Subject: Making X11-beta.1 on a sun3
I have managed to modify the X11-beta.1 Makefiles to get make to
complete on a sun 3/50. Here is a summary of what's needed to
make X11-beta.1 on a sun3 set up for system V compatibility:
1. Make sure that :/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin are ahead of /usr/5bin in
your $PATH - the Makefiles depend on the ucb stuff.
2. In the top-level makefile, change server to =Xsun
3. Run link-setup.
4. Make sure thet there is enough space in all the directories used
by the Makefiles. For example, if there is not enough space
in the / filesystem, which includes /tmp, make /tmp a
symbolic link to a tmp subdirectory in a roomier one.
5. In the server/os/4.2bsd/Makefile, and also in the Xlib, toolkit,
and clients/xterm Makefiles, remove dependencies on
/usr/include/machine/machparam.h
since it does not exist on a typical sun3.
The information is in
/usr/include/sys/param.h
6. As distributed, the ./server/ddx/mfb/Makefile uses $* outside the
documented context of substitution macros. Some versions of
make may accept this, but the /bin/make on out SUN 3/50
silently ignores it. The result is
ar: mfbpgbwht.o cannot open
ar: mfbpgbblak.o cannot open
ar: mfbpgbinv.o cannot open
ar: mfbigbwht.o cannot open
ar: mfbigbblak.o cannot open
ar: mfbpawhite.o cannot open
ar: mfbpablack.o cannot open
ar: mfbpainv.o cannot open
I edited the Makefile manually to correct this.
7. Since /usr/include/mit-copyright.h is not supplied, remove the
dependency of XGetDflt.o on this file from Xlib/Makefile,
and then
mkdir include/X
cd include
ln copyright.h .
Similarly with references to /usr/include/X/mit-copyright.h
in clients/xpr/Makefile, clients/xwud/Makeffile,
and clients/xwd/Makefile. Remove dependency and
ln -s include/X X
in the base X11-beta.1 directory.
Have fun,
Adam Reed (hou2d!avr)

:> We have been having some problems with our Sun 3/160. We get the
:> the following error messages at the rate of about 2 or 3 per day.
:> These are examples only, the error can occur on any partition
:> and it can be either a read or write reset.
:>
:> xy0g: read reset (lost interrupt) -- blk #266528, abs blk #336448
:> xy0h: write reset (lost interrupt) -- blk #207452, abs blk #718052
:
: I too have errors in a similar configuration: frequent read or write retries
: due to ECC errors. At first it was every couple of days, then one a day,
: then every hour; the rate built up slowly over a period of maybe 6 months.
:
: Sun came, ... replaced ... all was fine. That was 2 weeks ago. And now...
: it's starting all over again! The errors are re-appearing.
We had three iterations of similar problems on a 2322 disk with a Xylogics
450 controller. We were re-labelling the drive to make the "a" partition
the full disk (same as the "c" partition). When we left the default Sun
partitioning, the problems went away. Of course, we then had about 25
megabytes we couldn't use conveniently, either. (It was also a 3/160.)

Subject: QMS LaserPrinter on SUN?
Is there a public domain or other filter, driver , or ? to allow a
QMS Lasergrafix 800 to be used on a SUN?
Preferably a filter that would allow the QMS to remain attached to our
VAX via a parallel port, and just send the filtered file to it through
the VAX.
Thanks, John

Subject: Question about mti board?
We are running a Sun 3/180 with an ALM (?) mti board with SLIP. The
mti board runs at interrupt priority 4 and the network code runs at
a lower priority. This has been known (and does) cause mget panics.
Is it safe to lower the mti boards priority or is there a better way
to handle this situation?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: new sun machines?
I've heard of two new Sun machines:
1. Sun 3/60
(I was told it should have 20MHz clock speed)
2. Sun 4/xxx
(RISC machine, next server generation)
Does anybody know more details about these products?
Is the whole story true or is someone fooling me?
