How to setup international keyboard in X Window System with Xmodmap by Juraj Sipos, xvudpapc@savba.sk v1.3, 05 February 2001 How to setup international keyboard in Linux or Unix with Xmodmap. The Xmodmap is a file that XFree86 reads in order to give you a keyboard layout. This solution will work for you in setting up any international keyboard for (Debian, RedHat, Mandrake, CorelLinux) Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and possibly every Unix that uses XFree86 and KDE. This howto is a little experimental in that that it bypasses some standardized XFree86 solutions (with respect to its older versions), although a standard form of internationalization is included too.

Copyright (C) 1999, 2001 Juraj Sipos (xvudpapc@savba.sk). Imagine you use a Linux or BSD OS and want to write a business letter to a person that has a foreign name with a slash or idiaresis. Danish language uses signs like ø and Spanish like ñ. This is the Xmodmap Howto. With this information you can make your own international keyboard layout without installing any additional packages. The following information will help you set up German, Spanish, Italian, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Slovenian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, Finnish, Norwegian, Estonian, Latvian, Swedish and other keyboards. You can also alternatively look at my homepage at http://freebsd.nfo.sk to see layouts of various keyboards. In case you want to install Greek, Hebrew or Russian language, follow my information and apply changes pertinent to these languages also with respect to other documentation (e.g., install Greek fonts, etc., see the Cyrillic, Hebrew, or Danish howto). This howto does not cover the /etc/X11/XF86Config file XKB configuration and don't mail me with questions regarding this matter. There are other howtos in Linux Documentation project, so please look there. Setting up international keyboard in X Window System with Xmodmap Quick start Make your own .Xmodmap file according to information in this file. Alternatively, write the following in your .bash_profile in home directory: export LANG=language export LC_ALL=language and/or LANG=language (which can be LANG="sk_SK", for example) in your /etc/sysconfig/i18n file Here "language" is the language you want to use. The languages can be found in the file locale.alias in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale. Run "exit" command on the console or reboot and log in again. Install fonts (best are ISO8859-2 Type1 fonts for Czech or Slovak), put them in path to your XF86Config. Start X Server. Please note that KDE 2.0 editors don't display ISO8859-2 fonts even if you have them in path. The modification of /etc/sysconfig/i18n file is necessary here to use the international keyboard. Run the command "xmodmap /.Xmodmap" from an X terminal window to force the system to read the Xmodmap file. Switch the keyboard and enjoy. The other, XKB solution, which is not covered in this file but mentioned at least as it pertains to internationalization too, is another way of configuring international keyboard, and both the XKB and XMODMAP solutions are independent of one another. You may alternatively edit the /etc/X11/Xf86Config file as explained in a Danish Howto, or issue this command in an X terminal window for the Slovak keyboard: setxkbmap -model pc102 -symbols 'czsk(us_sk_qwertz)' setxkbmap cs -option grp:shift_toggle qwerty or qwertz means that letters z Z and y Y are swapped. The "grp:shift_toggle" gives you an option to switch between keyboards. You may also try to write Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle" to your XF86Config file, which will change keyboards by pressing Ctrl and Shift at the same time. To see a variety of languages (symbols), look in the file symbols.dir in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb directory. Note that some symbols are only in sources and not in binaries (of XFree86). As you see, this looks quite complicated too and it gets even more difficult when you realize that many national keymaps are not included in the standard XFree86 binary distribution, although they are included in its sources. The kikbd utility for handling international keyboard layouts was removed from KDE 2.0 and documentation is quite insufficient. A simple way would be to start KDE, change the international keyboard settings and immediately write in the language you chose (this will work for German and other languages maybe, but in Eastern European keyboards some letters may not function). Moreover, the KDE 2.0 command "kcmshell Personalization/kcmlayout" will not show you