Re: startx : Fatal server error: Can't set keyboard mode - follow-up



Hello,

XWindows finally work on my Jornada 680. Many thanks to Valeriy who suggested to recompile the kernel with the following options in the config file :

options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT # emulate some ioctls
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS # emulate some ioctls
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL # VT handling
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD # can get raw scancodes

So, after 2 days of compilation (Tools and Kernel) on my old pentium machine, it finally worked.

I noticed that the config file for the kernel in the current branch contains reference to :
---------------
hpcapm0    at mainbus0
apmdev0    at hpcapm0
---------------

Although they generate error in compilation is this the forecast of power management implemented on the jornada ?

Thanks

Alain

I will try this during the weekend and keep the news group informed of the
results.  Is the config file for the GENERIC kernel set up this way in
order to be more hardware independent or should it have these options
included for future releases ?

If has them in -current, but they were not pulled up to 2.0.

Unfortunately, very few people work on hpcsh code, so release branch
often tends to be "ignored" :(.

SY, Uwe
