bruby additional mirrors & may be addon for the FAQ

[Svetoslav S. <ga...@st...>]

Hi Aivilis,
could you add this to your mirrors list:

http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~sls35340/aivils/ [Germany]
http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/aivils/  [ UK ](may be a bit slower single
ADSL)

and what do you think about adding to your site my patch for XF-4.3 and
binaries
(probably marked as ALPHA quality as AFAIK only i have tested them,
but it works stable for me) 

about the FAQ:

Q: How can i run bruby and standard 2.4 kernel without having to change all the
time the X and display manager configuration 
A: (something i found in my Mandrake's rc.sysinit) it should probably work
    with Red Hat as well, others may be?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (pixel) a kind of profile for XF86Config
# if no XFree=XXX given on kernel command-line, restore XF86Config.standard
for i in XF86Config XF86Config-4; do 
    if [ -L "/etc/X11/$i" ]; then
        XFree=`sed -n 's/.*XFree=\(\w*\).*/\1/p' /proc/cmdline`
        [ -n "$XFree" ] || XFree=standard
        [ -r "/etc/X11/$i.$XFree" ] && ln -sf "$i.$XFree" "/etc/X11/$i"
    fi
done
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
move your XFConfig-4(the one for standard 2.4 kernel) to XF86Config-4.standard
move your XFConfig-4(the one for standard bruby kernel) to XF86Config-4.bruby
make a sym link from one of them to XFConfig-4
so booting with XFree=bruby argument will link XF86Config-4.bruby to
XFConfig-4,
booting with no XFree argument or XFree=standard -- 
will link XF86Config-4.standard to XFConfig-4
:) X server is done :)


i modified the above to change my display manager configuration upon dumbcon=
(it seems to work for me, but i don't relly know how to use sed :( )
the lines below should restore the apropriate config for xdm,gdm,kdm
the files should end with:
.0 -- start only the first X server
.1 -- start 2 Xservers
.2 -- start 3 Xservers  
....
( if you are useing kdm make shure that 
($KDE-PREFIX)/share/config/kdm/Xservers
is a sym link to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers ) 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#the same like XF86Config but for gdm.conf & Xservers
#
for i in xdm/Xservers gdm/gdm.conf; do 
    if [ -L "/etc/X11/$i" ]; then
        DumbCon=`sed -n 's/.*dumbcon=\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p' /proc/cmdline`
        [ -n "$DumbCon" ] || DumbCon=0
        [ -r "/etc/X11/$i.$DumbCon" ] && ln -sf "/etc/X11/$i.$DumbCon"
"/etc/X11/$i"
    fi
done
----------------------------------------------------------------------   


comments are very wellcome :)
