However if your graphic chip doesn't support AA you're lost. Do 'xdpyinfo' in an xterm and see whether there is RENDER among the list of extensions. The next pitfall is that qt might not be compiled with the -xft option. I don't know how to check this, but try 'ldd libqt.so' and see whether it lists libXft then I guess everything is enabled. But I might be wrong on this one. Are you using KDE? In newer version (>= 2.1) the ControlCenter has an option to enable AA. You also could try to enable AA by defining the environment variable 'export QT_XFT=1'. HTH, -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Marcus Raitner Lst.

Hi ! Ich habe hier einen interessanten Effekt, wenn ich Lyx starte: "sigill in main_arena() form /lib/libc.so.6" Es wurde allso eine illegale Operation ausgeführt. Möglicherweise ist die C-Library etwas falsch übersetzt ?? Hat jemand eine Lösung ? Mein System: PPC G3 (Apple IBook) PPC-Suse 7.1 Danke ! -- Dipl.-Ing.

LILO PPC needs to be updated
by Andrei Verovski 16 Jul '01

16 Jul '01

Hi, Attention SuSE Linux PPC 7.0 and 7.1 users! 1) LILO PPC (from SuSE Linux PPC 7.0 and 7.1) overwrites all corresponding items each time you run lilo command in terminal, including yaboot. Thus, if you load Linux kernel from ReiserFS partition your ReiserFS-enabled yaboot will be replaced with older version. The solution is to replace old yaboot which belongs to LILO PPC package (located in /boot directory) with ReiserFS enabled yaboot 1.2.1 or later. 2) Also, LILO PPC from SuSE Linux PPC 7.0 and 7.1 assumes Linux as default OS. Thus, to boot MacOS, you need to press space key. This is not convenient if MacOS is your primary workspace environment. Solution: just swap these statements in os-chooser script and save backup copy, since LILO PPC overwrite it next time you run lilo command. Boots MacOS: " Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot hd:xx,\\:tbxi" eval Boots Linux: " screen" output " Booting Yaboot ..." cr " boot hd:yy,\\yaboot" eval PS. Olaf, please update LILO. For many newbies this is so not obvious. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

dual booting G3 suse7.0
by Jonathon Wallen 14 Jul '01

14 Jul '01

Hi all, I've got ppp working using kppp now but am still having trouble with dual booting. It seems that I can get either os-chooser to be tbxi or yaboot to be tbxi but not both at the same time (is this what's supposed to happen?). If I make my boot partition the start up disk with os-chooser being tbxi then I get a flashing question mark.. If I do the same except with yaboot being tbxi then I get a boot: prompt but if I type "linux", or anything else for that matter, it just returns to a new line and gives me the boot: prompt again. I followed the manual's instructions carefully:- 1) put suseboot on my boot (HFS) partition. 2) made that partition the startup disk. 3) booted into linux from cd1 4) edited (as root) lilo.conf - then ran lilo (I double checked I had set the correct address for the boot partition, this seemed to work perfectly) 5) rebooted and got a flashing question mark... this my os-chooser boot script:- <BOOT-SCRIPT> " get-key-map" " keyboard" open-dev $call-method dup 20 dump 5 + c@ 08 = if " Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot hd:5,\\:tbxi" eval else " Booting Yaboot ..." cr " boot ultra1:8,\\yaboot" eval then </BOOT-SCRIPT> and this is my yaboot.conf :- timeout = 100 default = linux image = ultra1:10,/boot/vmlinux label = linux root = /dev/hdb10 append = "load_ramdisk=1 " Here's my partition tables (at least the relevant partitions) as I understand them to be:- MacOs /dev/hda5 boot /dev/hdb8 root /dev/hdb10 swap /dev/hdb9 I'm using a blue & white G3 with MacOs 8.6 Should I be using bootx? is that even possible on a ppc? any help with this would be much appreciated . -- - ____________________________ - Jonathon Wallen - B,DES College of Fine Arts, UNSW - z2213441(a)student.unsw.edu.au - ____________________________

Another yaboot/ReiserFS glitch and solution
by Andrei Verovski 13 Jul '01

13 Jul '01

Hi, I have found anther yaboot 1.2.1 (ReiserFS enabled) glitch related to loading kernel from ReiserFS partition (2.4.2, 2.4.7pre3). My boot unexpectedly stopped working (I have no idea why), reconfiguration with LILO PPC without "copy" option did not helped either... Even reformatting Linux HFS boot partition and complete fresh re-install of all items had no effect. Loading kernel, please wait... Image not found... Default catch code = 300 SRR0 00000000 SRR1 00083030 SOLUTION: I had to copy kernel to HFS boot partition (may be also done with LILO PPC "copy" option), and after that everything went fine. Configuration: iBook Indigo, SuSE 7.1, single Linux ReiserFS partition, ReiserFS enabled yaboot 1.2.1, SuSE kernel 2.4.2 and 2.4.7pre3. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

Re: PPC Boot stopped working at all
by Andrei Verovski 12 Jul '01

Hi, Olaf, I have copied linux kernel and system map to HFS boot, and now I have been able to boot with sacrifice of stability: 1 out of 3 start-ups locked up with garbled screen. It seems HFS code are quite buggy. I am sure Linux will not work stable because time to time it have to load certain portions of kernel using those buggy HFS routines. Anyway, I would like to restore my previous way of booting with kernel on reiserfs /boot partiton. I did everything, even completely reformatted hfs boot partition, nothing helped. ------------------------------- >Jeff noticed some strange memory corruption with a ext2+reiserfs >configuration, I guess that is related. It seems that it only happens >when yaboot finds both a ext2 and a reiserfs partition on the drive. In my case yaboot just presented a white screen, so I have erased ext2. >Its some sort of memory corruption. Solution for now is: >use either reiser or ext2 only. if you have reiserfs only, put the >kernel on the HFS partition. I do not have ext2 partitions at all, just single reiserfs. >"reset-all" is something like "reboot" in OF, that doesnt change >anything. OK, but how to reset all OF variables? ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski(a)bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site * ********************************************************

Pismo & kernel 2.4
by Peter Stummer 12 Jul '01

12 Jul '01

hi, I've installed the kernel 2.4.6 from benh using the rpm from the SuSE ftp site in order to finally get sleep and sound to work on my G3 Powerbook (Pismo, Firewire, 400 MHz). Everything went fine, but when I try to boot with the new kernel it will give me the following error: kernel BUG at slab.c: 1062 ! ...then it simply stops the boot process - only resetting and booting with the 2.2.18 kernel that came with SuSE 7.1 brings me back into Linux again. Has anyone an idea what's going wrong or where I can get a proper kernel binary (including modules, sys map,....) that will work on the Pismo ??? Thanks, Peter
