Re: 2.6.x with no X on a U5
Hi, My Ultra5 has a Type6 keyboard/mouse. Only way I got it to work for X is by setting Keyboard to Type5; and setting up gpm to /dev/sunmouse, protocol to sun and repeat_type to msc; and setting device to /dev/gpmdata and protocol to MouseSystems in XF86Config-4. - arvind
Re: XFree86-4.4.0 on Ultra5 behaves funny

Sorry, but actually I'm still not sure which is the correct list for this. As you know Debian doesn't include X4.4 I wrote a debhelper script to package X-4.4.0 (99.x) binaries. Need it because of hardware availabilty problems here. The script is available from http://www.acarlab.com/linux/debscripts_X-4.4.0.html but your problem can be reasonably associated to the fact that X4.4 supports ipv6 natively, and that might snip Thanks for the pointer - your prognosis was true. I've learnt about IPv6 and set it up cleanly on my local network - and am running XFree86-4.4.99.2 on Sparc and i386 Debian Woodys. THANKS for ALL the replies to this post. - arvind
XFree86-4.4.0 on Ultra5 behaves funny
Hi, I installed XFree86-4.4.0 on an i386 and Ultra5, both otherwise strictly Debian-stable. On both, some apps ( I think session aware apps ) have a 10-second loading delay. Funnily, downing the eth0 on Ultra5 eliminates the delay, but quite a few gnome-apps fail ( with/without eth0 ). On the i386, the delay stays but no crashes with/without networking on. Anyone with any clues on this? Cheers. - arvind

Re: how to get audio working on ultra 80 w/ debian testing
Hi, I'm not too sure about ultra-80 or debian testing, but on ultra-5 ( with CS4231 ) and woody, sparc-utils has to be installed and /etc/default/audioctl has to correctly set. The CS4231 chip-set is not exactly compatible with the Desktop mixers! I've been using for a few months, a small GUI app I wrote and I've just uploaded it to http://www.acarlab.com/aCL-pub/linux/linux_support.html#SparcAudioCtl Hope it's useful to some and I'd like to know what other Sun-sparcs it works on. Please, also can somwbody tell me what exactly is the purpose of the 'monitor' channel on the CS4231 chip-set. All the gain controls just appear to be in series! - arvind

The list of X-Deb-packages that you need to renew are at http:\\www.acarlab.com. If that doesn't work out - try the XFree-4.3.99 from X.org. I've built XFree-4.3.99 on Sparc5 without problems and it works - though it'll bypass the packaging system. - arvind r.
Re: compile ide-scsi
Hi, On Mon, Jan 05, 2004 at 03:03:52AM +0100, Emmanuel Kasper wrote: I think you should check to have 'scsi' and 'scsi disk support' compiled in the kernel and not as modules for the ide-scsi emulation to work. I was thinking also to replace on my Ultra 10 the CD by a CD RW. Is the drive already recognized on boot by the Kernel ? Emmanuel Only the boot-device driver need be compiled in - the rest ALL can be loaded - especially if an initrd image is used. The CD drivers can be compiled as modules with the foll. in /etc/modutils/actions # for IDE CD-Writer AND a IDE CD-R pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsimodprobe ide-cd and in /etc/modutils/aliases # CD-Writer aliases - will ignore hdd as candidate for ide-cd options ide-cd ignore=hdd # CD-Writer on IDE-2 Slave and if you have devfs, in /etc/modutils/1devfsd # All CD-ROMs probeall /dev/cdroms sg sr_mod ide-probe-mod ide-cd cdrom alias /dev/cdroms/* /dev/cdroms alias /dev/cdrom/dev/cdroms You have to 'update-modules' after making changes in /etc/modutils files. With Debian, you can keep seperate files for say - sound, disks, video. All files in modutils directory will be merged into /etc/modules.conf by 'update-modules'. See 'man run-parts' for filename restrictions. I use this sort of set-up on Ultra5 and i386 with bare-minimum compiled-in drivers. Hope this is useful. - arvind.
