adwaita-icon-theme" is unnecessary for the toolbar buttons to work, it's not a part of the dep of Xorg-7.7
2. It doesn't look like a case of missing dependencies
3. Running firefox under Xorg-7.7 also gets the same warning

Code: [Select]

### boot code "base"
tce-load -i aterm wbar Xlibs Xfbdev Xprogs firefox flwm_topside
startx
### buttons unclickable ...
tce-load -i Xorg-7.7
### with Xfbdev still running, unclickable ...
kill `cat /tmp/.X0-lock`
startx
### buttons become functional while the terminal output remains the same.

Edit:
It may have something to do with gtk3

firefox-ESR (45.6.0) has the dep with gtk2 and the toolbar works just fine.

However, running firefox (51.0.1) with both gtk2 and gtk3 under Xfbdev doesn't help.

Hi,

where can I ever find source project for Xfbdev??
I tried google as usual 'Xfbdev source download' expecting for sourceforge or github links but, no thing!

[Scampada]

Looks like it's GLX disabled in the default TC Xfbdev package. I can't run applications requiring GLX, (and in Xorg they're not working too, strange... But this is off topic)

GLX cannot be enabled in the tiny X servers at all.

[Scampada]

I knew it. I traced the game process and found it that the application was sending GLX requests to X socket then X returned "No GLX here bro". I also found out that TinyX doesn't support GLX at all. Yet just few moments ago I viewed this in my Google output and hoped for best...



PS Do you know other lightweight alternate X server which does support GLX and synaptics but doesn't clutter with unnecessary dependencies? Is it Wayland or something?
