gday
I have a SiS6326 video card, and have recently installed RH6.0. I have
everything working so far, except that (i think) there is a problem with
my video card. In x-windows, when you type text, some of the characters
do not appear until you refresh the screen. Also, when you move windows
they leave streaks across the screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem??
thanks

How do you try to play these things? When you say you hear CDs are you
using workbone or something? These send the audio signal straight to
the speakers from the CD, the program just does the equivalent of punching
buttons on the front panel (I'm hope I'm telling the truth here, never
actually looked at the code). Depending on the type of audio file you
have, you could try catting it directly to /dev/audio or /dev/dsp. (I
have a sound snippet of Linus Torvalds saying how he pronounces Linux in
Swedish, called swedish.au, I can hear it by entering the command
'cat swedish.au > /dev/audio', however that's because it happens to be in
the right format. Typically you need a player, like wavplay for WAV
format files, and you probably want a mixer to set volumes, like xmix,
(the simplest of these is a program called volume that runs on the command
line, doesn't need X Window.) Check the Linux Sound HOWTO for more info,
and be sure to compile sound into your kernel, depending on the kind of
sound card you have. Just because you can play an audio CD doesn't mean
you have real sound support.

Subject: Getting an eicon diva ta isdn modem working
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 09:08:34 +0100
Hello
I have recently purchased a eicon diva ta isdn modem in order to speed
up through put for our dial up email off our ISP.
I managed to get our old US robotics working without too much of a
problem, but following the HOWTOs I can't get things to work quite
right.
eicon recommend that in minicom you create a connection to another
serial port. In my case com1 is cua0 and com2 is cua1. cua1 is occupied
by our old modem.
I set up the connection to /dev/cua0. I also followed the instructions
from eicon where it said to remove the modem initialisation string ???
which I did, saved the config and tried to run at commands to the
modem. it started to work ok but now it comes up with an error.
As we use RH5.2 I also replicated the serial port settings in linuxcfg,
i.e. created another ppp setup for the ISDN modem so I now have ppp0 for
the old modem and ppp1 for the isdn modem but I can't see the ppp1 when
I check the available networks ??
Any info on setting this up would be greatly appreciated.

It would appear that you've tried to re-invent the wheel, the hard way.
There already exists a perfectly good binary executable named fromdos
that does exactly what you want.
fromdos < dostextfile > unixtextfile
All it does is convert any 13,10 combinations to 10. If no 13,10
combinations exist (the file is already in unix format) the outputfile
is identical to the inputfile.
The program todos does just the reverse.
Both are included in Slackware's aaa_base.tgz package, and should reside
in /usr/bin

You are wrong; clock() has microsecond resolution. Just RTFM:
... to get the number of seconds used, divide by
CLOCKS_PER_SEC
CLOCKS_PER_SEC is defined by ISO/IEC 9899:1990 7.12.1:
The macro `CLOCKS_PER_SEC' is the number per second of the
value returned by the `clock' function.
and CAE XSH, Issue 4, Version 2:
The value of CLOCKS_PER_SEC is required to be 1 million on
all XSI-conformant systems.
So the time returned by clock() is in us, but that does not mean that
you really get this resolution on your system - since there are only
100 ticks per sec on standard Linux you should not expect to get
anything better than 10ms.
But 10ms is still much less than seconds :-)

Similarly, xargs is a good tool to use in conjunction with find - piping
the results of find through xargs and then onto whatever utility you have
which takes multiple files (such as grep) allows much more efficiency, as
the utility isn't executed separately for every single matched file.

These questions of which distro is best pop up all the time. Since
I just struggled with Debian 2.1 I'm inclined to put in my 2 cents worth.
Debian is impressive in its way, which is why I've probably allowed myself
more frustration with it than I would have with anything else. I've gotten
maybe 3 distributions over the years, and it seems like I'll get 90 percent
of the way to a system like I want, and then get frustrated with that last
bit. It's different things at different times, but then I go back to
slackware and it's like I've come home again. In slack I feel like I know
what I'm doing and what the system is doing. I try downloading a software
package like say a newer ghostscript and building it, oops, need a newer
zlib, OK, download that, put it in, build it, oops, need something else, so
I get it, finally I've got the thing working. Some people may not like that,
but for me, in the long run, it ends up being less grief. Probably getting
rid of cruft as you upgrade is harder in slackware though. When I upgrade,
I usually build a second system on a 2nd set of partitions, keeping only
/home,/tmp and the swap partitions as shared between them, and for awhile,
I'll have my 'unstable' newer system and fall back on the reliable one, till
I'm ready to switch over completely, and leave my cruft behind. That implies
having plenty of disk real estate, but I recently bought a new 3.2 Gig drive
for $100, half what I would've paid only a couple of years ago, and a couple
of years before that, a 1.2 gig drive was considered big.
To each their own.

