X and Fluxbox :: SiS USB



Depending on what you're trying to compile, you will usually find that something is missing and usually you can find it for dsl-n on the knoppix 4.0.2 cd/iso.

I got the same crt1.o error and found the missing file in the knoppix iso.

Note also that in 2.6.x the compile steps are not quite the same as in 2.4.x (which is detailed in several threads in the dsl section) - this thread and this other thread might be useful.

Ref: "other thread" note that the use of linux-kernel-headers_2.5.999 is not correct (but nevertheless works in some circumstances), better to use linux-2.6.12.tar.gz from kernel.org

Thanks for help
i downloaded and dpkg -i some package u pointed me
now seems workign fine
(unluckily, my friend now cannot help me and i'm really noob at this so i'll wait tomorrow for my friend :D )

tyvm for the help, ever useful help :)
Ok
i spent last 2 days compiling kernel modules
i compiled sisusb.ko module using knoppix dvd
then i copied module into dsl-n (copied into /home/dsl/sisusbvga directory so i know it'll backup at reboot)

i need to say thanks here to all ppl helped me into compiling steps :D (and replied me to boring post on different topics :) )

last, but not least, inserted
Code Sample
insmod /home/dsl/sisusbvga/sisusb.ko
into /opt/bootlocal.sh so i know will be loaded at startup

Then attached a second monitor to sisusb
monitor show black screen with red border: and this mean it's receiving input from sisusb (ie: it's work)
now, it's just a matter of XF86Config
woooot

BUT

i configured XF86Config-4, and this is how it looks like:
Code Sample

# cat /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "ServerLayout"

EndSection

i already checked, and there are sisusb_drv.o driver into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/driver folder (so it's not a driver problem)

but monitor does'nt show anything
i'm pretty sure is a configuration problem with monitor and XF86
so, where am i wrong?

(PS. monitor work fine with a sisusb into fedora 7, so it's not the monitor...)
ty for all

best regards
Is this the same X config you use in Fedora?

well...
nope...
'cause in dsl-n i use xfree86 (touchscreen issue) and in fedora i use xorg

btw i cut&pasted most section from fedora's xorg.org into dsl-n's XF86Config-4
