Hello everybody,

I just detected some strange things with the new kernel 0.98.4: the memory
manager seems not to use all the existing physical memory, although
my machine is under heavy load (X running with several xterms and other clients,
gcc compiling xfig with -O2). There are always at least 2MB of memory left
unused, so processes have to do a lot of paging, and everything gets slower :-(.

Here is what `free' reports about memory usage:

>              total       used      cache       free     shared
> memory:       7404       3308       2048       2048        944
> swap0:        8156       2132                  6024          0
             
The 2048 blocks seem to be a magic limit, after I started another compilation
(there were 2 gcc's running with -O2 at the same time), free still reports
2048 blocks free, and a lot more swap space in use.

>              total       used      cache       free     shared
> memory:       7404       4952        404       2048        792
> swap0:        8156       3976                  4180          0

Maybe this is a bug in the mm-code; I saw Linus did a lot of changes in it.
Needless to say, the last kernel (pl3) had most of the time less than
2048 blocks free mem...

If you're talking about the implementation of Linux on the i386,
this is correct.  Segmentation allows the kernel to access it's 
address space, and a user process space independantly of eachother,
without mapping the user space into kernel space someplace and doing
pointer scrambling.

When in kernel code, es,ds,ss, and cs point to the kernel's address space,
while fs points to the address space of the user process.

Earlier versions of Linux used a single, system-wide set of page tables,
with the segments in each processes' LDT selecting an appropriate 
offset into the 4G virtual address space, with a 64M limit.

From a user perspective, segmentation isn't there.  Each process 
has a flat 3G bit address space, with the cs, ds, es, and ss selectors
only serving to select descriptors with appropriate permissions for 
access with that segment register (ie, cs segment must be executable,
ds must be writeable) to the same flat address space.

Date: 10 Nov 92 17:57:47 GMT
Organization: Westmont College, Santa Barbara, CA

I have a new Logitech Mouseman, and I'm trying to get it to work
with X (Trying to get X to work w/ my Genoa 7800 card, but that's
another story!).  

When I boot, it says a busmouse is detected.  /dev/mouse has major 10,
minor 0.

So I try the test from /usr/X386/lib/X11/tst/mouse with the following 
results:

$ mouse Logitech /dev/mouse
You are testing Logitech on /dev/mouse
general protection: 0000
EIP 0008:0000d806

task[0] (swapper) killed: unable to recover
Kernel panic: trying to free up swapper memory space
In swapper task - not syncing

Of course at this point, the system is locked and the reset button must
be pushed to get it to reboot.  

Now the way I look at it, /dev/mouse should be readable as any normal
file, so that 
cat </dev/mouse >droppings & 
tail -f droppings

should give some response when the mouse is moved.  Perhaps unintellible
response, but something!  It doesn't, needless to say.  What am I missing?

Any ideas about how to test my busmouse (which works fine under DOS, may it
rest in pieces) ?

If you use bash, you can use the internal command 'type'.

	I am going to be getting a new system within the next month or so,
and I want to use it to run linux. Just have a few questions for people
out there.

	1) How many people have had luck with using the ATI Ultra Pro. Has
anyone gotten it to work with it's own server (not the X8514A server).
	2) If not, what information would I need to have in order to attempt
to write a driver for this card?
	3) Is there special programming required to make use of a local bus
card? Will a local bus IDE controller work at full capacity, or will the
kernel just ask it for data in 16 bit chunks?
	4) If I have 8 meg of memory - what is a good swap partition size?
Would it be better to use a swap file so as not to waste the extra partition?
I plan on running X alot - with 4-5 windows open at a time - how likely
am I to need swap space? Is the speed benifit of a partition over a file
great?
	5) What is the best method of installing linux for the first time
(opinions)?
	6) Can linux handle two different HD controllers at once? What if
they are of diff't types (one SCSI, one IDE)?
	7) Can linux handle 2.88 meg 3.5 inch floppies?
	8) I am looking at buying the gateway 2000 4-66V which has the 
following setup:
		486-66DX2
		8 Meg Ram
		340 meg IDE drive
		Local Bus IDE controller
		Local Bus ATI Ultra Pro 
		Both floppies
		usual stuff (KB, Mouse, etc)
		15" flat screen monitor

	Has anyone out there used linux on this machine? Does it sound like
	a reaonable setup? I have about $3000 to spend - can anyone suggest
	a better setup?

	9) What kind of EISA support is there out there. If I get an EISA
machine, will it still work with the ISA code?

	10) Linux is great!!! Thanks Linus!!

Keywords: partitons mkfs
Date: 8 Nov 92 14:34:40 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

I am having problems getting the partition sizes I want
in Linux 98.pl1. I was my understanding from the FAQ that
linux would recognize large partitions. I can't seem to
get it to see anything larger than 65536 blocks.

What I want is to have a dos partition of 30M on a 200M
disk. This would be a dos primary/bootable partition. The
remaining 177M would be devoted to Linux. I further wanted
to set up a primary Linux partition of 65 megs for the
SLS system with the remaining 100M+ for user files.

