I was thinking about | a G400 32MB. It wasn't listed in version 3.3.3.1, but perhaps it'll be in one of the newer versions. You might check http://www.xfree.org. A quick look indicates the G400 isn't fully supported yet in 3.3.4 which was just released. There's no mention of the MBs of the card. I'd hazard that you might want to hold off a little while, or get the 16MB card. However, Matrox apparently is very supportive of X so it's sure to be supported in the not too distant future. If you are interested in the Matrox G400, maybe you'll like one of the boards with the TNT2 chipset from Nvidia. One friend of mine just got a Diamond Viper V770 Ultra (It costs the same as the Matrox G400), and It runs fine in X using the Xserver downloaded from the Nvidia site. Nvidia gave the drivers to the XFree team, and it will work fine with future XFree releases. He even plays Quake II and Quake III-test using the glx (open-gl) acceleration that the card provides. Just my $0.02, Guess I'll throw mine in. If you have a large monitor (= 20in) capable of high resolutions (e.g. 1600x1200) at a high refresh rate (80Hz), stick with the Matrox cards. They perform wonderfully with the more capable monitors out now. You won't be happy with anything else (specifically the TNT2's max refresh at 1600x1200 is 75Hz). I'm getting the G400 Max as soon as I know it's supported. -- Jonathan H. Wheaton | Insert some cool saying here.

Re: problems with defrag 0.73
That's correct. I've had filesystems for years that never get more than a few percent fragmentation. If you *really* want to do this, you need to copy e2fsck and defrag to a floppy and boot off the rescue disk. When the installation screen comes up, go to the option to start a shell (or switch to the second virtual terminal) and mount the floppy under /mnt. At this point none of your hard disk partitions are mounted so you can run e2fsck and defrag on them. Just ctl-alt-del to reboot the system when you're finished. I just e2fsck'd all the partitions on a box the other night using this very method. Jonathan On Mon, Aug 23, 1999 at 01:00:13PM -0600, Cheshire wrote: You sure you need to defrag? I forget where the info was drawn from before, but anyway, by nature of the e2 file system, it's quite the rarity that it needs to be defraged--one of those FAT habits I was glad to kick. |cheshire| -Original Message- From: Oliver Larisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Monday, August 23, 1999 7:13 AM Subject: problems with defrag 0.73 Hi ! I ve a little problem with defrag 0.73. I tried to e2defrag my root partition /dev/hda4 and defrag said: cannot work on mounted device. Then I 've tried to umount it but my system (debian 2.1 kernel 2.2.5) said: device is busy. I went to runlevel 1 in order to singeluse it, but the same game went on. In runlevel 1 the root partition /dev/hda4 is read only. I'm not able to unmount it. What did I wrong and how to shoot it?? Thanx IA, for helping me.
