Hi *,
Recently, I purchased Orchid F1280+ and KFC 15" monitor.
They indeed gave me some excitement, but they also gave
me some problems.
1. scrolling problem when installing either FreeBSD 1.0R or
NetBSD 0.9: After inserting "filesystem" or "inst1" and
enter, the hardware info is unreadable. It looks something
like this:
Usually, when the output is full of a screen, the next line will
show up after all previous output lines scroll up one line. However,
with F1280+ and KFC, the 1st 25 lines of output stay there
and the following output lines scroll up in an overwrite manner.
(tough to understand, right??)
For example, suppose I have a monitor which is only capable of
displaying one line. And if I want to cat a file of two lines
like: 1 2
3 4.
When I cat, the final output is '1234', instead of ' 3 4'.
BTW, I can install without any problem by using the same
monitor with Genoa 7900 (an ET4000 card).
2. strips filled in popup menu when using XFree86 2.0 + XS3 +
twm. When using xpmroot, the background display is, hmm,
WRONG. It's hard to describe. But it looks like there
are evenly-spaced strips all over the root window.
Does anyone in the net with Orchid F1280+ (801, ISA) and KFC
have similar problem?? If yes, please email. If not, please
also email me and tell me your hardware configuration.
Thanks in advance!!