That is what I tried to set up. I made the 65M partition
and reinstalled Linux on it. When I tried to make the
100M partition I keep getting errors from fdisk about the
number of blocks must be less than 65536 if I make it
a primary partition. If I make it extended, I can make it
but can't mkfs it because I get an error saying that
linux cannot currently use 103010 of the partition.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a good plan to have a primary
partition of 65M and the rest partitioned in one large
piece. The FAQ quotes Chuck Hedrick as saying that he
prefers smaller partitions. Could linux users share
(1) their experiences with partition sizes and (2)
tell me what I am doing wrong.

BTW, I have X11 working with my Trident 8900c thanks to
all of the kind users who shared their Xconfigs with me.
I still cannot return to text mode although when I tested 
an et4000 card I could....so it must be the Trident chip.
Is anyone acquainted with the hardware -- I ain't --
looking into this problem?

I appreciate all the support....I am not an absolute
newbie but I am dangerous enough to wipe out all I have
done if I am not careful.

  There have been a very large number of people posting to
comp.os.linux asking about the "magic match failed" messages.
Wouldn't it be a lot less confusing all around to change the messages
to read

Minix FS magic match failed
Extended FS magic match failed
MS-DOS FS magic match failed

(et cetera, for whatever file systems are supported) rather than just
having a rather opaque single message?  It seems that it would be much
more self-explanatory all around.

Perhaps even a

<foo> FS magic match succeeded

when the match actually works, so people know that this isn't some
error in their setup, but rather that the system was just trying all
the options in order?

I don't know how hard this would be to implement--I haven't looked at
the code--but it doesn't seem THAT hard, and surely the confusion
alleviated would be worth it.

Obviously, one can say "they should read the manual," but it seems
preferable to have the user interface lead people to as much
understanding as possible even if they have not.

I haven't used dvips and ghostscript, so I can't tell about those, but
if you want a 9 pin dvi to epson driver, you might look at Beebee's collection
of drivers at science.utah.edu or at ymir.claremont.edu In ymir I believe its
under something like ~/tex/drivers/beebe2_10 or something close.
At science it's under ~/tex/dvi (I think).  You wont need all of it, but you 
will need most of the files. It compiles pretty easily, with minor changes.
It assumes the default operating system is unix and bsd. You need unix but not
bsd, so you will have to change a define.

You will also need to compile your own fonts.  I have a script for that if you 
need it.

Hi,

I have been trying to compile dosemu0.2tar.Z for past few hours but have had
much problems. Well, here is the problem.

I did "make" without touching any of my libraries (which there are plenty of
since I can't tell which one to get rid of), and I got many many errors
with undefined variables.
Here is just a taste of what I got:

ld -T 400000 -o -ibemu emu.o linuxfs.o termio.o vm86.o -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.2.2d -lc -ltermcap 
/usr/lib/libc.a(streambuf.o): Undefined symbol ___builtin_delete referenced from text segment
/usr/lib/libc.a(streambuf.o): Undefined symbol ___builtin_delete referenced from text segment


Okay, I am thinkin', there must be something wrong with the libs. Maybe I am 
using an old lib. After all, the README said it will work with 0.97pl1 and above
(which I have..since I just got 0.98pl4).

So being experimental, I went off to rename the libs in trouble(libc.a and 
libtermcap.a) and made a link with jump table libs. namely, /usr/lib/shlib/jump/*.a
I now had a compiled program and libemu. The only weirdness being something like
this:

ld -T 400000 -o libemu emu.o linuxfs.o termio.o vm86.o -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.2.2d/jump -lc -ltermcap 
text_start: 0x00400000  text_size: 0x00005000
data_start: 0x00405000  gap:  0x00000000


Well, then I went off to mv libemu to /lib and then ran dos > junk....
and I got a seg fault.

My gcc is 2.2.2d with jump tables installed in /usr/lib/shlib and I do have
a link to it at /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.2.2d/ 

I would appreciate any help...

I hate to follow up like this...  I am running xdm and it works great.
Trouble is, I don't think I can help you.  I didn't do anything

the getty for tty1 in inittab).  

Anyway, I know this doesn't help.  I am running 0.98.3+.

I have an ``Aamazing'' brand mouse that is ``software
switchable'' but in fact (as hlu informed me) is switched by
changing the level of the RTS and/or DTR lines.  (Of course, just
because my mouse works this way is no guarantee they all do.)

So I made the following patch to the kernel to (un?)set these
lines and thus put the mouse in Mouse Systems mode by default.

This was just a quick hack and might break other things, so a
proper solution would be to write a little utility program to set
the control lines properly, doing something like:

  ioctl( fd, TIOCMBIS , TIOCM_DTR | TIOCM_RTS ) ;

I wrote such a program but it failed due to a bug in tytso's
serial driver code (a bad outp() which I believe has since been
corrected).