a Croatian or Macedonian keyboard unless you modify the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file. And although it shows a Czechoslovakian keyboard, Czechoslovakia does not exist as a country anymore and users may be confused with how to define Czech or Slovak language. Some X Window System managers override .Xmodmap setting. If .Xmodmap doesn't work immediately, a good way is to force the system to read it from your root (home) directory. You will do this by issuing the following command from an X terminal window: xmodmap /.Xmodmap After I installed the Slovak keyboard in FreeBSD 4.1 in KDE with Xmodmap file that used the standard definitions for ISO8859-2 keycode entities (lcaron, scaron, etc.), I couldn't write in Slovak or Czech, so I made few changes to the Xmodmap file explained later in this file. After applying these changes, no other changes were necessary. How to do it This experimental or nonstandard solution is not necessary for newer versions of XFree86 Put the following in your .bash_profile: export LC_ALL=language export LANG=language OR export LC_CTYPE=sk_SK export LC_ALL=sk_SK OR for csh shell setenv LC_ALL=language setenv LANG=language and have the standard Xmodmap file in your home directory. If you ask me where you may obtain such "standard" Xmodmap files, go to GNOME ../share directory. The file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias contains the aliases for languages, so look there in order to find out what is ca_ES or br_FR, or to find out the exact syntax for your language (you cannot write "croatia" but you must write "croatian", not "Croatian"; this is very important, as Unix is case sensitive). Now you must install the pertinent fonts and put path in XF86Config file for these fonts. If you want to internationalize your keyboard, use the standard Xmodmap definitions first and use right alt to switch between keyboards (if you use GNOME Xmodmap files). If it does not work, do the following: a) Copy the "Compose" file from: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-2 to: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1 directory (yes, iso8859-1, not iso8859-2). Back up the original "Compose" file if you want (alternatively, copy other iso885*** Compose files to the iso8859-1 directory). b) Put the included .Xmodmap file to your root directory (Slovak language, or make your own .Xmodmap file, or choose from the ones listed here). c) Install ISO8859-2 fonts (or other pertinent fonts). You may try to issue the command from X: xset q to see which fonts are in your path. If you want to add fonts in your path from X, issue the command: xset fp+ /usr/fonts_path xset fp rehash d) Disable every "Scroll Lock" uncommented line in your XF86Config, because our .Xmodmap for the Slovak language uses the Scroll Lock to switch between keyboards (you can modify this .Xmodmap for any keyboard). e) Put the appropriate fontpath for your newly installed fonts in the XF86Config file, if necessary (some systems may not require this, the FontPath "unix/:7100" may be sufficient). The .Xmodmap solution may be applied to all X keyboards; .Xmodmap file overrides all settings of keyboard layouts as defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/, where are symbols for many international keyboards. First, I must say that in my solution (in older XFree86 versions), different mapping is used for .Xmodmap keycodes for some ISO8859-2 keycode entities. ISO8859-2 definitions (keycode entities) like lcaron, zcaron actually do not work (without modification of /etc/sysconfig/i18n file). This means that the ISO8859-1 definitions must be used instead and they will either give you what they say they are (aacute [á], eacute [é], etc.), or they will not give you what they say they are (using ISO8859-2 fonts, putting "threequarters" in your .Xmodmap file will not give you "3/4" but "z" with a caron, a reveres ˆ above it). For example, "mu" will give lcaron (L'), "oslash" rcaron, etc. However, other key definitions, for example, adieresis (a with two dots above it), uacute (u with a slash above it), as well as dead_diaeresis do not require a substitution of other definitions and work pretty well, as they're defined everywhere (a dead key is a key you press, hold it, yet nothing happens, but after pressing another key you will get a special letter). The original "Compose" file in ../iso8859-1 directory can be fully utilized for English, Slovak or Czech keyboard layouts (Polish, Hungarian, Slovenian, Croatian) in some older XFree86 distributions, but there is only one problem - dead keys do not work. That's why you have to copy the "Compose" file