Servidor X Frame Buffer para S3 Trio3D y otras no soportadas
Hola. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda; ya he conseguido hacer funcionar aceptablemente (no óptimamente) mi tarjeta S3 Trio 3D 4 MB en X-Window, y tengo el KDE y todo; mi monitor es un Philips 15C de 15. On Mon, 25 Jan 1999, Jose Luis Trivino wrote: Hola, El frame buffer es una manera de controlar el hardware de video a traves de unos drivers instalados en el nucleo que utilizan el estandar VESA. Esto hace a los servidores X independientes del hardware. Si quieres informacion te recomiendo que te bajes los fuentes del nucleo 2.2.0-prela ulima y mires en Documentation/fb. Te describe que es el FB y (muy ligeramente) como usarlo. Basicamente los pasos a seguir para usarlo son: 1. Recompilar este nucleo (los 2.0.x no sirven) con soporte para FB (esto es facil). 2. Actualizar todos los paquetes que necesita el nucleo (vienen descritos en el fichero Documentation/Changes) 3. Utilizar un servidor X para frame buffer. Esto es lo que yo estoy intentando hacer ahora, pero no consigo que me arranque el servidor. A ver si te decides a instalar FB y me hechas una mano. Este servidor lo puedes encontrar en cualquier mirror de xfree86. Bien, parece que la clave está en el parámetro vga = número del /etc/lilo.conf. Sólo funciona con ciertos valores. Yo he puesto: vga = 773 que corresponde al modo 0305: 1024×768/8 bpp (256 c). Haces lilo, rearrancas y listo. En consola me tengo que dar puñetazos en los ojos para ver algo, pero como ya funciono con el KDE, me da iguá. En mi /etc/X11/XF86Config no he puesto nada especial: modes = default.

Re: CD Burning

I wanted to master my own CD that way. I unfortuneatly only have a DOS/Windows95 machine to work with. Does anyone know of a dos or windows cd-writer that will accept raw formatted files. I have Adaptec CD Creator for win95 and it doesn't like them. Any thoughts would be very helpful. I am looking forward to getting my feet wet with Linux. What I used to use before I was enlightened and started to use linux for writing, was a package called cdr-win available from www.goldenhawk.com. If these raw files are just a direct data dump from /dev/cdwhatever then they're iso format. Cdrwin can write iso formatted files (in fact, I did that all the time) I believe there is a shareware version of it with either a small cripple (maybe only 1x writes) or an expiry (should be long enough to get you running debian). But my advice would be to download the base system on floppies, install it, download the cdrecord package, and burn the cd's in linux. ps. if the commandline to burn them is something like # cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 cdimage.raw then they're iso format and cdrwin can write them. hope this helps. -Dan

I tried changing the color values and even took the D off Debian to see if that would have an effect but it didn't. I also tried a reboot instead of ctr-alt-backspace to see if that would set the file. There is no man page for this file. The file isn't executable but I don't think it should have to be. The only conclusion I have is the file isn't being used but I can find no other file for the login screen. Anyone know what is going on here and how I can change the login screen color? I found one source that said to put xsetroot -solid color in the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup file. I tried that and no effect either. Thanks, Kent

Could not find kernel image and other install problems
Having managed a trial install of Debian, I'm trying to get the kinks out. Original problem: The standard install had problems formatting and recognizing my 13.6 Gig disk. I assume this is a limitation of cfdisk. I used fdisk from another window and then rebooted to get things going. Because I wasn't sure all was well, and because I like making things work, I thought I'd try giving the loader the hard drive geometry. Which led to Second problem: When I boot off the CheapBytes CD and type hd=26353,16,63 It responds Could not find kernel image: hd=23353.,16 I have tried some variants, including default hd=, and hda=... but they all produce the same response. I've found a few other messages with this error message, but none of them indicate how to handle a standard install. It sounds as if I need to say hd=. where xxx is some image name. But I'm not sure what xxx is. So I'd appreciate answers to any or all of the following questions: 1) How do I specify hard drive geometry to the loader for the inital install? 2) If I do specify such parameters, will it help cfdisk? 3) If I don't, but use fdisk, will the rest of the install be OK (as long as I honor the installation guides warnings to activate paritions via the installer GUI)? P.S. I preferred the greater control fdisk gave anyway, so I didn't just have to put things at the beginning or end of my free space.

