framebuffer console problems
I finally got a sun keyboard so I wouldn't have to use a serial console anymore, and immediately ran into a problem with out of sync video: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# eeprom output-device output-device=screen:r1024x768x60 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# fbset -i mode 1024x768-127 --- what? # D: 100.000 MHz, H: 97.656 kHz, V: 127.157 Hz geometry 1024 768 1024 768 8 timings 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 accel true rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name: CGsix [TGX+] Address : 0 Size: 3145728 Type: PACKED PIXELS Visual : PSEUDOCOLOR XPanStep: 0 YPanStep: 0 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 1024 Accelerator : Sun cg6 now this isn't with a sun monitor, but xrandr tells me: SZ:Pixels Physical Refresh *0 1024 x 768( 347mm x 260mm ) *84 75 70 60 87 and I can put it into 1024x768x60 just fine when it's not connected to the sun.. so the question: Is it supposed to say 1024x768-127 and not 1024x768-60 ? I've been trying to figure out where the problem is: A) the sun B) the monitor C) the 13w3 adapter I don't think it is B because I know it can do 1024x768x60. I don't think it is C because I have an indigo2 that boots up into 1280x1024 on B just fine. So what could the problem be? -- -Justin

I know I can specify the name of the kernel image and the root partition, but I don't know what the name of the kernel image is. So, please help me with this information! Either that or was there a step I missed in the install that would have allowed me to set it up correctly? the installer should do the above for you.. should probably file a bug on it... ls should work if it has the right partition, othwerwise you have to specify the drive... I'm connecting through a serial console, and I don't think the alt-f keys work, but I'm not sure. I don't mind starting over again at this point, but would like to rescue this system if I can!

Debian Install boot disks/cds on headless boxen
This is mainly for sparcs, though I would imagine it applies to all architectures (perhaps embedded arm/x86 systems with one or two serial ports). netra t1s have only two serial ports, absolutely no video device or anything else. The menu-based installation is made useless for anyone who isn't very experienced in debian installation by the constant init messages about the failure to start a process in a 3rd tty. This is with the 2.2r3 cd set (really only the first cd), presumably the same problem exists on the boot floppy images. perhaps wait instead of respawn (presuming that's a solution; I haven't looked at the inittab so I don't know exactly what debian boot-cds do in that 3rd tty, or whether it's critical or not, though it shouldn't be. justin

sparc libc
Hi
My name is Justin Maurer and I am a high school student and Slashdot
author (http://slashdot.org/). If everything goes as planned, two
Sparcstations (IPC and SS1+ - I wanted an IPX, but that's another story)
should be delievered to my door tomorrow (Monday, the 26th).
I have relativley little C programming experience, and no SPARC assembly
experience, but would like to know how I can help port glibc to Solaris
and/or { Linux or OpenBSD }. How can I help out? Is there a mailing list set
up for just this purpose?
