APM on 5.0 RC1

2002-12-23 Thread Sean LeBlanc
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to get apm to run on 5.0 RC1. I have a Thinkpad
390x; apm worked on 4.7.

If I run apmd -d, I get:
apmd[776]: start
apmd: cannot open device file `/dev/apmctl': No such file or directory

Okay, I think. I look for /dev/MAKEDEV, it's missing. After some googling,
it looks like devfs is a new concept replacing MAKEDEV. So I do some reading
on this, and try to add a rule per the manpage:

lappie# devfs rule add path apm mode 660
devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_RADD: Input/output error

Any ideas?

FWIW, I can run jedit (4.0final). I just upgraded to current via the 5.0 DP2
ISO - I haven't even recompiled the kernel yet.

bash-2.05a$ which java
/usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.1/bin/java

bash-2.05a$ java -version
java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-b21, mixed mode)


I haven't tried the demos, but I would think jedit is pretty good at running
a lot of Java through the paces.

Cheers,

Setiathome?

2002-12-08 Thread Sean LeBlanc
I hope this isn't a dumb question, or worse, a FAQ...

Is there a version of setiathome that works under current?

Cheers,

I'm as confused as a baby in a topless bar.