from the iso8859-2 directory to iso8859-1 directory, or alternatively, you can edit the "Compose" file in iso8859-1 directory. You can leave the Keyboard section in your XF86Config file without much change. Put (if it's not already there) the following in the "Keyboard" section: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc101" XkbLayout "us" Some X managers and/or environments override .Xmodmap settings, so if you use KDE and .Xmodmap doesn't work, force the system to read it by issuing the command "xmodmap /.Xmodmap". Alternatively, you can have 60 .Xmodmap files like .Xmo1, .Xmo2, .Xmo3, .Xmo4, etc., and you may force the system to read them (xmodmap /.Xmo1). The dot means it is a hidden file and it is not necessary. You may also have xmo1, xmo2, or xmo3 Xmodmap files. You may write in a national keyboard only with applications that have access to your ISO8859-2 fonts (or other fonts), but this may not work with StarOffice or with other applications that have their own built-in fonts. StarOffice has its own fonts directory - for afm fonts in StarOffice/share/xp3/fontmetrics/afm, and for ps fonts in StarOffice/share/xp3/pssoftfonts, so you must add the ISO8859-2 fonts to these directories (to tell StarOffice to use these fonts too) and edit fonts.dir file and add the symlinked fonts there. Here is a script that will do it for you. Cut it, name it "so52", make it executable (chmod +x so52), copy it to the StarOffice/share/xp3 directory and execute it there. -------------------------------cut_here----------------------------------- #!/bin/sh STAR_OFFICE_ROOT=/StarOffice52 FONTS_DIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1 # The above fonts directory is for SuSE 7.0 and previous # If you have Soffice instead of StarOffice52, change the second line to Soffice # FONTS_DIR=/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1 # The above fonts directory is for RedHat and Mandrake # uncomment it if you use those systems # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Don't edit the following script! # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- XP3_DIR=$STAR_OFFICE_ROOT/share/xp3 if [ -e $XP3_DIR/psstd.fonts.il2 ]; then echo "Changes were already made." echo "If you want to do it, delete the file" echo " $XP3_DIR/psstd.fonts.il2" exit 1 fi if [ -e $FONTS_DIR/afm ]; then AFM_DIR=$FONTS_DIR/afm else AFM_DIR=$FONTS_DIR fi ------------------------------------cut_here----------------------------- StarOffice 5.2 fully recognizes Word97 documents even written in other languages, but for the older versions or other editors, you may use a converter from iso8859-2 to win1250 encoding. StarOffice 5.2 can be thus used by professional translators who may translate in any languages and give outputs in MS Word97 or rtf format. Xmodmap theory and standard Xmodmap solution If you want to edit and make your own .Xmodmap keyboard layout definitions, I'll explain one line of the .Xmodmap file to make clear what you should do. This explanation can be used for all keycodes. For example, the line: keycode 0x11 = 8 asterisk aacute 8 (note: keycode 0x11 is derived from the "xkeycaps" utility; you can also use the X "xev" utility to explore keyboard puzzles.) says that the first pair, the default one, (number "8" and "asterisk") will display number "8" when you press keycode 0x11 ("8"), will display asterisk when a "shift" key is pressed. After pressing the scroll lock, there's another definition: ISO_NEXT_GROUP, which means that when you press the default "8" key, no "8" will be displayed, but aacute ("á"); when you press the "shift" key, number "8" will be displayed. So if you change "aacute" and "8", anything you put instead of "aacute" and "8" will be displayed, for example: keycode 0x11 = 8 asterisk semicolon colon will give you "semicolon" and "colon" in your 0x11 keycode after pressing the Scroll Lock. The ISO_NEXT_GROUP is defined by another line. If this line is not defined, you will be able to use only two definitions ("8" and "asterisk") - look at my .Xmodmap file. If you delete the ISO_NEXT_GROUP (the next pair of definitions on the right), you will have only one group of keyboard definitions ("8" and "asterisk"). Be careful when editing the .Xmodmap file. You mustn't delete definitions that enable utilization of the Scroll Lock unless you know what you are doing (or you map the second keyboard by right Alt). These are the lines such as: keycode 0x4e = ISO_Next_Group add mod5 = ISO_Next_Group, etc. You must also keep in mind that Unixes are case sensitive. If you want to find out more about keycodes, install the package "xkeycaps" or use "xev".

