Re: Identifying monitor for XF86Config ?

I've got X up and running with a borrowed configuration from a friend - but I don't know if it's optimal or not. The Creator3D card has 3 banks of 5MB ram each (AB buffers plus a Z buffer), which is exactly enough to run in 32 bit color, double buffered, 1280x1024. There is a 'highres' (unofficial?) hardware mode which will do 10MB of ram as one buffer, but graphics operations are somewhat slower. I'd recommend just using 1280x1024. The only thing I can say about the monitor is that its an original 20 Sun monitor with model number GDM 20D10. (If there's some other way of identifying it please let me know). Does anyone know the refresh rates ? or have an XF86Config file that I could look at ? The boot prom might know, actually. I think most of the monitors shipped with Creator cards could do 76 Hz, and I know 66Hz was a standard refresh rate. Jon Leonard (JonL on the Creator3D board)

You haven't said anything about your system, your configuration, or your situation so it's hard to give any useful advice. It looks like you are getting a login prompt before the system in in full multi-user mode. Perhaps your default boot is into single-user mode or you're getting an error that requires an fsck perhaps. Can you get to multi-user mode and see if you can do a user login from there? Otherwise, what's the output of '/sbin/runlevel'? /* please!!, sorry my english */ nullTRICS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I don't know which server is good for the Creator card, but if it's one of the xsun or xsun24, you should be able to run the server without any XF86Config at all. OTOH, I see some other xservers in binary-sparc which you may be using and which may need this config file.

Re: login message
You have perhaps not specified a user directory for the additional account. So when you add a user foo, you should do this: #useradd foo -d /home/foo (an example). #passwd foo (Follow instructions). I think that will work. Shandar --- DR_SeC [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi.

I filed a bug report. Does anyone have any suggestions for things to try to find the problem, which I assume is SPARC-specific? It's most probably Debian-SPARC-specific only, since precompiled M17 linux-sparc binary tarball from mozilla.org works fine. Check it out. cheers -- TS
