I just installed Debian woody on a Sun Ultra 30 the other day. It's going to be a backup server. Currently, I'm in the process of debugging some SCSI issues before it returns to service as an Amanda server, and apparently Veritas's NetBackup is going to be plopped on there at some point. Anyway, this box happens to have a Creator3D card in it, and I was curious as to what must be done to get that working right. I was having trouble getting the Sun mouse (such fragile pieces of junk) to work at all with the Xsun server. I ended up installing XFree86 and plugging in a Microsoft serial mouse, but when I tested by running a bare X server, the mouse was even more jerky than the standard Sun mouse. Just curious if others have played with this odd combination of stuff.. There's a mini-din connector on the back of the display adapter, but I hear that it might be for tying cards together when doing stereo viewing or something strange like that.. I also have a question about software RAID devices in Linux. This system had an external drive enclosure with three 9 GB drives in it that I made into a RAID 0 array for Amanda's holding disk. I'm curious how mounting the disk automatically at boot would work, considering that raid0 is currently a module (I tried compiling it in, but that made the kernel too big -- and I don't think there's a `bzImage'-like option for UltraSPARC) and that I've had to do `/etc/init.d/raid2 start' before mounting the array. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Find your aim in life, / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ before you run out of \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) ammunition [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
