The speed of light in a vacuum is a smidge under 30cm per nanosecond.
In FREE Space.
The speed that electrical signal travel through copper wire is slower
than this by a few percent, as I recall.
In FREEE space. On a circuit board, the speed is slowed by the
SQRT( dielectric constant) of the board in question. So on a typical
FR4 board, the speed of electrical propogation is just over 50% of 'c',
dielectric constant ~= 3.9.
So it takes more than 3.3 nanoseconds for a signal to travel down a meter
of copper wire.
And over 6 nano seconds if the wire is on a typical circuit board.
Whcih just goes to show that a nanosecond is a rather short period of time.

But sooner or later they add up to real-time.

I would like to know if anyone has been using this chipset in linux
and their comments on it. I recently purchased the Asus P3V4X which
has this chipset. i am really interested in comments on the udma66 in
this chipset like perforance and how to get it working. i just
replace my Abit BE6-II with this new one cause of the problems with
stability and the udma66 controller performance.
Thanks

If your having difficulty with getting GNOME to run, try installing the
Helixcode GNOME packages. They're very easy to use and set up a lot of the
really messy stuff for you.

# Sound configuration Linux !!
# =
# 1.) SB 16 or Clones
# 2.) Synthesizers opl3 Chips
# 3.) MIDI Chips UART401
# 4.) Game Ports.
# 5.) DSP (v_midi)
It is not easy to configure sound in Linux, but it works even with TV
cards!
Hardware example
IRQ=3D5
BASE IO=3D0x220 ( IO BASE Soundblaster )
MIDI IO=3D0x300 Uart401 ( uart soundblaster )
DMA 8 Bit=3D1 SB 16 ( 8 Bit dma )
DMA 16 Bit=3D7 SB 16 ( 16 Bit dma )
SYNTHI =3D0x388 SB 16 ( FM )
GAME =3D0x200 ( Game )
1. Initialisation of PnP cards
2. Loading the OSS - modules (soundcore, sound)
3. Loading Midi, Synthi Hardware with proper hardware configuration
4. Loading the SB moduls with adresses,irq for SB, UART, Synthi
First activate PnP Bios support in BIOS if possible ( all newer boards )
Create a /etc/isapnp.conf
pnpdump -c /etc/isapnp.conf /etc/isapnp.conf =
Example Vibra16c USE YOUR BASE IO=B4s...
# *** PnP *** #
# Trying port address 0203
# Board 1 has serial identifier e5 ff ff ff ff 70 00 8c 0e

It's a bit out of date. Several companies offer Linux support now for
their UPS's including APC.
I have just got a Upsonic UPS 600VA which will have Linux 'drivers'
in about 3-4 weeks.
UPS works fine.
A simple way of using any UPS with linux is to check (Scan) the
status pin of the UPS. It would either be high or low in back-up
mode. It should then be simple to include a timer that will
say shutdown if status is back-up for more than, say 5 minutes.
Havent tried yet just got the UPS...

Is this a problem with being logged on as root ?
I have found other executables which I cant run and I get the same

and if I make a script, even though it starts with

I asked some time ago why backspaces in "read XX" in shell script works
fine in
non-X mode (acting as character delete), but fails in XFree86.
I eventually figured out (from reading the "keyboard and console HOWTO")
that delete and backspace are set up wrong (in the HOWTO author's
opinion
and in my opinion...) in X. In spite of them working properly in non-X
environments, X appears to remap those characters silently. The fix I
adopted
was to place an
stty erase ^H
in /etc/profile.local. I think you could also put in your own .bashrc or
,profile or /etc/profile, depending on your taste. My understanding is
that /etc/profile.local is the best place for this if you want;
a. the change to apply to all users
b. the change to stick when you upgrade linux, as an upgrade may
overwrite /etc/profile, but is not supposed to touch
/etc/profile.local.
Someone please correct me if the above is wrong, and let me know
what The Right Way is, and Why.

At least when you start X xmodmap is normaly used to setup the keyboard.
So one could type xmodmap on the prompt to see the settings in X.
Here is my .Xmodmapfile from my home-dorectory which was working on SUSE

I'm using a laptop with a Trident Cyber 9397DVD, and as an earlier post

You describe, though its only really noticeable in 24-bit. I think it
does
not occur in 32 or 16 bit. I didnt yet suspect Netscape 4.5 but Ill take

Does anyone have any suggestions? Also does anyone know whether one of
the two choices for the Cyber 9397 in the XFree86 Setup program is

I have no idea. Basically I just edited my XF86Config file

I'd install Win98 first - use a disk to boot to dos, use fdisk to setup the

be used for linux - you'll partition the Linux side when you get to the
