Its not muted. Nor is it sound specific, it is any sound file, through any 
sound program (X11Amp, etc...).

Subject: LETS MAKE GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 01:06:50 GMT

WE MUST MAKE GAMES!!!!!!! Is what i am stressing. With linux getting more
user friendly by the day we need to capture the brand new audiences of linux
and sweep them off there feet even more. There are plenty of resources about
the web most of which are free that i have found. Such as 3d engines and
audio engines, excellant graphics programs and animation programs, even the
program that made the Toy Story� characters come to life.
 I am looking to make games of any types Rpg's, 3d shooters, strategies,
race car games the list goes on.
 WE CAN DO ANYTHING!! We need a bunch of developers to kickstart this
project and earn a nice side pocket of money at the same time the "prime"
developers will gather a stake in the business equal to that of their input.
 Ofcourse the games will be relativly cheap per release. They will be highly
competitive games in terms of graphics, style and Sound FX etc. These games
are no little projects. Myself and whoever wants to be well known in the
linux world will establish the masterful Linux OS as the mainstream gamers
platform. IT WILL BE BIG!!!
 I believe there are enough fellow computer nerds (developers, graphic
artists, designers, story writers or anyone of use) to bring this project to
be a major company in the soon to be mainstream, Linux OS.
 I think to myself that in the world of windows, companies like Blizzard�
and IDsoftware� made the big bucks in the up and coming OS of the 80's,
early 90's of course i am talking about MS Windows�. With companies such as
these the competion is very fierce and is very hard for small gaming
companies to crack on to the lucrative market.
With Linux taking a very rapid stamp on the computer market we may as well
get our "foot in the door" first and establish our position as the  major
gaming company of Linux.

 All that said and done if u are interested in making games and you think
you have something to offer a newly forming company then email me with your
ideas and possible positions of developement, artistry or any other
positions i mentioned.

   Thankyou and goodnight.

Hi Guys, I would appreciate any help in this matter, whenever I try to
print from netscape I get the  message
"lpr: cannot open printer description file." and it shows in a window
with the scrolling title
"Netscape: subprocess diagnostics (stdout/stderr).".

Right now when I want to print from the web, I print to the file
netscape.ps and use lpr to print it and it prints fine, or if I want to
print text using enscript it's not a problem either. The problem seems
to be specific to netscape.

Thanks

Thanks, I had a quick look but I still have a few concerns like:
- which chipset is better: 400BX, 400GX+, 440GX AGP etc?
- what are the practical differences between them anyway?

Besides, this page looks a little out-of-date. Does anyone have any more
current information?

You don't say if you want SCSI or IDE.  I like my Seagate STT220000N-MC
very much.  It's a SCSI drive with 10/20 GB per tape.  Works great.  It
cost about $270.

A 2K refresh rate, eh?  Alright, I guess in the absence of further
information I'll try to grab a 2K, 60ns chip, either FPM or EDO (whichever
is cheapest).

I was spooked by everyone saying "you want to add _at_least_ 16MB to this
thing".  ;^>  I figured I better go at least one step up from that to 32MB,
and then while looking at pricewatch.com I saw that 64MB could be had quite
cheap, so I figured since this is a one-time purchase that'll affect the
hard limit of how big a document I can print, so I might as well go for
broke.  

You're right, though -- I'll be printing that same sort of stuff (with the
addition of the occasional big .ps or .pdf manual).  Since I apparently
can't use the cheap 4K refresh 64MB SIMMs, maybe I ought to at least drop
down to 32MB.

Hmm.  Good point.  So what are all these 4K FPM SIMMs intended for?

Interesting.  So EDO would seem to be preferable over FPM.

So how do you go from 1K refresh on the board chips to 2K on the SIMM?  Is
1K just way too old-tech. to be required, or are 2K chips
backwards-compatible with 1K boards?

I've heard of this happening to at least one other person; he solved it
with a BIOS update from the manufacturer IIRC.  Since this is more than
likely a BIOS problem, then passing "mem=192M" to the kernel at boot time
will probably not work... (try it, the worst that can happen is a kernel
panic about 1/4 of the way through the boot process!)  You might also try
disabling any "Memory hole at 16M" or "OS/2 memory model" settings in the
BIOS.  Linux doesn't play well with those (almost always unneccessary)
settings.

If that doesn't help, go to http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml and search
this NG for keyword "13M" for the last 2 weeks.  I think you'll find
something useful....

You fail to realize that Microsoft has a dollar value for everything.
One of their big money making scheme is books. If they were to put valuable
information with the OS there would be no interest for people to buy
Microsoft's books.

What you need on the monitor is the horiz and vert sync rates.  Those
numbers go in when you do xf86config, if the monitor is not listed.  You
will also need to put your video card in.  The combination of this
information should allow some good modelines to be entered in
XF86Config.

Have a look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/modeDB.txt.

If you don't have the file you can get it via ftp from 

ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/X/x/R6.3/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/modeDB.txt

or you can search for it at http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/?form=medium .

There is no special entry for the ADI MicroScan 5A in that file, but
there are a lots of entries for other monitors similar to the ADI 5A.

I tried this today and it doesn't work. You get a panic message and
a crash where I had to unplug the PC since the on off switch on the
Gateway didn't respond.

Caldera 2.3 refuses to recognize the drive and it is impossible to pass
parameters with it. If you start the install with winblows you get
a panic message and crash as with Mandrake.

Slackware worked well until it started to install then bailed out
since none of the hde1 to hde6 existed --> a goof in the install script.

I was not willing to install RedHat 6.0 since it's too old but tried
the promise boot with Mandrake. It refuses to install Mandrake since
it's not RedHat.

I finally got Slackware installed by doing a ide0=0x10e0,0x12d6
(not sure of the exact numbers)

The champ of them all would have been SuSE if I had had enough hard disk
space. I only had 1.8G so it refused to install but it did recognize the
hard disk correctly. It's my work PC so I didn't have that much space for
Linux. I'm annoyed because without Caldera I can't see the novell network.
I had bought Caldera for that novel network support (SHIT!)
Does anyone know if Caldera's netware support would work with Slackware?
I think they have either version 4 or 5 which isn't supported by the
free netware support. I had no problem connecting to the internet thru
the novell network. It was neat, I'm so used to have to reboot everytime
I have to do changes on novell.
It would be nice to be able to share my printer with the other engineers
and be able to access my account on the network server so I wouldn't
have to reboot to winblows too often.

I bought a Compaq dual port network card that has 2 tlan chips on it. I would
like to install it in my Linux box that I'm using as a firewall for my home
lan. I suppose that to do this I will need to compile the tlan module for my
kernel and then create aliases for eth0 and eth1 that both point to the tlan
madule. Is there anything else I need to do? Does the module require any
parameters to tell it which half of the card it should bind to? Thanks.

Nakamichi 7 disk cd changer.  I used Adaptec ISA cards, 152x and the
1542 series.  There is ONE VERY IMPORTANT issue that must be addressed
here.  If you happen to seem to have everything looking like it works,
but doesn't really work;  I found out the hard way...:-(..

The changers will work correctly, but ONLY when the scsi adapter is in
it's factory default settings. Period.  This is true when using the
Adaptec 152x and the 1542 series adapters.  Unkown about any other
adapters.
