Subject: Fix for color_xterm scrollbar
Date: 16 Aug 1994 04:40:02 GMT

I just uploaded three files to the Incoming directory on sunsite

-rw-rw-r--   1 ftp      20           2819 Aug 16 04:04 color_xterm-fix.README
-rw-rw-r--   1 ftp      20            869 Aug 16 04:04 color_xterm-fix.lsm
-rw-rw-r--   1 ftp      20         311237 Aug 16 04:05 color_xterm-fix.tgz

(that's sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming, of course)

THIS IS NOT A NEW VERSION.  You should only consider downloading
this if you've been having the problem where the scrollbar
in color_xterm blinks on and off as text scrolls off the top,
yet works when you click on it, or similar problems.

If you do try it, please let me know that it eithers works
or doesn't work on your system, since it's only been tested
on my system so far.

I should mention that this code SHOULD NOT BE USED on ANY
system other than Linux, especially any BSD.

Here's a copy of the README file listed above.

=========================================================

Scrollbar fix for color_xterm with Slackware 2.0.
 
 
WARNING: Use this at your own risk.  I admit now than I'm
not an experienced C and X windows programmer (just an
ordinary user who prefers to get binary distributions),
but this is my simple fix to what has been a somewhat
annoying problem which others have asked about as well,
and received no answers.  This fix seems to work on my
system, which is Slackware 2.0, kernel 1.1.44, and
libXaw3d installed as described in its documentation.
 
 
After installing Slackware 2.0, I noticed that the scrollbar
in color_xterm didn't quite work correctly.  It seems to have
worked when I had Slackware 1.1.1 (kernel 0.99pl14).  In
particular, the scrollbar just blinks on and off and doesn't
change size properly as lines are added the buffer, but
using the scrollbar seems to work.  After installing the
very nice 3D Athena Widget replacement by Joachim Schnitter,
the problem remained, though the scrollbar didn't quite
work properly in addition to not displaying properly.
 
BTW: The libXaw3d library adds a nice 3D look to existing
programs which use the libXaw library.  All you have to
do is install it as described.  Nothing needs to be built
or recompiled.  Programs affected include xterm, color_xterm,
xload, xclock, seyon, and many others.  The package is
available as sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/libs/X.
 
Well, after playing with the source, it didn't take long to
find that all sorts of things intended for BSD were being
defined (around about line 120 in main.c).  I removed a
couple of offending lines, and it compiled with a couple
warnings, but still the same problems with the scrollbar.
Rather than fixing it in an elegant way, I just tried deleted
all the stuff for systems that aren't POSIX.  The original
warnings appeared again, but new binary was about 30k smaller
and the scrollbar seems to work!  (ok, I'm no C expert)
 
The original main.c file was copied to main.c_orig.  The
original Makefiles also have "_orig" on the end, since
I had to make new ones with xmkmf.
 
HOW TO INSTALL to fix the problem on your system?
 
Well, you could try (as root) changing into the "xterm"
directory created by this tar file, and typing:
 
      mv /usr/X11/bin/color_xterm /usr/X11/bin/color_xterm_orig
      mv ./color_xterm /usr/X11/bin/color_xterm
 
and if it doesn't work, just undo with
 
      mv /usr/X11/bin/color_xterm_orig /usr/X11/bin/color_xterm
 
 
But ideally, you might be an experienced X programmer and
actually determine what the problem really was (and e-mail
me, please), make an elegant fix, and upload a copy to
various ftp sites and send to Patrick for future releases
of the Slackware distribution.
 
 
I hope you find this fix useful, and hopefully someone
more knowledgable than me will redo it someday.

[lots of stuff about how APC has an attitude similar to the 
now infamous Diamond dot-clock problems-- btw: looks like
Diamond might be taking the XFree86 team a bit more seriously
now, according to the recent Xfree86 3.1 progress report]

Tom Webster <webster@kaiwan.com>  has a very nice document
which he sends to people who're looking to hook up a UPS
to Linux.  It describes exactly how to connect a certain
model from TrippLite which he owns.  (BC750LAN)

It's been my impression that the TrippLites are a bit
more, but after you read his instructions, I think
the TrippLite will look pretty attractive for Linux.

