Date: Tue, 30 Jan 1996 07:24:16 +0800 From: Peter Wemm Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I guess this is an odd question, but I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with the Linux native netscape when running under our emulator. Specifically, check http://proto.netscape.com/ and see if it correctly gives you scroll bars, or whether you have to press arrow keys first. The scroll bars do not seem to be being resized properly on initial open of a non-paneled screen either. It happens to me whether I run it under 2.1R through to the current version that I've been beating up in my kernel in order to fix problems with it and fill in missing stuff. At this stage, it'd be really useful for me to know: 1: Does 2.0b6a actually work on linux properly? If so, what libc, libm and ld.so is in use? (the rest of the X11/Motif stuff is statically linked) 2: Does the Linux 2.0b6a version run on the NetBSD linux emulator ok? 3: Does it work for anybody else on FreeBSD? I know the BSDI version of 2.0b6a works fine for me, but it doesn't have Java support in it. I've just about run out of ideas of what to look for.. I've tried a fair few things already, including imitating the linux signal stack frames with a specific trampoline and sigreturn for those. I've found some non-trivial bugs in the emulator itself that I'm really suprised have not turned up by now (including kernel VM leaks, mismapped pages, not freeing resources when doing error recovery, etc). Any suggestions would be appreciated! -Peter
