Ah. Having tried enough things, I see that Gene was totally right
after all. The interaction between pixel depth and supported dotclock
runs just as he said: the limitation is pretty close to
1152x864x16, again just as he said.
Curses. Well, maybe I can get just a BIT closer to 1280x900...
1600x1200 is Right Out.
I'll play around a bit more. Anyways, thanks for the education.

Probably not the right group to ask this in - anyway -
Can anyone recommend a Linux ISP in MA - where I can find a list of Linux
ISP's?
TIA

Thank you, Alex.
That's the direction I'm currently focusing on.
There seems to be several processes per
certain users that only hang around until
some sort of timeout is reached.
At that point a PROTERR is declared
and if there are enough "connection reset by peer"
messages around, the system halts.
I was just hailing for advice on how to
tackle this problem.

You might want to look at this. I had to fix that header file when I built
qt-2.3.0 on Solaris.

Thanks for your advice. I got the advice in another group to recompile the
kernel with ide-scsi module integrated and that did it. Both the SCSI-card,
scanner and CDRW is now described at bootup as:
CSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
Configuring Adaptec (SCSI-ID 7) at IO:130, IRQ 10, DMA priority 7
scsi0 : Adaptec 1542
Vendor: SCANNER Model: Rev: 1.00
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 01 CCS
scsi1 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: PHILIPS Model: CDD3610 CD-R/RW Rev: 3.01
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 6x/6x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
Detected scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0, type 6
The scanner and CDRW as CDrom works, but XCDRoast can not burn CDRs, as
when I access that option the mouse pointer turns into a clock that never
stops and after killing the program I get lockups. CD-Record also gives
lockups but first after a completed write.
Yes, I have a symbolic link cdrom scd0.
I have used Warp for soon six years now and it is very nice, but it is some
problems with Netscape updates, which makes me to use Linux. Actually, I
find myself to be more and more in Linux these days.
Sincerely Yours
Roger

I begain my OpenLinux saga with 1.3 a few years ago. It was quite a
handful to get installed and getting it to support the cutting-edge
hard ware of the time was quite troublesome... I gave up... and stayed
with what I was earning my money from, OS/2.
Then a while later Caldera released Open Linux 2.30... and things have
never been brighter. Open Linux 2.40 is even better.
Give it a try, you'll like it.
The nicest thing about Caldera, they only release reliable distributions with
tried and true applications. Compilers that work, desktops that load... etc.