Primarily in allocating space for inode structures and spare
super-blocks. You can tune this, to give you back more space, but
you will need to rebuild the filesystem to do that.
In particular you'll need to tinker with the -i parameter to mke2fs which
controls the bytes-per-inode calculation. According to mke2fs(8) this
defaults to 4096. You might try doubling or tripling that. This will
reduce the number of files that can be created in the filesystem, but this
will likely not be an issue unless you're trying to use this filesystem
for a Usenet news spool where each article takes up one filename/inode.
You can also gain back more space by tinkering with the size used for the
-b (block size) parameter and -m (reserved-blocks-percentage) parameter.
You might try changing the allocation for -m from the default of 5% to 1%.
Before you make any changes, make note of how many inodes are
allocated to the filesystem by doing a "df -i". After you've rebuilt
the filesystem with new parameters, do both a regular df and "df -i"
to see the differences.
Be sure to read over the man page for mke2fs(8) before you do anything
though.

Have a look at gettimeofday() (man 2 gettimeofday). I'm sure that
it will give you at least tick (i.e. 10 milliseconds) resolution,
but I believe it actually goes down to microseconds.
Hope this helps

One thing they didn't seem to make clear was whether they took the best
performance over all the optimiziation levels listed in parentheses or
what. At least in pgcc, the '-fomit-frame-pointer' doesn't get turned on
till around -O5, and this is one of the biggest optimizations you can
make.

cannot execute /etc/X11/prefdm I guess.
/etc/X11/prefdm is a link to:

I guess you did something wrong with your X upgrade. Check

Hi there,
I wanna install Linux on my system, but I'm not sure what ip-addresses I
should use for various tasks on my system.
In the end I'd like to run the following services (all on the SAME pc):
- FTP
- Telnet
- HTTP access (via other W95 machine)
- dhcpd (so I won't have to setup W95 with an ip-address
- DNS
First: CAN it be done?
Second: can ftp, telnet and http all be running via the same ip-addres?
(is it possible to give ftp telnet separate ip-addresses?)
-> I've set it up, but either http works, OR telnet and ftp work. Never all
3 together(?)
Furthermore, When installing dns and dhcpd I've read somewhere that a
'gateway' must be configured. Is this just my main ip-address?
AND (last one, here) there also needs to be configured a router (routed).
Does this also have a ip-address of its own?
Questions, questions... but very imortant to me.
I hope you find this mail intriguing enough to respond to. You're doing me a
great favour.
Kind regards,
Marcel Post

This is not a simple solution but it should work if all else fails. Run
install again, choose upgrade, don't choose any packages, once you get
through the install script it will reinstall lilo for you and if you're
lucky it will detect all OSs. At the very least you will be able to boot to
Linux. Then you can add BeOS to lilo.conf.

Subject: Associating Mime types in KDE
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 09:00:34 GMT
Hi,
I'm running KDE 1.1 under SuSE with a 2.2.5 kernel. As I've just recently
got my SBLive card working, I'm discovering the joys of x11amp, but can't
figure out how to associate an MP3 file or M3U file with x11amp itself.
If I edit the X-MP3 type in /opt/kde/share/mimelnk (or whatever) I find
that x11amp is not listed on the default application list. How can I
accomplish this seemingly simple task? Thanks in advance

I have never seen this before except for the very first boot after installing.

Since you dont have an email address listed, I hope you get this..
linuxppc.org has a 600 meg raw ISO file you can download, or you can
order the CD for $38 including shipping,
watch out though, these nuts double charged my credit card, once in
April and another time in May and I only ordered
1 CD in March..
