Hello, All...

We just received a GW2K Pentium 90 system.  I am unable to
boot from the latest slackware release beyond the rootdisk.
The IDE drive is not successfully recognized.  The boot 
reports that the IDE driver is confused by a disk having 
greater than 16 heads, and gives up.  The Conner 540MB IDE
drive has 32 heads, as reported by the boot.  As a result, I
am unable to install software.  Does this have to do with
the PCI IDE controller?  Does this not work with Linux?  
Should I go out and buy a standard ISA IDE controller??

I am terribly desperate for help, since I am the one who
has pushed Linux in the laboratory as an experiment.  I
really want it to succeed here.  Please someone, help us!

Some people might be interested in this:

I recently became "computer liaison" of the Stanford business school
PhD association.  Big whoop, it means I front for the PhD students in
all dealings with the business school computer services.

We desperately need more X-windows access to workstations.  So I suggested
that we convert some of our PCs to Linux boxes.  To my surprise they not
only agreed, but they seem to be giving me every opportunity to make my
demo on a 386 machine a success:  they've upgraded the harddrive for me
from 40MB to 200+MB and they've upped the memory to 8MB.  Not only that
they installed an ethernet card and gave me an IP address.

I'm fairly confident about getting a basic Linux system up and running,
slightly less confident about getting X-windows up (I don't know how
sophisticated the graphics are:  I'm hoping its VGA at least) and I
am least confident about getting the network stuff going (my own
Linux system just runs SLIP over a modem, no Ethernet stuff).

Clearly I will be poring over manuals in the next week or so, and the
network HOWTOs.

But I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's got a similar setup running.
I'd really rather not botch this, because I don't want any of my
incompetence to rub off on Linux in the eyes of the local computer services
people.

Date: 15 May 1994 05:26:36 GMT

I got my first issue of Linux Journal today, issue 2.  Quite nice, though
I am looking forward to seeing how it changes in issue 3.

One thing I wonder is whether a more broadly based journal might make
more sense.  Call it the Free Software Journal, or the Free Unix Journal
or something.  I'd be interested in reading more than just about Linux,
though that is definitely the focus of my interest.  I'd appreciate
hearing about the latest in BSD, GNU, and so forth.

Is there already a publication that caters to such an audience?

How do other people feel about this?

I think this relates to Debian/GNU Linux (as it is now known) -
which I think may become just that. What follows is Ian Murdock's
(Debian's founder/creator) account: 

==

A few months ago Debian received a new ``official'' title.  It was
intended to be made known with the next release, but unfortunately
entirely too much time has passed to wait any longer.

Previously we referred to Debian as Debian Linux; we are now calling
it Debian GNU/Linux.  I still refer to it as Debian in most
situations.  The distinction is the same as that between ``SCO UNIX''
and ``SCO''; most people generally refer to that as SCO, but in more
formal situations it is referred to as SCO UNIX.

Why the change?

First of all, the name Debian GNU/Linux emphasizes our close (and I
need not mention beneficial) relationship with the GNU project.

Secondly, there are too many people out there who somehow believe that
the Linux movement and the GNU movement are competing factions in the
free software arena; this is simply not true.  This perception
concerns many of us.  The name Debian GNU/Linux is more indicative of
the fact that Linux and GNU are compliments and not competitors.  Look
at the facts if you disagree.

As mentioned in the subject line, this is a minor change.  It should
not affect our day-to-day activities in any way.  I just didn't want
anyone to be surprised when they download the next release and notice
``Debian GNU/Linux'' mentioned in a README file. :)

I ordered the linux set and some other stuff from InfoMagic.  At the
time of the order, the linux set wasn't ready yet and they said so at
the time.  They shipped the part of the order that was ready
immediately (arrived 2 days later), then shipped the linux when they
said they would (again, arrived 2 days later).  On top of all that,
they didn't charge any extra for the shipping, assuring me that it's
not my problem if they don't have the item in stock.  Good company...
and what a great CD set!

ps -- the others I got from them are their USENET CD (faqs, sources)
and the SimTel set.  These are top notch as well.

Subject: Still that BackSpace key problem
Date: 12 May 1994 05:26:35 GMT


I've seen several posts mentioning the Slackware 1.2.0 backspace key
anomaly (it's ^? instead of ^H) but I haven't seen any answers how to
fix it.  Perhaps I missed it or all of them were answered by e-mail, so
pardon me if I'll be repetitious.

I just found the following stuff in my .xsession-errors file which seems
to relate to the backspace key problem:

sh: /lib/cpp: No such file or directory
xmodmap:  commandline:0:  bad keysym target keysym 'BackSpace', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap:  1 errors encountered, aborting.

I haven't used the xmodmap yet but I'll try if that's the way to fix the
problem.  Is it?

I am also wondering about that /lib/cpp error.  Is it only a question of
missing soft link to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.5.8/cpp ?
That would be a strange directory for an executable though. 

Thanks,

It was ported to the BBC Micro, and was available on a Sideways ROM. It was
used as a teaching language at the school I went to.

