Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. About Backstreet Ruby/ Ruby


Backstreet Ruby is a kernel patch for the Linux kernel. It is a back port to
Linux-2.4 of the Ruby kernel tree, which is developed by the Linux Console
Project. The aim of the Linux Console developers is to enhance and reorganize
the input, the console and the framebuffer subsystems in the Linux kernel, so
they can work independent from each other and to allow multi-desktop
development Linux-2.5 kernel. The new Input subsystem and the new Framebuffer
operation. All this is done in the Ruby kernel tree which is based on the
layer are already integrated in Linux-2.5 kernel, but as the main developer
rewrite of the framebuffer layer in Linux-2.5, the multi-desktop operation
will not be integrated in the next stable Linux kernel (Linux-2.6).

So Backstreet Ruby brings to the current stable Linux kernel (Linux-2.4) the
enhanced input subsystem and the ability to use multiple graphic cards and
multiple keyboards independently, in order to make multiple local XFree users
on a single PC system possible.

You can have multiple independent graphic cards and multiple independent

3.2. Notes on building your own kernel

There are some things I would like to mention, although I won't go in
details, as the Backstreet Ruby page on compiling the kernel discusses this

topic.
 1. You have to follow this order:
This is an inserted line
    Input support                                                            
    Console drivers                                                          
    Virtual Terminal support                                                 
                                                                             
   
    for all required options to be available/selectable.
This is a replaced line
 2. You have to use built in input support:
    Input device support --> Input devices (needed for keyboard, mouse,..)   
    Input device support --> Mouse support                                   
   
                                                                             
 3. I would suggest you also include at least one keyboard (built in - not as
    a module). You can also use modules, but I find it safer to be able to

    similar) to load the required modules.
    For AT/PS2 keyboards, turn on (not modules):
    Input device support --> Serial i/o support                              
    Input device support --> i8042 PC Keyboard controller                    
    Input device support --> Keyboards                                       
    Input device support --> AT keyboard support                             
                                                                             
   
    Input device support --> Keyboards                                       
    For a USB keyboard turn on (not modules):
    USB support --> support for USB                                          
    USB support --> USB Host Controller Drivers                              
    USB support --> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support            
    USB support --> HID input layer support                                  
                                                                             
   
 4. If you are new to Linux, do not try to patch an already patched kernel
    (heavily patched kernels like the ones that ship with most
    distributions). Use a kernel from [http://www.kernel.org] www.kernel.org,
    and take a look at the [http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/] Linux
    Kernel HOWTO.
   

Note Note                                                                    
     In Backstreet Ruby (the patch for a 2.4 Linux kernel) does not support  
     frame buffer devices , and for that reason is disabled.                 
This is a replaced line
     In Ruby (the patch for 2.6 Linux kernel) if you want to disable/ change 
     to modules support for PS2 input devices, you have to first activate/   
     enable "General setup --> Remove kernel features (for embedded systems)"

3.3. Creating needed device files
If you are not using the devfs file system, you might need to create several
kernel:
device files needed for the new input sub-system in the Backstreet Ruby

devfs.

Mandrake is an example of one distribution that uses devfs. Debian does not
use devfs by default, but the kernel supports devfs; in order to activate

3.5. Keyboard numbering(order of detection)

In the following chapters you will read about 1st keyboard, 2nd keyboard and
so on, so here I will explain what is meant by n-th keyboard.
This is an inserted line

When a keyboard device is found, it is bound to a free VT (given that there
are free VT's). The first keyboard found will be bound to VT0 (tty1-tty16),

the second to VT1 (tty17), the third to VT2 (tty18).
Note Note

     first keyboard found => VT0 (tty0-tty7)                                 
                                                                             
                                                                             
This is an inserted line
     third => VT2 (tty16-tty23)                                              

The order of detecting the keyboards depends on the configuration of your
kernel :
  * If you are using kernel with integrated USB input the USB keyboard
    devices will be registered first, then the AT/PS2 keyboards will follow
    when the modules are loaded
   