If GNOME is not installed in the /opt directory, look in /usr/share. To switch between the keyboards, use right Alt. It is defined in these Xmodmap files already. Character sets The purpose of the following info is to help you build any .Xmodmap keyboard layout with ISO8859-2 or other fonts. The ISO8859-2 Character Set definitions are included here for you to know which names are used for which keys. You should not bother about the numbers, but notice how keys are named. Much of this information is useful to build a keyboard with ISO8859-1 characters only, or a combination of Eastern European characters and Western characters. If you're going to use other languages than the Central European or Western European ones, find a pertinent table for your ISO*** character set on Internet. The gdkkeysyms.h file, that contains all the crazy names for keycode entities including hexcodes, is in (RedHat) /usr/include/gdk/ directory. If no gdkkeysyms.h file is on your system, see the file /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h, or try to look in /lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/GTK/keysyms.pm (it also contains names of keycode entities including hex codes). If you have a newer version of PERL, the "5.6.0" may differ. The similar should apply to other systems (FreeBSD), as all these use PERL.

If they will not give you what they say they are (some keycodes will be unfunctional), then put to your bash_profile the "export LANG=language" and "export LC_ALL=language" statements and if you are still unsuccessful, you must make a substitution. Definitions which will not give you what they say they are can be traced by their visual shape in Western Latin 1 encoding. If you are a Czech, for example, you may issue a command: setxkbmap -model pc102 -symbols 'czsk(us_cz_qwertz)' setxkbmap cs -option grp:shift_toggle and see what will give you an X terminal window (press both Shift keys or press alt and hold it to see the other keyboard layout). This means that by pressing a letter "3" you will get a real "onesuperior" key. It is good that X terminal window does not make use of ISO8859-2 fonts now, so you will see what you must use instead of scaron (scaron = onesuperior). By putting "onesuperior" in an .Xmodmap file you will get a REAL "scaron", but obviously, only with use of ISO8859-2 fonts (with use of ISO8859-1 fonts, you will get a REAL "onesuperior"). Thus, the X terminal window will show you fonts like micron, onesuperior, threequarters, and so on. You will see what you must substitute. But if you don't know what "?" is called in ISO terminology, find and download an appropriate character set table for ISO8859-1, or look in gdkkeysyms.h file, /lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/GTK/keysyms.pm file, or ../ISO8859-1/Compose file. Alternatively, you may experiment with all codes defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ISO8859-1/Compose file. You must use the ISO8859-1 entities when the system refuses to display the ISO8859-2 entities correctly. The following symbols on your right is what I found out through my research. This is just an example. When you use a "Pound" definition in the Xmodmap file, the X will display you a Lslash instead (in relation to using iso8859-2 fonts, of course). When you choose some easy KDE text editor, select iso8859-2 fonts charset from the fonts menu. NOTE: vowel *acute (uacute, eacute, etc.) signs require no substitution, therefore I omitted iacute, aacute, etc., here. ISO8859-1 entity will give you the: ISO8859-2 entity in our nonstandard or experimental Xmodmap keycode definition egrave ccaron ugrave uring agrave racute ecircumflex "c" with something at the bottom of it ucircumflex Lslash "Pound" in Xmodmap gives you Lslash.

