I went to the trouble of building this new vmunix for people to try/use.
I've fixed the following things:
1. reboot and /dev/reboot fixed
(replaced pc@() addressing with abs addressing in locore.s)
2. applied some unpublished patches to grf_cc given to me by
chopps. I will let him make the patches public (they are
his, after all).
3. modified the grf_cc sources for pal display to set max
width to 768 and max height to 578. Previous values were
724 and 566. ALl I changed was initialization values to
these. I don't promise they work at that rez :-)
4. modified kbd.c to have 200us delay for handshaking. To the best
of my knowledge, this should fix the key repeat problems
that some are having. I can't promise it works. Markus W.
has informed me that the fix I made only affects keyboard
during prompts for mmu panic, etc. THere were two places
in the source that used 85us, and mtk already fixed one of
them.
5. The _ite_default_height is set to 448 and _ite_default_width
is set to 688. Why? because I want my X at that resolution :-)
So, if you want to fiddle with the values, try chopps'
iteconfig stuff or use binpatch on the amigaos side:
binpatch -s _ite_default_height -r 400 (or whatever) vmunix.721
binpatch -s _ite_default_width -r 640 (or whatever) vmunix.721
Notes:
You must use the loadbsd in .../NetBSD-Amiga/bin/loadbsd from
ftp.eunet.ch for any kernel >= 720 to work.
chopps' patch has X working wonderfully for me.
If you want to compile X programs, you must link -static.
This is due to the X11R5 libs not being shared libs (yet).
Please french guys: make new shared X libs and release
retina server soon :-))))
I have xdm working. I had to recompile xdm from X11R5 source
tree (got it from ftp site) and link with -lcrypt to get it
to really work. The xdm distributed with X11R5 does NOT
do shadow passwords correctly. I'm not sure I can upload
a working binary, as such... But you now know how to make
your own xdm (remember gcc -static for linking).
Once you have your working xdm (test it as root:
xdm -nodaemon) you can have netbsd autostart xdm from
your /etc/ttys file. Here's two lines from my file
so you can see what to change/add:
#console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt200 on secure # ITE console
console "/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon" vt200 on secure
Warning: if you don't have fixed xdm binary, then xdm will
not let you login if you have ANY password at all. You can
vipw and remove your password and use the xdm distributed
by the french genii :-)
Another X tip: you can use xmodmap to remap your mouse buttons
on a two button mouse. I needed this so I could select with
left button and paste with right (in xterm, etc.). To do this,
add to your ~/.xsession:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2"
