- Subject: MiNT Problems.
-
-
- Well, the MiNT problems are not due to GCC 258. I've been using 2.4.5
- and I wish I had 2.5.8 again. The new patches cause my system to lock
- up completely every now and then, the older h1 patches just cause an
- "illegal instruction" error every now and then (and my minix filesystem
- is still going nuts again, I wish I knew why).
-
- Anyone know how to turn off MFP 15? My system keeps changing resolutions
- when I switch the monitor (multisync, ST HIGH and ST COLOR). I want to
- be able to switch the thing on the fly, but I guess I'm missing something.
-
- Back to MiNT ... why is IO to terminals so different from IO to pipes or
- files? When I do a read of multiple bytes, it blocks until there is a
- carriage return. How do I get all the bytes available and then return.
- I tried setting the NDELAY flag (or IO_NDELAY or whatever it is) in
- Fopen, but it didn't help.
-
- What about flow control and such? Can I change those on the fly?
