Re: [9fans] Mouse inverted Y-axis
> i generally rebuild everything from the top directory. I see, good to know. Thanks. In any case I think there is a bug in kb.c. The function 'ptrbootpvals' seems correct: if(c > 3 && ch->buf[3] == 1)/* up */ b |= 0x08; if(c > 3 && ch->buf[3] == 0xff) /* down */ b |= 0x10; Wheel-up should set the flag 0x08. Wheel-down should set the flag 0x10. But the function 'ptrrepvals' seems buggy: if(c > 3 && hidifcval(&kd->templ, KindWheel, 0) > 0)/* up */ b |= 0x10; if(c > 3 && hidifcval(&kd->templ, KindWheel, 0) < 0)/* down */ b |= 0x08; Wheel-up sets the flag 0x10. Wheel-down sets the flag 0x08. Pavel
Re: [9fans] Mouse inverted Y-axis
Hi all, > I still have opposite scrolling direction when scrolling my mouse wheel (even > with my patched kb.c). :( I have found a problem - as usually placed between keyboard and chair. ;) I made such sequence to install my modification in kb.c: - cd /sys/src/cmd/usb/kb - mk - mk install - /sys/src/9/pc - mk 'CONF=pcf' - cp 9pcf /n/9fat - reboot The modification in kb.c was not used. So I made such sequence to install my modification in kb.c: - cd /sys/src/cmd/usb (not into kb subdirectory!) - mk - mk install - /sys/src/9/pc - mk 'CONF=pcf' - cp 9pcf /n/9fat - reboot The modification in kb.c was used. Sorry for noice... :( Pavel
Re: [9fans] Mouse inverted Y-axis
Hi all, was not something changed in Plan9 kernel(?) in the near past related to the mouse wheel scrolling direction? I still have opposite scrolling direction when scrolling my mouse wheel (even with my patched kb.c). :( Thanks for any help. Pavel

Re: [9fans] QTEXCL/DMEXCL redundancy
Thank you for the explanation. Pavel
[9fans] QTEXCL/DMEXCL redundancy
Hi all,
first time I am trying to create a "synthetic" file system.
I want to have "synthetic" files with the exclusive flag.
In my getdirent (called from dirread9p) function I have:
>d->qid = (Qid){n, 0, QTFILE|QTEXCL};
>d->mode = 0666;
This does not work (ls -l did not show 'l' flag).
When I made a modification:
>d->qid = (Qid){n, 0, QTFILE|QTEXCL};
>d->mode = DMEXCL|0666;
This works (ls -l shows 'l' flag).
I thought the DMEXCL in 'mode' is a unnecessary since QTEXCL is already present
in 'Qid'. I was apparently wrong...
Can you recommend me e.g. the manual page or document explaining such matter?
I really do not understand why such a redundancy (QTEXCL/qid and DMEXCL/mode)
is there...
Thanks.
Pavel

Re: [9fans] unicode fonts in troff

I used the utility ttp2pt1: http://ttf2pt1.sourceforge.net/ Using this I generated sets of 256 glyphs and metrics, which I manually copied into the troff and postscript directories in Plan9. I must think more what precisely I did... ;) Pavel
Re: [9fans] unicode fonts in troff
> I'd like to use it under plan9 but sadly i don't have the knowhow. > Maybe someone smarter will fix it. To allow the "special" characters (different from latin-1) in Plan9's troff you need to create tables of glyphs and the font metrics. I have already made such a laborious conversion process when porting TTF containing czech characters to Plan9's troff. Now I write the czech documents in Plan9's troff. Pavel

My panic occurs inside 'fault' (search for 'faultarm' string) function of /sys/src/9/port/fault.c. It seems as an unfixable page fault. I thought I have a problem with the swap disk region.

Re: [9fans] Kernel panic when compiling Go on native Plan 9
I made another test. I compared compilation of exp/locale/collate of the Go build 14738 and 14739 (and later). Compilation of 14738 does not consume RAM a lot. Compilation of 14739 (and later) consume a huge amount of RAM (involving swap). So it seems the Plan 9 has a problem with the virtual memory management (when using swap), IMO. Pavel

[9fans] DNS problem
Hi all, I am using Plan9 server as my home server (ip=192.168.15.20) controlling DNS names in my LAN and relaying other requests to the public DNS server (ip=88.146.135.10). Up to now everything worked fine.

Re: [9fans] Speed of 9pfuse on Linux
Results of my measurements ('ls' in sources repository)
Native Plan9:
1.05 s - very stable results
Native Linux:
40-75 s - very spread results
My "10x slower" estimation was too optimistic.

My estimation of the time spent by 'ls' command in contrib directory: - 9pfuse on Fedora was more than 10 times slower. Pavel

Hi all, I am trying 9pfuse (p9p) on my Linux (Fedora 10), and the access to remote directories/files is extremly slow. Do I make something wrong? Thanks in advance. Pavel

[9fans] Problem of last update?
Hi all, the last update damaged my Plan9 installation. After the logging in the rio should be started but it fails: aux/vga: vgactlw: : bad VGA control message "type radeon" ... rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: no frame buffer init: rc exit status: rio 23: display open I am running my Plan9 on ThinkPad T30. Can anyone help, please? Thanks. Pavel

[9fans] troff and latin2, devpost
I am a newbie in the troff world. Trying to make a document in Czech I discovered a strange font problem. Searching in 9fans archive I found this topic already present, but without useful (at least for me) feedback-hint: http://9fans.net/archive/2004/03/1548 Can anyone provide me a help? Thanks in advance. Pavel

[9fans] Unmount of /mnt directory
Hi all, it seems I still do not fully understand namespaces. But this sequence seems strange to me: cdfs -d /dev/sdD0 unmount /mnt/cd ...everything is OK. cdfs -d /dev/sdD0 unmount /mnt ...I unmounted wrong directory... cdfs -d /dev/sdD0 cdfs: openscsi '/dev/sdD0': '/dev/sdD0/raw' device or object already in use ...this situation is persistent. What happened in the system when I unmounted /mnt directory? Thanks for explanation beforehand. Pavel

Re: [9fans] new usb implementation
I install the newest Plan9 image (2009-06-08) in my old IBM ThinkPad T30. I connected a USB mouse. But it works crazy (gliding just vertically, randomly, no effect of buttons). Can you someone help me? Thanks in advance. Pavel

Re: [9fans] 'cd' into non-existent directory?
Alternatively, if '9fs' would 'mkdir' automatically, the sequence would be: - 9fs (automatic 'mkdir' and 'mount') - ...usage... - user 'unmounts' the fs... - ...and the directory is still present... :-( Clear, thanks for explanation. Pavel

[9fans] 'cd' into non-existent directory?
