Hi!
I dont't know if your special card will work (very like to do not), but
if the LCD panel has a nominal resolution of 1024x768 and a DFP-Port,
then chances are, that it will work with the ATI Xpert LCD card which is
supported by a patched version of XF86_Mach64 V3.3.3 available from
http://www.fachschaften.uni-bielefeld.de/physik/leute/marc/X/
together with instructions to get it up'n'running.
Else you could do with the Framebuffer Device of kernels 2.2.x and the
XF86_FBDev server.

I am looking for Linux driver for Epson LQ 850 printer. Actually, I am
trying to configure Brother- MFC 7150C printer which can emulate EPSON
ESC/P (LQ-510, LQ-850, LQ-2550) printers. Does anybody had a successful
experience with any of these printers at Linux systems? Thanks a lot for
ANY comments.

Don't know ... :(
But I confirm that Linux don't use the PIII capability unless the hard
wired improvement.

Subject: Lap top serial port to terminal emulater HOW TO SETUP???
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 10:19:56 +0100
Hi
I want to remotely manage my Linux laptop (hide it under a desk).
I am having trouble at present doing this via XWindows and telnet SO I
thought I would try a standard serial terminal emulater to the serial port
on the laptop.
BUT I am buggered if I can make the terminal emulater talk to the linux box
(or it could be the other way around??).
Any help or pointers would be gratefully recieved.

Travan's are too slow. If it's a commercial venture
the 800 bucks for a DAT is worth it. Ours does 24GB compressed.

I am trying to set up Com1 (/dev/ttyS0) on my RH5.2 system so that it
can communicate with an APC SmartUPS. I have the apcupsd program, but it
fails to connect, possibly because the bps rate is wrong.
I have used the command 'setserial /dev/ttyS0 divisor 48 spd_cust' in an
attempt to bring the bps down to 2400 (which I believe is required) from
115k, but the daemon still will not connect.
I'd appreciate any ideas.

Windows 3.1 has some good internal routine names, including
SCALE_THIS_SHIT.

Very nice, and I bet you could put a Winchip on there and go at 180 or
200 MHz.

No...even if there were comments...you need to understand the code, to
verify that the comment and the comment match...
The only thing that would help here is some target practise if you get a
good shoz at the programmer :))
See ya

Hi group. I'm somewhat new to the Linux/UNIX environment, but am not too
intimidated by it yet...
What I'm looking for is an ideal configuration for a Linux server.
I'm planning on using a P2-350 with 64MB of RAM, along with a 3Com 3C90X
'Vortex' card but am unsure of what Video card to get to run the X-Windows
environment.
Please let me know what you think is ideal for video, and for disk-space...

Just make sure you've got a redundant power supply and cpu fan...