  * If you are using kernel with integrated PS2 input the AT/PS2 keyboard
    devices will be registered first, then the USB keyboards will follow when
    the modules are loaded
   
  * If you are using kernel with integrated PS2 & USB input the AT/PS2
    keyboard devices will be registered first, then the USB keyboards will
    follow
   

But there are some caveats:

common that the multimedia keys or the number-pad identify themselves as a

keys), the PS2 keyboard will be bound to VT2 (in case you have enough DUMB

There are several ways to work around these issues. Here I'll explain the
easiest way to follow. It's definitely not the best one, but the shortest
explanation, and I just want to make it clear to you that the problem is not

should find out which VT's the real keyboards are bound to (the keyboards
excluding the multimedia keys) and start X using the appropriate tty ranges.
Thanks to the proc interface integrated in Backstreet Ruby, you can easily
find the assignment of keyboards to VT's. Each VT creates a file /proc/bus/
VT1 - 01, ... , for VT11 - 11); reading this file will give you the assigned

This is an inserted line
   
This is an inserted line
  * USB keyboard (multimedia keys) is bound to VT1
   
  * PS2 keyboard is bound to VT2
   

Now we can start X on the VT's with real keyboards, in this case VT0 and VT2.

Of course in this simple example with only 2 keyboards (one USB and one PS2)
support. The PS2 keyboard would be found first and bound to VT0, the USB
keyboard would follow and it's real keyboard interface would be bound to VT1,
so there is no need for additional dumb consoles (for the multimedia
interfaces of USB keyboards).

4.1. Do I need a modified X server?

     For some video cards you can skip this part. Before installing the      
Note Note                                                                    
     modified X server check the Video Compatibility list to determine       
     whether you need one. Currently there are reports for working           
     configurations without using a modified X server for Voodoo Graphics as 
     primary and Voodoo3 or Nvidia TNT2 as secondary.                        
"Why should a modified X server be used?" - The reason is that XFree is

designed to serve a single user and this design requires a single X server to
drive all available graphic cards. So when an unmodified X server starts, it
disables access to graphic cards for other X servers. Hence we have to modify
XFree to make it possible more then one X server to run at the same time.

  * "The experimental way": you can use the "hackvideo"(ignoring pci_disable
    you to use the XFree server that came with your distribution (no need for
    XFree commands) feature of the Backstreet Ruby kernel. This will allow
    installing modified XFree server).
   
   
    Q: "Why experimental?"
    A: Well, you have to find out whether it works with your combination of
    graphic cards. There are some combination that works flawlessly, but the
    majority of tested combinations have problems with this setup.

        Have in mind that for the older Preferred Bus ID XFree Server        
        (version 1) you have to specify the desired graphic card with        
        parameter "-prefbusid x:x:x" where x:x:x is the Bus ID of the desired
        graphic card. Just append "-prefbusid x:x:x" with the correct Bus ID 
        of the card you want to start right before the last argument vt[x].  
        If you omit this option the modified X server will act as a not      
        modified/ standard XFree server and you wont be able to run multiple 
        XFree instances at the same time.

You shouldn't use /dev/input/mice because it merges the input from all mouse

(or reusing Xinerama configured XFree)


There could be several reasons for not using DRI:

  * The Nvidia closed source driver does not support DRI.

In case one of this reasons applies to your system, you do not need different
XFree configuration files for the different displays.

You can configure your system for Xinerama using the tools provided with your
distribution and reading [http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/
index.html] The Xinerama-HOWTO, so when the system is used by a single user,
he/she could switch to Xinerama desktop and use all available displays for a
bigger desktop.

Once configured for Xinerama, only small additions are needed to achieve

Now you can start a single X server with option -layout Xinerama and enjoy
the Xinerama desktop, or

You can start 2 independent X servers using -layout first-Xserver for the
first, and -layout second-Xserver for the second.

