Rescued from tadpole long ago.
Installing Packages
To install the ISDN package run 'smit install_latest', press F4 and select
the CD-ROM drive as the install device. Enter 'all' in the 'SOFTWARE to
install' field, and select 'yes' or 'no' as required in the 'COMMIT software'
field. Press [Return] twice to complete installation.
You will notice that the installp fix (bos.obj.tp00003) is automatically
installed BEFORE the ISDN package. This is normal.
To install the update packages the process is similar, but the initial
fast-path command will be 'smit install_subsystems'. The device selection is
the same, but in this case the 'SOFTWARE to install' field will be pre-set with
'all', and the COMMIT flag will be turned off. Press [Return] twice to complete
installation of the fixes.
Note: The default filesystem size of 4MB for /tmp
will not be enough for a successful application of the updates. At least 7.8MB
must be free in /tmp. Use "smit chfs" to increase the size of /tmp
accordingly.
Known Problems
There is a problem with the one or more of the IBM originated X11 fixes
removing N40-specific entries from the GAI ODM database. The symptoms are known
to appear when attempting to run the OpenGL extension to X11.
If after running the X-server with the GLX extension installed, attempts to
run OpenGL programs or demonstrations fail with a message like...
Window type not found!
X Error of failed request: GLXBadDrawable (invalid GLX Drawable)
Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (X_GLXSwapBuffers)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 10
...then you should check the GAI database by typing the following command:
ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q 'Adapter_Id = 76021760' GAI
Your screen should list four entries as follows (the order of the entries
is not important):
# ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmget -q 'Adapter_Id = 76021760' GAI
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "0x400"
Module_Path = "loadAncSoft"
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "ddx"
Module_Path = "adapter9.r4/loadddx"
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "rms"
Module_Path = "adapter9.r4/loadrms"
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "0x350"
Module_Path = "3dm5/loadsoftm5"
#
You may find that the last entry is missing. To replace it, and correct the
problem with OpenGL, type the following exactly as shown, except that
<Ctrl-D> is typed as a single control key.
ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmadd
GAI:
Adapter_Id = 76021760
Module_Key = "0x350"
Module_Path = "3dm5/loadsoftm5"
Note: You may have to type TWO Ctrl-D characters
to get the shell prompt back.
You will have to re-start the X-server before running any OpenGL
programs.
If you start the X-server manually, the command line will be
something like:
xinit -- -x GLX -x abx -x mbx
Patches
ADDRTS.C Program to add hardware flow control to the
modem.
UPDATE bos.tp00003
This update changes installp and ckprereq to prevent the loading of BOS
updates that might affect the correct operation of the N40. This update should
be loaded before attempting to load any BOS updates. This update will
automatically be loaded before any other update or package on this CD-ROM.
bos.tp00003
PACKAGE isdn.0295
This is the ISDN software package for the N40, current as of February 2nd

UPDATE sfd.tpd0001
This is an update to the SCSI Diskette Driver package on the
AIX 3.2.5 for N40 Version A.2 CD.
The update has been issued to support the use of the 1.44 MB capacity external
SCSI Diskette unit.

UPDATE x11rte.tpx0003
This package includes new versions of the N40-specific X-Windows modules
which work correctly with updated X servers from IBM PTFs. These versions allow
the installation of IBM PTFs without reintroducing some known problems.
