What for?</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) (Answered)</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) (Answered)</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Some of the device special files are missing when using devfs.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>devfsd is running (loaded at the beginning of rc.S by init).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There was no /dev/lp0 on my system, even though module lp was loaded.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After creating this file explicitly with mknod, the printer worked.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) This problem is probably the fault of X11 - it doesn't repaint the screen properly</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after coming out of console mode. I have to switch back and forth several times</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>before I get a proper repaint. May be related to using framebuffer with X.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>X crashes and locks completely when using sound. Anyone know why?</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>6) When going through the bash command history (using the arrow keys)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>while in framebuffer mode, there will be a pause for about 3 seconds - during this time,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the system is totally frozen until this pause has expired. Any ideas on this?</FONT></DIV> <DIV>I know this is a problem with bash - this problem doesn't occur when using tcsh.</DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>7) How does one disable the display of the penguin logo when booting in framebuffer</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mode so that all video lines are available for text? I know this can be removed with setfont</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and possible fbset, but I would prefer the video display be "normal" from the start. Thanks.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> -- Ted</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
