Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 19:10:50 GMT
Has it been forgotten that Linux was not made for folks born in the
Windows world? I had one hell of a time trying to figure out all the
weird/foreign things in Linux but in the end (without any real
documentation) it made me a much better Windows user.
Sometimes going at something blind is a good thing?!

I haven't ever seen it myself, but I've heard from a couple of people
that they run their monitors at higher resolutions than are mentioned in
the manual, so apparently it's possible. Still, I'm pretty sure it's
impossible with laptops because their displays work in a completely
different way.

Doesn't your post answer that question? Lots of people have no idea
how to install ALSA; lots of people who do install it can't get it to
work; and you at least don't know how to uninstall it. Some people
might think those were all reasons not to recommend it.

Subject: Performace with Maxtor 7200RPM 40GB Hard Drive
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 19:36:58 GMT
I recently purchased a 40GB Maxtor IDE drive. I already own a 27.2GB
version of this drive.
(http://www.maxtor.com/diamondmaxplus/40p.html)
When I initially installed the drive, I kept my linux system on /dev/hda,
(It's a Quantum 13.0GB ), and installed the 40GB Maxtor, as hdc, and
27.2, as hdd. When I attempted to autodetect the drive in BIOS, the
procedure hung when it got to the 40GB. So my bios doesn't support it. I
then went to system configuration, and set 2ndary slave to Auto, and
master to NONE. The Post went okay, linux booted up, detected all 3
drives, and mounting them was no problem. I then decided to do some
performance testing. I got 14 - 20 MB/s on hda, 1.5 - 3 MB/s on hdc, and
1.5 - 3 MB/s on hdd. This is unnacceptable. I then moved the 27.2, to
the primary slave (hdb),
then after bootup, I ran 'hdparm -d1 -c1 -A1 -m16 -d1 /dev/hdX' for hda,
hdb, and hdc. Now, hdparm -tT /dev/hda /dev/hdb /dev/hdc reports:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.42 seconds = 90.14 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.93 seconds = 16.28 MB/sec
/dev/hdb:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.27 seconds =100.79 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.57 seconds = 14.00 MB/sec
/dev/hdc:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.30 seconds = 98.46 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 34.71 seconds = 1.84 MB/sec
Keeping in mind hdb, and hdc, are virtually the same drive, with the
exception that hdc cannot be recognized by my bios due to its size, and
I've used identical hdparm command lines on them, this seems very odd.
(My board is an ECS P6BX-AP, ECS tech support told me to try the drive in
my
DFI board, because ECS doesn't support linux. What a freak) I've checked
for an updated bios, I even ventured off into .com.tw, and had no luck.
I would like very much to increase the performace of this drive. My cdrom
currently outperforms it. I'll include some more info, in case it helps
anyone diagnose/suggest a solution: I did attempt to put the 40GB on
primary slave, with the 27.2 on secondary master. I could not get the
system to boot in this configuration.

I think I posted this before, but I'll ask again.
I'd like to try software RAID5 under Linux.
Does anyone know if there are any IDE contoller cards that have more
than two controllers on them. The more the better, but at least four
*independent* controllers (ie., not just slave drives) would be great.
There must be a market for something like this...

ok, try sndconfig that should do the trick in 95% of cases, else.....
download 6.2 (I think thats the latest version out), heak, I could even send
you the cd if you needed. Also, Is it ISA or PCI? if its ISA, the type
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
and then run isapnp
BUT FIRST TRY SNDCONFIG ;-)

It is a high frequency sound that seems to be produced by the monitor.
When the monitor/video card switches between video modes, during logout,
the sound disappears. The monitor is a 1998 Acer 17" monitor (model
77s). I don't know if it is considered old. Should I try setting my
resolution to a lower setting? Right now, it is at the recommended
maximum resolution for this monitor.

Most hdds I expect to last for years. providing there is no overheating

It seems like most drives are rated in the 500,000 hours range MTBF ( mena
