Very Computer

Problem 1:
        I have X up 'n' running on my machine and it all works ok (i think)
        but then X-term comes up it will not accept any keyboard input
        even though the prompt comes up ?

        Any Idea ?

Problem 2:
        Where is sgtty.h ?

Cheers

BTW. Has anyone ever try re-partitioning hda1 into 2 partitions while keeping,
what was, hda2 intact.

Well I guess I will give this one a shot.

 I had this problem until I RTFM (/install.base or some thing )
 You may have a problem with your devices.
 Check that you created /dev/tty0 and then linked /dev/console
 to it.  You have to run mknod to create the /dev/tty0 device.
 Read the install notes in / .

 PS: Don't try to link /dev/tty0 to the /dev/console that exists
     under the MCC 95a install.

  Well, I don't think that Linux yet supports sgtty.
  A lot of code will have ifdefs to work around this problem.

 Not I. Need to though.  I set aside a 100MB part. before I found
 out that Linux had a limit.  Now, with DOS, OS2 2.0, and Linux
 running I am not in a big hurry to re-part.

Ok, I have Linux 0.95c root and 0.96a boot (I think those letters are right,
I'm not sure)  I pretty much have a working system right now, gcc, g++, gnu
emacs, man pages, adduser, ...  However, I have never applied a patch to
anything and I don't even have the source code for the Kernel.  My question
is how important is it to have the source, apply the patches, etc.  I tried
to compile ps yesterday, and it was looking for things that I don't have, ie
it was looking for Linux source I assume, but I can live with out ps for
now as things work fairly well now.  What I'm wondering now, though, is what
happens when new releases come out?  I've seen a 0.96a root/boot whatever,
is it easier to get new copies of the compiled kernel, or to apply the patches
and recompile???

Also, I cannot get pcomm or xcomm to work at all.  Everything looks like it
should work, but I never hear a dial tone, or anything.  I've read every
FAQ.serial/letter/etc. and I set the minor/major numbers and I've even tried
other com ports, but nothing seems to help.  One thing though, I'm using an
internal modem configured as com3, has anyone else had a problem with
internal modems???

Other than that I am very happy with this system!!!  I have a 60 meg Dos/60
meg Linux system.  I only use the Dos part to d/l stuff for Linux, or
to do homework.  I'd rather do my homework on Linux, but I haven't seen
Akcl yet.  Does anyone know where the source is, if someone tells me where
to get it, I'll try a port.  (Although I guess I'll have to learn about
diff/patch first :D )

Nowere :-( But I wrote a sglib with works fine for me, I have not postet
it because its very buggy :-(

If you want I can mail it to you. But you have to add a lot of features before
its a real sgtty :-(
