With an upgrade of my system to 4.1.1.UI and X11R5, this feature seems to be lost. I have tried the multiscreen patches, to no avail. Has anyone got a 3/60C dual screens working under X11r5. I'd like to know. /Geo George Travan ------------------------------ Date: 23 Oct 1993 20:32:56 UTC From: mrapple@quack.kfu.com (Nick Sayer) Subject: Can I modify an SLC to turn it into a GREEN MACHINE ?

On a similar line, does anyone have any idea what the pinouts are for the SLC/ELC CPU board connector? Would it not be possible to transform a power supply, cardboard box, a bunch of connectors and some wire into a monitor-less ELC/SLC? -- Nick Sayer ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Oct 93 16:09:46 EDT From: Gary Sabot Subject: printer flow control To: suns-at-home@ecn.purdue.edu I'm trying to get my RealTech Laser (Postscript 2, equivalent to a DataProducts 962 printer) to work with my Sparc2. In the archives of this mailing list I found this suggested printcap entry for an Apple Laserwriter: lp|laser printer:\ :lp=/dev/ttya:\:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:br#19200:sh:\ :fc#0314:fs#06021:xc#0176007:xs#040040: :rw:lo=lock:\ :af=/usr/adm/lp/acct:\ :ms=crtscts:\ :df=/usr/lib/psdvi: With that entry and a null-modem cable, I can print short documents, but when I print anything more complicated, my printer status display says "waiting", looking for more. If I copy the same postscript file to my Mac and download it to the same printer, it prints fine. So I think I have a flow control problem and the Sun isn't slowing down when it should. I have the printer configured for what its manual calls "DTR flow control". I thought the Sun did that by default. The printer can also be configured for "XON/XOFF flow control, but I have not done that because I don't know how to make the Sun use XON/XOFF. How can I fix my printer problems? --gary P.S. I don't understand the :fc line of the printcap entry, but without it nothing works at all. I can't seem to reach the email address of the printcap's original author, intran!tommyb!tom@uunet.uu.net. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Oct 93 13:01:06 MST From: vlsiphx!karoshi!lahti_g@enuucp.eas.asu.edu (Gregg Lahti) Subject: tip and Control-C To: suns-at-home@harbor.ecn.purdue.edu Anyone figured out how to configure the remote file or make tip ignore control-C's from aborting the call? Generally, I get this problem when tip'ped to my modem and calling work. I would like to hit a control-C to interrupt the process I'm doing on the work machine, rather than kill the tip process on the home machine. The control-C hitting seems to be an involuntary reaction that would be easier to mask than re-train. :^) Also, anyone have any luck connecting a Viva 14.4K V.32bis modem to a Sun? I found I couldn't get the S registers to get tip to understand a modem connection and always got the "call failed" error. If anyone is really interested, I've got the S register dump to sucessfully get a USR Courier V.32bis working. -Gregg ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
