MAF> Hi Dimitar.
Hi. Long time no hear.

Tnanks.

Does it work with the framebuffer enabled under the same circumstances? What's the video driver?
MAF> In my Toshiba with XFree86 4.3.0:

I didn't quite understood that. If the entire screen (the one before ./xdemogrx?) is now in a window, then what's on the rest of it, that is, outside that window? Empty?
MAF> I managed to run "./xdemogrx 1024 768 24" and it MAF> works, but funny things happen with the input, like MAF> if you have pressed the Return key all the time.
I have such a problem, but only when running xfce4. TWM and IceWM are OK - gtk+2 dependency here? Tried to solve it with absolutely no success. All DGA 1/2 examples fail the same way as well, so it's not a vd_xfdga.c error. DGA is unstable, as noted... It'll be replaced in XFree86-5.
Anyone else tested that? I can send you the DGA examples.
Hi again, I will try to make a better report about testing the DGA driver:
In my desktop, PII 350, Mandrake 8.2, KDE, XFree86 4.2.0, Vodoo3 driver (tdfx) There is no difference compiling with or without framebuffer enabled. Running "./xdemogrx", I see a black screen only. When I press Escape it returns to X succesfuly, but if I change to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and to X again (Alt+F7) the screen resolution was changed from 1024*768 to 640*480 and only part of the X display is visible. Running "./xdemogrx 1024 768 24", a black screnn again. pressing Escape and it returns to X succesfuly to the correct resolution, no problems now if changing to console and returning to X.
In my Laptop, Celeron 800, Fedora 1, Gnome, XFree86 4.3.0, Trident Cyberblade driver (trident) There is no difference compiling with or without framebuffer enabled. Running "./xdemogrx", it works, the graphics output is placed in the top-left, the rest of the TFT screen (1024*768) is black, mouse and keyboard seems to work, except autorepeat doesn't work. I can run the rest of the test programs without problems, but now the graphics output is centered. Pressing Escape and returns to X, but only a 640*480 windows of the X-desktop is visible. Running "./xdemogrx 1024 768 24" and it works, but now is like if you have the Return key pressed all the time, no control possible, pressing Escape for a while and returns to X with the correct resolution.

Please send me the DGA examples. The conclusion seems to be your driver is OK, but DGA doesn't works well in all plattforms. Do you have a link to the main site for DGA?, I found nothing in Google.
