Re: WebCDwriter

Thanks for reminding me about the sox package.  I will add it to the
dependencies.

I have not had a chance to get to a PC yet, Mike, but I just wanted to check
one thing -- did you specify the param idescsi in your build.conf for the
cdrtools?

Regards,
Jonathan Bowman

parhelia driver?

Before I embark on something I have no idea how to do, does anyone know how I 
can get a Matrox parhelia driver in thinstation?

I realize not many users would use such an expensive card, but Matrox now has a 
low-profile PCI p-650 which will do dual DVI displays at 1600x1200 each, and 
this would be absolutely perfect for my users. I got one of these for testing, 
and then realized that I don't know how to get it working in thinstation.

Matrox has a bizzarro linux (ehem, 'RedHat Linux') driver setup that makes me 
think there may be legal limitations to distributing the driver -- I see nowhere 
on the site you can get the source.

Any thoughts?

MYSQL

Hallo,

i have to implementate a mysql driver to get the config from a mysql 
database.

in some mouth we are having ca. 3000 Thinstation PC´s and they got all 
the config
via tftp.  The problem is to admin all the config files.

So i want to change to get the config via mysql.

Has anyone tested Thinstaion with mysql ?

Thanks and sorry abount my bad english

Well, you would need a TFTP server with MySQL backend. And to serve 
3000 clients, it would have to be a really good multithreaded one.
You're still left with the problem of creating the configurations and 
putting them into MySQL. To me, MYSQL doesn't really solve anything.

My company is developing a windows application to configure and manage 
lots of thin clients, to solve exactly this problem. It is not finished 
yet, so you can't buy it :)

I would suggest you use some scripting languages (perl, python, 
$favourite_scripting_language) to generate the config files with. Maybe 
XML+XSLT?

Re: WebCDwriter

That could be interesting to test if I had the package.  What is the 
remote computer running?  Thinstation?

TS-2.1b10 Xorg vesa driver issues

I think this belongs on the dev list, so i'll repost here.

I'm looking into this thing now, but i wondered one thing: why am i the only one who has a problem with it? :) 
That leads me to the conclusion that i'm forgetting something. 

But then i checked the init script for x-common and found at least one (little) mistake  (echo $X_OPTIONS >>  
instead of  cat $X_OPTIONS >>), so there could be more.

I don't know. Should i keep posting my findings here, or is this considered polution of the ml?

Also, i've not created this script (Miles has, i believe ... duh) so it would be easier to get feedback
instead of me trying to re-invent the wheel.

Re: TS-2.1b10 Xorg vesa driver issues

This is not of much help to you, but beta10 is working fine for me with 
the vesa driver. So at least the completely broken X config file from 
beta9 is fixed.

RE: TS-2.1b10 Xorg vesa driver issues

Weirdness. Because the file ./packages/x-common/etc/init.d/x  has a small typo on line 97:  echo
$X_OPTIONS >> $X_CONFIG

If this is left like this, the name of the variable $X_OPTIONS (which reflects /tmp/x_options) is copied
into the config file, and not the content of the file.

When i boot the client with vesa driver (after i changed the 'echo' to 'cat') there are certain things
missing in XF86Config-0: the entire "Screen" section, the 'Identifier' part of Section "Device" and
maybe more ...

Just to make sure; nothing has to be changed in the thinstation.conf* files, right? I mean i can just leave
them like they worked with b8.

Dangerous thing to do. Miles does sneak some things in. Although I can't
think of any changes in that area....

I always apply my standard setting to the new config files whilst they
are in beta.

RE: TS-2.1b10 Xorg vesa driver issues

Thanks. I'll do that as well then and hopefully that'll do the trick. Upon first examination i couldn't find
any differences in either build.conf or thinstation.conf* , but it's the first day after my (long)
weekend so i might still be sleeping and overlooked something.
