The Famous X Problem (first but not last) report !
!Well, now I think that X won't ever came up on my Nec 3FG (anyone
thinking that I am an optimist ? :-). Neither mine attempts or my
friend's ones gave the espected results.
First, the use of binpatch is a little bit strange:
[0]8.Work:NetBSD> binpatch
NAME
binpatch - Allows the patching of BSD binaries
SYNOPSIS
binpatch [-HELP]
binpatch [-b|-w|-l] -s symbol[[[index]][=value]] binary
binpatch [-b|-w|-l] [-o offset] -s symbol [-r value] binary
binpatch [-b|-w|-l] [-o offset] -a address [-r value] binary
[0]8.Work:NetBSD> binpatch -s _rh_default_gfx -r 1 netbsd.pat
_rh_default_gfx(0xb4e84): 4 (0x4)
[0]8.Work:NetBSD> binpatch -s _rh_default_gfx -r 1 netbsd.pat
_rh_default_gfx(0xb4e84): 4 (0x4)
[a second issue of the command return the same value, why ?]
[0]8.Work:NetBSD> binpatch -s _rh_default_mon -r 1 netbsd.pat
_rh_default_mon(0xb4e80): 0 (0x0)
[0]8.Work:NetBSD> binpatch -s _rh_default_mon -r 1 netbsd.pat
_rh_default_mon(0xb4e80): 0 (0x0)
BTW: shall I use one of those switches : -b -w -l ???
(maybe the default -l option is not right ?)
Second, even with "xinit -- -mode 23" nothing changes.
This has been tried also on the NetBSD installation of Diego Cortassa
(cguida@di.unito.it) with the same results.
I read a long time ago (a few months) in comp.unix.amiga that another
NetBSD user has the same problems (sorry no other info on him).
Well, I think that we (NetBSD Amiga _users_) need a more flexible
handling of X resolutions (and related parameters) , maybe with a
Xconfig file like Linux (with a more "human" default :-).
Maybe you could answer also to this question (not X related, sorry):
Why this fstab entry doesn't mount the ados partitions ?
/dev/sd1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd1d /mnt/wb ados ro 0 2
/dev/sd1e /mnt/work ados ro 0 2
/dev/sd1f /usr ufs rw 1 2
/dev/sd0d /mnt/transito ados ro 0 2
/dev/sd0e /mnt/temp ados ro 0 2
/dev/fd0a /mnt/df0 ados ro 0 2
mount_ados says that "ro" is an unknown option...
(sad) Bye...
