>I have run into 3 current problems when installing 2.0.5. > >1. After trying to change the path and doing so in a session, when I >shutdown the system and restarted it, the changes to the path were gone and >were not saved. I added /usr/X11R6/bin to the path. Also, I set umask to >022. I made these changes to try to set up X11R6 that came with your >CD-rom.

The path and umask should be set in your .cshrc file in your home directory. >2. After I loaded the system and rebooted it, and then shut it down, halted >it, and rebooted it, or did a shutdown and halt and turned the system off >and then on, unless I had the CD-rom drive on and the disk in it, the >system would not finish booting properly. This would happen if I turned off >the computer entirely, turned off the CD-rom drive, removed it from the SCSI >port, and put a SCSI terminator on the port at the back of the computer, and >then turned the computer back on and booted it up. This is what the screen >said at the end of the booting sequence: > >Automatic reboot in progress >/dev/rsd0a: clean, 7659 free (107 frags, 944 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation) >/dev/rsd0sle: clean, 271946 free (10354 frags, 32699 blocks, >3.1% fragmentation) > >cd9660: /dev/cd0a: Device not configured >Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted >Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: > >If I had the CD-rom drive plugged into the computer, turned on, and had the >disk in it, the booting would complete properly and I would be at a login >in which I would put root and get into a C shell. You need to remove or comment out the /dev/cd0a entry in your /etc/fstab. >3. The X window system comes up but the screen is badly distorted, like >it is made of tweed. I can see the three windows with red bars at the >top, and that there is a clock in the upper right hand corner, but nothing >can be read. It is not fuzzy, it is tweeded-out all over, including in >the windows, as one mess. If I click the mouse in the background, the menu >comes up, and it will show highlighted words as the pointer is pulled down, >but the words cannot be read--they are too distorted. When I cycle through >the resolutions (4 of them), using cntr-alt-numpad+, the size of the screen >and windows change as each should. I have checked the config file and the >settings for the S3 chipset. My system is described below. Can't help you with this one. -DG
