Keywords: ati ultra pro 8514 x x-windows
Organization: Norwegian Institute of Technology
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 93 16:30:41 GMT

I've successfully installed the SLS 99p2 distribution. However there were no drivers for my videocard (ATI Ultra
Pro) or for the compatible 8514A for X. I manage to locate an 8514 driver at misc. sites, in the following files:

-rw-rw-r--  1 28569         6024 Sep  5 23:41 X8514.README
-rw-rw-r--  1 28569       452427 Aug 29 15:44 Xlinux8514.T.Z
-rw-rw-r--  1 28569        90169 Aug 29 15:44 x.8514.src.T.Z

However the instructions for installing this driver makes reference to a file called xsrc1.1.T.Z . Archie
reported these files at some sites in the US, but since it was rather big (approx 6MB) I do not want to
ftp it and copy it onto diskettes without knowing that the thing really compiles after the changes suggested
in the instructions for installing the driver.

Has anybody successfully managed to use the ATI Ultra Pro or 8514A card with X under this distribution? And
if so, are the modified binaries available anywhere so I do not need to download all the files as I described
earlier?

   Hmm, could you explain why you think lefse is more Swedish than
lefs? If one looks at just the word, ( the sequence of characters
pasted together) lefs is definitely more Swedish looking than lefse,
even though lefs isn't very Swedish either. One thing is for sure:
It's not Finnish.

This is a known problem with existing filesystems.  The kernel's
internal inode cache stores full 32-bit group IDs for files, which is
why you are seeing the correct group persist for a brief while.
However, the minix fs only stores 8 bit ids, and the extfs 16 bits
(although I have heard complaints that even extfs manages to truncate
to 8 bits).

The next generation of file systems (like Remy Card's forthcoming Mark
II new extfs) should not have this limitation, but in the mean time
I'm afraid that the only solution is to limit yourself to group IDs in
the range 0-255.

Cheers,
 Stephen Tweedie.

I have a quick question that I can't seem to address in the FAQ:

What is required to achieve more than 256 colors under X?  I guess the
first question should be:  Is it possible using the XFree version of
X?  And the second should be:  What do I need to do to convince it to

I'm trying to get Linux going on my machine at work with the
intent of installing it on all the pc's on the network (sabout 30).
All machines are identical.  They have an ATI Integra board with
512k RAM.  They all have a Samsung SynMaster 3 Monitor.  This is not
a multi-sync monitor.  The fixed fequencies are:

  Hor: 31.5/35.5 kHz
  Ver: 56/60/70Hz   43.3 Interlaced

I have the Sync Pulse timings and basically all the info you need
for the modegen2.sc spread sheet that comes with SLS.  It spits out
what look like very good numbers to me, but the the damn thing won't
sync.  After Ctrl-Alt-Backspacing out I get {left in "greek mode",
where the greek character set replaces the normal and I hav to
reboot.  Any suggestions?

Also, there seem to be a whole lot of similarooWsky requests, has
anyone compiled them and put them on FTP somewhere?

I thought I could fiddle around until something worked for me, but nothing

Somebody else asked about the "no SIOCGIFCONF" error message, but I couldn't
find a response.  The symptoms are: the screen blanks (goes into graphics
mode of some kind) and then X dies.  The text-mode screen never returns, and
I have to reboot to get it back (since X doesn't run, C-Alt-BkSp doesn't help).

One readme file suggested I should run "startx.notcp", but SLS doesn't appear
to have it (.99p2).

Ah, yes well, mmmn.... I found that with one minor alteration the widget set would
compile, and the window manager would run (perhaps this is not needed on more recent
releases of linux).

The big problem is that although the widgets compile, it does not necessarily mean that
they will _work_... if you compile all the test do they run?  Remember that there is
some vendor specific stuff in there, which a few widgets use.

A proper port should alter these.

Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder

I got the latest-and-greatest tcsh binaries, linked with libc.so.4.2
from sunsite.unc.edu.  As you might have guessed, it was a big problem when I 
installed it... had problems with pipes (rusty pipes).  Basically, at 
seemingly random times, commands executed through a pipe would either
stop running early (only fixed by ^C), or kill the shell (the shell caught
user signal 2 and exited).

So, I got the source, applied the included diffs, recompiled with all new
stuff, and got identical results.  I looked at the diff file, and could make
very little sense out of what was happening with SIGUSR2, if anything.

Finally, I recompiled again, this time without the diff.  The compile went
smoothly, and the new binary has had no problems with any pipes.  In fact,
it has no problems that I have noticed at all.

So, if you're still with me... I was just wondering why the original source 
was changed in the first place.  Was this necessary for an earlier kernel/gcc
configuration?  (currently at 0.99.1, gcc2.3.3.. about to compile 0.99.4)
Is there some other problem that I have not noticed in everyday use?

Thanks.

The files I am missing are : errno.h fcntl.h fd.h limits.h params.h resources.h

Some of these files are on the disk, but they only have includes to linux/xxxxxx.h

There is also tinfo, which was posted in a sources newsgroup some time

This is the same problem I reported a couple days ago.  I also have a
486/33 with 8MB ram, but I doubt that has much to do with it.  The
problem seems to occur with heavy disk usage-- for you it's xloadimage,
for me it's using xv-- so that the swapper is used.  I had thought that
using a swap *partition* had solved my problem but it crept back
yesterday evening.

Here's another clue.  Try this: when your system freezes, running X, try
MOVING THE MOUSE.  It's weird!!  But moving the mouse actually makes the
system run!  Stop moving the mouse, and the system freezes again.  And
this only happens with 0.99.3, not 0.99.2.

So the bug can be in lots of places.  Maybe it's the ext fs code, if
anything has changed, since I noticed my system didn't freeze as
completely if I moved the program, xv, and the data files to a non-efs
partition (I haven't completely removed efs from my tests; my home
directory is on one).  Maybe it's in the serial code, since I have a
serial mouse.  Or it's in the scheduler, since it seems to need a serial
irq to get going again.  If anybody can think of another test for me to
run, please let me know.

I would like to correct mis-information in the cola announcement
about GNU make-3.63.

According to Gnu.announcement for GNU make-3.63,
.EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES:
will give you the old behavior [of make-3.62].

I haven't tried this yet myself as downloaded manual first.