My /etc/X11/Xresources is a directory?!
Hi, I had recently posted an email complaining that my RXVT and xterm do not refresh when I scroll them resulting in unreadable lines of text. I did not get any response and I thought I would in the meantime fix another problem wherein backspace was not working. I had read in the archives that this problem was seen by others and tried one solution to no avail. Then I was looking at the X Strike Force web page and thought I would change the terminal type in /etc/X11/Xresources as specified in that web page. I tried to edit that file and found out that it is a directory on my system. This directory contains two files, xbase and xbase-clients. The contents of the files are: :: xbase :: ! /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase ! load color-specific resources for clients that have them #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif ! make Xaw (Athena widget set) clients understand the delete key *Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta KeyDelete: delete-next-character() :: xbase-clients :: ! /etc/X11/Xresources/xbase-clients Is there something wrong here? Should Xresources be a file or should it be a directory or can it be either?

hdb: timeout waiting for DMA
hdb: irq timeout : status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdb: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success
It doesn't seem to cause data loss, but it does tend to worry me.
TIA for any info on this.

2.2.0 kernel broke sound
Before upgrading to kernel 2.2.0, I had sound working perfectly. I have a SoundBlaster AWE 32 plug'n'play (ISA). With my 2.0.x kernels, I used isapnp, then loaded sound as a module (automatically by kerneld). With the 2.2.0 kernel, I've tried all of the following: * kernel 2.2.0 plug'n'play support (and no isapnp), both with sound as a module and built-in to the kernel * disable kernel 2.2 p'n'p support, and tried to use isapnp, both with sound as a module and built-in to the kernel. I get the following error when I try to use play (i.e. sox) to play a .wav file: sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Operation not supported by device When I try to play an .mp3 file with mpg123, I get the following error: Can't open /dev/dsp! These errors occur both as root, and as a normal user. My only guess is that I have sound somehow configured incorrectly, but it's beyond me... Here's the output of at cat /dev/sndstat, which should obviously have more to it...

XFree86 3.3.2.3a-8pre9v6 at master.debian.org/~branden/xfree86
This is what I hope to be the final test build of XFree86 3.3.2.3a-9; if there are no significant problems it will be released with that version number. This test build addresses all four release-critical bugs currently outstanding against XFree86. There are exactly 5 things I want to do for -10, and then I will declare slink X done (barring any nasty bugs that crop up). * have XF86Setup mung /etc/X11/Xserver (and call correct X server during test) * deal with new font and static library packages in the upgrade department * XKB and locale fixes for our non-American friends (bugs.debian.org/xlib6g) * merge alpha patches * merge sparc patches The xf86config program has already been modified to edit /etc/X11/Xserver, thanks to Robert Woodcock. XF86Setup is more difficult, mainly because it's written in tcl. Any volunteers to do this are strongly encouraged to step forward. I don't know yet exactly how the new font and static library packages will be handled. I want to build developer consensus on a solution. Alpha and sparc patches need to be i386-safe. I don't know that they aren't; I haven't checked closely yet. My next test build will likely incorporate the alpha patches and I will want to see if it works okay on i386. Almost all of the Alpha patches have to do with 64-bit alignment issues, and should not affect the i386. But there's always the chance of something lurking... If some sparc folks could confirm that their patches are similarly safe for i386 consumption I'll subsequently add those. I imagine the Alpha patches will make life easier for the sparc64/UltraLinux port (do we have one yet?). And that's it... People who used test build 5 should probably remove or purge (and optionally reinstall an earlier, official version of) the XFree86 packages. In test build 5 xbase-clients was renamed to xclients-misc, but it was recently brought to my attention just how awful package renaming can be. So I backed that change out. The current control file has no notion of any xclients-misc package. There are a few things in particular that I'd really like tested: *) Upgrades from hamm xbase (3.3.2.3-2 or earlier) should automatically suck in xterm, xdm, xfs, xbase-clients, and so forth. *) No damn circular symlinks. Check the /etc/X11/xinit and /etc/X11/xserver directories for them. Some of my postinsts, and dpkg itself, should scream at upgrade time if this happens, but it never hurts to be sure. *) Make sure /usr/doc/xbase/README.Debian is present. For reasons I cannot fathom, on some systems it just isn't being installed. I got a bug about this and reassigned it to dpkg since dpkg-deb --contents xbase said the file should be there (so did dpkg -L xbase). *) Make sure the locales directory is present (/usr/lib/X11/locales). *) If you have xlib6 installed, ensure the following link is present: usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11/locale - ../../../X11R6/lib/X11/locale *) Run the xf86config program in xserver-common and verify that it writes the name of the selected X server to /etc/X11/Xserver if asked to (and that it doesn't if the user says not to). It should create this file if it is not present, and not modify anything other than the first line if it does. *) Disable local X server checking in xdm (see /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options and man xdm.options), then sabotage the XF86Config file so that the server will bomb. Check that with startx. Then start xdm, have it run the local server, and see if you get the loop of death. I got a patch from Marcelo Magallon that should prevent this. xdm should now obey the startAttempts resource, and only try to start the X server 4 times. man xdm for more info. The XF86Config file is easily sabotaged by a line like: VertRefresh 50---120 in the Monitor section. Those are the big ones.

