Configurating the monitor etc for X
by Abhijeet D Mhatre 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Hi Long ago there used to be a command line utility called Xconfigurator which would probe the monitor and other things and write these settings in XF86Config. This utility was there till RedHat Linux 6. Afterwards it was discontinued. I have a RedHat Linux system installed (RH 9). If I chanage the monitor, X doesn't work. because the monitror has to be configured. Is there any command line utility which can help probe and configure the monitor. I tried searcing for Xconfigurator on the net, but the rpms and srps on http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/20917/com/Xconfigurator-2.0.1-1… give the errror messsage "not an rpm package (or package manifest):" I need either Xconfigurator source code or some other similar utility. regards Abhijeet D Mhatre

Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] NFS Mount via Command Line

Hey Mitul, I'm still fighting to get a correct Nfs moun= ted root filesystem. So correct me if I'm wrong when I did the following :< BR> --> I exported my newly built embedded (hardly,....its 20 M= B in size) rootfs from my host machine. --> = This is thus my NFS server. I started portmap, nfs and mfslock services. --> On my so called target ( I'm just using another i686 PC f= or trial purposes, before porting it on the actual machine), I started the = same services. --> I have only a kernel on my client/target system= with NFS, Network block Devices and TCP netwroking options enabled. = --> I'm still using Grub (for obvious reasons) and the entry is as follo= ws : Title NFS-rootfs root (hd0,4) = kernel /bzImage-2.4.20 rw root=/dev/nfs = ; nfsroot=<nfs-server-address>:<path-to-rootfs-on-server> ip=<client ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip&= gt;:<subnet mask>::eth0:off Thats it !!! See anything wrong? Raseel. &g= t;Its a bad idea as you can see, you need to hardcode this into the kernel = source >code for the command line (unless you have good boot loade= r, grub is one, but i >didnt have success in putting up Grub, the = stages file size are too big for >embedded systems ), and somethin= g that is hardcoded is certainly not good. > >But yes it = is a good idea if you have thin clients and that you know the IP of &= gt;NFS Server and the path is never going to change. Choice is yours :) = [1] [ad=] References 1. 3D"http://clients.rediff.=/
