XFree4 driver No match
does not make any sense. See http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/savage.4.html
and then install XFree86-4.0.3 on your system.
Since there doesn't appear to be available any XFree86-4.0.3 update RPM's
for RH-7.0, you can do the install by downloading the tarballs and install
scripts from www.xfree86.org or one of its mirrors. Get the installation
instructions first, print them out and then follow them carefully to
perform the installation.
Or, better yet, upgrade to RedHat-7.1.

Thanks for the input.
I'm looking at developing a hand-held controller for an embedded
microprocessor system. The cost of making a custom controller is high,
so I'm looking at using PDA hardware. Looks like there are only two
easy ways to go: Linux+X-term with C coding or the Java KDE on a Palm
or compatible. Both approaches have the advantage of allowing a
standard desktop development environment to be used.

But characters like '�' seem to me to be just as printable as anything
else. I can't imagine a scenario where munging those characters
would improve security. In fact, if I'm editing my exploit file
called 'r��tk�t', the sysadmin will be none the wiser with lsof,

I would agree with you here. I'd classify backspaces, along with
control characters, as "non-printing".

Well, is that what you want? Gates to tell you that you have to buy XP at
$400US for a P4 environment to run your DTP or a Web design? Is that all
for developers to write only server side enhancements for Linux, no GUI
apps? Not me and I think publishers need to make money selling lots Linux
apps to the masses not just to the server and geek market.

But it's _not_ ASCII. Valid ASCII codepoints extend from 0x00 to 0x7f, with the
printable range of codepoints limited to 0x20 through 0x7e. Any codepoint
outside of that range is considered to be unprintable, and only those codepoints
between 0x00 and 0x1f, and codepoint 0x7f are eligable for interpretation as a
print or control escape sequence.
You have a glyph (�) that maps to a codepoint (0xf6) in whatever characterset
_you_ use, but this doesn't guarantee that that glyph maps to *any* codepoint,
let alone *the same* codepoint in another characterset. As for ASCII, it doesn't
have a glyph � and codepoint 0xf6 is outside of it's range of valid codepoints,
so it *can't* map codepoint 0xf6 to glyph �.

one thing that you should do is take the time and go through dselect
and choose what packages you do and don't want. this will tell apt exactly
what to get (such as kde or whatever) and you will know what exactly is

learn a lot about dselect, apt-get, debian, and you system in general.

It's that evil "choice" thing again... Install both and see which you
like more. I prefer KDE, mainly because of Konqueror. Both need plenty
of memory to run smoothly, there are other desktops/window managers
better for small systems.

We've looked at that/are looking at that. We have other apps that need to
mess with mailboxes and so it'd be nice to use something a bit less adhoc
than the dot-locking stuff. Also, in the past we did have occasional
trouble with a daemon dieing [I think it was usually pop3d] and leaving a
lock behind we'd have to seek out and remove by hand... But if necessary I
can throw the config switches on the various servers/daemons and go to
dot-locking. Thanks!

}

[...]
I see the differences and for [our, at least] practical purposes they're
not really significant.. [I can see someone doing database-locking needing
to lock 'regions' of a file [say for one record or one row in a table], and
conversely having a complicated FD/childprocess structure and needing to
pass locks around] but we just have vanilla stuff: process needs to mess
with a file, so it locks it, does its dirty work, and unlocks it. I think
that for those simple requirements, the two methods work out to being
pretty much the same...
} Don't know about linux, but some NFS implementations of file
} locking was, mildly said, unreliable.
Ah, this is a critical consideration --- the primary reason we're switching
to fcntl-locking is precisely so that we can lock over an NFS mount. We
need to separate our file-servers from our services-servers, and that means
that the various locks that the servers [and our assorted admin apps, etc,
etc] need will have to cross the NFS boundary... I've done some tests and
fcntl locking over NFS *seems* to work OK, but I've surely not stress
tested it or anything like that... [this on RH7.1]. do you [or anyone]
know where I can find info/documentation on whether the rpc.lockd stuff is
fairly solid these days [or if not, if the problems are understood and have
workarounds and the like]??

Send back some specs on your machine. Try setting hdparm in rc.local.
Update your dist to a version that supports dma in the kernel for hard
disks. Find some more memory if you can. Add a swap partition if you
haven't.
Just some ideas anyway
