QUESTION: What are the pros and cons compared to 386BSD ?

ANSWER: Linux and 386BSD started out as completely different projects,
with completely different goals and design criteria in mind. Personally,
my experience with 386BSD has shown that :
(a) its TCP/IP is more stable, and seems to work (on my NE2000 card,
which Linux doesn't support yet), but 
(b) the interface and "feel" just wern't the same as Linux (which I liked
better :) ). You'll have to try it out for yourself. Here's information
from comp.unix.bsd, September 1992:

| This is a free BSD for the 386.  It does NFS and X.
| Grab it from agate.berkeley.edu (128.32.136.1).  
| Bill Jolitz is writing a book on it.
| 
| It has a neat, small kernel, and is stable enough to run for a week or
| more without crashing/hanging. It works fine with 4MB RAM and 80MB
| disk.  Running X however needs 8MB RAM, and supports only vanilla VGA.
| The TCP/IP implementation in this is functional, but not optimised.
| This means that FTP throughput is about 5KB/sec on Ethernet, when
| almost anything else gives you about 70KB to 100KB per second.
| 
| Read comp.unix.bsd. That is almost entirely Jolitz's 386BSD now.
|
|    3. How much disk space for:
|	*kernel
|	*X
|	*source to kernel
|	*source to X
|        Binary only:    49 M (30 disk, 5 swap, 14 extraction)
|        Source:         125 M (49 bin, 37 disk, +6 extraction, 25 recompile)
|        User software:  +51 M
|
|	X Binaries require about 61 Meg (?)
|	I don't know about the sources.


To conclude this Q/A wrt Linux vs 386BSD, you should read the Linux News
Issue #5 of L. Wirzenius, where a true story of Mark W. Eichin is
reported.

Hi there,

We are on a LAN running Novell netware 3.11.  We are connected to the
outside world (campus ethernet) through a bridge from this. The SUN
(down the hall from me) is connected to the campus ethernet and has a
known address (My 386 has an ethernet address as well).  We can logon
the SUN and run terminal sessions but what we want is to run an X-
windows session complete with graphics etc.  So it seems what we're
looking for is software that will emulate an X-windows terminal. But
we hope to get something FREE......

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Whats the minimum amount of memory required to run Xfree86 under

or required?  Has anybody got it running with only 8M?

comp.unix.sysv386 was replaced by comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit.

i believe this is on a FAQ someplace, probably news.announce.newgroups

Right!  When I saw your followup I realized that I had answered the
wrong question.  Anyway, I spent quite some time trying to figure
out why the Alt keys were dead with the default settings of the modmap.
I picked up the Xmodmap.no available on some linux ftp sites
and loaded it with xmodmap but the alt keys were dead inspite:

	mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)

reported by xmodmap.

Clearing and adding the very same settings to mod1 fixed it!
(Although not the problem of the orignal poster.)
I guess there is some magic here that I don't understand.
The server reports that it is 1.1 and not 1.0Ya.

(Xmodmap.no is a file with a keycode setting for each available keycode
 turning the keyboard Norwegian styled.)

Perhaps this is some local problem.  I'll investigate it
further once I can get my hands on an 8-bit GNU emacs binary (linux).

I've been trying to get an X server up under 386BSd on my
Tandy notebook pc.  Both the X386 and the X386mono servers clear
the screen, then exit with a return code of 1, but print the same output 
as if I had run them with the -showconfig option:

# X386
XFree86 Version 1.1 /X Window System

Configured drivers:
 VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
  et4000, e63000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga80900
# echo $?
1

If there was an error message or something, I might have a guess what to 
change, but...

The system appears to have some sort of hideous Cirrus Everything-on-1-chip
chip that I think is doing the video; its a grey scale LCD display.
(the chip is labeled CIRRUS LOGIC GC-GD6410-320C-A).   The video BIOS
copyright is GL-GD6410 BIOS/CIRRUS.

If anyone can point me at a config option I need to fix, or at drivers

This isn't an answer to the original question but it bears mentioning:

Given your clock frequency and horizontal frequency of your monitor,
the program xclk (on agate.berkeley.edu in
/pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86) can calculate a ModeDB line for you.

It's acutally much smaller.  On 386BSD the entire unpacked static
linked X binary distribution takes 38Mb.  This will drop significantly
when shared libraries are officially added to 386BSD.

Paul> |	I don't know about the sources.

You need 93Mb to build the core X11R5 sources under 386BSD.  The
source archives and patches take about 30Mb if you keep them online as

I have a real problem with xterm under linux+xfree86, both version

standard VGA screen, resolution 640x480, virtual screen 800x600

xterm starts, but never displays.  It gives no debugging output (xterm
>& /tmp/xterm.log stays empty).  It doesn't appear to ever connect to
the server, because when I exit X, my xterm processes hang around,
doing nothing but take up memory.

I have no network, and the server is being started with the -pn flag.
My DISPLAY is properly set and exported to ":0".
Other clients work (xclock for example).  I have running xterm with no
arguments, with -geometry set, with -e /bin/bash, with -e /bin/zsh,
all to no avail.  This happens both as a normal luuser and as root.

I'm out of nifty ideas.  Does anyone here have any?  I'd appreciate

Yep, it appears imake wasn't compiled to send -traditional to cpp. Without
this flag, defining XCOMM as # doesn't work correctly.

I can put a new imake up for ftp if people want, since I just recompiled X

I had this problem too with XFree86-1.1 (under linux)!

After some random tweaking I found out that I needed to add
these lines to the beginning of my Xmodmap file:

	clear mod1
	add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R

This adds both Alt and AltGr to the mod1.

In my case the command `xmodmap' indicated that these
keys already was in the mod1 map.
(I.e. prior to loading anything with `xmodmap file' ?!?!)

At a guess, I'd say you're using the 0.2b S3 server, because I've heard about
this happenning to someone else about two days ago.  0.2b only seems to work
really well with 86C911 based cards.  If your card uses a different S3 card,
get the latest server (0.3.1).  This is normally available by anon ftp from
ftp.robots.ox.ac.uk, but this is defunct at the moment.  I have a uuencoded
0.3.1 file here, plus my xconfig (rock steady non-interlaced 1024x768).  If
people are interested.  Please mail me.  I will keep the file here until robots
restart their anonymous ftp service.

This is probably a question particular to my setup:

Linux 0.98pl5 (SLS), xfree86 1.1, xview3L2 with olwm...

Before I install xview, xdvi was working fine under twm.
After I install xview and run olwm, xdvi would work sometimes
but quite often gives segmentation fault and core dump.
Sometimes the error message comes up right away, sometimes
the xdvi window comes up for a split second (without showing
the dvi file) and then vanish rightaway.  

I tried restart X and even reboot, but when it's not working,
nothing I can think of solves the problem.  Can someone help
or give me some insights as to why this is happenning?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
 
this might be a very simple question for an experienced X administrator,
but I'm loosing my hair! ;)
 
How do I get xdm to run?    My problem is, that I do not know how to
install it under Linux, that it will come up instead of an ascii-Login.
And if I start it as ROOT, it won't get control over my keyboard. :(
Therefore no CTRL-ALT-DEL comes through ... :((((((((
 
Any hints?
 
Perhaps any scripts?
 
Thanks in advance!

Recently I changed my mouse to Com2. Both com ports are installed, and I used
'mouseadmin' to add mouse for console for tty01. However X server could not
find mouse processes (I also changed Xconfig: Logitech: /dev/tty01).

Any ideas?

Thanks.