Since you will use a single XFree configuration file for all X servers,

  * in order to use independent keyboards you have to use following command:
   
    For 1st X server with the 1st keyboard:
   
    $ startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X0 :0 -layout first-Xserver vt7
   
    For 2nd X server with the 2nd keyboard:
   
    $ startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X1 :1 -layout second-Xserver vt17
   
   
    and if you want to use Xinerama:
    $ startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X -layout Xinerama vt7

I'll explain several ways to get configuration working for both Nvidia GLX
and XFree86 DRI. There are probably a lot of other possibilities, and maybe
these are not the simplest, but they are the ones I know to work.

The reasons why this is needed:

 1. Nvidia should use a different module path for xf86: the glx extension
    module from Nvidia is incompatible with the one from XFree86.

 2. Nvidia should use a different XF86Config file: because DRI should be

4.7.2. Example 2

This example will give you the full performance of both the Nvidia card(s),
and the non-Nvidia card, since XFree's libGL is used for the non Nvidia card,
and Nvidia's libGL is used for Nvidia cards. But this will require one more X
server to be precise; a simple wrapper to add the path to the Nvidia
libraries, and symbolic links to it for additional Nvidia cards.

It is almost the same as the previous scenario, with the difference that the
X servers for the Nvidia cards should start with an environment where
Nvidia's libGL is known, while the X servers for non Nvidia cards shouldn't
know anything about the Nvidia libGL. This requires a wrapper to be used for
starting the X servers driving Nvidia cards.

Install the Nvidia libraries and kernel driver like in the previous example.
You may skip step 4. as libGLcore.so.1 is installed in /usr/X11R6/libNV, and

The missing part - the wrapper :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/libNV                                      
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X0 $*                                                    
                                                                             

Copy these lines into your favourite editor and save the file as XNV. Make it
executable:
chmod +x XNV


Copy the file to /usr/X11R6/bin and make symbolic links to it for additional
Nvidia cards (for additional cards just add more links):
cp XNV /usr/X11R6/bin

    On my Mandrake system I can use:
    find lib -name "libGL.*" -o -name "libGLcore*" -o -name "libglx.*" | xargs tar  rpfv   libGL-backup.tar

Chapter 5. More on configuring input devices

Here you will find more details on configuring input devices and dealing with
secondary keyboard interfaces found in USB multimedia keyboards.

If you feel comfortable under Linux, please review and test the experimental
service ruby_init. The service, the configuration file and the README can be
found in Appendix D. Any kind of feedback is highly appreciated. (Please,
please drop a line with comments. :-) )
Note Note                                                                    

     If you are configuring a system with two displays( 2 keyboards, 2 mice) 
     you probably can skip to Chapter 6 "Configuring display managers", but  
     if you want to use a single system for more users you will find really  
     useful information in this chapter.

5.1. Finding the real devices

We will need this information later on, to be able to assign a given keyboard
/mouse to a given X-server/Display.

To find the PHYS ID's (the addresses) or the name(quite oft it differs from
the one labeled on the device) of your input devices you have to read the
file /proc/bus/input/devices.

Here is what I have:

  * if you have input devices with the same names, to use them with the same

        Currently hot-plugging doesn't seems to work properly. I have reports
        that it works when using the "Dev Name" option, but my primary       
        purpose was to get it working with "Dev Phys" and this does not      
        currently seem to work. "Why "Dev Phys"?" - because if one wants to  
        setup a single system for 4,5 or more users it would be easier to get
        4,5 or more pieces of the same keyboard/ mouse then to find the same 
        number keyboards or mice but from different manufacturer or with     
        different names, and i find configuring XFree for such number users  
        is simpler when "Dev Phys" is used.                                  

This is a replaced line
        This section is somewhat abandoned and is not tested under Ruby-2.6  
        as it didn't work reliably for me.                                   

For this to work you will have to use XFree with the patches for event
following url: [http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/] http://
interface support, developed by Zephaniah Hull. You can find them at the
people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/.

To build from source you will need the following patches :

   
  * 029_lnx_evdev.diff : The evdev core patch.
  * 030_lnx_evdev_mouse.diff : The mouse side of the patch.
This is a replaced line
  * 031_lnx_evdev_keyboard.diff : The keyboard side of the patch.
   