How this Xmodmap solution works on various systems SuSE SuSE 6.4 Everything works well with Xmodmap standard definitions. GNOME, KDE 1.x and other X Window managers, too, nicely display ISO8859-2 characters. No modification of other system files is required. The problematic here is KDE 2.0, if you install it for this system. SuSE 7.0 with XFree86 version 3.3.6 and KDE 2.0 No LANG=language and LC_ALL=language statements are necessary in your bash_profile. You may use the Xmodmap file with standard ISO8859-2 keycode definitions (not "threequarters" but "scaron", etc.). Unfortunately, although you may immediately start writing with ISO8859-2 keycodes, the dead keys are not working properly and export LANG=language does not work here in order to make these dead keys work. Internal KDE 2.0 editors do not properly display ISO8859-2 fonts unless the i18n file, or its equivalent, is modified. You may also try to modify the KDE 2.0 settings in Preferences > Personalization > Country & Language, where you change the charset to ISO8859-2 characters. Old kedit, newest GNOME's gedit and StarOffice work well without modification of system files. Other X Window managers like GNOME work well, too. After copying the Compose file from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-2/ to the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/, you may start elegantly working with dead keys. This was also tested on StarOffice 5.2. The FontPath must be in /etc/XF86Config, not in /etc/X11/Xf86Config. The following is the FontPath section for ISO8859-2 fonts from my SuSE 7.0 /etc/XF86Config file (these ISO8859-2 fonts are on your Linux CD): FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1/afm" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ISO8859-2/Type1/pfm" Mandrake Linux Mandrake Linux 7.2 with KDE 2.0 GNOME and other X Window managers work well even without modification of /etc/sysconfig/i18n file. KDE 2.0 is a little bit harder, as this file needs to be modified. I used the "kcmshell Personalization/kcmlayout" command, (or go to menu Configuration > KDE > Personalization > keyboard layout) to select the keyboard, and after putting the LANG=language in the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file (and rebooting afterwards), KDE 2.0 works nicely and StarOffice works immediately (with ISO8859-2 fonts in its directory) with dead keys. I chose Czechoslovakian as the second language and could write in Czech with ISO8859-2 characters on my screen even without the Xmodmap file. However, after using the Xmodmap file (standard definitions), I could use the Slovak keyboard layout. The following is my Mandrake /etc/sysconfig/i18n file (I commented the previous definitions for English): #LC_MONETARY=en_US #LC_CTYPE=sk_SK #LC_NUMERIC=en_US #LC_MESSAGES=en_US LANGUAGE=sk_SK #LC_TIME=en_US #RPM_INSTALL_LANG=en #LC_COLLATE=en_US The maps in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols can be modified on the fly while in X; you only switch keyboards from the panel (clicking on icon). You can edit those maps and modify them for your choice. After changing some Czech definitions in the "cs" file to Slovak ones StarOffice displayed them well. RedHat RedHat 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 (XFree86 3.3.6 and older) No LANG=language and LC_ALL=language statements are necessary in your bash_profile. Here the "experimental" .Xmodmap solution works well ("mu" instead of "lcaron", etc., unless you modify the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file; then you may try to use the "standard" entities) and you must copy the Compose file from ../IS08859-2 to ../ISO8859-1 directory to make dead keys work. The XF86Config file may remain untouched. RedHat 7.0 with KDE 2.0 and XFree86 4.x GNOME and other X Window managers work well. You do not have to copy the Compose file from ../ISO8859-2 to ../ISO8859-1 directory. KDE 1.x works well, too, but KDE 2.0 requires modification of /etc/sysconfig/i18n file. The following is syntax of my i18n file from RedHat 7.0: LANG="sk_SK" I changed nothing in the Menu in Preferences > Personalization except that I added the additional keyboard (Czechoslovakian) layout. Please note that some other systems may require a different attitude. The following is the syntax from my KDE kxkbrc file in /root/.kde/share/config directory: [Layout] Additional=cs AdditionalEncodings=ISO8859-2 Encoding=ISO8859-1 Layout=us Model=pc104 Test=Test Use=true However, this file is generated automatically after you add a keyboard layout. FreeBSD FreeBSD 3.1 and 3.2 Same as with RedHat 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2. FreeBSD 4.1 No LANG=language and LC_ALL=language statements are necessary in your bash_profile. However, you can use two strategies: a) either you modify the /etc/profile file and put there a statement like: LANG=sk_SK.ISO8859-2; export LANG After you reboot, you will have a Slovak keyboard in KDE immediately and you can use the right Alt key to use ISO8859-1 keycodes. But dead keys will not work and you have to copy the ../ISO8859-2/Compose file to ../ISO8859-1 directory to make them work. Irritating may be using the right Alt to switch to keycodes like "@", if you use an email client often, for example. b) Same strategy as for FreeBSD 3.1, 3.2 with nonstandard xmodmap definitions and copying the ../ISO8859-2/Compose file to ../ISO8859-1 directory. Corel Linux Corel Linux 1.0 and 1.2 Same as with FreeBSD. Some national Xmodmap files Please note: I am not the author of these files and don't mail me if you find something incorrect in them. These files were taken from the GNOME distribution and the main focus of this howto is to tell you how to map various keycode entities, so that you can make your own keyboard layouts. Use right Alt to switch the keyboard.

