Yes, thats totally wrong too. I can't explain to them when a copy or a
move action occurs and what keys to use to influence that. Even though I
show it a thousand times they still do not understand that, or forget it
one week later. As I live on the other end of The Netherlands I can't
come by to show them and have to do it by phone, or wait for my next
visit.
On the other side, they managed to copy some files from a floppy to the
HD, something they never could using a CLI.

Ok, here is my situation.
I have a Genoa V-Raptor 3D(Rendition Verite 2200 chip set)
and a S3 Virge.
Right now there is not an accelerated server for the Verite
but there is for the virge. I want to use the Verite in
Windows so I can have OpenGL and the Virge in linux so I
can have an accelerated X server.
How do I do this?

If destination (i.e. /dev/hdb1) has been created with the exact size of
source
(i.e.: /dev/hda2), then starting with boot floppy and root floppy you
can try
this:
dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/hdb1
Good luck.

Here, here! The early Borland C++ was a truely wonderful environment to build

I agree with most of what you have said Richard.
In a nutshell my belief has always been,
"Select the application, and then the platform"
If you need an application to control robotics that manufacturer
widgets and the best version is available for Solaris, then that is
the way you must go.
Scripting and configuration is an area where nix's have a huge
advantage and don't get me wrong vi and Emacs as well as slrn and the
others I mentioned are fine programs but the average user is not going
to be interested in them after using Outlook or Agent etc, UNLESS they
have very specific needs that those programs can address.
By going back to the 70's I meant a green screen cli interface.
It was a stupid comment on my part anyhow :(

Subject: No hassle sound card for Redhat
Date: 19 Mar 1999 20:19:05 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have an old Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (PAS16) in my system that I have not been
able to get to run. So, I want to get a new sound card.
I don't have many requirements for the sound card, since I don't play any
games on the machine. Just something to make some noise every once in a
while, like while using TiK (AIM client in Tcl/Tk).
However, one of the requirements that I have is that the card just plug in,
configure the kernel appropriately, compile, load and boot. That is, I don't
want to fiddle with PnP sound cards, and I'm out of PCI slots, so it has to be
ISA. Any recommendations?
On the other hand, if you know how to configure the PAS16 to run with the
2.0.36 kernel on Redhat 5.1, I'll be happy to listen to recommendations.
Below is what I've tried so far with the PAS16 - note the '()' in the sndstat
output, indicating that some devices are not enabled
Thanks!

No, again.
1) which config tool are you using?
2) if that one doesn't work try another. Using Xconfigurator? Try
XF86Setup. You can easily set up more than one in XF86Setup.

It isn't.
You are trying to make it that way.
And *if* you *really* want to edit, there is but the *one* (1) file,
XF86Config to edit for your xserver resolution.
Assuming there is only one way to do something in linux is not a wise
assumption. Insisting it is, when given other methods, is ridiculous.

Considering that the motivations to switch videomodes
lessens considerably over time. This is not at all the
big problem that you make it out to be. Pedestrian users
are not making great use of that 'windows facility' to
begin with.
[deletia]
Nevermind that Xconfigurator is not at all complicated
to deal with. It's primary problem is the uglyiess of
it's character cell interface.

The E+ is a PCL printer, and should function fine with a generic PCL printer

it's better to go with an inexpensive PostScript printer though.
You may want to look at the new Lexmark Optra E310, which has full PS Level
2 emulation, 8ppm, USB and parallel ports as standard. - MSRP is $400.
Street price should be slightly lower. This printer replaces the Ep, which
was essentially the E+ with a special PostScript 2 emulation SIMM inside. I
know a kid at school that has one of these running under Linux too. You
might still be able to find the Ep at a good price online.
My Optra RT+ worked perfectly under Caldera, and Irix 5.3 - in the
Postscript emulation mode.

Subject: ATI Xpert under Linux only does 640 x 480 ?!?!
Date: 19 Mar 1999 20:22:03 GMT
I have installed Redhat Linux 5.2 And everything is (appears :-) ) to be
working fine exvcept my graphics card under X-Windows
It is an ATI Xpert@Play PCI 4MB and even when I select Xpert@Play from the
list of cards on installation (and select my Samsung SyncMaster 3Ne from the
list) I have to manually choose screen modes and do select all relevent
ones. However the system will only boot into 640x480 no matter what. It
tells me there is no setting info for 1024x768 and 800x600 or something.
Does anyone know how to install this card under said version of Linux. As
it is a popular card I would have thought this was a common problem. Any
help would be appreciated. I don't mind reinstalling the whole of Linux as
it only take s afew minutes.
An email reply would be appreciated if possible, and in case you need to
know the full machine spec is:
K6 300 on a Tekram board with 512K cache
64Mb SDRAM
3.5Gb IDE UDMA Drive (450Mb partition for Linux and 50Mb partition for swap)
Internal 24x CD-Rom
Internal IDE Zip drive
ISA Soundblaster AWE 64 (Haven't a clue where to start on that but not
bothered about sound anyway :-) )
ISA Rockwell Chipset v90 modem
Realtek network card

support for the 64 bits cards.

Your gonna get a hard time finding drivers for pro-soundcards. I don't
think any pro-audio producer has accepted linux as soundrecording
platform....But good luck - i know you need help - but i'm just tryin' to
give you the sad facts...
