I started this a few years ago to keep track of things I did using OS/2. Everything kind of fell to the wayside and I got bored. I think most blogs are like people yelling in the middle of nowhere with no one to listen and this one is no different. I have become un-bored for awhile and decided to play with Bogger again to keep track of nothing important.

MV2120
Almost to the end of installing Debian on my new (sort of) HP MV2120. Installed (2) 1TB Seagate drives (ST31000528AS) and formatted LVM/JFS. Installed Apache, mySQL, and others stuff. One of the best things I installed Webmin which is great!

pmvnc
I had a little spare time and, lucky me; I get an email about patches to PMVNC. Eugene ported this years ago and all I did was add a couple fixes – I hate the POS. But Dmitry sent the patches, so I’ll pull it up and see what is what. Hell, maybe I should put the fixes in that GG has been pissing about for a year…
> 1. After an upgrade to the SMP computer I have many problems with the image of the remote desktop. As I understand, this is thread related problem. Two PMVNC thread try to access to the hpsBitmap simultaneously. I have serialized access via mutex in rect32.c, rect4.c and rect8.c modules. Now all works well.
I never saw this on my SMP systems but sounds good.
> 2. During testing, if I have used "Tiny Color" and "Gray Scale" modes, I have received SYS3175 crash in PMMERGE.DLL. I have replaced in rect4.c:
pbmiBitmap = malloc(16 + sizeof(RGB2) * 16) ;
to
pbmiBitmap = malloc(16 + sizeof(RGB2) * 256) ;
And now this works well also.
Never did this either… again sounds good.
> 3. Missed comma after ID_PMVNC in IDD_ABOUT resource template.
Hmmm…. Ok. I guess I should fix and try to use wrc rather than rc just to find if it works.

Make up time...
Class and work have just eaten up my time. However, as things slow down it is time to start playing again! Come Tuesday I should have 2 IBM Xseries 335 servers. One will be loaded with Linux and the other eCS 2.0 RC6.
