But maybe not? Buying 7.3 is certanly an good option, but I think we can fix it :) Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...

upgraded kernel - kde now freezes.
by Jonathon Wallen 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi all, I've upgraded from 2.2.16 kernel to 2.4.2-11, I installed the k-deflt rpm on the linux side .. put the 2.4.2-11.gz file in the /boot directory and use the copy option in lilo to copy the vmlinux file over to the hfs partition so I can boot it with bootx.. I also upgraded ppp and modutils. now I can boot into my new kernel but I only get about 5 minutes in kde before it freezes completely forcing me to hard reboot the machine. what am I doing wrong? I'm using a B&W G3 with a Suse 7.0 install. many thanks, -- - ____________________________ - Jonathon Wallen - B,DES College of Fine Arts, UNSW - z2213441(a)student.unsw.edu.au - jwal707(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - jonathon(a)fridge.unsw.edu.au - ____________________________

Recipe: how to set up the display on powerbook wallstreet
by Damir Buskulic 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi, After having fought for a few days, I found a way to set up the accelerated display on a Powerbook Wallstreet G3. If one just installs Suse 7.3, it is impossible to get the right XF86Config file from SaX2 with the ati driver. The modelines are not correct and give, at best a white screen. Scary. So the recipee is the following : - First, make the installation, and when the screen section comes, try to specify the fbdev driver - then, the most annoying part, you have to rebuild the Suse kernel so it does not have the aty64fb driver in (no Mach64 driver, nor as a module, nor included into the kernel). The aty128fb should be present (Rage128). If this is not done, there is an interaction between the two and you see a split screen. - If you already tried to install, run "sax2 -m 0=fbdev", and as previously, set up the display using fbdev. - This works but is not accelerated. - Now, you will have to tweak manually the file /etx/X11/XF86Config. In this file, replace the 'Driver "fbdev"' line in the "Device" section by 'Driver "ati"' - I also added "-HSync -VSync" to the "Modeline "1024x768"" line of the "Modes" section, but I don't know if it is really necessary. - The DefaultDepth should be 15 (thousands of colors) , it doesn't work correctly with 16 or 24 (millions of colors) That's it, when you reboot, the display should be accelerated. I hope these instructions will be useful (even in SDB ?)

Sound for PowerMac B&W
by Thomas Ruschival 06 Jan '02

06 Jan '02

Hi, It seems quite odd, but I´m unable to get sound out of my Powermac Running the new SuSE7.3 PPC with improved Sound support.... Well I tried all methods I have been applying to such problems since SuSE 7.0 x86, no avail. If I try 'modprobe dmasound' or 'modprobe dmasound_pmac' Linux says it cant find the module 'dmasound', although I found it under /lib/modules/2.4.12/kernel/sound/dmasound. Same with 'insmod awacs' etc. Since SuSE claims the capabilities of yast 2 I tried a new installation completely using YAST2. Yast 2 detects my souns system as snd0burgundy. But when it comes to the point it should start th sounddriver there is a sort *knack* and the whole System is frozen, no mousemovement no console, no ssh... ..the File mdules.conf is totally scrambled, somtimes rc.config as well. ALSAconf detects my soundchip as 'Awacs' makes some entries in modules.conf but when it wants to start the sound driver .... Same as Yast2 see above. Has anyone got a running soundsyste on a PowerMac G3 B&W ? Do you know what to do? Thanks Thomas

APM paket /web cam
by Ritchie-W＠t-online.de 06 Jan '02

06 Jan '02

Hello list, I try to find the APM paket (should located in the series ap) according to the sdb database articel "apmd". But there is no APM paket on the PowerPC 7.1 CDROM and as well a series ap. As well, I would like to run a web cam on my powerbook G3 Wallstreet (old world) across a USB PCMCIA card. But the cardmanager did not identify the card. In the list of supported card I did not find USB cards, but this was for Intel Computers. Any tipps ? Best regards Richard

kernel upgrade
by Jonathon Wallen 06 Jan '02

06 Jan '02

Hi, I have upgraded my kernel from 2.2.16 to 2.4.2 but suspect I'm still booting into the old kernel. I'm using a B&W G3 and booting with BootX . Is there some step I should take to ensure I'm booting into the correct kernel? Is there anyway I can tell which kernel is currently in use? many thanks. -- - ____________________________ - Jonathon Wallen - B,DES College of Fine Arts, UNSW - z2213441(a)student.unsw.edu.au - jwal707(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - jonathon(a)fridge.unsw.edu.au - ____________________________

Oddly placed EuroSign on French Symbols table
by Damir Buskulic 06 Jan '02

06 Jan '02

Hi, I just noticed a very unpleasant feature of the French X symbols table for the keayboard. The Euro Sign replaces the Dollar sign. This is really unfortunate. Not because I'm pro american (!) but because, when one develops shell scripts for example, one really NEEDS the dollar sign. So what I did was to modify the french keymap in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh/fr . Not very handy. While we are on these, there is also an inconsistency for the console french keymap. When one sets up the french version of Suse 7.3, the system expects a map called /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/mac/all/mac-fr-latin1.map.gz but it doesn't exist. I just made a link from /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/mac/all/mac-fr-latin1.map.gz to /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/mac/all/mac-fr.map.gz which, indeed is present. That's all for today Cheers Damir ===================================================================== | Damir Buskulic | Universite de Savoie/LAPP | | | Chemin de Bellevue, B.P. 110 | | Tel : +33 (0)450091600 | F-74941 Annecy-le-Vieux Cedex | | e-mail: buskulic(a)lapp.in2p3.fr | FRANCE | ===================================================================== mailto:buskulic@lapp.in2p3.fr

OpenAFS on Suse7.3
by Markus Skowronek 04 Jan '02

04 Jan '02

Hello there, After upgrading from Suse7.0-ppc to 7.3-ppc I'm not able to compile OpenAFS 1.2 and later. Using 7.0 had no Probs - now getting several probs: (apparently this will be the same in 7.3-i386) using "./configure" will result into: ---snip--- checking your OS... configure: warning: No usable linux headers found at /usr/src/linux so disabling kernel module linux checking your AFS sysname... configure: error: Couldn't guess your Linux version. Please use the --with-afs-sysname option to configure an AFS sysname. ---snip--- so using "./configure --with-afs-sysname=ppc_linux24" will work, except following message: ---snip--- checking your OS... configure: warning: No usable linux headers found at /usr/src/linux so disabling kernel module linux ---snip--- however now you're ready to "make" that will result into: ---snip--- /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall afs.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs/afs.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall LINUX/osi_inode.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs/osi_inode.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall afs_stats.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs/afs_stats.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall exporter.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs/exporter.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall nfsclient.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs/nfsclient.h case ppc_linux24 in \ pmax_ul43 | pmax_ul43a) \ /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall longc_procs.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs ;; \ esac case ppc_linux24 in \ *linux* ) \ /root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/pinstall/pinstall LINUX/osi_vfs.h /root/openafs-1.2.2a/include/afs ;;\ * ) \ echo No vfs headers to install for ppc_linux24;; \ esac Can't open source file ``LINUX/osi_vfs.h'': No such file or directory make[3]: *** [all] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/openafs-1.2.2a/src/afs' make[2]: *** [afs] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/openafs-1.2.2a' make[1]: *** [build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/openafs-1.2.2a' make: *** [all] Error 2 ---snip--- Note: similar problems appeared with earlier OpenAFS-Releases(<1.2) on Suse7.0ppc, that could have been solved by installing several additional lib* plus lib*-devel - however not this time ->now I'm at the end of my Ideas. Any Hints?? Many Thanks in advance, Markus
