I have a matrox g400 dualhead. I am running linux 2.3.99-pre5 with the
necessary modules to get the 2nd head working. The second head works
fine as a console, but I can't get it to work in X11. I'm using Xfree
4.0. I can get X servers started on the individual heads, but when I
try to get Xinerama running, the second head always goes blank when I
start X. The first head acts like it is running in Xinerama mode (i.e.,
I can move the mouse off the right side of the screen, but all tha does
it produce corruption in the mainscreen, and centered dialog boxes
appear half off the screen ), but the 2nd head does nothing.
Has anyone gotten this to work? If so, could someone please let me know
what all has to be done.
Thanks,
Alex

Try looking at the gcc *info* pages a few levels under
"C++ Extensions" - there's some stuff there on linking
when using templates. Don't use 'em myself, so I'm not
sure it's what you need.
BTW - thanks for the Font HOW-TO, It's been extremely

I have two webserver log files each of size ~2GBs. I want to merge them
together into one file, however, most of the solutions I've tried so far
can't handle text files that large. (cat file1 >> file2 for example). I
also tried a quick Python script to do the job, but it also couldn't handle
that large a text file. Do I need to write something in C to accomplish
this or are their some utilities out there I could try?
Thanks for any help/ideas.

Look in /etc/XF86Config I suppose.
You may see entries with stuff like this
Option ``power_saver''
under the Devices section.
And under the Screen section settings like these.
BlankTime 20
StandbyTime 40
SuspendTime 60
OffTime 90
You can either make adjustments to you liking or comment out the
power_saver line to remove the option.
If the blanking is happening at the console then you'll have to
check for setterm settings in your rc.d files or whatever Red Hat uses.

Hi Robie,

Hi,
Of course yes. The windows file system (FAT) is called vfat in linux.
You can access that partition by mounting it to whatever directory you like.
Note: To writing to that partition, you must have the root account. Whilte
read is ok for every users.

Try go to www.rpmfind.net to find it out. Simply search for your
application, and it have a field named as "required". Click on the library
file you want. Then you can find which libraries contains the file you want
(If you are using rpm, you can download the rpm from there).

Look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pppX where pppX is the
correct device and check to see if the line USERCTL=false if it is
set to "false" then change it to "true" this should allow users to
control ppp.

Hi Henry,
I have the same problem twice in the past. I didn't do anything to my
hard disk but one day i boot my computer. It stops at LI also. You need to
re-install your LILO. And i use the following method. Hope it helps.
1) Boot your linux box with the rescue floppies.
2) WHen you get into the ram disk. make a new directory:
mkdir rescue
3) Mount your linux partition on the new created directory:
mount -t ext2 <DEVICE> rescue
note: where device is your linux partition like /dev/hda4. You can always
check it out by typing fdisk -l
4) Create a link in your ram disk called "boot" to the "boot" directory in
your linux partition:
ln -s /rescue/boot /boot
5) Re-install lilo by the following command (I am supposing your lilo is at
/sbin):
/rescue/sbin/lilo -C /rescue/etc/lilo.conf -v
6) After that, reboot your computer. To see it works or not.
It is a stupid method to do so many steps as i think there must be a
more convenience method. Anyway, i fixed my lilo twice by using this method.
Best regards

1. It may be a bug.
2. It may be that the linux writers looked at that bad situation and
decided not to cover it. I sure wouldn't, its a disaster looking for a
place to happen.
The reasons are pretty basic.
a: the tracks laid by that DSQD drive are only about 40% of the width of a
true DSDD 360k drive, meaning there is gonna be huge amounts of noise
from the old data on either side of the new "formatted" track.
b: In addition to double-stepping the heads to make it into a 40 track
drive, a 48 tpi if you will, the spindle speed must be slowed down from
360 to 300 rpm, and the data pump must be switched down from 500
kilobaud to 250 kilobaud.
c: to go along with the spindle speed, data rate changes, the recording
currents applied to the heads should also be reduced IF its a DSDD disk,
something the drive has no sensors to detect, otherwise the heads would
be driven so hard that the recording is actually partially erased by the
excess currant.
Overall, trying to make a 360k diskette in a 1.2 megger will have to
deal with the fact that its probably can only be read in that same
drive, no real 360k drive, with its wider heads, would ever give you an
error free read.
Did I mention its a bad idea? The only snowballs chance of making it
work is if you started with a bulk erased diskette, one erased by one of
those $30 tape erasers they sell at radio shack. You could probably put
that disk in a real 360k drive and read it, but if you ever wrote to it,
and then tried to re-write that same area again in the QD drive, at
least that file would be trashed forever.
Cheers, Gene

I had - i found that using the following somewhat works:
/sbin/ipchains -A input -p udp -j ACCEPT -s 0.0.0.0/0 4000 -d 10.0.0.0/8
1024:65535

$EXT_IP 4000
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -p udp -s 10.0.0.0/8 -d 0.0.0.0/0 4000
Where $EXT_IP is the gateways ip-address on the internet. My problem was
that i run the default input policy is DENY. So it didn't log the responses
from the ICQ-server, since those was sendt to $EXT_IP and NOT my internal

I think the problem is that you are hitting the 2GB filesize limit
present on the Intel Platform.

Present on *some* Intel platforms.
*BSD will allow files up to Terabytes.

Oh yes they should make it easier for developoers. Why is for example
SAP only
supporting Red Hat!! Because they are to lazy to support others. So why
should anyone writing programms make himsely the troubles of supporting
not only one but half a dozen of dirtributions.

"get_info" of "proc_dir_entry structure"
and

Assuming that led_zeppelin.txt contains:
===== CUT HERE ===
Song 1
http://www.blah.org/blah/song1.txt
Song 2
http://www.blah.org/blah/song2.txt
===== CUT HERE ===
awk `
BEGIN { RS = ""
FS = "\n"
}
{ printf "<A HREF=%s>%s</A><BR>\n", $2, $1 }
` led_zeppelin.txt > led_zeppelin.html
The file led_zeppelin.html will contain:
<A HREF=http://www.blah.org/blah/song1.txt>Song 1</A><BR>
<A HREF=http://www.blah.org/blah/song2.txt>Song 2</A><BR>
Just add a header in the BEGIN section and an END section with a footer
and you're done. You can easily modify the main printf statment to format
the output differently if you like.
If the program begins to get big, put it in its own file
(e.g. mkhtml.awk) and call:
awk -f mkhtml.awk led_zeppelin.txt
