HI list:
We have sucesfully installed the second monitor. We used the
procedure sugested by Damon with small changes:
The reason is that the V6.4 installation script do more things than the
previous one, so we used the script from the CD.
The procedure (Last version +1 ;) ):
1- mount the V6.4 Day 0 cdrom
mount -o ro /dev/sd6a /cdrom
2- Copy driver files
mkdir /opt/gxp32
cp /cdrom/targ_plfm/PGX32.Z /opt/pgx32
3- Decompress the file
cd /opt/pgx32
uncompress PGX32.Z
cd /
tar xvf /opt/pgx31/PGX32
4- Modify the original instalation script to run on hard disk
cd /tmp
vi instpgx
Replace /mnt_root to / as follows:
:
chmod 644 /kernel/drv/raptor
chmod 644 /kernel/drv/gfxp
cp /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig /etc/openwin/server/etc
cat /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.gfx >> /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig
chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/modules/ddxTSIgfx.so.1
chmod 755 /etc/dt/config/Xservers.gfx
chmod 444 /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.gfx
chmod 755 /opt/share/man/man1/GFXconfig.1m
chmod 755 /usr/openwin/bin/gfxres
chmod 644 /usr/openwin/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/etc/RES.DAT
chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/etc/TSIScreenConfig
chmod 755 /usr/openwin/server/etc/TSIScreenConfig.example
chmod 644 /usr/openwin/server/etc/gfxres.help
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/GFXconfig
chmod 644 /etc/driver_aliases
chmod 644 /etc/minor_perm
chmod 644 /etc/name_to_major
add_drv -b / -m'* 0666 root sys' -i'"TECH-SOURCE,gfxp" "TSI,gfxp"'
/kernel/drv/gfxp
add_drv -b / -m'* 0666 root sys' -i'"TECH-SOURCE,raptor" "TSI,raptor"'
/kernel/drv/raptor
5- Run the script
instpgx
7- Reboot station
reboot -r
Thanks to Damon for your help, and to all of you.
