success/ quirks.
Hi guys,
just a little success / quirk report. I got my hands on a 24 bit R4600 Indy when my university ditched them all (they switched to Sun machines), and I now use it as as very luxurious X-terminal to my lowly linux PC. After some tweaking I managed to boot Linux on the machine as well, and installed it on the 2nd HD.
I have some remarks/bugreports:
* the size of /proc/kcore was ludicrous for a 32 MB machine,
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 6 23:24 ioports -r-------- 1 root root 167354368 May 6 23:24 kcore -r-------- 1 root root 0 May 6 23:22 kmsg
* I couldn't get g++ working. The linker gave up after saying:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to __unwind_function' /usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to __find_first_exception_table_match' /usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to `__register_exceptions'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This was with Hard hat (snatched from a RH mirror), and vmlinux-indy-2.2.1-990329 kernel. I can send you a bootlog as well.
Finally, what is the status of Linux/Indy Xserver? (I know I should contribute instead of asking, but hey, I'm spending lots of time on free s/w already.)
In any case, keep up the good work. Blue computers are so cool!

It's on its way actually. At least a simple (slow) implementation. The code is there, I just need to do some debugging to make it usable.
I can unfortunately not release any source code, because the XFree86 betas aren't public, but I'll try to produce a binary soon.
Is there time frame for the XFree release?