Subject: An X server for the W32
Date: 13 May 1994 03:27:05 -0500

X_W32 is a drop-in replacement for XF86_SVGA for use with ET4000/W32
boards.  The purpose for this (second) release of this Linux binary
is to gather information about potential incompatibilities with w32i,
w32p_reva, w32p_not_reva (actually w32p_revb at this moement) boards,
and perhaps also w32 boards other than the one I'm using; there's
nothing in the source code that restricts the server to Linux only.    

Only a few operations use the w32 accelerated functions.  The code
is undergoing major changes, so I'm not releasing the source at this
moment.  I hope it will become XF86_W32 in the future, but direct
all problems to me and me only.  In all correspondence please follow
the format below:

        Name of board and chip type:
        Amount of memory on the board:
        Description of experience:
        E-mail address:

I may not answer all your messages; in particular, I'll be out of town
5/16/94-6/6/94.  I may not be able to solve your problems without access
to the same hardware you have.

X_W32 does NOT support more than 1M at this moment, nor does it enable
memory interleaving to improve performance; in fact, you can only put
down

        Virtual      1024 768

in your Xconfig.  Work is underway to support up to 4M.  Also, do not put
a videoram line in your Xconfig.

Do remember to set X_W32 to suid to root.

For boards that have blanking problems with XF86_SVGA, do not expect X_W32
to fix them.  But if X_W32 works in this respect, please let me know.

Finally, X_W32 is based on R6's XF86_SVGA.  The size (2M+) is due to the
fact that it includes just about everything (like PEX). 

Use the server at your own risk.


FILES TO GET:

        README.w32 (this file)
        w32.lsm
        w32-reset.gz
        w32.gz

in /pub/Linux/Incoming on sunsite.unc.edu.


KNOWN PROBLEMS:

If you do a "x11perf -rect100" and kill it before it finishes, most likely
the server will hang.  Don't do this.  If this doesn't happen to you,
please let me know.


TROUBLESHOOTING:

If text appears as unintelligible groups of dots, try executing w32-reset in
an xterm and hit ENTER 16 times.


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

Jerry J. Shekhel (jerry@msi.com) provided the Mirage ET4000/W32 VLB board
for the development, and the XFree86 Project provided the base for the
code.  Glenn G. Lai did the modifications for the w32.

First of all, if the GPL is forfeited this may mean that other 
'shrink-wrap' licenses are forfeited.  After all, by using the software 
you agree to the license agreement, right?  Secondly, the wording of the 
GPL is clear on this:  If such shrink-wrap licenses are to be 
enforceable, then nobody can make derivative works that include GPLed 
code without the derivative work also being covered by GPL.  At the very 
least, it means that Novell must include and allow anyone to 
redistribute the non-Novell portions of the Linux tree.  Personally, I 
don't think the judge in a suit would have any problem reading the GPL 
for what it is and seeing Novell's aim for what IT is (if that's truly 
what they're doing) -- an attempt to steal others' software.  I believe 
the judge would probably rule that Novell's product is covered under 
GPL, and therefore could be posted anywhere.

The GPL does matter.  Ask the hundreds of thousands of people who use 
GPLed code -- counting Linux and {386,Net,Free}BSD users alone.  I think 
the Electronic Frontier Foundation may also be interested in this, in 
addition to the LPF and the FSF.  And the EFF has a little bit of legal 
muscle...

Subject: Diamond Stealth Pro Working... Here's how
Date: 12 May 1994 22:54:56 -0400

Well,  I've been bugging people here for help on setting up XFree86
with my Diamond Stealth Pro VLB for a while now...  And I have gotten
numerous requests for the information I get.

After help from many users, and hours of trial and error (and many reboots),
I have my system running 1024x768 X-Windows.

Here are the things I did:

- Installed the Kernel patches to set the third clock on Diamond Boards.
  there is a file called "init-stealth-patch" on tsx-11 that tells what
  to do.  It should also work if you use the "s3" or "ds3" programs to
  set the clock from the command line.  I just found the kernel patch
  more convenient.

- Made a couple modifications to Xconfig after reading many suggestions.
  here are the relevant portions.

ACCEL
  Virtual       1024 768
  ViewPort      0 0
  Chipset       "s3_generic"
  Option        "nomemaccess"
  Option        "nolinear"
  Modes         "640x480" "1024x768"
  Clocks        25 28 79.6

The option statements apparently take care of a couple of bugs.
But, the thing that cleared up most problems for me was specifying
my chipset as "s3_generic"  apparently the code for the S3 928 chip is
buggy, because it was hanging constantly when I let it detect the 928.
I don't know if that is a Diamond problem, or a 928 problem.

# name        clock   horizontal timing     vertical timing      flags
"640x480"     25     640 672 768 800 480 490 492 509
"1024x768"    79.6     1024 1024 1256 1344  768 768 770 787

These settings should be pretty generic.

Hopefully this information can clear up problems for other users too.  If
you have any questions, let me know.  

If anyone has any information about the stability of the S3 928 driver, I'd
appreciate hearing about it.  I'd like to be able to use it, I assume there
is some kind of speed benefit from that driver.
