At startup, the server sets the (virtual) display size large enough to
accomodate all modes specified in the Modes line of the Xconfig file.
It then checks if there is enough video memory to support that size.  To
do it any other way would be too messy, and the consequences of errors in
the Xconfig file could be even more confusing than at present.

The Xconfig file must be customised for the card you are using.  Both
the modes and virtual size specified must be consistent with the hardware.

BTW, you don't need to use xdm to find the messages printed by the server.
Just start the server with:

  X >& x.out

and the messages will be written to x.out.

I'm sure someone has sent this sort of thing in before, but...

Here's a short shellscript called mloadsrc, which saves you from having
to mread bin01.* (or src01.* or etc01.*) before uncpio'ing them. For
example, to see what's on the src distribution, you would do:

	% sh mloadsrc | uncompress | cpio -ivt

---- cut for mloadsrc ---
#!/bin/sh
mkdir /tmp/mtmp 2> /dev/null
rm -f /tmp/mtmp/*
while true
do
  echo "Insert next disk now" > /dev/tty
  sleep 10
  mread 'A:*.*' /tmp/mtmp > /dev/tty

Has anyone managed to get a parallel port driver to work with binary
files, such as produced by ghostscript?

I've tried Bill's driver that came with the source and I've tried the one
on agate and neither work. With both I just get garbage printed. It
looks very much like it does using a serial line when the parity etc
isn't set up properly.

If anyone has succeeded then please let me know which driver you're
using and what the printer is (I've got access to several) just in case
there's a conflict.

Incidentally, the driver on agate is very buggy. It causes my machine to
reboot whenever the cable in attached to the printer (not particularly
usefull).

Bill's driver seems a little better though it is not too stable. Is
there a working driver out there anywhere.

The corruption may be due to dropped characters now that I think about
it, since the printers are being put into graphics mode. If this doesn't
go smoothly then you can also get symptoms similar to mine. Anyway, the
request is the same, does anyone have a driver which I can print my
ghostscript output with?

Hi Terry !

Would  it  be  possible to send the patchkit to other ftp server,
too ?  For example  to  those  who  are  mentioned  in  DISTRIBU-
TION.HOSTS  ?  That would be very nice, because agate seems to be
very busy.  Couldn't get a working ftp session since days.

Another story: It would be nice to give some hints in  the  docu-

And ... thank you very much for your engagement to make hacking/

I installed Julian's scsi subsystem today (0.3 beta, the one that came
over this weekend) and I have a couple problems with it.

I've got an AHA1542 with an internal WREN IV and an external IMPRIMIS 94601.
When I boot, fsck complains the it can't open /dev/sd1a because of unknown

running fsck manually result in:

Also, I've done a full build of my kernel, just to make sure that all *.o files were

Thank god that I saved the old kernel (with Julian's 0.2 beta release).  All works
great with when I use it.

Greetings *,

I need your help.  I have been playing around with Xconfig for
the whole night.  All I got is 2 lines of message at the bottom
of the screen and the blank screen.  It seems to be that
386bsd still works except that I couldn't see anything. (I
typed in some command and the hd light blinked.)  So, I think
it's Xconfig problem.  But how to solve this?

FYI, I'm running Xfree86 on
  . 386bsd 0.1
  . 386bsd kernel (ftped from agate's pub/incoming/X386)
  . Xfree86 dist. from agate's pub/incoming/X386.

Hardware config:
  . 386 25Mhz AT.
  . 8M RAM, Conner's 200M IDE.
  . Mouse System' mouse at com1.
  . Modem at com2
  . I/O card with the 2nd serial port disable.
  . NEC 2A monitor.
  . Mentor's SVGA 1M (based on Tseng's ET4000 Turbo MegaVGA Chip and BIOS)

BTW, I have tried the followings, but in vain.
  . NEC MultiSync II in /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/modeDB.txt.
  . the standard settings which recommended in modeDB.txt.

Any help is appreciated.  You can either post or email.  Thanks
in advance!

As far as I know, at least BSD/386 (BSDI's) use new VM system derived
from Mach. So fork and vfork are really the same thing. Isn't that
(VM derived from Mach) true for 386BSD 0.1 ?

The manual for the floppy controller chip shows you precisely what
you need to do to format a floppy.  If you want to see example code that
implements that flowchart, look at the IBM PC Technical Reference
Manual in the BIOS listing, or at any of the older CP/M BIOSs.

In short, what you have to do is fill up a buffer or set up a series of
loops that will feed the image of a formatted floppy track to the floppy
controller chip one byte at a time fast enough.  DMA can help this.

The usual procedure is to write a track, read it back, mark and remember
it if it's bad, and then when you're all done writing the disk, go back
and fill in the FAT.

Note that this requires pretty heavy I/O access to the floppy controller
chip, which isn't buffered in the PC architecture.  Many systems have
rather poor multiuser performance whilst they are formatting a floppy.

	I am pushing the release date for the patch kit Beta-1 distribution
(the initial public release) from 01 Oct 92 ("today" -- the clock has rolled)
to 03 Oct 92 (Saturday).

	I have done this in order to include what I feel are significant
enhancements to NFS and the kernel virtual memory system.

To whet your appetite, here are some of the features of the patch kit:

o	Nearly 60 patches (I may push this over the top), including:

	+	A patch to allow *all* the games to compile.
	+	All known "X" patches.
	+	All known "ps" patches.
	+	A working "netstat".

o	Ability to "IALL" ("Install ALL") and walk away.

o	Enhancements to the Alpha user interface.

o	All known bugs in all patches have been corrected.

o	Ability to create new directories during patch installation.

o	Correct permissions/ownership on new files/directories.

o	Disable non-root use.

o	"/patch" created as a symbolic link to really allow
	installation anywhere (had to modify "patches" before).

o	Cleanup of "leftover" files in previous patches.


	I appologize for the delay -- I hate not meeting deadlines, even
self-imposed ones -- and any inconvenience as a result of it.  The extra
wait should definitely be worth it.

Subject: [386BSD] 386bsd on a notebook ? and FAQ ?

Hello, 
I am planning to buy a notebook, but since I always work on unix systems, I 
would like to run 386BSD on that notebook (and DOS whenever necessary).
Is this a good idea ? Has anybody experience with it ? I know that they put
some power saving features in such notebooks. Do I loose all those features
when I boot 386BSD ?
The notebook I am thinking of is
	486DX / 33Mhz
	4 M
	120 M disk
	VGA screen
	2 serial and 1 // port
 	possibility of an expansion box with 2 AT slots

I am also looking for the FAQ on 386BSD (I thought it exist, but I can't find
it). Can anybody tell me where to find it?

Thanks,

Stephan Biesbroeck
