Hmm, just getting around to setting up MH on my linux box after win98 started crashing every five seconds and am somewhat confused. The docs says pop on over to the CPAN repository and grab the perl Tk module, however when I get there I find dozens and dozens of Tk modules, which one do I actually need? Harondel J.

Just the main Tk module. Might as well grab DB_File while you are at it. From mh/docs/install.html: su root perl -MCPAN -eshell cpan> install Tk cpan> install DB_File cpan> exit Do you think mh was causing the windows98 crashes?? Bruce |

I have it running right now and have redirected stdin and stdout to a file and can post the relevant sections when its done. > Do you think mh was causing the windows98 crashes?? Not in the least, no correlation whatsoever, all the multimedia goodies on this box were causing win98 grief - Tv card, DVD, etc, it got to the point that when watching a movie, I might put the vcr on pause and then when I hit play again, the machine would lock up! Uggh! Now that I have all my multimedia stuff running on linux (haven't setup the Creative Dxr2 dvd stuff yet) it is running much better. Sorry if I implied that Mh was causing the crashes.

Porch presents today! Unfortunately, the new model doesn't have any kind of a mouse passthru, PS/2 -or- serial. Good thing I'm hooking it up to an otherwise headless box. The remote looks an awful lot like the DVD remote I got as a freebie some time ago with a new paint job. Speaking of headless, does anyone know which pins to short to fake a PC into thinking it has a monitor attached to the VGA port? I have half a dozen IBM PC 330's in my orbit and I have to pray they never get rebooted! --sj -- Steve Jackson Enterprise NT Admin for $$ Linux Admin for :) - finger for PGP public key - |

Steve, I have part of the answer for you: The monitor ID bits on the VGA connector are on these pins: ID0-------->pin 12 ID1-------->pin 11 ID2-------->pin 4 The rest of the pins are: RED-------->pin 1 GND-------->pin 6 (this pin returns the red signal through 75 ohms) GREEN------>pin 2 GND-------->pin 7 (this pin returns the green signal through 75 ohms) BLUE------->pin 3 GND-------->pin 8 (this pin returns the blue signal through 75 ohms) DGND------->pin 10 HSYNC------>pin 13 VSYNC------>pin 14 To program the ID, you would take some combination of ID0, ID1, ID2 and short them to DGND (pin 10) DO NOT USE pins 6, 7, or 8 for grounding the ID bits! To figure out which ones need shorting, just measure the resistance of the ID pins (with respect to pin 10) on a monitor. For reference, the pinout of the VGA connector as seen by looking at it on the back of the computer is: 5 4 3 2 1 O O O O O O O O O O 6 O O O O O 15 14 13 12 11 Another 10 minutes of playing around and you'll have your answer...

All of my pc's have a selection in the bios that tells it what to do on errors (AMI) I just set then to ignore the errors and boot. On Mon, 28 Feb 2000, Steven V.

Most modern (made in the last 6 years or so and even older by Award) would allow you to set a halt on XXX in the main/first bios setup screen XXX = keyboard, video, all or none That's how I have my floppy based firewall reboots after the power goes out/power cable gets pulled out, reset button gets bumped. Works great, from memory of that model, I am almost certain there is a bios setting for that. Harondel J.

P75's with 16MB, so they *are* old. They don't even POST without a monitor connected. Just 8 beeps, like an Award board with bad (or no) RAM. I'll bet I could make a killing if I could just buy a list of PC 330 and 350 owners somewhere. :) If I can short a resistor between two pins in a case the size of the firecracker, I'd sell 'em like hot cakes. -- Steve Jackson Enterprise NT Admin for $$ Linux Admin for :) - finger for PGP public key - |

> t/X.................ok > t/balloon...........Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server I think some installs might disable local X display for root users, for security reasons. As run, can you run something like xclock? If not, try 'xhost localhost', and try again. If thats not the problem, I'm out of ideas. |

I knew about that, my concern was the last line or two that said something about an error in finding "Coredump" or some such. The xhost localhost fails also, but I can troubleshoot that at a later time. Harondel J.
