Hi. After much aggravation, I've finally decided to post. I'm new to Sun Workstations so please forgive me if I seem ignorant of things obvious to you. Let me tell you what I've done so that you can understand my situation: On the server (sunlab1): sunlab1# whoami root sunlab1# setenv AVIATOR_HOME ... sunlab1# install_aviator BIGFILE ... ... ... (various setenvs) Our lab consists of an IPX server and a few IPCs. So, to run aviator on the IPX: sunlab1# echo "0x29a3e?w 2000" | adb -w /usr/games/aviator/bin/aviator Though the patch says I should get: 0x29a3e: 0x2005 = 0x2000 I come up with: 0x29a3e: 0x2000 = 0x2000 This really doesn't seem like a big deal because aviator does manage to run on the IPX (which, by the way has a monochrome display. The clients have color displays. The IPX has 16mgs RAM and IPCs 8mgs RAM.) So, aviator is cool on monochrome, but I want color!! So, on one of the clients: sun6# rlogin sunlab1 ... sunlab1# setenv DISPLAY sun6:0 sunlab1# aviator And then it hangs. What gives? Oh, another thing. On the IPX I had to run OW3 instead of X11 to get it to run (otherwise the harddrive starts thrashing). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there too little RAM? Was aviator not meant for the IPC? *Please* help me!!! Alex av5410@sjfc.edu
