Please note that several factors decide if support for either will be enabled. First of all, both the AGP card and the host bridge must support the feature. Even if both do support it, the driver may decide not to use it in favor of system stability. This is particularly true of AGP Fast Writes. Any suggestions on enabling Fast Writes or determining or the driver thinks it makes the system unstable (and how to fix it) are welcome. And so I did but nothing changed (by default SBA is enabled).

Re: Mysql question.
When you go to /etc/mysql/ and look in the file my.conf on my system it contains: # This will be passed to all mysql clients [client] #password = my_password port= 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock (no pass set, which is also the default by apt imo). hth I only did apt-get install mysql-server after which I did mysqladmin -u root -p create moregroupware Nothing...

VNC is good when you need to display something graphical on a platform that never anticipated multiuser, networked environments (namely, MS Windows). This is not entirely true. GTK2 apps dog very badly over X whereas with VNC the speed is acceptable. Prime examples are XChat and Pan. Both are related to scrolling. In Pan paging up or down in the article listing takes 1-2 seconds to redraw under X. W/VNC (well, TightVNC, Hextile, no compression) it is nearly instantaneous. XChat also lags badly when scrolling the channel view. Under X when there is quick chatter you'll get jerky 1/2-page scrolls. VNC (same as above) it is almost as smooth as having the client on the local machine. I've done both and settled on TightVNC (server and client) because of the above issues as well as the ability to access my desktop from multiple machines w/o shutting it down and restarting. Most of the time my laptop's got the display up but sometimes I want to just work on the main machine (larger screen, nicer input devices, access to sound, etc) and fire VNC up there in a shared session to take over. Of course I was (and still am) a heavy screen user so there might be a precedent set there years ago. :) I'm currently working via remote X on my normal computer since my girlfriend has claimed my desk for study purposes. I'm currently on her portable booted using a knoppix cd and now remote X'ing on my regular machine and if I wouldn't know better I would say I were working live on that machine. On the 6 houres that my session is open i consumed approximately 200 megabyte of traffic over an 10mbit lan. I have no problems with applications like pan here. Everything works nice the only disadvantage remote X has is that you just can't jump in into a session that was open before. And if I use vnc on the same configuration and if I compare than remote X wins. my 2 cents ;) -- http://www.de-brauwer.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Some languages seem to be very popular in some situations. C is easily the dominant language for most things Linux. So therein lies the question. Why, exactly, is C so popular? Especially in comparison to C++. I can't think of a single reason to use C instead of C++ for most of the coding that I would do. I generally only write user applications. I don't get anywhere near the kernel which is where I'd imagine most of the reason for using C comes in. Yet I see people writing 'modern' GUI applications and using C when I would think C++ would be a much better choice. Is there something that I'm missing? Something that C actually does better than C++ in regards to higher-level functions? First convince me that object oriented programming results in maintainable and debuggable code, then convince me that C++ is a good implementation of OO, and then I might consider C++ instead of C. (I know not all the features of C++ are related to OO, but OO seems to be the main selling point of C++ vs C) I agree, but when it comes to documentation c is the absolute top. man strchr, man strlen, man strcmp, man sin, man cos it's all in the manuals but try do get a description from some of the functions from the C++ STL out of the manpage. It is hardly possible to code C++ and use the features (vector, list, queue and more of those prety things) without buying some dead trees. C is perfectly commented in the manpages, php has php.net, java has the api documentation, perl has perldoc and c++ has /dev/null (i know the first remark is that all c functions that are commented are part of of c++ and you have a piece). -- http://www.de-brauwer.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

One of the biggest disadvantages in windowmaker is (imho) that it is unpossible to execute a command by keyboard in a speedy way.

Dave Normally an x program should obey to the -display flag for example if you switch to console, login as root and type xterm -display :0 A root xterm should appear on you X display. I've tried it with dillo here but dillo just ignores the flag (not implemented yet ?). So try it with a more basic X application like xterm, xclock, xbill ;) ... those should work when you specify the -display flag but first test it from console to verify it works. hth Elie De Brauwer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Does anybody know what happenedt o galeon ?

The newbie guide was helpful: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html although I found the /usr/doc/kernel-package/README to be really good too. This time I was able to make the kernel-image properly, and install it ok, so far as I can tell. My problem is that the system won't boot at all now (except via old floppy boot disk).

I'm stumped. Things appeared to be going well (so far as this newbie could tell) until the reboot failed. Thanks! Did you run lilo after you copied the kernel ? Didn't it give any errors ? It is advisable NOT to overwrite your old kernel until you are 100% sure your new kernel works, just give it a different name and add a new entry in your lilo.conf. My first guess at your problem is that you simly overwrote your old kernel and did not run lilo afterwards.

I just followed the newbie guide, and to me it looked like lilo was run by the dpkg -i process as it asked me several questions about LILO. I googled on this problem and found someone else suggesting that LILO must be run, so I did lilo -v -v -v and then rebooted. Same problem unfortunately. is it possible to rerun lilo with a certain level of verbosity and paste the output here ? I guess I'm not completely sure how to do that. Not being familiar with lilo.conf I'm not sure what a new entry would look like. From looking at yours it seems one can be labeled default and the others can just be added as additional images. Is this right? I notice in my /boot directory that I have vmlinuz-2.4.18 but that in my lilo.conf I have image=/vmlinuz and that's all. That seems to me like the wrong directory and the wrong filename.

Re: Secure browsing across insecure LAN
I think the most easiest way is to open aan SSH connection to your home, enable X11 forwarding en export your browser window to your workplace, this is the easiest way but may consume a little more bandwidth. hth In my workplace they just installed Internet access. However, I wish I could navigate privately some sites (for example, Dmoz.org, where I edit), at least privately from some personal in my company with access to the server. So I think in creating some kind of private tunnel between my work's computer and my home's one, and accessing Internet from my home and tunneling to my work. However, I doubt which method could be better (easier to install/manage?), I'm looking to Dante, Ipsec, socat or maybe some other VPN. However, as I only want to secure WWW, maybe I could just use some kind of SSL service, or maybe even some proxy-ssh combo?.
