The problem is not in writing the driver but in setting the dot clock
values on the card. Diamond uses a custom clock synthetizer. What 
this means is that other than the 640x480 you can't set the clock
values for higher resolution, unless you sign a non-disclosure 
agreement with Diamond. As for being a VESA driver under
Unix we write directly to the vga registers we don't use the BIOS.

The solution, for those of us who care about such things, is to

Subject: ISC2.2.1: can't mkfs root during install
Organization: Cognos Incorporated, Ottawa CANADA
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1992 17:33:36 GMT

I'm trying to install ISC2.2.1 on my 386 and it dies trying mkfs the root
partition on my hard disk.
The install lets me fdisk ok and it seems to have created the partition
table ok.  Poking around with mkpart looks ok.
I can access /dev/rdsk/0p4 correctly.

But, any access to /dev/rdsk/0s? results in errno 2.  

I had ISC2.2.2 installed on this disk before ok (for about 2 years)
and had reinstalled it ok a week of so ago (after rearranging my disk).
I booted it the other day and it paniced trying to mount root.
I had been playing with Linux and so figured I trashed the disk somehow.
No problem I thought, I'll just re-install ISC - NOT.
I've tried ISC2.2 and 2.2.1 boot/install.
I've tried deleting the partition under dos before installing (in case
something was left around that shouldn't be)
I've tried zeroing out the partition before installing.
I've tried burning my DOS manuals at midnight under a full moon (usually helps)

My setup:
	80386 25Mhz, 64K cache, 4Mb DTK motherboard (please no DTK flames)
	1007WA2 ESDI controller
	Miniscribe 330 Mb disk (1222x15x34)
	2theMax VGA card + Viewsonic 5E screen
	Serial ports

	Dos and Linux in first 956 cylinders.
	Unix on partition 4, cylinders 957 to 1221
	(reserved, alt, swap and root below 1023 cylinders)


Arghhhh!

PS I asked earlier about installing ISC above 1023 cylinders.  The consensus
   is that you need /unix and some things in /etc below 1023 cylinders and
   its probably easier to have all of root there.  Also swap comes
   before root and you can't change it (not without major magic).

I tried but it didn't work. I blamed the other side which was a new
modem that had to use software handshake, and I thought that was to blame.

If I start it and I 'ping' the remote side, I see activity on the modem
LED's. The data is going 'out' but nohting is coming in.

Does Dell include the text processing system?

In any case, I can see how Dell's including Merge is a good idea. And, after
all, nobody's forcing you to get Dell instead of ESIX or MST (do they include
the text processing system?). That's what competition is all about.

If you're going to slam people for price, there are lots better targets.

But I wouldn't slam unbundling. Because it's one way to build a good basic
"UNIX Lite" that can compete with W/NT and OS/2 in their own ground.

  Would you explain this? SCO gives 30 days free support with each copy,
and this is a copy you bought and registered, right? And they wanted you
to pay for free support?

  Could you give more details? When you called to register your copy did
they take the registration and then tell you they wouldn't support it,
or what? What did the dealer who sold you this copy do? Did s/he call
SCO or try to help?

  I've never heard of SCO refusing to support a new registered copy
before. Please tell us more.

  Getting one free doesn't preclude using the other... we have SCO
systems with both installed. There are reasons for each, and as long as
they avoid copying each other's strong points they can both make a

Date: Mon, 07 Sep 92 07:17:59 GMT
Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services  (408 241-9760 guest) 

Hi,
I have recently upgraded my system to a 486 50Mhz system with local bus
Motherboard: G486PLB
Local Video card: G-HOST4000, an ET4000 based board with internal oscillator of
                  50Mhz

I have the mit version of X11R4 system running on SCO unix (ODT 1.1).

I would appreciate any help in configuring my card in xconfig.

