Hi, Peter,
I use RedHat 6.2 and XFree 4.0.2 with my Radeon 32 DDR. RH7.1 ships
with XFree 4.0.3, and I haven't installed 4.0.3 yet on my system (it is
sitting on my disk though) so I don't know if it will be any different.
In the xf86config file for 4.0.2 I had to explicitly tell it to use the
Radeon driver.
You could try looking at this document:
http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/ati.html
(It's been a long time since I last read through it, so I don't remember
exactly what XFree says about ATI cards, but I think I remember some
useful information there.)
Hope this helps.
Stephen.

In your program, be sure to

and in your gcc command be sure to link against the library
gcc -o program program.c -lpthread
(that's a lower-case 'L' in '-lpthread'.)
That *should* do it.

Thanks, I solved the problem yesterday (I was aware of this -lpthread
stuff, but thanks anyway), I made a rather ugly hack (if you can call it a
hack :) ), but non the less it worked. But I'm still not sure, if the rest
of my libc is set up correctly... well, suppose I got to figure out the

Subject: expect related in.telnetd problem in linux 6.2
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 11:49:00 -0400
Howdy,
Anyone seen a problem with telnetd terminating in (redhat) linux 6.2
when used by expect?
We've ported our software to linux and in testing it I seem to have
stumbled onto an interesting problem with the os. I use expect to
automate my testing and intermittently I am unable to successfully spawn
a login. Expect gets the login: prompt but never sees the Password:
prompt. Then I see an "invalid spawn id" error, which indicates the
login process has disappeared. Expect_out(buffer) shows absolutely
nothing.
I have tailed /var/log/messages while reproducing this problem and each
time it occurs I see the following:
"Apr 25 14:09:21 cnr-test4-lnx-1 inetd[560]: pid 21466: exit status 1"
Telnetd has PPID 560, so this indicates to me that telnetd is crashing,
which would explain the invalid spawn id error, since the login process
terminates and effectively disappears.
I have tried disabling various authentication libs (cracklib etc) to no
avail.
If anyone can shed any light on the problem, offer advice, or is would
like to chat about using expect to test network software on linux 6.2
I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks much,
Seth Ambrose

Not sure about this. xev might help you to discover what
keysym/keycode (not sure which you need) it generates. ATM I'm on a
Happy Hacking keyboard, with nary an OS-specific feature in sight, so
I can't help you there. You might have to use xmodmap (with its
slightly arcane syntax) or xkeycaps (if you can persuade it to
cooperate) to assign it to a spare keysym/keycode and then assign that
to a useful function.

Sounds like you're using an oldish version of Enlightenment (with the
conf tool that was kind-of replaced with menu options in later
versions). Not sure whether an upgrade would help or not, though.
The session thing seems a bit odd; is there an option to save settings
in the Enlightenment conf tool? I can't remember.

In the version I've got, keyboard shortcuts are in
~/.enlightenment/keybindings.cfg if it exists, otherwise in
/usr/share/enlightenment/config/keybindings.cfg (possible
dist-dependent; try `locate keybindings.cfg'), which you have to
modify by hand (well, with the editor of your choice).
All slightly vague, but perhaps you can use the above as a starting
point and take it from there.

Subject: sending input to serial console
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 16:06:04 +0000 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm using a Livingston Port Master terminal server to create a serial
console server for a bunch of linux machines. I'm using lilo to send the
boot information to the serial console, with these statements in the
lilo.conf:
serial=0,9600n8
append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8"
This mostly works. I get all the boot output on the attached serial line,
but it doesn't allow me to input anything- if I type characters they echo
on the screen (they're transmitted fine), but hitting the tab key, for
example, at the lilo prompt does not pause lilo for input.
Is this normal? Or is there some way to have my input used by the serial
console?
thanks,
jem.

If you understand you correctly, you can do:
:n! otherfile %
This will force vi to read the other file, even if you've changed the
current file; the '%' tells vi that the "next" file after otherfile is the
current file. So when you're finished with otherfile, you can do:
:n
to go back to the original file (now the "next" file). Or, if you changed
otherfile and don't want to save it:
:n!
which again forces vi to go back to the original file.

That will _not_ remove Linux, it just prevents booting it from the
hard disk (it's still usable with a boot floppy). You must remove the
Linux partitions using _Linux_ fdisk (or cfdisk) before clearing the MBR.

You can't do this from outside Emacs: it's Emacs doing the

Well, I've gotten it running... It's not all that easy, as you're finding
out :-)
First things first. What isn't working for you? Dualhead (using two
monitors)? Xinerama (using two monitors as if they're one large display)?
Both?
There are a couple great resources... First is the DRI user's guide. It
has a brief section on the Matrox cards, including a couple notes about
dualhead...

Next is the Linux forum on the Matrox website.

Ah yes. I had the same problem when trying to run kisdn.
Simply fixed by symlinking what *is* there:
$ rm libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
It works fine for me.

NTFS write support is *very* dodgy and will almost certainly trash your

Look at the uid, gid, and umask options on the mount man page in the
ntfs section. For the above permissions, you'd use a umask of '022'.
But again, the filesystem will still be read-only. Leave it that way.
