xfree86, netscape & Re: Conffiles problem xutils_4.0.2-1

[Gabor Zoltan Csejtey <Gabor.Csejtey@idi.ntnu.no>]

Hi,

I'm not quite sure but I guess I'm not using sunos/solaris emulation.
I compiled the whole stuff (xfree86_4.0.2.orig.tar.gz) under Linux.
Now I'm running 2.4.0 kernel together with XFree86-4.0.2 under Debian 2.2.

About netscape:
I found this link:
http://home.netscape.com/download/index.html
Here select platform gives a lot of choices:

          Intel Solaris 2.4 
          Intel Solaris 2.5.1 
          Linux 1.2 
          Linux 2.0 
          Linux 2.0 (glibc) 
          Linux 2.2 
          MkLinux 2.0 
          SPARC Linux 2.0 
          Solaris 2.4 
          Solaris 2.5 
          Solaris 2.5.1 
          SunOS 4.1.3 
          SunOS 54 (x86) 
          Tru64 UNIX 

/usr/gnemul/solaris/bin/uname -a gives me
SunOS roma 5.6 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

which is really 5.8 if I'm running Solaris. What
communicator/navigator do you suggest to try on Ultra 10?


The problem what I mentioned the colors of the virtual console:
sometimes they change into other ones. e.g. blue/blue for ink/paper
but when I use vlock as root from virtual console and I login the
colors change at first to blue/blue, switching console they change
back to normal white/black. It's like magic...
Of course if I change back to X everything goes back to green/half
brown under the virtual console when I switch back...
I forgot to mention the color changing works with vlock only if I
misspell the password at first.

Other problems are keyboard related: the arrow keys up and left
don't repeat while the other arrow keys work under X...
There's no keyboard problem under virtual console.
I have a Norwegian keyboard SUN with nice Norwegian letters and words,
unfortunatelly so I use a modified Xmodmap to access the tilde dollar etc.
I shall try to use a modified i386 XF86Config for the keyboard I guess.

PS.
I may have done an unfinished job when I fixed(?) the dependencies in
the xfree86-4.0.2/debian/*/DEBIAN/control files. Some of them had
syntactical/semantical errors. e.g. lines ended with coma.
I just put libc6 (>= 2.1.2) as last dependence.
I had to download the *all.deb packages separately.
PPS.
I shall try 2.4.1 kernel soon.

I'm interested in acrobat however I used xpdf without problems.

	Hi,

	I also have these running under potato, just curious however whether you
	use sunos emulation or not?

	Thanks in Advance,
