Subject: Problem installing fsp on Indigo
Date: 11 Jan 93 14:01:08 GMT
Organization: Dept. of Chem.Eng, Norwegian Inst. of Tech

Just a simple(?) question:
  Has anybody succesfully installed fsp on an indigo? All I got was
the following (after typing make and letting the computer spin for a
while) (while making flscmd)

  Undefined:
  rscan
  ginit
  collect
  Gcat
  sort
  .
  .
  .

Anyone able to help?

Thanks in advance

Hi all:

I want to connect multiple cameras to the SGI Live Video Digitizer.
Could someone tell me hwo I can do that? Apparantly, I can connect 
upto three different cameras in R G and B inputs of the LVD, and sync
of all four of them togather. Will it work?

Also, is it possible to transfer the contents of the digitizer directly 
into a file WITHOUT transferring them to the display buffer. It seems to
me that one has to transfer the contents to the display buffer and then
read the display buffer to the file - pretty annoying. I would appreciate 
hints/code if anyone has written. 

Thanks/

Pradeep

Yes, yes, yes, and yes!  I understand that it might be necessary to
install the upgrade versions of these files to guarantee that the OS
can function, so the default could be to rename the user-modified
files to the .O suffix.  But this is just what I'd like.  Maybe the
extra "config" names could be read from a text file in /usr/lib/inst.

Well ... this probably won't help you much (calling your salesman,
that is), since the sales folks are fairly far away from chip architecture
decisions for several years out.

As it happens, the 128-bit FP issue is generally reviewed for each major
new round of chip design, and we tend to ask customers and industry experts
what they think, and the answers tend to go as follows:

Q: Would you like to have 128-bit FP?
   A: Yes, of course.
Q: Would you like to have faster 64-bit FP?
   A: Yes, of course.
Q: If, for the next design, we only have chip die area (and it is *always*
   limited) to give you 128-bit OR faster 64-bit, which should we do?
   A: Faster 64-bit.

1) When you allocate the space on a chip, there is a large range of
floating-point solutions where using more space gets more performance, by having
space-intensive FP units with lower latencies and higher repeat rates,
and/or by duplicating FP units, which is far more useful for FP performance
than it is for integer work, so far.  With current-sized chips, this is
still a tradeoff; 128-bit FP is not free.

2) As a result, I suspect it will be a while before 128-bit FP is
frequently found in microprocessors.  It will happen as chip features sizes
shrink (and *must* happen, for some classes of programs),
but it will take a while.  Of course, doing it all (or mostly) in software
can precede fast support in hardware, and there are ways to help this.

3) Given the lead-times involved, don't expect a 128-bit FP Rxxx in 1993 
or 1994; 1995 may well be impossible also.  Maybe later.

4) IF you think you really need 128-bit FP, it would probably help us to
post/email what you're doing.  Of course, if you were to post that you would
buy $100Ms of computers because of this feature, more attention would
be attracted :-)....  but seriously, we're interested in this area and willing
to listen to people on it.

How about making the inst-ify programs available? Being able to create
distribution tapes that can be installed with "inst" would be a big win.

Even if that program is too ugly or too hard to use to be "user-rated",
I am sure a lot of people would like to have it anyway. SGI has made
available other unsupported programs, disclaimers are cheap. It can't
be much more arcane than that classic sendmail SGI ships, can it? :-)

Have you noticed that no two third-party programs have the same install
procedure? Life would be so much easier if everyone could simply use inst.

-----------------------------------------------
Response:
xwsh terminates immediately after the commands terminate.
rlogin doesn't terminate, therefore the window hangs around.

SGI provided a command file with buttonfly that I have used in the past.
It contains the following:

#! /bin/csh -f
$*
echo -n "<ENTER to continue>"
set foo $<

I called this "mywsh".  It is used as follows:

xwsh -e mywsh ls

It executes the command then waits for you to terminate it after it completes.

By the way, 
    %xwsh -e cd /usr/people/vamsee/junk; vi <somefile>
is the same as:
    %xwsh -e cd /usr/people/vamsee/junk
    % vi <somefile>
The ";" signifies the end of the xwsh command.

   I am considering upgrading a 4D/340VGX to Reality Engine graphics.
   I've been told by a sales rep that the product is called HU-REALTT.
   What exactly do I get with this upgrade?

I assume you'd get a fabulous Reality Engine. Just a small warning. We
have a 340VGX twin tower, and our sales guy said it would just be a
board swap.  The RE arrived middle of December, when we learn, "Oh No,
Mr.  Bill", the RE only fits in the single tower. We are now in rather
unpleasant discussions, since the upgrade price is higher for twin
tower (I guess they have to replace the whole machine) about who
should pay the difference. (and of course our 1992 money is now history).
SGI's quote just say "RealityEngine graphics upgrade for IRIS
PowerSeries and IRIS Crimson deskside systems", but I guess there are
different part numbers for single vs.  twin tower upgrades, so make
sure your sales person gets you the right one. 

This is of course, just my perspective on a most depressing situation,
as everytime I pass by the box full of RE parts, I hear it saying "You
could be doing full screen antialiasing. You could be doing realtime
textures in quantity and quality like you've never could do on the VGX.
FEED ME GL INSTRUCTIONS NOW." (music from "Little House of Graphics Horrors",
comes up).

I recall reading here (many moons ago, when I didn't need it) about
how ginit() is evil under 4.0.X and should be replaced by something
else.

I have an application that uses ginit to occupy the whole screen,
then uses tpon and tpoff to bring up and put away the textport
while the program is running.  Under 4.0.X this doesn't work any
more -- the tpon command freezes the screen and the program has to
be externally killed.

Does anyone remember the fix for this?

There is a version on sgi.com that can be installed using SG's inst program.
All you have to do is run inst, no configuration, building or anything. It's
a fairly recent version and I havn't had any problems yet.

Hi,
I'm trying to transfer files via FTP from an Iris to a PC.
On the PC, I've successfully (I think) installed Novell Lan Workplace
for DOS (their TCP/IP package) such that the PC can ping itself.
On the Iris, I've run 
    ifconfig ec0 inet up
and the iris can ping itself (strangely, it could even before the ifconfig).
However, they can't ping each other.  When I try,
the Iris says 'host unreachable', and the 'collisions' field of netstat -i
increases.

Has anyone else gotten this combination to work?  Is there anything odd
I should know about setting up TCP/IP on Irises (I am famillair with Suns)?
Thanks,
- Dan Kegel (dank@blacks.jpl.nasa.gov)

I presume you mean MHz (Millions cycles/sec) not MH (Millions of
Henrys, which I think I remember as magnetic field strength).

Check out the command hinv.
