Hi, I've been using backstreet ruby for a while now, and it works great for me, and also the new 2.6 patch works better than anything I've tried before. I've got 2 X sessions working fine in parallel using different layouts in XF86config. I start them using "startx -- :<screen> -layout <name>" and that works fine. However, since all this is working properly for some time now, I would really like to get the xdm sessions to work, but I'm still experiencing problems with that. I have the following content in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers: (and the same in the kdm config) # $Xorg: Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $ # # Xservers file, workstation prototype # # This file should contain an entry to start the server on the # local display; if you have more than one display (not screen), # you can add entries to the list (one per line). If you also # have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP, # you can add them here as well. Each X terminal line should # look like: # XTerminalName:0 foreign # #:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-head1 -layout head1 vt7 :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-head2 -layout head2 vt17 However, when I start xdm, what happens is that X is started on the second screen, but no login prompt appears. I think the problem is xdm related, since if I remove the :1 line, it starts on the first screen, and the login prompt does appear. Does anyone here have a clue what I'm doing wrong? (I'm using the Gentoo distribution available at www.gentoo.org) Kind regards, Mark. |

Ruby (and backstreet ruby) are looking good! Mark. |

Hmm, haven't looked at it from that point of view yet :-) I'll give it another read, and send back my findings. > > by any chance Gentoo packages of modified XFree ? Modified X server binary for Gentoo (based on 4.3.0-r2 package) can be found here (2Mb): http://hoth.xs4all.nl/~hurenkam/linuxconsole/XFree86-prefid I also created a package (62Mb), but haven't tested it, I just took the binary before I packaged it: http://hoth.xs4all.nl/~hurenkam/linuxconsole/xfree-4.3.0-r2.tbz2 Beware, I have a slow uplink (~15kb/s), so if I can put it elsewhere that would be nice :-) Mark. |

Hi Svetljo, I've been reading your howto again (also because I want to tweak more on my system now, like the arts deamon, and I've installed gdm, which looks great on Gentoo b.t.w. :-), here are my findings: In section 1.1: kernel 2.4 & 2.5 patches are mentioned, perhaps you can add reference to 2.6 patches as well? In section 4.4.: Under Backstreet Ruby, each console is represented by 8 tty's: VGA: tty0 to tty7 DUMB1: tty8 to tty15 DUMB2: tty16 to tty23 I think this is outdated, if I understand correctly, it should now read: current console: tty0 VGA: tty0 to tty16 DUMB0: tty17 DUMB1: tty18 etc. (at least on my 2.6 system I'm using tty7 & tty17 as consoles) In section 6.1 you can add: Gentoo uses: /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers for xdm /usr/kde/<kde version>/share/config/kdm/Xservers for kdm And in section 6.2: Gentoo uses: /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf for gdm I'll get back to you when I've got my artsd & input agent running ;-) > > Modified X server binary for Gentoo (based on 4.3.0-r2 package) > > can be found here (2Mb): > > http://hoth.xs4all.nl/~hurenkam/linuxconsole/XFree86-prefid > > this could probably go to Aivils web site :-) > + available to those that haven't read the howto > + available from 5 mirrors (in Latvia,Germany, UK ,USA > > please send me also Gentoo version, gcc & glibc version > and i'll write to Aivils or you can also write him I'm running Gentoo-1.4rc1, but I keep it up-to-date, which means it's comparable to what you can download/install right now. gcc version 3.2.3 (Gentoo package gcc-3.2.3-r1) glibc version 2.3.2 (Gentoo package glibc-2.3.2-r2) > > I also created a package (62Mb), but haven't tested it, I just > > took the binary before I packaged it: > > http://hoth.xs4all.nl/~hurenkam/linuxconsole/xfree-4.3.0-r2.tbz2 > > > > Beware, I have a slow uplink (~15kb/s), so if I can put it elsewhere > > that would be nice :-) > > it's a source right? > i was afraid of that( that was the only thing that poped in my head when > you mentioned gentoo) > the problem is that i also don't have much web space and it's not a very > fast link :( No, it is not source, it's a binary package (like normal .rpm), but packaged for Gentoo ebuild system. If I have some time to play around, I'll see if I can get a modified ebuild script put together so that people can build their own XFree using the gentoo ebuild command. (That's a rather new area for me, so it may take a while before I figure it out :-( ) > have you worked with rpm? can't you prepare a package similar to my XFree > source rpm's > my src rpms look like: > - we need a compiled XFree tree in the rpm build directory > - we link the XF tree to a new durectory (lndir -silent -ignorelinks) > - patch the new directory, cd to xc/programs/Xserver && make > - then install only the additional modified binary Sounds pretty much like what I did on my Gentoo system... :-) > do you think you can make similar package under gentoo? I'll try the ebuild first (that's gentoo native after all :-), if I can't get it to work, I'll try the rpm approach (which is just as new to me :-( ). Regards, Mark. |
