Linux bncsutil?

[brew]

Does anyone out there have a linux bncsutil version?
I kinda need it ^^;;, cause i'll be damned if i have to port all the hashing-stuff on vim...
i would use an actual IDE but i can't, because apparently xorg can't find an input driver matching 'mouse' and 'kbd'... and when I do start it, it's nothing more then a black screen with an X outlined in white in the center. :/

Sounds like your Desktop Environment isn't set up correctly. What distro are you using?

I'm using arch with gnome.

You sure you installed Gnome correctly?

Sounds like you should just use Ubuntu.

That was low.

@RealityRipple: That wiki article helped a lot, thanks.

What's wrong with Ubuntu? (I like Kubuntu, myself.)

lol.

Try running xorgsetup rather than xorgconfig, then go back and change what you need to manually.

It's not xorg that i'm having trouble with, it's gnome. when i try to run gnome-session I get:
(gnome-session:5745): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
           Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(gnome-session:5745): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

which leads me to believe that the problem is because I do not have the startx command (i can only run xorg by using the command 'X'). If that is the problem, how would i edit what command it uses to start xorg? It's definately in a configuration file somewhere.

But none of this changes the fact that i need the linux version of bncsutil.

I find Gnome to be a bit excessive. Why not use a different window manager?

xwmconfig, go!

[brew]

Ive got gnome working but it's screwed up somehow: http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/1691/92502659ty8.gif
Shouldn'tve gnome taken over the x windows? The resizing and moving is so ackward, and actually closing a window is impossible. Not to mention that the taskbar and desktops are actual windows as well!
As for the bncsutil linux version, forget it. I'm going to just port over my own.

Change your desktop resolution in your VM. You're trying to run it at the same resolution as what your actual OS's display is, which accounts for why you have to scroll.

[brew]

How is that going to help with gnome's lack of window bars..... I'm perfectly fine scrolling (i usually have it in full screen, but i couldn't screenshot it ;/)

Just wondering, what font is used for most of IRIX? As in the desktop icons et al. in this screenshot: http://www.osnews.com/img/1858/irix1.png

Have you installed the vmware tools?  It installs a display driver that allows the desktop resolution to fit to whatever you size the VMWare window to.

It also looks to me that you've got the gnome panels running, but not the correct window decorator & manager, which is causing the problems you're having with window titles.  I can't really help you resolve it.  I would suggest installing a distribution that requires less fussing in order to get a working gnome/kde/whatever session.

I had modified a version of bncsutil to build on linux a while ago, but the link I posted there no longer works.  I'll have to dig around on my desktop later to see if I still have the source.