I got the best configuration with the following setting:
 et4000   1024   800 600   25 28 33 36 39        "800x600"

 "800x600"   33     800  800  952  1006    600  608  610  633

But unfortunately: I had two images of the root window side by side each takes
less than one half screen.
The height was OK, but the width was less than half the screen with.

What can I do to fix this problem?
is there any way to set the video mode to 1024x768/256 without going through
the process of calculating the frequencies as done successfully by DOS ?

Thanks,
Oz

I had EXACTLY the same problem when installing a Sco Unix 3.2.2 (floppy dist)
My configuration was a little different than yours though.
Chicony 386 sx-16 4Mb ram
ide contoller (unknown brand) + 200mb seagate drive
Archive 60Mb streamer
Tseng Et4000.
No co-processor.

I tried everything : replacing the ide drive&controlleur by a WD mfm controler
and control data 80mb, changing the VGA for an old EGA, removing the tape card
removing the 2serial 1 // card etc... Nothing worked. 
I also tried to start with "ignorefpu", no more luck.
Finally since sco support was useless ("you didnt pay us xxxx ammount for
support, I wont help you").

At that time I was suspecting the problem came either from my motherboard or
my bios.
What I've done : I went with my hard-drive & controller to a friend who got
a 386dx and we installed it without problem. 
And from now I never had a problem booting anymore.

I think that  there are some tests that are done at installation that are not
done during normal boot which fail on certain motherboards or bios.
Can somebody infirm or confirm this ?

If you cannot find the fault try installing it on another machine. Did the 
problem occured with the floppy or the tape distribution?

Organization: Home

Date: Sun, 6 Sep 1992 09:09:12 GMT

I have decided that the only way I will back up properly is to buy a tape 
drive (for my SVR4 486) that can do backups unattended.  Therefore I have
decided to buy a DAT drive.  My main reason for choosing DAT is that they
are big enough (ie >330MB) for me not to have to swap tapes so I can run
the backup overnight.

I know very little about tape drives so could someone help me with a bit
of advice;

	1)	bearing in mind that my main criterion is tape size, is my
		choice of DAT sensible?

	2)	will any DAT drive work on my SVR4 486 system (in theory)?

	3)	am I likely to be able to swap tapes with other users who have
		DAT and restore them on my machine?

	4)	what drives are out there that are cheap but work?  (BTW I
		shall probably be buying from the US as prices are much lower
		so a US supplier would be fine.)

	5)	Will I necessarily need a SCSI interface for a DAT drive?

Thanks in advance.

i hope you have a recent backup.

well, here are some things that you can try.  I've hosed not one, but two
machines by torching the root acct in some fashion, and in both cases, i've
had to reload the operating system, or part of it.

If it's just the password that's messed up, you should be able to boot into
a single user mode.  Check your manual on how to do this.  If you have 
a corrupted password file...a case being that there is no root acct at all,
single user mode will not work.  You can check this by trying to log in
remotely.  Ping works, but telnet and rlogin don't (there's no root acct
to initidate the in.telnetd and in.rlogind daemons).

Once you are in single user mode, you should be able to mount the appropriate
file systems, and edit the passwd file to your liking.

In the case that there's no root acct, you may be able to boot off of a tape,
or possibly floppy, boot a miniroot, then mount the file systems, and take
off.  possibly, from a floppy, you could untar, or copy via cpio, the passwd
file over to /etc/passwd.

if none of these work, rloading is your only option.  if you come up with 
something else, i sure would like to know.

First of, this option is not available in 2.2 (as far as I remember) nor
in 3.0.  In the testing that I did with 2.0.2, even setting 16M-64M:1
*seemed* to have no effect on whether or not the system started swapping 
when I reached 16MB of data in processes (using a test process I wrote 
which allocates 1MB of data and then pokes bytes into it in random 
locations).  This is something I tried about a year and a half ago and
I don't have 2.0.2 running anywhere at this point to review the
test, but I am pretty sure that those were the results I observed.