This is an inserted line

The binaries for Debian include these patches.
For hot-plugging you will also need the /etc/hotplug/input.agent , which you

can find under the above address and in Appendix Scripts

Then you have to configure XFree to use the event devices.

The configuration section for a mouse should look something like this:

6.1. Configuring xdm and kdm
This is an inserted line

If everything is working now, it's time to setup the automatic starting of X
on all displays. For xdm and kdm you have to modify one single file. For a
Red Hat-like system this would be /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers; for other
distributions check whether this file exists. If not, find your XFree86
configuration directory, and in it you'll find xdm/Xservers.

6.2. Configuring gdm

Gdm, as a complete rewrite of xdm, uses its own configuration file, /etc/X11/

add additional X servers for the number of cards you have.

     In case you do not use devfs, you may need to create additional device  
     files. Take a look at [http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO/index.html]
     The Linux Sound HOWTO, for information on how to setup additional sound 
     cards.

We have to specify different sound devices for the different Xsessions/
Displays. This is done by using the following options of aRts daemon ([http:/

/www.arts-project.org/] http://www.arts-project.org/):
  * By OSS-free sound driver:
    -D /dev/dsp[n]

    where n is the number of the sound card.
This is a replaced line
  * By Alsa sound driver:
    -a alsa -D hw:[n],0                                                      
    where n is sound card id.
   
   

Add these lines to your Window Manager start-up script (of course, with the
proper arguments for your setup):
real_display=`echo $DISPLAY | sed "s/://" | sed "s/\..*//"`                  
case "$real_display" in                                                      
        artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -D /dev/dsp -s 5 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f &

7.2. Customising the login screen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.2.1. Using xdm

Copy /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_1. For additional X

servers, create the file(s) /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_[n], where n is the number of
the X server starting from 0.

 1. Modify the line containing the background image, to adjust the path to
    your image for the 2nd X server:
    if [ -r /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/default.png -a -x /usr/bin/qiv ]; then 
    ....

    You can also specify a different background color, with:
    #if [ -r /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/flower.jpg -a -x /usr/bin/qiv ]; then 
    ....

#the same like XF86Config but for gdm.conf & Xservers

for i in xdm/Xservers gdm/gdm.conf; do                                                   
        DumbCon=`sed -n 's/.*dumbcon=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' /proc/cmdline`                   
        [ -n "$DumbCon" ] || DumbCon=0                                                   
        [ -r "/etc/X11/$i.$DumbCon" ] && ln -sf "/etc/X11/$i.$DumbCon" "/etc/X11/$i"     
done                                                                                     
    fi

This will adjust the proper /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.config
according to the boot line argument dumbcon=n (remember n+1= number of X
users/sessions).
You have to create the configuration files following these assumptions:


"i" only stands for /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver and /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.

  * "i.0" is used for a single X server, when dumbcon=n is not specified, or
   
    dumbcon=0.
  * "i.1" is used by the display manager when dumbcon=1 is specified.
   
  * "i.2" is used by the display manager when dumbcon=2 is specified.
   
  * "i.3" is used by the display manager when dumbcon=3 is specified.
   

...and so on.

Therefore:

  * "i.0" should contain the definition only of your original standard X
    server.
   
  * "i.1" should contain the definitions for 2 X servers.
   
  * "i.2" should contain the definitions for 3 X servers.
   
   
  * ...and so on.

If you boot without dumbcon=n or with dumbcon=0 (for example a standard
kernel), your display manager will start a single X server with the
corresponding XF86Config file.

If you start with dumbcon=1 the display manager will automatically start 2 X
servers.

If you start with dumbcon=2, when booting is finished you'll get 3 login
prompts on your 3 displays.

Keep in mind that each X server should have it's own configuration file, and
it should be specified in the display manager configuration file properly.
Take a look at the configuration files before restarting with an activated

    Rebuild console-tools-19990829-40.src.rpm using rpmbuild --rebuild
    console-tools-19990829-40.src.rpm. You can find the source rpm on [http:/

    always get:

    But everything else seems okay.