Mouse not working!!!!!!!!!
Hi! Yesterday, I bought a S3 card for my debian box. I installed it, and after some tinkering about, I got it working. However, as a result of this, I had to change some BIOS settings (I think I did, anyway, as nothing was working for a time!). As a result of this, the mouse isn't responding any more. Basically, if I swiggle it around (I have gpm running), the cursor shows up, but nothing more. By looking at /proc/interrupts, and then moving the mouse and checking again, I notice that the interrupts requested by freely moving the mouse around has only increased by one!!! I think that the problem might be in the irq/port. Can anyone help? I think I have to change something in the BIOS, but I'm not used to these things yet :-))) Thanks a lot!

First thanks for the hints I have received. Reading the fetchmail-FAQ I found this: X3. Messages containing From at start of line are being split.

Try inserting the `E' option in the flags part (the F= string). This will make sendmail turn each dangerous start-of-line From into a From, preventing programs further downstream from acting up. Now I wonder where I have my sendmail.cf file, I am using (the Debian standard) smail. Can't see nothing about procmail in /etc/smail, I wonder how my system knows that it should deliver mail with procmail. If I could add this option, I guess my problem would be solved.

Would instructions as to how to copy the .deb in question to a floppy and install it with dpkg before running dselect suffice? As someone with several months experience now with Linux, yes. As someone who's never seen a UNIX/Linux prompt or heard of dpkg and has a tremendous learning curve in front of him, I think the optional installation floppy is a better idea.

Hi, Looks like you have a PCI sound card (Ensoniq, now owned by Creative Labs). I have one of these cards at work myself. This is what I did to get it to work (Under kernel 2.2.0) Kernel Compile options: M Ensoniq AudioPCI (ES1370) M Creative Ensoniq Aidio PCI (ES 1371) I selected both since I wasn't sure.

Re: Mouse not working!!!!!!!!!
At 11:37 AM 1/28/1999 +, Jose L. Gomez Dans wrote: Hi! Yesterday, I bought a S3 card for my debian box. I installed it, and after some tinkering about, I got it working. However, as a result of this, I had to change some BIOS settings (I think I did, anyway, as nothing was working for a time!). As a result of this, the mouse isn't responding any more. Basically, if I swiggle it around (I have gpm running), the cursor shows up, but nothing more. By looking at /proc/interrupts, and then moving the mouse and checking again, I notice that the interrupts requested by freely moving the mouse around has only increased by one!!! I think that the problem might be in the irq/port. Can anyone help? I think I have to change something in the BIOS, but I'm not used to these things yet :-))) Thanks a lot! Jose -- Jose L Gomez Dans PhD student Radar Communications Group Department of Electronic Engineering University of Sheffield UK I believe there's a gpmconfig tool that may help, but if there's an IRQ conflict it won't. IRQ issues are the biggest pain other than shoddy software (can you say Microsloth?). Getting it straight depends on your BIOS capabilities and whether you have Plug-N-Curse devices, etc. If you put your old video card back in and your mouse returns to normal function, you can be pretty sure it's some sort of hardware (ie. IRQ, etc) conflict. If you have a utility that came with the mouse that tests communication with the mouse you might try that also (although you'll probably have to boot into DOS to use it), but gpmconfig should do pretty much the same thing. Sorry this isn't much help; maybe others on the list will have more info for you.

Change the reference from /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0 and give that a shot. (You could fix /dev/modem so it is a valid symlink to /dev/ttyS0, but in such a situation the system can't put a lock on the real device when it is use and therefore can't prevent another program from trying to use the real device at the same time, so the symlink method is not recommended.)

Re: man missing ?
hello, I don't think you can add optional disks to the boot disks. I maybe wrong but I just made a set of custom boot disks to include a speech synthisizer into the kernel. That was not the hard part, what was hard was that I had to put a different default.map file into the base2_0.tgz file. and do some other stuff with the root.bin It is my understanding that you use a program called floppy-split to split the base2_0.tgz into the base disks. You would be adding one more disk to the mix that everyone would have to download because it was included in the base2_0.tgz file and could not be skipped over during the base system installation section. I could give you a couple of alternatives to get a brief explanation for programs that would be command --help and take a little time to familiarize yourself with the directory structure of debian. This really helped me to understand the difference between /bin and /sbin user and superuser binaries. There are howto on the web at http://www.debian.org and at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux those two website are valuable resource to find information on linux. Look in /usr/doc/package_name ie /usr/doc/ppp/FAQ.gz tells you how to connect to your isp. I hope this helps you. Paul Let me know if you need specific information and i maybe able to help you.
