gnuplot-beta327__(3.6)__
Hi, I have been trying to compile gnuplot to work without X. I have managed to get is working but, only if I log on as root. Apparently in the "./term/linux.trm" file there is a piece of code that disables linux vga (?svga) mode if 'uid' does not indicate root. When I commented this out it compiled but wouldn't run. It gives some I/O error when trying to initialise my video card. I noticed the same thing when I ran SVGATextMode, it only allowed me to run it as root. Please could some-one tell me how to disable this feature? Thanks Jon.
SVGATextMode...
Hi, (1) Please could someone confirm that the latest version of SVGATextMode is 1.4 (or am I missing something out) (2) I seem to have a problem configuring my SVGATextMode program. For a start I have a cirrus Logic GP-5446 Card and this in not listed amongs the list of supported cards (XFREE does) Also, could someone with a cirrus logic car, who has SVGATextMode running mail me their TextConfig file ... Thanks Jonathan
.dir_colors
I notice that the entries in the .dir_colors file for the attributes of the text are 00 01 04 05 ... The 04 does not seem to work, replacing it with 03 seems to do the trick (04) is the only even number. Is this someting particular to my system or is there an error in that documentation?

Cirrus Logic GP5446 display card
Hi again, I have a Cirrus Logic GP5446 (2MB) which I recently bought. (I seem to have little luck with display cards. The last one I had was an Avance logic one which was unsupported for ages). Well, I tried to install X last night and found that it is unsupported or so I am told by "X -probeonly" which reports "Unknown cirrus chipset type 0x2e, rev 0" I wonder if anyone has a similar problem or if a driver for the chipset has been added to the X11R6 package. I seriously doubt this and wonder if someone could give me some directions as to how to write one myself. Possibly with an existing one as an example..

re: LI???
Hi, On the second of Jan Kendrick wrote .. >When I boot my machine, I get LI and a blinking cursor, and it locks up. >The machine boots fine from floppy, though. My system is set up with >/dev/hdb1 as the / slice, booting from there. It gave me a warning when I >did that, but I just ignored it, thinking it was nothing. Does it HAVE to >boot from the first physical disk? My old version of slackware didn't... I have a similar problem, I get a LIL- prompt and the system hangs. It boots OK from the boot floppy I made during install. Recycled lilo countless number of times, changed the boot parameters and such like ... It still does the same thing. What is really puzzling is that I have two 486's (66 & 133). I installed linux from the same disks (floppies) within a week of each other and guess what? I only get this error on the 133! I got some lilo.19... sources yesterday but couldn't get lilo built, I get an error from a file called boot.c! (I would try to build it on an alpha today -- from a fresh source and see if the package I obtained was to blame for this). I would like to know if anyone else had/has the same problem and if so and has resolved could you let us know what the solution is... I wonder about that CDROM drive ... > ?Just curious... I also just noticed there is "1.2 fixed" at the Debian site, >so I am about to re-install with those images... Did this work?

Not really Linux
Hi,
I am stuck and am turning to the list as a last resort. To those of you who
find this improper, I crave your indulgence.
My problem is to do with variable argument lists. More precisely given the
following
double sum_series(int num, ... )
12{
13double sum=0.0,t;
14va_list argptr;
15 /* Initialise argptr */
16va_start(argptr, num);
17
18 /* Sum the series */
19for(;num;num--){
20 t = va_arg(argptr,double); /* get the next argument */
21sum +=t;
22}
23 /* do orderly shutdown 8*/
24va_end(argptr);
25return sum;
26}
How do I determine the form of the pointer argptr (yes it is a struct.. Made up
of what?) and is it possible to alter the address of its __base value and the
size of the __offset..
Sorry to intrude on the net in this manner
Regards
Jonathan Lawson

Cirrus Logic GP-5446
Hi folks, [not me again].. I decided to do the decent thing and switch to PCI. . ... The long and short of it is that I am stuck with a Cirrus Logic GP-5446 (2Mb) video card that X claims it cannot id (X -Probeonly actually reports something like 64k) I wonder if there is anyone out there who knows about these things or has (is having) the same problem... Jonathan P/s there is some report at boot-time of an unidentified PCI device (no prizes for guessing what is indicated in /proc/PCI) J.

Re: Protections against a mad maintainer?
Hi Sue,
I read with intrest your posting, you do make valid points with refrence to
the trade off's ... That is assuming the person involved is rational. Believe
me, if you want to make sure that an upload from you is untracable... It can be
done .. and finally, it is a simple matter to delay the phenomenon so that it
occurs at a certain day of after a finite number of executions, 666 for
example..
It is a frightening thought,...

LinuX Book
Hi guys, I finally decided to buy a book on LinuX and guess what? There are so many, I am at a loss for which one to choose (and some are pricey too). Could anyone out there point me to what is considered the 'defacto' definitive guide (Advanced!!) to LinuX Thanks Jonathan Lawson
Re: Avance Logic
>Hi Jonathan. > >I use a Avance Logic card in my Win95 box (I doubt that'll help, but listen >anyway). The unfortunate problem I had was that I needed specific drivers >for it - I'd give up if you are going to try to use it for X-windows I >think. Unless there's a specific driver in X for it. Thanks for the response Karl. I decided to copy the net on this one as there might be some other interested party. I got my Avance logic card to run straight off with MSDOS (The diskettes came with the machine). On the other hand I had to shop around on the net for the OS2 driver diskettes and it was a while before I found them. As a result of this I never really considered installing X, that was until I couldn't get gs to work. For some reason I had read Bruce's posting about svgalib-1.2.10 and had decided to install it just before I installed X (Don't ask me why). The thing is that in that distribution there _is_ a driver for the Avance logic chipset (ALR2301) it is not the same as mine but it worked fine. For instance I could finally get gnuplot to compile (without X) and X works fine. The sad thing is that I still cannot get gs-no-X to work and I have spent a lot of time on it. It compiles ok but then the screen just goes white when I try to run it So there is my tale -- I hope that it is of some use to someone Regards --Jonathan Lawson
