Re: [SLUG] X11 problem "No devices detected"

2005-01-29 Thread Michael Lake
Hi all
I have been googling over newsgroups and places trying to work out why I can't start X on an Alpha. 
I have little progress but have made some interesting observations. 

Posts by people with the same problem as me were caused by them 
1. using the wrong driver or 
2. needing to specify the PCI:bus:slot:function. 
In my case I have the right driver and the right PCI slot (from lspci and /proc).

Now in XFree86.0.log file (--) stands for a probed value. Comparing an XFree86.0.log file 
from now PowerBook I have this 

log$ grep '(--)' XFree86.0.log
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(--) using VT number 7
(--) PCI:*(0:16:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 
7500]
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP) found
(**) RADEON(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4c57)
(--) RADEON(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xb800
(--) RADEON(0): BIOS at 0xb002
(--) RADEON(0): VideoRAM: 32768 kByte (128 bit DDR SDRAM)
(--) RADEON(0): Virtual size is 1280x854 (pitch 1280)
(--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
.. snipped
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:10:0
Now looking at the XFree86.0.log file fom the Alpha there is NO probing of
the PCI bus.
I addition there is the line:
(II) Primary device is: ISA
To me this seems strange. Why isnt X probing? Why is the primary device ISA when the video 
card is in a PCI slot?

I have configured XF86Config-4 using dpkg-reconfigure.

Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium] (rev 01)

/proc/pci says
PCI devices found:
 Bus  0, device   5, function  0:

Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x900 [0x900].
 Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x980 [0x980].

So according to the above I have a video device detected at boot time.
The XF86Config-4 file has:
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Matrox Millenium"
   Driver  "mga"
   BusID   "PCI:0:5:0"
EndSection

What filesystem? (ext2/ext3/xfs?)
What document format? (XML, evil binary format)
How important is undeleting it? (versus recreating it).

Depending on the filesystem there might be some hope in getting
it back, but it is a generally a lot of work.

Possibly Openoffice saved it under another name, or in a tmp directory,
or with a "." prepending it, or a "~" on the end. So before trying to 
undelete you might scout around your filesystem to see if it is there
but hidden.

[SLUG] revovery of deleted file ?

2005-01-29 Thread Rod Butcher
Hello gurus, can somebody tell me how to recover a deleted file ? I
created a .doc file using Openoffice, saved it... Openoffice got killed,
when I restarted it it automatically recovered the  file but then I
closed Openoffice as I didn't want to edit the file further... the file
then seems to have been deleted.
So.. can I recover such a deleted file ?
thanks
Rod

[SLUG] 2-Way power splitter

2005-01-29 Thread Bruce Badger
I think I left my 2-way power splitter behind at the last DebSIG held at
the James Squire Brewpub.

Did some kind soul pick it up?  It has a sticker on it with my email
address.

Thanks,
Bruce
