"Question about rz/sz" - me too ;-)

I shell from xc and call 'get' which has no more than the line
 rz <$MODEM >$MODEM
in it.

It runns fine, gives a lot of information flooding the screen about the
packets and such - only I would like to write a nice wrapping around it
that looks a bit like GSZ - a speedometer, percent and time and all...

How can I get the information from sz/rz - would I have to modify the
rz/sz-source itself?

And another question: What exactly does the init-string say, which has
got a lot of zeros in it at times and then again not ;-)

Awayting your answers, Michael Will from Hamburg, West-Germany...

Hi Linuxers!

As I am a newbie at the X11 stuff i 've got some questions and also some
problems.
Problems first:
I have installed the X11 v.1.1 package and the X8514-server on Linux 0.97pl1.
I 've had the same problem with kernels newer than 0.97pl1 as Martin Rex, so
I decided to stay with pl1 until this problem solved.
But also another problem comes up when using xman: when scrolling (fast) through
the man pages there will be sometimes garbage in the window. It seems as if the
bitblt-routines or the font cache of the 8514-Server is causing the problem. 

And I have another problem with my busmouse (the one of my ATI Graphics Ultra
card). Altough I have applied the busmouse patch to the kernel it doesn't work.
The busmouse is configured with default settings: IRQ 5 and address 0x23C.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

So far the problems, now the questions: I'm searching for a good easy-to-use
word processor under X (ok, TeX is pretty good, but sometimes I wish to have
wysiwyg and that sort of things :-) ).
And as I plan to write X programs: I wonder if any toolkits and/or 
documentation exist for X11 to maintain the design of programs.

Any help/comments and suggestions are welcome.

  Whoa, there are lots of nice POSIX things still missing from Linux,
which is what has kept me from porting a number of applications. The
whole IPC area is a "vast wasteland," and that's where BBS systems
usually need resources. SCO provides working mmap(), shared memory,
semiphores (BSD and SysV), and message queues.

  The fact that Linux is a great system does not cover the painful lack
of these things, as well as some kinds of file locking (at least now we
have file locking, lockf() can be written as a library over the ioctl
forms). These are not "ugly SCO hacks" they are common, widely available
features currently missing from Linux. You sound like a politician,
slinging mud at the competition instead of praising your own strong
points.

  Linux stands very well on its strong points.

The S3 specs, some dos disks, and some other documentation are available
from S3 for FREE.  You just have to call them up and tell them that
you need the S3 driver development kit.  Their number is 408-986-8144.
The documentation comes with a graphics library which looks very nice.

As soon as I get my machine back together again (hopefully within a week),
I will be attempting to write the S3 driver. I have a Diamond Stealth

can use X. Then I'll start tweaking the code to run on the S3. This will
be a major undertaking, I'm sure. If anyone is willing to help me with
the code, I would appreciate it. Could some kind soul out there at least
point me to the routines which do the line drawing, clipping and bitblt?
Also, I would like to know how to go about writing the VESA driver.

Respond via email to this posting if you are interested in helping with
the drivers, or if you can answer any of the above questions.

Quoting from the GCC FAQ, 

At least you need to get and install 2.2.2ddb.tar.Z, 2.2.2dmisc.tar.Z
and 0.97inc.tar.Z.

File list:

1. 2.2.2ddb.tar.Z (libg.a, libc_p.a and jump stable stuffs)
2. 2.2.2dmisc.tar.Z (cpp, eader files, drivers, libs, doc, ....)
3. 2.2.2dlib.tar.Z (cc1, cc1plus)
4. shlib-2.2.2d.tar.Z (making the shared libs for gcc 2.2.2)
5. libc-2.2.2d.tar.Z (source code for the libs)
6. 0.97pl1inc.tar.Z (the header files also used by kernel source 0.97
   patch 1)
7. binutils.tar.Z (all new stuffs, compiled with jump table)
8. install.2.x (a new script for installing gcc 2.2.2d)
9. README (installation instruction)
10. FAQ (gcc under Linux)
11. 2.2.2dg1.tar.Z (libg.a compiled with -g1 to get a smaller libg.a)
12. gas-src.tar.Z (source code for gas-1.38.1)
13. binutils-src.tar.Z (source code for ar, gprof, ld, nm, objdump,
    ranlib, size and strip) 
14. gcc-2.2.2d.tar.Z (patches for compiling gcc 2.2.2d, same as

Yes.  Minor changes need to be made to the seagate driver 
so that it can be happy with both the Future Domain and the

I just compiled the 0.97.4 kernel at home. After booting it starts complaining
that my root fs is read-only (?!). That causes /etc/mtab, /etc/utmp not to be
created and some more mischief (use your imagination.. :) ). 0.97.2 works
great (still does..).

Anyone has any idea what is going on??

P.S. I installed the newest and greatest mount/umount/swapon/swapoff (for
     0.97.3) so the problem probably is *not* an old mount program..

