by Hello all,
I 've just recently (last night0 reinstalled the WC 4.0 March 2000
release over my previous
3.2 system. Everything seemed to be going pretty well... found most of
the distributions
without any errors and such. This morning I hit a bit of a snag
though... actually two of
them. I've included some info below about he problems and would greatly
appreciate any
enlightening thoughts:
User-Side PPP Wierdness
I configured the kernel with a slightly modified version of the config
file that I've used under
3.2 and a few previous releases (had to change it for the device name
changes, IPv6, and
other new fun stuff). Either way, I've left my sio* configuration the
same.
The problem that I am having is that ppp hangs the computer as soon as I
try to dial or
even enter term mode... I've tacked some dmesg output and my config file
to the end of this
message. I'm pretty sure that this is a config problem with my modem,
but I can't seem to
solve it. I believe (but I can't really remember) that my modem worked
well under the 3.x
branch due to the pnp0 controller, but there doesn't seem to be a pnp
controller or device in
4.x (even though the man page is there for it). The dmesg output
complains a lot about not
being able to identify the PNP devices... However, I believe that my
sio0 device has a
16550 UART and dmesg has it listed differently.
X-Window Authorization Problem
The X problem is even better... this has got to be something truly
stupid. I can runsa startx
and everything works fine (including default color depth and
resolution). However, when I
run xdm it's a different story. First of all the xlogin widget comes up
in black-and-white
even though the xdm configuration says it should be in color. Whenever I
log in, the session
just exits and returns to the login prompt. When I look at
~/.xsession-errors there us an
authorization error connecting to the server. I checked and the server
socket is most
certainly there (at port 6000). Here's the error:
Xlib: connection to ":0:0" refused by server
Xlib Client is not authroized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display :0
I couldn't see anything wrong in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm anywhere. I've
also tried setting
the DISPLAY env var in my .profile without any success.
Well that's about it for now... I'm gonna keep going over my
configuration to see if I've
missed anything, but it looks pretty standard so far.
Either way, any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, yeah, here is a
copy of my dmesg
output and config file.
BTW: is FreeBSD going to decide on a device naming convention and stick
with it any time
soon???
