Hi thomas !

thanks for aswering - mind if I drop you a note ? I've seen you're
German. I'd love to get in touch with other users in .de again, most of
the "old" ones moved, retired whatever.

Toni,

thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for !
You know, I am used to IRIX fom 5.3 up to 6.2 then a long time of Peecee
work. Bah. When I got back my hands on an SGI (finally) I found that 6.5
changed way more complex as I dreamed about ! Maybe I have seen these
pages before, I tried to solve my problem with so much searching,
sticking my nose in this book in that book... until I've got lost
completely. So I decided to write again, because the tips I got
personally were plain nonsense. (NO, Alan, NOT yours !)
So everybody of you nice guys showed me a step back in real life Wink

I will focus on that pages you suggested, I'm sure this will do the
trick. I always look for a mistake, homemade. I guess it's the same
here, some stupid little mistake I made.

Thanks everybody - I really apprechiate it !

Cheers
Ralf

Hi guys !

Maybe someone of you could help me with this.
I work with an 425 Mhz./V6, nothing special.

I'd like to connect my Dials box I used with my Crimson and the
Indigo(s)². Some guy from this group told me I have to install

eoe.sw.optinput

because the Dials and/or Dials & Buttons drivers aren't installed by
default no longer.
So I was happy to find that package on the Foundation #1 CD. But:

swmgr tells me that this version of the lib is
incompatible with the IRIX version I have installed.

the lib is a 6.5.4 distribution

my *installed* IRIX is

IRIX64 6.5 07080050 IP30

I've been told that I should first load the Foundation CD, then (with
another instance of swmgr) I should load the Overlay CD's.
That doesn't work. The 2nd swmgr is always a "read-only-mode" one - what
makes perfect sense to me.

Could anybody anybody help me with that - or simply point me in the
right direction. I already browsed the SGI Sites, there is no matching
driver for my version. Is it's even possible to 'downgrade' and if so -
how ? Just for the driver(s) ! What exactly I have to do ? My work (CAD,
3D worx) depends on that dials, they save a looot of time.

I'd greatly apprechiate any hint, tip, whatever !

And, btw, I'd like to install the whole MIDI and software synthesizer
stuff as well. Same problem as above. I buyed the Octane because of it's
excellent sound sub systems, ADAT etc. pp.. Ok, there are a few apps,
starting at Audiopanel and DAP and up - but I need the MIDI and Software
Synth stuff as well. But how to ....?

TIA

Cheers
Ralf