Hello,

I have uploaded xdm.bin.tar.Z to tsx-11.mit.edu,
it should appear in /pub/linux/binaries/usr.bin.X11 .
It's a port of X display manager
from the X11R5 distribution for linux 0.97pl2 or newer.
IT DOES NOT RUN WITH LINUX 0.97 ( problems with file locking )
It runs as daemon from /etc/rc
and keeps the X system running all the time. login's and
user sessions are managed on top of X.
X11 1.1 or newer is needed for this. The binaries are
linked `-static' with 2.2.2d libs and X11-1.1 libs.
I will make shared executables when the new X11 2.0
is out.

xdm.bin.tar.Z contains binaries, configuration files
a README.linux with installation steps,
and a context diff listing against X11R5 sources.

I am interested in hearing any success or problem stories concerning
my `port' of xdm. ( please use email )

	I see uid's are limited  to the range 0-65535. Also, negative uid's
(like those used in some systems for nobody, etc.) are translated to
65536+uid. My guess is that an unsigned short is being used. I'd suggest
that this be fixed as soon as possible, to a signed long. This will give
us a full range and eliminate the negative uid problem.

	I have heard of a university that might be in for some problems (not
CMU, yet :) because they might be running into a similar limit soon. To
avoid anything like that happening with Linux, especially since it is
used in some large installations (especially universities), it would be
good to change this. Also, networked file systems might want to use uids
>65535 to represent non-local network users. If something like this will
break old binaries or source code, it would be much better to do it now
(especially before Linux 1.0) before it gets really painful.

	Also, are userid's limited to 8 characters? 32 or 64 would be better.

	I also have trouble with hostname. Setting my hostname as pcxxxxx.pc
(actually the xxxxx's are numbers, but I don't want to advertize my
hostname to the net :) works, but pcxxxxx.pc.cc.cmu.edu, causes login to
dump core in /dev and refuse to let me login! I had to boot off floppy
to get control of my system again :( (I set it in /etc/rc). It seems the
is a size limit on the hostname that is getting exceeded. Also, for
TCP/IP, it was mentioned that it would be a good idea to put the
hostname in /etc/utmp, I wholeheartedly agree with that. When I actually
can be on the net, I'd like to have a record of who is logging (or
hacking :) into my system, and from where.

	In any event, thanks for a great operating system. I hope the changes
won't prove to be too hard. I just hope to spare us all big problems
down the road. I think I could probably just go into the source/headers
and change uid_t to an unsigned long, but that would probably break a
lot of stuff. Also, something like this needs a consenus and to be made
a standard in the Linux community.

	A better idea than just changing the uid_t to signed long might be to
have old versions of syscalls that use unsigned short uids, and new
syscalls for signed longs. (still uid_t should be changed to a signed
long so that new porgrams would support the new features). Thus the only
stuff that wouldn't work would be old binaries on a new system that uses
uids<0 or >65535. The only time one would have to recompile is if they
actually had to use the new capability. I believe this is something
along the lines of the new readdir() syscall that supports the ext fs,
but maintains backward compatibility.

	I hope this is helpful.

	As I stated in an earlier posting, I'm also experiencing
this problem.  Here is some more data on the problem, which might
be useful to anyone who has ideas about what the bug might be.

	My Adaptec 1542B revision J SCSI controller works fine under
Mach, but doesn't get along with Linux on my 486/33 with 20MB of RAM,
my friend's 486/33 with 8MB of RAM, or the fast 386 that I tried at
a local computer store.  I have not been able to get Linux to talk
to my 1542 on any system.

	Linux hangs a loop in the routine aha1542_command (in
kernel/blk_drv/scsi/aha1542.c), waiting for an interrupt handler
(internal_done, which is called by aha1542_intr_handle) to set the
variable internal_done_flag.  aha1542_intr_handle() and internal_done()
are never called, so I assume that the controller is not generating
the interrupt.  My attempts to simulate the interrupt have led to the
SCSI driver becoming confused, so I believe that it is not simply a
case of an interrupt being lost.  Also, since the diagnostic LED
on the Adaptec stays on, I think that the controller is becoming
confused.

	The problem still occurs when I turn off all cacheing, and when
I pull out all non-essential boards.  Removing the serial/parallel
card and the modem card has no effect either.  The problem occurs on
every version of Linux that I've tried--specifically, 0.96c+, 0.97,
0.97.1, and 0.97.2.

	There is already a comment in aha1542.c that says "give port
a chance to breathe", so I suspect that there is some sort timing
problem that occurs if the processor is too fast.  Has anybody gotten
the Adaptec to work with a 486 or even a 386-40 with cache?  Also,
everybody who has reported the problem has had IDE disks.

	If you have tried a recent version of Linux with the Adaptec
card, I'd appreciate it if you'd send me email describing your
configuration and indicating whether or not you're able to use your
Adaptec card.

Interesting.  I had the problem when not even compiling a C++ program.
All sorts of things started get SEGV's such as su, elm, reboot, etc.

This directory doesn't seem to exist on ucsd and an archie search
didn't bring anything to light either. The closest match on ucsd in
in the sys5 directory which has a version of wampes dating back to 
May for isc and hpux.

A pointer to an ftp site with a nos or wampes for linux would be 
appreciated.
