Sounds like you got it working.  Good.  Actually, PCMCIA is already working
starting in 2.1rc1.  Just the order modules are loaded still needs to be
modified.  Just add the line:

module ds

after your module yenta_socket in the build.conf of 2.1rc2 and it should be
working.

so, the order in your build needs to be:

pcmcia
yenta_socket (or other chipset)
ds
3c59x (or other pcmcia capable driver)

Miles is making the adjustments so you probably shouldn't need to add ds

Thanks for sharing.

RE: RC2: SESSION_0_TYPE=telnet broken

Somehow SESSION_0_TELNET_SERVER isn't passed on to telnet. Running manually
from the console works just fine.

SESSION_0_TYPE=ssh is fine.

RE: Bug(Thinstation-2.0.2) + PATCH


ok, done for 2.1rc2 and 2.2b2

Subject: [Thinstation-developer] Bug(Thinstation-2.0.2) + PATCH

A nasty race occurs when running Thinstation on more then one display. 
The /tmp/script sed file used in parse_xconfig () in /etc/init.d/x is used
by every display and the configuration files are generated simultaneously.
Changed to /tmp/script-$DISPLAY_NUMBER, patch included. 
This fix is tryvial, should be included in the stable tree to save people
trouble, I guess.

Great Work! :)

I used the update kernel script that should have updated the kernel

Aah, that's what I havn't figured out. It explains a whole lot.

I just realized that Xnest doesn't work as a pkg. The problem is that
$XNEST_NUMBER isn't set. If you do so manually (export XNEST_NUMBER=1),
everything is fine.

Subject: [Thinstation-developer] RC2: hosts file bug prevents samba start
(incl. fix)

I just realized that the old bug with samba failing to start without DNS
resolvance of the client has reappeared.

Samba tries to lookup the host name and fails to start when the lookup
fails.

I have fixed it by editing line 368 in base/etc/init.d/network
FROM:
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" > hosts
TO:
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $NET_HOSTNAME" > hosts

I have no idea if it breaks things for people with DNS resolvance. To me it
seems safe to associate 127.0.0.1 to a name.

RC1 has the same problem. Ver. 2.0.2 doesn't. Somewhere inbetween the
problem came back.

Subject: Re: [Thinstation-developer] Keyboard maps, etc

It looks like the xmod file settings are only applied under the console case
(in thinstation.packages). . .not exactly sure what all the different cases
are for. . .but I copied the 3 lines that load the file from the console
case to the menu case (we load from replimenu) and now my right alt works
just fine.  I would think that the xmod settings should be loaded for all
cases (or above the case statement), but I am not sure the best place or why
it is where it is.  I have attached a patch file that contains my mods to
thinstation.packages so far (with the original X_NUMLOCK addition).

It also gave me an idea to try using autostart and see if the mods were
there since it is a different case. . .but after turning Autostart=On in my
conf file, it seems X just hangs when it tries to start session_0 (of 7). .
.I haven't used autostart in months, so I don't know what could have changed
since it last worked.  It is possible it was before the switch to xorg.

I was trying to comment out a couple entries in our thinstation.hosts file.
. .but the hostnames are still found and used if a matching mac_address is
found.  I am not sure if this is by design or just overlooked.  I would just
expect to be able to comment out a hostname entry and then for it to not be
used. . .
