RE: CR and DMX not working correctly

Never mind - my problem - it appears that I'm not defining the nodes in
the correct order in the dmx.conf file.

	Subject: [Chromium-users] CR and DMX not working correctly
	
	

	I trying to get CR working on DMX. I have DMX working and
compiled CR (version 1.7) for DMX. 

	Symptom: not all tiles show the OpenGL output: 

	Hardware: 6 dual AMD node, 8 GB Ram, FX3000 graphics. Each node
displays to left and right LCD panels, each at 1280 x 1024. They are
arranged in an array of 3 rows of 4 LCD's. The video output is as
follows:

	 n2-L n2-R n5-L n5-R 
	 n1-L n1-R n4-L n4-R 
	 n0-L n0-R n3-L n3-R 
	Where 'n#' is node name (houbl40#, # = [0-5]) and L and R are
the left and right channels. 

	I modified the dmx.conf file for my area - it is attached. 
	<<wrv_dmx.conf>> 

	The relevant portion of the DMX setup is: 
	virtual big { 
	  display houbl402:0 2560x1024 @0x0; 
	  display houbl401:0 2560x1024 @0x1024; 
	  display houbl400:0 2560x1024 @0x2048; 
	  display houbl405:0 2560x1024 @2560x0; 
	  display houbl404:0 2560x1024 @2560x1024; 
	  display houbl403:0 2560x1024 @2560x2048; 
	  option +xinerama -fontpath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
-fontpath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi -fontpath
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi ; }

	I followed the directions  for manually running chromium from
the web page. I'm running the 'city' demo. 

	Here's what I'm seeing: 

	For a window about 600x600, displays correctly only in the
middle row of displays. Nothing is displayed in the others. So the
output on houbl401 and 404 are ok. For the other displays, I get the
following warning:

	CR Warning(houbl400:26244): Total output dimensions = (5120,
3072) 
	CR Warning(houbl400:26244): render SPU's render_to_app_window
option is set but the application window ID 0x5400002 is invalid on the
display named houbl400:0.0 

	This is repeated for houbl402 and houbl403. For houbl405, I
don't get a warning, but I do get a black screeen. I do not get these
warning on the two that are working.

	I also get this when I run crappfaker: 

	CR Warning(houbl400:26251): Total output dimensions = (5120,
3072) 
	CR Warning(houbl400:26251): Tilesort bucket_mode = Non-Uniform
Grid, but tiles don't form a non-uniform grid! Falling back to Test All
Tiles mode. 

	I looked for the GL_CR_dmx extension and cannot find it. 

	When I resize the window to cover all the outputs, I get
essentially the same thing - the middle row is rendering correctly. One
additional observation is that whats rendering in the upper right two
display is what should be in the lower right two displays. The upper and
lower left two display are garbage.

	I also tried tiletest, but all I got was a garbage window or
black. It indicated that it drew 0 triangles and that can't be correct.
I never got anything to display correctly for tiletest.

	Also, I am looking at the autodmx.conf and it refers to a
'crsite' file but that doesn't seem to exist and doesn't indicate how to
set it up. Is this the same as the crconfigs referred to in the docs
page?

	Thanks in advance for you help,
