Talk:FAQ
From coLinux
No discussion about the FAQ page? geez....
I edited Q3 to include updated information about the partition numbers of extended and logical partitions. I have not tested all these to verify them, but I noticed that all of the comments below in fact agree with eachother, and tell a complete story. My summary says everything that the rest says, without the questions and confusion.
I nominate the rest of the details for deletion, or maybe heavy summarizing to credit the people who submitted the data.
In fact, I think I'm going to do this. If it upsets anyone, revert my most recent change.
The link from coLinux page to FAQ is http://wiki.colinux.org/wiki/CoLinux_FAQ the domain name is wrong. 128.227.105.128 22:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Fixed. Thanks. HenryNe
[edit] from: Q34. How to set coLinux's video screen size? 80x25 is too small !
Searching this site gives various suggestions like adding "vga=132x44" to the command line (so it gets sent to the Linux you are running) another suggestion is to put an entry in your configuration file like this: video=cofb:800x600x32 (that might only work for version "Version 0.7.1, kernel 2.6.11 with framebuffer (cofb)" but no other).
None of those do anything - still a puny screen :((
Still another is this:
apt-get install fbset
fbset -xres 640 -yres 400 -depth 32
open /dev/fb0: No such device or address
Still no joy!
There is a four year old discussion of this here (find with google cache): http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.phpforum_id=37489&max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=200411 (link dad?)
A slightly newer discussion here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12577799 (link dad?)
Some support for this is here: Version 0.7.1, kernel 2.6.11 with framebuffer (cofb): A case study from N. Lucas http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/nlucas-2.6.11/20050805/
HenryNe: Nobody has merged cofb into current source. For me, I'm missing the non graphic nt-console.
[edit] from: Q38. How to build a device driver in coLinux?
The output of dmesg is "Linux version 2.6.22-co-0.7.2 (hn@hn-dt) (gcc version 4.1.2)". And I have download the stable-colinux-20071117.tar.gz. I'm trying to test some examples of "Linux Device Driver 3rd". But when I make the program, the compiler will return error for there is no directory as "/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-co-0.7.2-obj" which should have the kernel header files. I don't think there is a "make modules_install" of coLinux. If I want to try some ram file system deiver, for example, how could I make it?
HenryNe: See answer of new entry for Q38
I could not find how to start up nfs server. Is it possible? Thanks.
