Hey Will - sorry to bother you - I am trying to get XSI6.01 to work on our render....er....farm...er....plot....he he..............and I am having issues - even just trying to get XSI 6.01 to run seems to be hit and miss - sometimes it fires up fine, other times you type /usr/Softimage/XSI_6.01/Application/bin/xsi and it just sits there - not giving any error messages or anything!!

Aslo in Royal Render it will give error messages and deassign the client - then another time render!

We are running Suse 10.2 - is there anything I must look out for that you know of????

Thanks

Sandy

Hi Sandy,

I finally got it to work..After you Rmmod the module type the following
in the shell mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb after I did that
I was able to install the license key and start the server.  You can
then choose to add that line to etc/fstab to have it load automatically.


Cheers!
Will

Hi Sandy,

Yeah - I got the bit about the rmmod not working - which is why I
suggested permanent removal.

As far as retrofitting it depends on whether Suse ships with the
source to the kernel you're running. Have a look at /usr/src/ (ls -l)
you should see a symlink called linux pointing to another directory in
there which contains the source for the kernel you're running.

If this is the case then cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
set the option I mentioned earlier
make modules
make modules_install

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Alan.

The removing of ds9490r module does not seem to work here - I will

try

completely removing it as you suggest - but so far, running rmmod

ds9290r

and then /etc/init.d/spm stop, start - is not working!

Thanks for you help
