OT: ATI Driver annoucments
Hi people, I just got this, and I thought it should interest ATI graphics card owners. Thanks, Hetz -- Forwarded message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 05-Sep-2007 07:17 Subject: Phoronix Forums: AMD Linux Announcement To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hetz This is an automated message reminding you of your subscription on the Phoronix Forums. We also wanted to let you know that Advanced Micro Devices has officially announced their new Linux driver this morning, which is a overhaul of their existing Linux graphics driver. The AMD fglrx 8.41 (Catalyst 7.9) driver introduces Radeon HD 2000 R600 support as well as massive performance improvements for all supported generations of ATI graphics processors. This new driver is not available today, but it will be made available within the next week. Though at Phoronix we have been using and testing this new driver now for a number of weeks. Below are the articles we have just published today about this new ATI/AMD Linux driver. AMD 8.41 Display Driver Preview -- Our first article on this new driver are simply the technical details such as noting this driver has been actually in development for over a year, the AIGLX support that is coming next month, and other relevant information. Read More: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=10955 ATI R300/400 Linux Performance -- We re-tested the Radeon X300 and X800XL with this new driver and it offers some HUGE performance improvements! The Mobility Radeon X300 was as much as 54 times faster compared to the previous ATI Linux driver. The improvements in these older ATI GPUs are simply astonishing. Read More: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=10964 ATI R500 Linux Performance -- With an X1300PRO, X1800XL, X1800XT, and X1950PRO in hand we compared the ATI 8.40 and 8.41 display drivers. The performance improvements for the Radeon X1000 series range from 50% to 90% faster. Read More: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=10970 ATI Radeon HD 2900XT Linux Performance -- Four months after the Radeon HD 2900XT was introduced there is finally proper Linux support! Not only is there support, but it offers a pretty darn good level of performance. In fact, the ATI Radeon HD 2900XT offers the best bang for the buck when it comes to high-end graphics cards. There is also more on the R600 support in general inside this article. Read More: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=10973 AMD: Accelerating Open-Source Drivers? -- Not today, but in the near future AMD will be making an announcement about accelerating efforts within the open-source community. What does this mean? Open-Source ATI Drivers? We will tell you in due time. Read More: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=10977 At Phoronix we also have a number of other articles we will be publishing in the near future pertaining to this new driver and the Radeon HD 2000 series support.

Re: MSI Laptops under Linux
I considered buying an MSI laptop a while ago and it worths noting that they serve as an OEM for LG. For every model LG have a parallel one. A friend of mine installed some recent version of OpenSUSE on MSI s262 and everything, including WiFi, worked out of the box. But, then again, go figure what SuSE put in there. The reason that I didn't buy it was that apparently Ivory has notoriously bad service. Daniel Feiglin wrote: Daniel Feiglin wrote: Has any one tried running MSI Laptops under Linux?

getting another process id from within a c/cpp program?
hi i want to get another process' pid(s) from withing a program by process name, without executing a ps or pidof command. Is there another way of doing this other than iterating over /proc and reading all the process names? thanks,

Is there another way of doing this other than iterating over /proc and reading all the process names? Probably not. There is no system call, or even C library function, to do this sort of query. So your most portable choice is indeed to run an external ps program. The not-portable way (will work only on Linux) is to look in /proc. This is what the ps program does on Linux, by the way. -- Nadav Har'El| Wednesday, Sep 5 2007, 22 Elul 5767 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Always go to other people's funerals, http://nadav.harel.org.il |otherwise they won't come to yours. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Israel approved Accounting software on Linux
Does anyone have any experience in running some accounting software (one that is approved by the authorities to print invoices) on a Linux? I guess that they all require Windows, so this would be under wine, but still - does anyone have it working?

Re: Israel approved Accounting software on Linux
Drorit software will soon be approved (I hope) and it runs under Linux. It is written in PHP and can actually be run on any operating system supporting PHP.

I am also interested to know if there are other software that work on Linux in this domain. I would like to install Linux in an office, and they might not take my advice for accounting software, so I would like to make sure they have the choice. --y signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: Israel approved Accounting software on Linux
You are right. SF serves now only as CVS for the project and needs to be updated. As for marketing, I have a partner who is much better then me in marketing, however not a marketer, he is a tax advisor and thus gives the professional accounting side. From his opinion (and I agree) we should not do anything regarding selling the software until it is approved. Do not fear, although we are going to sell it, it is GPL and will stay GPL, which means most of the money will be made from supporting and customizing and not direct sale, since one can always download the software from the public CVS. -- Ori Idan On 9/6/07, Hetz Ben Hamo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, On 05/09/07, Ori Idan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Drorit software will soon be approved (I hope) and it runs under Linux.

how to make a processes mem unswappable ?
hi i have a process (vmware running XP) and it runs ok if i alloc 512MB ram to it. however if i allocate a lot of memory to it (2GB out of my 4GB RAM), it runs very slowly. i susspect that the problem is that linux swaps part of it. how can i make this process's memory unpagable and unswappable, i.e. always resident in real mem ? erez.
