Dear All,
I've been having some problems setting up my Mac IIcx
with Max Hi-Resolution Video card with Color X Windows.
I've followed all the instructions in the very usefull
HOW-TO documents and tried to get Color X via the LKM method
(since I don't think there's a SLOTMAN-HWDIRECT version out
there yet). Anyway, some problems occurs which I can't quite
figure out.
After configuration, during boot-up, I got some
messages like
<snip>
video_lkm_combined.o:
can't find device file: /dev/lkm
...
So, I created a /dev/lkm using the MAKEDEV script and tried
again. During boot-up, the messages were as follows:
<snip>
video_lkm_combined.o: video_lkm_cmd: Operation not permitted
...
So, I tried compiling the video_lkm_combined.o by myself. That didn't
work either, and when I tried to test the mod_load command in
a single-user state, I get this message:
modload -o /tmp/video -e video_lkm_cmd video_lkm_combined.o
modload: can't reserve memory: Operation not permitted
*** Error code 9
Stop.
So, I'm working on a Mac IIcx, and I tried using the HWDIRECT kernel
and my own cross-compiled kernel (w/o NFS stuff). The Mac has 68MB
of RAM, so I doubt it's running out of memory.
Any ideas?