Reply-To: arnholt@mayo.edu

I'll probably be purchasing a DAT tape drive today for my Linux PC.
I'd appreciate any comments, preferably forked to my email address as well:

1. Opinions on Archive 4322 and 4324: any good?
2. What is the best SCSI controller for such drive? (considering Adaptac,
   but would prefer not spending so much)
3. Most important: can I expect problems transferring data from my
   Sparc2.3/HP1300S or HP2000DC at work to a Linux/Conner 4322/4324 at home?
   IE, can DAT tapes be reliably read from such a combo, or similar setup?

Many, many thanks.  Please save me hours of headaches if you have any info.

Please help!  I can't see putting time into a system that I can't backup.

I have a aha1522 controler and a archive viper SCSI tape drive.  I verified
that the drive is good under dos, and os/2.  I can write a tar tape, but not
read one.  The tape drive will respond to mt commands.  I have compiled the
kernel with all the correct drivers loaded.  The kernel I started with is
1.0.8 and I am on 1.1.35.  This control and tape drive use to work with
linux back before the kernel went 1.0.

When I to tar cv /dev/nrmt0 the tape drive will go through the motions of
writing the tape.  Then if I type "tar t /dev/nrmt0" or "tar xv /dev/nrmt0"
the drive will spin back and forth for about 3 to 5 seconds and then lockup. 
If I leave the drive long enough without rebooting the system get unstable,
and I get console messages to the effect of "scsi 0 busy with no command"

If I am doing something wrong someone please tell me, or if you know the
aha152x driver is broke, please tell me.  My hard drives are RLL and they
work fine.  I only use the aha152x for the tape drive.

Please any help would be great.

Matt.

There is no functional difference between a "channel" and a "local
buss [sic]".  Also, there is no foundation for the concept of needing
both a slow bus and a fast bus.  In a well designed architecture, slow
devices can easily be accomodated on a fast bus. 

The most popular reason that systems have multiple system buses is to
backward compatibility with older devices.  VLB is the modern example
of this, but it has happened many times before in the workstation,
and minicomputer arenas.

Every SCSI tape drive should work under Linux. There are SCSI drivers

under Linux (Archive 2150, HP 35480a, Wangtek 5150es & 5525) and

Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of
which groups you should read and post to.

Please do not crosspost anything between different groups of the comp.os.linux
hierarchy.  See Matt Welsh's introduction to the hierarchy, posted weekly.

If you have a question about Linux you should get and read the Linux Frequently
Asked Questions with Answers list from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/docs, or
from another Linux FTP site.  It is also posted periodically to c.o.l.announce.

In particular, read the question `You still haven't answered my question!'
The FAQ will refer you to the Linux HOWTOs (more detailed descriptions of
particular topics) found in the HOWTO directory in the same place.

Then you should consider posting to comp.os.linux.help - not
comp.os.linux.misc.

Note that X Windows related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix, and
that non-Linux-specific Unix questions should go to comp.unix.questions.
Please read the FAQs for these groups before posting - look on rtfm.mit.edu in
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Intel-Unix-X-faq and .../unix-faq.

Only if you have a posting that is not more appropriate for one of the other
Linux groups - ie it is not a question, not about the future development of
Linux, not an announcement or bug report and not about system administration -
should you post to comp.os.linux.misc.


Comments on this posting are welcomed - please email me !

Well, yes.  But the implicit comparison was between Unixware and Linux.
Unixware is cheap enough right now that its price is all that

I think it is also a *****VERY SMALL FRACTION****** of what is available

a PC with a commerical Unix can you for you, it will be a little bit to
much cheaper, because not only the OS is much cheaper, but also the
commerical software will probably be cheaper for Linux. (Software
prices are OS price dependent.)

most fun. (If a pupuil is very interessted in some subject at scholl
he has better marks than in other subjects.) Than the people who
must do their best to keep theit job. And at last the people who
work for the taxpayer's money. I think the problem with these people
ist that they spend not their "own" money and don't need to make
money for the firm.

about two years ago the same sort of thing that was said about Linux

two more years Linux should be able to overcome some of the shortfalls.
Two years ago WP was just available for SCO.  Open has become a 
Rag since it changed from UNIX WORLD.

Right.  Yggdrasil is a tree with some special purpose.
Unfortunately I don't remember what that purpose is.