AFAIK, ${DOCROOT}/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/handbook.html is symlinked to index.html in the same directory. So it is possible to do: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ on the web too. Porters-handbook also uses index.html. This better IMHO because again, you can do: http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/ BTW I do not seem to have book.html in my porters-handbook directory... maybe you built the single html file version?

There are two error messages which people commonly get from ports: Your port uses an old layout: - there are out of date files in the port directory - If you are updating using cvs, use the '-D' flag to tell it to remove old empty directories - If you are updating with cvsup, see the cvsup FAQ on www.polstra.com Q11, 12, 13. Your system is too old to use this port: - You need to upgrade the system by doing a make world, or install an upgrade kit. Can we please try and have some consistency in advice-giving, here? :) Someone needs to add this information to the FAQ.

I just encountered another situation in which this message appears: - the partition which houses your ports tree doesn't have enough space The solution for me was to move /usr/ports over to another partition with lots of space and then create a symbolic link to the new location (since many, if not all, makefiles refer to /usr/ports).

Yes it does. The device name takes the form /dev/[n][e]sa[0-9] If it's just /dev/sa then the device will try and rewind the tape when the device is closed. If there's a leading 'n' then the device will not be rewound. If there's a leading 'e' then the device will be ejected on close. So if your application opens /dev/nesa0, and then closes the device, the tape will not be rewound, and the driver will tell the drive to eject the tape. This is all in the FILES section.

I'm not sure if it's STILL true, but when I write it originally, the submodes were so that you could have a single device programmed up to use different block sizes and densities, and teh nyou could read/write tapes in those densities by just using the different subdevices. (e.g. .1 might write in 3K blocks and .2 might right in variable block mode) useful if you are distributing media to people with machines with different capabilities. > > -r > -- > -- > http://www.cfcl.com/rdm > email: rdm@cfcl.com > phone: +1 650-873-7841 -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ julian@elischer.org ( OZ ) World tour 2000-2001 ---> X_.---._/ v To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Fri Feb 9 11:50:23 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CEB4E37B401 for ; Fri, 9 Feb 2001 11:50:01 -0800 (PST) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f19Jo1K06123; Fri, 9 Feb 2001 11:50:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gnats) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2001 11:50:01 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <200102091950.f19Jo1K06123@freefall.freebsd.org> To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Cc: From: Julian Elischer Subject: Re: docs/24786: missing FILES descriptions in sa(4) Reply-To: Julian Elischer Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The following reply was made to PR docs/24786; it has been noted by GNATS.

I can't think of anything else to check. Well, after checking my TeX book of choice, it still says that the error TeX hit is due to some buffer overrun which is either caused by a programming error (ie infinite loop) or a real exhaustion. Now, I have no idea which is @play here. But I will try to follow your example and report back any results to this list. But I have to finish my buildworld first because this machine cannot do both at once. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Fri Feb 9 13:20:22 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 77F2337B69C for ; Fri, 9 Feb 2001 13:20:04 -0800 (PST) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.11.1/8.11.1) id f19LK4w20665; Fri, 9 Feb 2001 13:20:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from gnats) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2001 13:20:04 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <200102092120.f19LK4w20665@freefall.freebsd.org> To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Cc: From: Rich Morin Subject: Re: docs/24786: missing FILES descriptions in sa(4) Reply-To: Rich Morin Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The following reply was made to PR docs/24786; it has been noted by GNATS.

