initscripts
I've just installed a Debian 2.2r2on a G4-400 Black&white, but the thing is that have only a single button mouse. On a web page (http://www.linux-france.org/article/materiel/mac/ , sorry but it's in french) I've read that we can emulate 2nd and 3rd button mouse in the kernel. But now i'd like toput this instructions into an initscript to have them been executed automatically... And I can't find any of the /etc/rc.d/rc.(sysconfig, ...) script that I usually fond on my other Mandrake7.2/i386), is anyone can tell me if these bootscripts exists and where i can find them?
xf4 debs
I'd like to know if someone has some debian packages of xfree4.02 buildon top of potato for the powerpc architecture, and if o where I can download them? Damien

.sit files
Is anyone know if there is a tool with or without GUI to compress/uncompress .sit files. Thanks in advance Damien GUIHAL

backdown JDK / XWindows
Is anyone experienced problems with using the Swing API (and sometimes even AWT API) under linux / Debian PPC ? The problem I have is that when Swing windows opens, it gets very often oversized (and so widgets inside) in height, so much that its heigher than my screen, I mailed blackdown but I got nearly no response. For information, I use the debian testing on a black&White G4 400 PPC. I suppose, it comes from jdk/X interface as it happens with KDE/Enlightenment/WindowMaker, not tested with other window managers. I anyone can help me Damien GUIHAL Nantes, France
strange kernels behavior
I've installed both lastest 2-2-19 and 2-4-8 kernels from testing and I have
some problems using both of them :
while precedent release of 2-2-19 kernel worked really fine for me, lastest
doesn't seem to care about my keymaps. I event tried to manually use loadkeys
to load my keymap and other keymaps, which as no effect, the problem happen in
console and with X. Meanwhile I have a strange bug wich give me some errors if
I want to log into the console, and telnet is not accessible (allowing
connections but leaving before asking a login).
here is the message log.
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:4b (hdb), sector 1067704
hdb: timeout waiting for DMA
hdb: irq timeout: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb: irq timeout: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=7220218,
sector=106770
hdb is my linux hdd while hda is my macos hdd
Meanwhile with the 2-4-8 kernel, I have no keymap problems but I experienced
some system freeze while accessing some files. I experienced the same problem
for 2-2-19 kernel as for console login, excepted that it's not an error message
I have but a system freeze. moreover when the kernel starts it produce a 4
strange lines filled with color rectangles including a circle, I'm pretty sure
that it's not a kernel hacker's joke (but why not :-) ), and get an error
message with the rtc module :
rtc: I/O port 112 is not free.
I must add that I use a mixed testing/unstable system without any broken
dependencies, on a black&white 400MHz G4. I want to mention either that I have
no problem to log with kdm (except the fact that with the 2-2-19 kernel, as the
keymap is completely false, it's not easy to type a correct password :-( )
Thank you for any help

I'm using yaboot, and macos (actually macosX) doesn't seems to complain about
hardware, perhaps my hdb disk is getting tired

I just get the kernel image package from debian testing so the error must be
here I think.

I have the newest console-data (as for yesterday at least), and it didn't
corrected the problem, and event if it's false, why loadkeys didn't have any
effect.

OK thanks, now console is running correctly (even login, why now and not before, that's the question), I almost get X keymap working, but, as I'm a french user, i use a french keyboard, and I do not have special characters : "pipe", "backslash", "tilde", ... is any frech user has any advice to give me? here is my keyboard config file : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard" Driver "Keyboard" Option "AutoRepeat""500 30" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr_FR" EndSection Damien GUIHAL Nantes France pgpvPGqtYOKUt.pgp Description: PGP signature
Compile problem
I'm currently trying to compile Apple WebObjects Adaptor for Apache on my
debian PPC.
The problem is that the compile time doesn't ends happily as it is made for
Solaris and HP-UX.
After a frew changes (2-3 modfied lines of code), I fail on the last error.
Here it is :
cc -O2 -Wall -I../Adaptor -DSINGLE_THREADED_ADAPTOR -DSOLARIS
-DFORKING_WEBSERVER -DAPACHE -c ../Adaptor/wastring.c
../Adaptor/wastring.c: In function `str_vappendf':
../Adaptor/wastring.c:199: invalid initializer
I look at the code and see :
int str_vappendf(String *s, const char *format, va_list args)
{
int i, len, requiredBufferSize;
va_list sizer = args;<-- here is the line 199
/* figure out how much space we will need */
len=1; /* start len at 1 to include the terminator */
To check i tried to compile this code :
#include
int main (void)
{
va_list mytab ;
va_list mysecondtab ;
mysecondtab = mytab;
}
and get :
gcc -o testassign test.c
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:7: incompatible types in assignment
After a few checkings it seems that va_list is declared in stdarg.h is defined
as _gnuc_va_list, which in turn is defined as void *. The problem is that is I
run this small program :
#include
#include
int main (void)
{
printf ("size of va_list : %d", sizeof (va_list));
}
I get :
size of va_list : 12
So I have two questions :
Is va_list a real void * pointer, and if so why is it 12 bytes long?
If not what is it so that gcc can't make by default a copy of it?
Thank you
Damien GUIHAL
Nantes France
P.S. I know about the -DSOLARIS flag in the compilation line, but i think it's
the closest architecture available (HP/UX, SOLARIS, WINNT, MOSXS)
