Ah, you're trying to use CDE with XFree86. I don't have a Solaris box available right now, and I never bothered to work out how dtlogin is configured when I did. You'll need to find out how dtlogin is configured to decide what X server to start, and point that to the XFree86 server instead of the Sun X server. IIRC, the Sun X executables were in /usr/bin/X11, and the XFree86 equivalent would be /usr/X11R6/bin. You'll have to grovel through /etc/rc.d to find how dtlogin is started, and that should lead you to where it finds out what X server to start, and then you can just change that from something like /usr/bin/X11/Xsun to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. With that and the man pages you should be able to figure it out eventually. Bear in mind that I'm working from vague memories, by guess and by gosh here, so don't expect the details to be correct.

Oooh. Why do you want to do that? It makes it that much easier for someone looking over your shoulder to crack your passwd. If he can count the keyclicks he hears and compare it to the number of stars he sees he can even tell how many of the characters are shifted. A quick look at the man page shows a lot of configurable stuff, but not that. I'll assume you took a closer look. If you insist on doing this you'll have to dig into the code. Looks like the authentication widget is called xlogin. libXdmGreet may also be involved.

[Newbie]X 4.2.0 , GATOS DRM and Rage Fury Pro AGP trouble(oh my)
Ok so I've downloaded the X 4.2.0 source and added the DRM kernel to it and compiled the DRM source to get the DRM kernel drivers. (Note: I did not compile XFree 4.2.0 as I had installed it from binaries - potential mistake) I then installed the ATI 4.2.0 drivers by moving the tar to /usr and untarring. (is that all ? - potential mistake #2) The problems: #1 If I run XINE with my two monitors enabled it'll go for a while and then lock up. It used to work but now is quite unreliable. #2 If I connect the TV out, I do not get anything on bootup. (I mean that I get output until X starts up and then lock up) Using the DRM troubleshooting guide, I find the following: #1 Using dmesg it says [drm:r128_cce_start] *ERROR* r128_cce_start called without lock held #2 In Xfree86 log it says: Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o compiled for 4.0.99.900 Later it says: drmGetBusID returned ' ' AGP didn't init Be sure to load AGPGART. And still later: loading theatre compiled for 4.0.99.900 This seems to say to me that some of the modules I need are not compiled for 4.2.0 but do I need to compile XFree86 completely to get this going or what ? Any input is appreciated Tom
Re: [Newbie](no subject)
to OT: don't start messing around with ATI if u r not sure bout support, too much trouble with ATI here. Wanna buy my Voodoo 3 2000 AGP?

[Newbie]Why would RH7.1 with the Laptop Install require a SMP kernel?
I am a newbie to linux. I am interested in updating the Red Hat 7.1 (Seawolf) I have installed, using the Laptop selection during the install, on my Dell 8000 (Laptop w/ 1GHz PIII, 256MB RAM, 15SVGA+ LCD, DVD, etc...). I am attempting to use the interesting up2date program. The program skips the kernel updates but indicates: Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... There was a fatal RPM error. The message was: To solve all dependencies for the RPMs you have selected, The following packages you have marked to exclude would have to be added to the set: kernel-smp-2.4.9-21 Why would anything installed with the Laptop install process require the smp kernel? Which package(s) rewquire(s) the smp kernel. I assume I won't need that rpm/package, but I am not sure. Details on how to upgrade the kernel with information on how to fix the Nvidia GeForce Go (32MB) video patch for the kernel would also be appreciated.

RE: [Newbie]Xfree86 4.1.12, FreeBSD4.5, ATI Radeon 7000 VE Duel
Thanks to everyone who was helping me! I found out that the problem was that the XFree86 4.1 drivers for the Radeon VE card where buggy. My screen blacked out because the driver was driving the DVI port instead of the VGA port on my card. I did solve the problem by completely removing XFree86 4.1 from the system and doing a clean install of XFree86 4.2.0 There still seems to be a bug in that the color depth only works at 8 bit setting. If anyone knows how to fix it please share it on the list.

Re: [Newbie]Hint to all folks with ATI cards
Well from what I've heard the XFree binaries are quite okay... I myself used the Slackware files (still I'm surprised it's maintained that fast, taking into account how many ppl use it compared to the big ones like RH/SuSE/debian and so on) and everything is great. What's on my to do list is installing GATOS, but I'm a lil afraid it could mess up my sys, and currently I don't have enough space for backup... that is, unless I did it on a loopback on my Windoze disk. What you need is not a second box but rather a second hard disk to play around with - just make the FAT partitions inaccessible and you should be safe... unless you fool around with fdisk not knowing what ur doing, that is.

[Newbie]Installing 4.2.0 onto FreeBSD, from binaries
Well, I was going to post a play-by-play, blow-by-blow description, but it went so smoothly it's probably not worth the bother. The executive summary is: I backed up /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11, and /var/log/xdm-errors, changed the on to off in /etc/ttys and killed xdm, then ran sudo sh ./Xinstall.sh and answered 'y' to almost all the questions (I skipped the Japanese and Postscript docs). Then I changed /etc/ttys back and sudo kill -1 1 and it just came right back up.

Re: [Newbie]Why would RH7.1 with the Laptop Install require a SMP kernel?

Re: [Newbie]Hint to all folks with ATI cards
Actually, I do have a second hard drive, and I really don't use it much - just park stuff there for the weekend backup of graphics files to cds and documents. I know that some people do have multiple distros set up on their machines, and it's probably pretty easy to do. But like I said, I'm a real moron at this point with linux - it's just one step at a time. It takes me about 6- 8 hours to reconfigure everything when I crash everything, which happens pretty regularly when there is a block of 48 or 72 hours with which to try something new. So exactly how do you set up a second distro? I do use lilo, not GRUB, and lilo is one of the few things I never have a problem fooling around with. Unlike compiling - I've tried many dozens of times to compile a linux kernel, with no success. There must be some one small thing I'm doing incorrectly, but I don't know what it is. For example - and this is just one of the things about compiling that eludes me - if I want to change just one thing, like turning on scsi emulation when using Red Hat x.x so one can use an ATAPI cd burner, when I go into xconfigure nothing seems to be set up the way my machine is set up - in other words, it doesn't seem like you can ever just change one thing because the way the machine configures itself seems to follow a different configuration then the way xconfiugre is set up when you go into it. It says I have a pentium when I actually have and AMD AThlon and so forth. And I do not have anywhere near the knowledge to set up everything - I've tried just for the hell of it, many times but like I said, with no success. But this is getting way off the XFree topics. fred On Friday 08 February 2002 18:14, you wrote: Well from what I've heard the XFree binaries are quite okay...
