Re: i386 to sparc
Sounds like a neat application. What's it called? Can I download it? Mario I have an SS7oIP Linux app that currently runs on i386. I am porting the app to sparc. I have 2.2r6 running on an Ultra5. I am a sparc newbie. I am comfortable with big vs little endianness. I make extensive use of the uintX_t structures. I am also using STL extensively. Can anyone offer websites, email archives, books, articles, advice, etc. on how to prepare for this task? Anything would be appreciated.

Re: Optical mouse?
If you *really* can't find one on the net (sparc hardware list?), let me know, and I'll attempt to scan mine. Mario Greetings, I have a SparcStation 5, and I recently got a keyboard/ optical mouse pair from the guy I bought the system from. He said he could never get the mouse to work on the machine, so it could just be that it's non-functioning, but are there any tricks or techniques one must use to make the Sun optical mouse work on my machine? Note that a regular analog mouse works on my machine, so I know it's not my mouse port. Any help would be appreciated! --Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

Installing X on SS5
I'm running testing. Since, I had no success with my past X server (see thread Xsun has me beat), I've decided to go with Xfree86 version 4. Who knows, it may work for me? My question is, since I've purged: xserver-xsun xserver-xfree86 what should I be getting with apt-get? Thanks. Mario

Xsun has me beat
I am stumped. I started reading: /usr/share/doc/xserver-xsun/README.Debian then ../xserver-common/README.Debian then I finally found what I think I wanted in ../xfree86-common/FAQ.gz under section [How do I get the Xserver to find the fixed font?] I've addressed everything under the recommendations: xfonts-base? Installed XF86Config? No need to worry for Xsun fonts.dir fonts.alias? Install of xfonts-base already did it. xfs? ps ax | grep xfs == /usr/bin/X11/xfs -daemon I don't think I need to do a: FontPath unix/:7100 cause XF86Config doesn't play a role even though the file is there. Correct? Anyway, I stop and restarted xfs with -port 7100 and still no go. This is what my error reads: #startx (using VT number 7) PEXExtensionsInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file Roman_M PEXExtensionsInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file Roman_M waiting for X server to shut down # That's it. I don't know what else I can look into. I'd like to learn. Mario
Re: Xsun has me beat
It's a SPARC 5. With startx there are other things it does than just the X server. I don't know too much detail, but it also starts the environment and the window manager etc. (through xinit or something). I typed Xsun, but now I can't shut it down. What's the key sequence to kill Xsun? It's stuck at the Debian Welcome screen.

Re: Xsun has me beat
No, those don't work. I know they worked with Intel machines, but I have a Type 5 keyboard. Could it be some other sequence? I guess you are talking about a sparc. Right?

Re: Xsun has me beat
That's what I thought. In Potato, I got this every time, but in reading /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common under the [How do I get the Xserver to find the fixed font?] section it states: If the X server refuses to start, complaining that it cannot find the 'fixed' font, then one (or more) of the following is likely true: (then it goes on about causes) This is contradictory of what I'm hearing on this thread. What else, logs, output, or otherwise, can I give you? Please tell me where to get it. I'm not terribly familiar with Debian's filesystem hierarchy.

Xsun docs and configs
Under /usr/share/doc/xserver-xsun, README.Debian has the following line: Furthermore, the Xsun servers do not use XFree86-specific innovations like the /etc/X11/XF86Config server configuration file.

Xsun having problems?
Using a SPARCstation5 with 256MB of RAM and upgrading from Potato 2.2r2 to testing (Woody), I've deleted XF86Config and reran anXious to get my X running again. It still crashes complaining about fonts, but that used to happen before Woody anyway. Any ideas on why this is going on and what else I should look at? Thanks. Mario
Need a public tftp and/or bootp server
I don't understand why upgrading to Woody from Potato decidely affected my SILO boot loader. In short, does anybody know of a public tftp and/or bootp server that I can point to to get a SPARCstation 5 (sun4m) linux kernel so I can at least look at my filesystem and/or /etc/silo.conf to see where and what my kernel was called. I don't have a CD-ROM or a floppy drive to rescue this thing. Also, I'm trying to keep the Sun independent to take care of itself like, 'go get the damn kernel yourself if you want to work' type of deal. The Sun machine originally began creating itself from Sun files on a Mac on my local network, but my Mac's tftp license, program, and images have been deleted. Thanks. Mario