Well, that certainly isn't what the sa(4) man page says: SUB-MODES Bits 0 and 1 of the minor number are interpreted as `sub-modes'. The sub- modes differ in the action taken when the device is closed: 00 A close will rewind the device; if the tape has been written, then a file mark will be written before the rewind is requested. The device is unmounted. 01 A close will leave the tape mounted. If the tape was written to, a file mark will be written. No other head positioning takes place. Any further reads or writes will occur directly after the last read, or the written file mark. 10 A close will rewind the device. If the tape has been written, then a file mark will be written before the rewind is requested. On completion of the rewind an unload command will be issued. The de- vice is unmounted. FWIW, /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_sa.c contains the code typedef enum { SA_MODE_REWIND = 0x00, SA_MODE_NOREWIND = 0x01, SA_MODE_OFFLINE = 0x02 } sa_mode; ... #define SAMODE(z) ((minor(z) & 0x3)) ... #define SA_NUM_MODES 4 struct sa_devs { dev_t ctl_dev; struct sa_mode_devs { dev_t r_dev; dev_t nr_dev; dev_t er_dev; } mode_devs[SA_NUM_MODES]; dev_t r_dev; dev_t nr_dev; dev_t er_dev; }; So, it _appears_ to me that the modes have been taken over to do the same things as the [en] flags. If this is the case, this seems a bit redundant. In any event, the true situation needs to be clarified. -r -- -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm email: rdm@cfcl.com phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Fri Feb 9 15: 5:34 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from be-well.ilk.org (lowellg.ne.mediaone.net [24.147.184.128]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 797CA37B491 for ; Fri, 9 Feb 2001 15:05:17 -0800 (PST) Received: (from lowell@localhost) by be-well.ilk.org (8.11.2/8.11.2) id f19N5Fr97564; Fri, 9 Feb 2001 18:05:15 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from lowell) From: Lowell Gilbert To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: jadetex problems on handbook References: <44ofwbln5p.fsf@lowellg.ne.mediaone.net> <44d7crlk9g.fsf@lowellg.ne.mediaone.net> Date: 09 Feb 2001 18:05:15 -0500 In-Reply-To: lgfbsd@lowellg.ne.mediaone.net's message of "9 Feb 2001 20:39:04 +0100" Message-ID: <44ae7v5ufo.fsf@lowellg.ne.mediaone.net> Lines: 15 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.7/Emacs 20.7 Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org lgfbsd@lowellg.ne.mediaone.net writes: > that TeX is running out of strings at 51,918.

If I set max_string *above* there, though, I get the same numbers. I'm digging into teTeX, but I can't find a limit that's producing this. I'll dig some more, but I'm still hoping a TeX expert (I've been using it for 15 years, but I don't know much about configuring it) will say something more useful. Be well.

No, both of them do (in as much as the .tex-pdf file they kick out is identical). Looks like a problem with the code. There is a newer version of JadeTeX out (3.3 I think), but I've had no time to test it. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month.

I assume that it will work on all variants of the x86 flavor cpu chip. If there are compatability issues w/some of those currently avail (such as Intel Celeron, AMD Duron, Cyrix, etc.) it would be nice to have in the FAQ. If nothing else some mention that "there are currently as of such-&-such date no such issues" would provide psychological re-assurance for the paranoid newby (holds up hand - "Yo!"). Some brief mention of other cpu supportage such as Motorola 68K found in Amiga & other older boxes like Sun, Oleveti, ATT B2, etc.; or DEC Alpha based boxes; or Motorola PPC based boxes would possibly also be helpful. _rich_ aliases rich holtzschue alephnull@switchboardmail.com alephnull@prodigy.net primary addy -> sesshin@swbell.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
