dhcpcd probs

1998-10-06 Thread Peter Gruber
Hi all

I have some problems using the dhcpcd package on my systemI worked fine, 
until my university decided to put up an firewall (everything can go out, but
no port connections in) in front of us. Apparently the DHCP-server isn“t on my
side.

Has anyone some ideas to solve the problem ? (there is also a bootpc-server on
the other side, and my bootpc-client works)

 Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi All

I have the same problem, but I can add some more Information maybe it
helps!

If I run X (3.3.6) I have no problems running the test3dfx binary, except
setting it to another resolution then I get a segfault. Running Quake from
X seems to work at first glance, but it seems to open another vt (usally
vt4) and I have to switch to this vt manually to get keypresses, but then
the colors get bad. Leaving Quake leaves all consoles in unusable state
(some wierd colors).

Running test3dfx or quake from console fails with the message above !

Can anybody help? Or is there some documentation somewhere?

ciao

I have the /dev/3dfx node and I have the 3dfx module (it get loaded
everytime I start test3dfx ) and I have the right permissions!

The problem is: If I start test3dfx in a xterm from X ist works.
If I start it from the console it doesn't.

If I start quake from X it works it just ignores keypresses unless I
switch to console 4 (eithet chvt 4 or strg-alt-4) and if I do so the
colors get bad and after quitting the display is unusable!

thanks for your help !

ciao
