Re: [Newbie]Using an X server remotely.
Thanks for the tips. I hadn't bothered installing KDE because I didn't think it would work. Maybe I'll try it now.

If Cygwin supports XDM then you need to make sure one of (xdm or kdm or gdm) is running on the host and configured to allow remote logins. If you can not use XDM then you can project X clients on the Cygwin machine. The host machine must have the Cygwin/Display machine in it's /etc/hosts table, in it's /etc/hosts.allow file. Then you can telnet into the host and set the DISPLAY environment variable and launch your X applications.

That way I can develop on my desktop PC using the cygwin X-client and use emacs instead. When I telnet into the embedded computer and run 'startx' I get Fatal server error : fs86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such device) Yet /dev/tty0 does exist ! It is mapped to the local serial port and works fine. I have a bash shell running on it ! I did remember to edit my startx script so that xinit is being called as follows : xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- :192.168.1.3:0 -auth /root/.Xauthority How can I get X to start without needing a local console ? I would like all I/O to be directed to my Windows PC and not to local hardware. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Re : [Newbie]Radeon 9000 : working but !!!!
On Wed, 2002-11-27 at 12:07, Rich wrote: Hi Rich, I've got RH 8 box running an ATi 9000 PRO as well. My card is made by Saphire and is so classed as a Powered By ATi card, rather than a Built By ATi which is what ATi classes as the card they've made themselves. They do support MDK 9 with these drivers so it is probably the best bet for you. Here is how I installed them on RH 8. As root: 1. init 3 in GNOME, drop me to a console (no X for safety). 2. rpm -i --force ati_drivers.rpm 3. fglrxconfig to set-up /etc/X11/X86Config Now this caused one problem initially. The fglrxconfig adds this line to the XF86Config: BusID PCI:1:0:0# vendor=1002, device=496e For me, the BusID was PCI:1:0:1 - can be found via lspci. If it is the wrong one, you'll get no screens found and it won't get very far. Also, you can just comment this line out as XFree86 will generally find a graphics card itself if there is just one in the system. Then I ran into this problem using ATi's fglrx driver module: (--) fglrx(0): Chipset: Radeon RV250 If (Chipset = 0x4966) (--) fglrx(0): (PciSubVendor = 0x148c, PciSubDevice = 0x2039) (--) fglrx(0): board vendor info: third party grafics adapter - NOT original ATI (--) fglrx(0): Linear framebuffer (phys) at 0xd800 (--) fglrx(0): MMIO registers at 0xe900 (--) fglrx(0): ChipRevID = 0x00 (--) fglrx(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kByte (64-bit DDR SDRAM) (EE) fglrx(0): board/chipset is not supported by this driver (third party board) (EE) fglrx(0): PreInitConfig failed Because my card is a Powered By ATi card, it doesn't work. I then got hexedit from freshmeat.net and used it to alter this file: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o To get it work hexedit offset 0x626e: 74 44 -- 90 90 Start X and it works just fine. Note I didn't find the above, but it does work. Even OpenGL flies along now!! If you need extra info, ask further! Cheers, Rich Hi, I posted some stuff a few days ago asking about getting a mobile 9000 working on FreeBSD. I have tried all the things that have been suggested (plus some), but to no avail. Since then, I have replaced FreeBSD with Mandrake 9.0 (I didn't want to do this to be honest - I really wanted to use BSD, but I simply can't affort the time to get X working on it, and I really NEED X). Anyway, what I'm getting to is. I have now managed to get my 9000 working in VESA mode. It doesn't run too bad, but if you can tell me what you did to get your 9000 working (in '9000' mode), then I would be really greatful. I tried selecting 'radeon' in the Drakxconfig when I installed Mandrake, but when I tested it from within the config tool, it told me it couldn't find the hardware. I also tried selecting the ATI driver too, but no good. After installation, I played about with the X config manually to try and improve things, but again, no good - it can't find the hardware. It's definitely bringing in the radeon driver (and the ATI one), I've tried forcing a ChipId of 0x4242 (which I believe is the 8500) and 0x4c66 (which is what scanpci returns for my 9000), but it didn;t work. By the way, can someone tell me what the correct syntax for 'ChipId' is ?... ChipID 0x4242 doesn't work - syntax error reported in config file Option ChipID 0x4242 ... no syntax error but doesn't seem to do anything X has also reported on occasion (on startup) that You have a valid configuration, but it's not listed in the * (* = sorry - can't remember the name of the file !!! ...PciConfig or something like that). Anyway, I have tried in the past (with BSD) to add the 0x4c66 chip id to this and it didn't work (mostly because I couldn't select the radeon driver, but that's another story - see previous posts - Where is the the radeon 9000 ??? Anyway, sorry to go on... If you could post up your Xfree config or something, that would be great !! Or any info at all !!!

You're going to have to specify what you mean by copying to Mozilla means. Do you mean pasting into a cgi-bin based form? If so, then that's likely where your problem lies. I can confirm that pasting 13K of text _from_ Mozilla _to_ vim works fine for me. This was using only the standard alphanumeric characters. As soon as quotes and single-quotes were used then the pasting no longer worked. Similarly emdashes.

[Newbie]Bug in ATI Rage 128 driver in XFree-4.2.1 (which was not a bug in XFree-4.2.0)?
Hi. I have been troubled with seeing just a black screen during system shutdown/reboot with XFree-4.2.1. Earlier I had XFree-4.2.0, and all worked perfectly fine. Remember, I am using the same XF86Config in all cases. Then I installed XFree-4.2.0 once again, and discovered that all became perfeclty fine, once again. Is there a minor bug in ATI Rage 128 driver, or is it something else? These things worked on XFree-4.2.1: I did manage to use CTRL-ALT-Fn n = 1-6, and going back to my kde-session with CTRL-ALT-F7. That feature worked. DRI and GLX did also worked in XFree-4.2.1 These feature also work in XFree-4.2.0.
