hello again.
now i got a problem to boot thinstation 2.2.2 from hard disk. i copy; initrd syslinux.cfg thinstation.txt vmlinuz on the hard disk. when i boot now vmlinuz and initrd load and the thinstation screen with the flower comes. it loads many things and after that it comes :"package blackbox can't, check your thinstation.conf and build.conf" that means, my thinstation.conf.user can't load, but i copied it with dos on the hard disk. (c:\thinstation.profile\thinstation.conf.user) i tried to copy the file with the linux console (ctrg + alt +F2), but i can't login as root, because i don't know where i get the password. Where can i get it? I read that you can set the rootpassword in the build.conf , but that file can't load too, when i copied on the hard drive. I read also the thing with the STORAGE PATH, but idon't really understand this. Is this necessary or not important? I read many threads of the forum but i don't found a solution. Thanks for your answers! |

(c:\thinstation.profile\thinstation.conf.user) Make sure that long filename support is available (FAT16 does not support long filenames) otherwise it's probably C:\thinst~1\thinst~1 or something similar - I can't check. > > i tried to copy the file with the linux console (ctrg + alt +F2), but i > can't login as root, because i don't know where i get the password.

If you are using 2.2.2, then you HAVE used a build.conf. If you built it via TS-O-Matic, the tabs for Hardware etc. are setting the values in your build.conf. The parameter for root pawssword can be found on the Parameters page (1st one called rootpassword). If you didn't change anything it is pleasechangeme. You could also set the default SESSION_0 stuff in the Buildtime page. > I read also the thing with the STORAGE PATH, but idon't really understand > this.

Package 915resolution and new intel driver
by Juan Antonio Marin Beltran

Hi.
As I said one week ago, here are my 2 packages to support widescreen monitors with intel 915 graphics drivers. The packages are: z-915resolution: This package patch the 915 Bios to put 1440x900 and 1680x1050 modes on it. z-xorg6-intel: This package have the Xorg 7.1 intel driver that supports i740, i810, i915, i945, i950 and new models of GMA graphics like GMA3000 and GMA3100 (but the last need also a kernel patch to intel-agp module). You can use only the first package and play with modelines, or use the two packages and let the driver to autoconfigure. In this way, it's important to comment all manual Xorg settings in thinstation.conf packages (resolution, refresh, etc). I tried all with TS2.3 and it works fine with a 1680x1050 20" monitor, 1440x900 19" and 1280x1024 17" (4:3) monitor. Notes: The packages "superseed" some core TS files (/etc/init.d/x & xorf.conf template). Because it, the name of packages begins with "z-" to be sure that the patched files merge in the image at last stages. The patchs are -ignoreABI option in Xorg to let the intel 7.1 driver to load on 6.9. Another patch is the comment o Xinerama in xorg.conf template because this driver fails with this option. So this packages aren´t xinerama compatible. To use the packages, only add "package z-915resolution" and "package z-xorg6-intel" to build.conf, before gunzip and untar in packages dirs. The packages are here: http://www.uco.es/~tonin/z-xorg6-intel.tar.gz http://www.uco.es/~tonin/z-915resolution.tar.gz Let me know any problems.

Hello Juan,
I have tried your patches with an i810 system and still cannot get a 1440x900 monitor to work. The 2 packages are the only ones included in for video, and I can see that they are loaded, but I still get "No mode of that name" in the xorg log. I have tried letting it auto detect and manually entering the resolution. Is there something else I can try? Thanks

hi,
you provided the use of z-xorg6-intel.tar.gz able to work Thinstsation-2.3beta2 can work, the use of intel mobile 915GM, to the resolution of 1400X900. Now would like to ask you, how you are xorg6-intel compiler, and can not give a solution to it. Because I saw thinstation FAQ, and did not find that and how to compile xorg-driver, thank you!
