I've come to the conclusion that no Microsoft operating system works well
and 100% reliably (or as close as) on any other non-intel chips. I've been
trying various different chips over some years now and just can't get the
realibility that you can from intel chips. There were rumours that 'loops'
and other such nasties were written into NT to stop it working so well with
cyrix, amd (etc) chips but I guess we'll never know..
However, in my office I have three K6 machines, one running Novell Netware,
the other two Turbo Linux and Red Hat v6 boxes. Both Linux boxes have been
running since they were built (whenever v6 was released) and no complaints
at all.. I seem to remember someone saying that a lot of the code is
optomised for AMD/Cyrix chips - perhaps I ought to build an Intel machine
and compare them...
My experience shows Intel for Windows, and anything else for Linux..
perfect!
Jon..

Subject: Hardware supported OpenGL with Ati Rage 128?
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 20:14:47 +0100
Hi,
Is there any way of persuading MesaGL, the Linux OpenGL replacement, to
recognise and use the OpenGL that my graphics card supports?
My System: Red Hat 6
Graphics: ATI Rage Fury 128 GL SG TV AGP 2X(English)
X: Accelerated/X 5 (with the patches up to about
revision 10).
I know Xi are releasing an OpenGL system to work with Accelerated/X but
it seems to cost about �400, which is more than I can afford right now. Is
there any more economical way to drive the card?
I note that MesaGL can also run with a 3Dfx Glide shared library. Is
there anyway of getting a Glide library for the ATI card. AFAIK, ATI are
refusing to support or write any drivers for Linux systems.
Cheers, Thanks in advance.
--Pat.

Subject: After kernel upgrade: getting scsi bus resets
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:58:28 -0500
I have a Sun Sparc5, and after upgrading my kernel from
2.2.5-15 to 2.2.5-22, I get numerous scsi bus resets that
I didn't get before.
One of the messages printed as a result of the scsi bus resets
was --> "AIEEE wide msg received and not HME."
After looking around in the source code, I saw that the message
originates from source file: /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/esp.c
function: check_multibyte_msg
Questions:
1) Do you have a general idea what the problem might be?
2) What does "AIEEE wide msg received and not HME." mean?
3) Is there a way I can fix this?
4) Were there significant changes in esp.c
from version 2.2.5-15 to version 2.2.5-22?
5) Could there be a problem with initial ramdisk ?
(I followed the instructions given in the kernel
HOW-TO for the kernel upgrade to 2.2.5-22.)
BEFORE the upgrade:
The RedHat 6.0 CD-ROM that I bought has kernel version 2.2.5-15.
After installation via the CD-ROM, I had no problems reading or
writing data to/from either of my 2 disk drives.
AFTER the upgrade:
After upgrading the kernel to 2.2.5-22, the scsi bus resets
occur in two cases:
1. during the boot sequence
2. after the system is up, whenever a command involving
files on the 2nd disk drive (the 500Meg drive) is run.
(i.e. ls, cp, mv, etc.)
During the boot sequence, just before the login screen appears,
the disk drive starts clicking (i.e. the bus interrupts are occurring).
It clicks for almost 2 minutes with just the blue blank screen
before the Redhat login screen appears.
I have all of my rpm files on the 2nd disk drive, and when I
install an rpm, the biggest ones take almost 5 minutes to complete.
I was a bit worried about data corruption with the bus resets
happening, but the rpms applied ok and the system runs fine.
(as long as I don't try to run any commands involving data on the
2nd disk drive.)
On the other hand, if I run commands which involve files only on
the primary disk drive (the 4Gig drive), the scsi bus resets don't
happen at all and the system runs ok.
I've included some additional info that I hope might help in
deciphering this problem.
Thanks,

There is an SVGA server available that allows use of the voodoo3 3000
card. How would I know? I use it and it works great! To go along the
thread, I made sure I could use it under X before I shelled out money for
it. I was always a fan of ATI (they're Canadian :) ), but since they have
decided to not support linux, damn 'em to hell. And the voodoo3 3000
whoops any of ATI's cards (except it doesn't support 32bit in 3d).
