Okay I finally got X tp run in 1024x768x256. Thanks to everyone that helped me :). The problem I am having now is getting to the other trems. before I installed XS3.0.4.4 I could use <ctrl> <Alt> F1-6 and get another vertual term. but now I can't do that? Is there a different key sequance to do this with XS3.0.4.4? Steven -- All that is, ever, ever was, will be ever, twisting, turning, through the never, never. -Metallica

Be sure that when you patch the selection 1-5 patches to the kernel sources patch < patch-0.99.10 and then make a CLEAN kernel, I've found that just applying the patches and simply recompilng the kernel doesn't work. make clean make - liem -- =======[roland@cac.washington.edu]=====[The Last Gunslinger]================ As you humans say, I'm all ears! | UCS Consulting -- Ferengi, "The Battle" | UW Ice Hockey Co-captain ========================================================...

I can't find anything for this in the million of FAQs I've read nor the usegroups, hence, I'll ask.

I plan to do the same thing. I observe that I have to be very careful to choose hardware which can be loved by both NS3.1 & Linux. For Linux, I am looking at hardware compatiblity list (sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/docs) and XFree1.3 announcement. For makeing sure those hardware I choose for Linux can live with NS, I have to get some hardware compatibility docs (ftp.next.com /pub/...) and read those -- [Tzeng Ruey Yuan] --yuan

Hi All. While I'm aware that many have posted questions concerning the release date of the next SLS version, I haven't seen any specific dates. As I'm about to install Linux for the first time (looking very much forward to this) and my Cirrus Logic board will need XFree1.3, I have waited for a new SLS release to appear. As I understand, the next SLS will be a major update including all sorts of nice stuff... My question is therefore simple: Can anyone (Peter McDonald?) give me an indication as t...

I'm having a similar problem in that after I connect, I escape back to DIP, enter the local and remote ip addresses and then enter the mode. It will then immediatly drop carrier on me.

First thing to do when posting a problem is to include the pertinent environment you are working with, such as versions of Linux, compilers, libraries, etc. In this case, your probably linking without -lbsd, which includes /usr/libbsd.a. This library includes the emulation BSD sgtty (that's where bsd_ioctl is defined).

Is it just me, or are there other people out there who are still experiencing problems booting Linux SLS 1.02? When I put in the A1 bootdisk, Linux says its normal video message, says its uncompressing, then goes to boot the Kernel, and dies in a major way (hangs the machine) If I boot off a 0.99-4 boot disk, no problems (but I can't find where I put mine *sigh*), only under SLS 1.02 I can't boot...

Hmm. I'm afraid that I got my devices all messed up during a repartition/backup phase. I've mangled the permissions on many of my files, especially those in /dev (tar respects umask, or so I find out now). Looking through the FAQ, the device list has names and major/minor, but not permissions. Can anyone point me at a list of permissions, or at best, an up-to-date MAKEDEV?
