Now that I *finally* have my Netwinder back and in working order, I'd like to try to get an X server that displays on the TV out jack instead of VGA out. I'm back home for the summer, and the only monitor I can use for the thing full time is an ancient C64 monitor that takes NTSC. - - Joel Hardy (jhardy@ews.uiuc.edu) - -- This list is run automagically by Majordomo 1.94.4 Please send email questions to owner-general@netwinder.org To UNSUBSCRIBE: email majordomo@netwinder.org with "unsubscribe general" as the body of your message. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 01 Jun 1999 17:55:14 -0400 From: Ralph Siemsen Subject: Re: X for the TV-out port?

I still have a C64 monitor at home and i use it as a TV.. that's about all it's good for. :) Anyways... the first step should be simply to "insmod tv_ntsc" (possibly with -f) while running X in 640x480 mode. That should get you output on the video outputs. It might not have quite the right colors (50% chance of getting it right). TO fix _that_ you want to get a more recent X server and the newer tv_out modules... have a look in the ftp site in users/d/douglasp for the X server (though Andrew is working on a newer one) and users/r/rggammon/redhat/RPMS for the new netwinder-tv modules. The newer x server will adjust its output to better accomodate video timing requirements, if I recall correctly. - -- Ralph Siemsen -- ralphs@netwinder.org - --- This message processed by the Netwinder.Org news2mail gateway. - -- This list is run automagically by Majordomo 1.94.4 Please send email questions to owner-general@netwinder.org To UNSUBSCRIBE: email majordomo@netwinder.org with "unsubscribe general" as the body of your message. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999 18:27:06 -0500 (CDT) From: Joel Hardy Subject: Where'd the JRE go? My Netwinder blew up, and I finally got it replaced, which means my old hard drive contents are kaput. The JRE used to be on CCC's support page, but the whole thing is down now and I can't find anything on Rebel.com that says anything about the JRE for the Netwinder. Does anybody know where I can find it (or have an RPM you could send me)?
