Subject: Onboard VGA shared memory causing problems?
Date: 28 Mar 1999 15:09:12 GMT
Hi
I recently purchased a new system which amazingly enough came witha a new
motherboard (from the looks of things, and the bad research i've been
doing, it looks to be a M571 from pcchips)
The onboard VGA (which i have currently enabled) has an option in the
BIOS to allocated from 1 to 4 of the 64 MB of system ram i have as video
ram. So if i chose 4mb video ram, the system would supposedly have 60 left.
To put it simply, it sounds bad. Win 98 doesn't seem to mind (it even
recognizes i only have 60mb of ram) but i have had nothing but problems
trying to use linux (amazing number of segfaults, gpf's, kernel panic due
to paging) and its come to a stage where im unable to install at the
moment (the redhat 5.2 install program dies partway through)
Could there be some problem where linux doesn't know that the area of ram
that the bios is using as video ram shouldn't be touched, and it
therefore tries to use it, causing problems?
Its either something like that or my MB/Ram/processor is faulty, and i'd
rather not have too replace them :)

no monitor (already had a 17")

I haven't heard of anybody having any luck o/c 366s to 550. Have you?

Kinda pointless when there aren't any drivers. Perhaps at some point in
the future there will be -- but until then, you'd -- depending on
the type of drive -- either not be able use it or only use it as a recular
CD-ROM drive.

look at the homepage for ghostscript to see a compartiblety list.
I guess the 890 is like the 850. so you need a ghostscript with
a 850 driver. simply type gs -h to get a list of all supported devices.
look for cdj850. if is not there compile your own gs or copy from
RH or SUSE.
hope that help

The 'resume' feature (surprise) dumps memory to disk. Have you set up a place
for the machine to dump memory? It can be a dedicated partition or a dos file.
Check the setup cd.

Hi Clay,
you also need to say bye-bye to the PCI modem, which is not only
PCI (too bad), but also a true winmodem (this is what HCF stands for).
Your Robotics thing could be either good "hardware" modem or again
a minmodem; look it up in http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
If you are not lucky, I can only suggest that you look up
a list of vendors who sell modems which work in Linux ($40..$50):
http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/CheapBox.html#modem
Once you have a modem on your motherboard and if it was not
recognized at boot-up (see setserial -g /dev/ttyS*), then
you can configure everything using the same setserial (see
its excellent man page).
Cheese,
Andrew

I was talking to Seagate support engineer a few days ago when I was trying
to
understand their model numbering system. According to him there is no such
thing as "Narrow Ultra2". Ultra2 is always 16-bit even though
they sometimes drop the "W"

I was under the impression that the raw data speed of drives was

I'm quite jealous ( although sceptical) !
hdparm for my PII350 system shows ~10MBytes/sec for a Quantum 6.4 SCSI
narrow (and ~400K /sec for par. ZIP ext2).

I totally agree with this persons point of view. I am in no way very qualified
to make too many comments on this subject, but I am a musician wishing for better
hardware and software to build a DAW. I recenlty bought a Layla, and also
recently sold it because it is not all it was cracked up to be. I sold it to a
friend who is having all kinds of trouble syncing the MIDI, and that's when
Windows 95 isn't crashing and he has to reboot. He has been working on the same
album for ever it seems, and is now finishing the drums at $55/hr in a studio,
mostly trying to get Layla to work properly. Anwyay, the question I have is
this. Considering what all is out there and what is NOT supported by it,
wouldn't it be better to have a binary only driver for a multi-channel sound card
for Linux, than not have any driver at all? Sure, the source isn't there to do
whatever you want with, but at least the card would be supported under Linux.
Like I said, I don't run a studio, and I don't even really have any multi track
recording equipment at this time, but I can say that if it's not supported by
Linux, I pretty much don't use it at this time. I will be in the market in the
next couple years to build a studio, and you better believe that Windows is the
LAST OS that I will look at for running the studio.
Just my two cents.

I have a Matrox G200 video card and i'd like to play Quake(Team Fortress!) at high
resolution modes. Unfortunately the svgalib doesn't support that card, so I only
get those sucky modeX video modes. I just installed a new 2.2.4 kernel with
framebuffer support and matrox chipset support enabled, and all those modes work
nicely at the console / under X, but the svgalib doesn't seem to have framebuffer
support either.
Anyone know if there are plans for the svgalib to support matrox cards, or if there
is a svgalib version with framebuffer support?
Thanks in advance,
