> Tel:(617)942-1655PK -- We have the same setup, running GRASS4.1 on a SPARCclassic with
Solaris 2.2: and no v.digit. We have had to keep an old workstation
(SUN 386i) active runnig GRASS4.0 & SunOS 4.0.2 in order to run the
digitizer. This subject was brought up before on the lists, but never
resolved. I'm not sure if it is a SOLARIS 2.x problem or a GRASS 4.1
problem.v.digit runs like a DOG in "no digitizer" mode, something to do with
the fifo's and SOLARIS, I've been told. Does your v.digit run without
the digitizer?Also, I think v.digit was changed in GRASS4.1, and there is a "v.digit2" or
"v.digit.old" code around which is the GRASS4.0 v.digit -- can anyone
shed some light on this? Has ANYONE got an ALTEK AC31 running WELL on
GRASS4.1?Ronald Thomas ront@meeker.cfnr.colostate.edu
We run GRASS4.1 on SunOS4.1.3 on IPC's, IPX's Sparc 1+'s, Sun 690, etc.
The following settings on our Altek AC31 controller work fine with v.digit
(v.digit2 is the 4.0 version):
S1 S2 S3 S4
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
1 x x x x
2 x x x x
3 x x x x
4 x x x x
5 x x x x
6 x x x x
7 x x x x
8 x x x xWe are using the al30f8_16 digitizer driver in our digcap file.
This setup works for us on a Sun IPC and a Sun Sparc 1+. Good luck!
Why am I dreading the switch to Solaris 2.x ?!!
