XF86Config question
My questions are at the end of this letter. Most of this letter can be skipped. Well, finally the last windows computer in the house was taken down. It just kept crashing. Now, my wife uses a linux box and accesses my server via the miracle of X remote sessions. The server lets her run windows via win4lin. Works fine if you run windows in a window and not full screen (with full screen the thang crashes when certain pop up ads appear in aol and freezes the computer. A reboot takes about 90 minutes.) The tuff part was configuring XF86Config, since the setup program in Redhat 7.1 decided to stop working and I had to configure XF86Config by hand (gasp). It is really not bad except for: All those comments. You can't see the information because of all the helpful advice cluttering up the file. All those comments can be removed, making the file seem much more manageable. However, the really confusing part is the redundancy. In the XF86Config file originally installed there were multiple monitor, video device and screen sections. How is a fellow supposed to know which of these many sections is the one used his hardware uses (my video card and monitor) and how does one know which screen section will be used? I solved my problem by getting rid of everything but one monitor section, one video device section, and two screens (they had different drivers and who knows which one I am using!). Then, I just kept trying to startx and used the error messages on the virtual console to tell me were I was going wrong. Trial and error. QUESTION 1: Could someone tell why XF86Config is so redundant and how the computer knows which sections to use? QUESTION 2: Can someone tell me where the log file goes for XFree86 in Redhat 7.1?

How is a fellow supposed to know which of these many sections is the one used his hardware uses (my video card and monitor) and how does one know which screen section will be used? Want to remove all the comments and blank lines? grep -v ^# XF86Config | grep -v ^$ XF86Config.new (isn't regex wonderful?) Now XF86Config.new will have only valid lines (but might be hard to read for that reason). screen section depends on the card chosen. They wanted to cover all bases, it's easier.

QUESTION 1: Could someone tell why XF86Config is so redundant and how the computer knows which sections to use? each lower section depends on stuff above it. The video card, though, is the determining facter. You'll find XFree86-4.2.0 really makes things easier. With it, you can: XFree86 -config it will write a config file you can edit (and it won't have so much junk in it). Normally, you only have to adjust the mouse section. Then you test with: XFree86 -xf86config ./XF86Config (or some such, you'll see the specific command on-screen after you do the config thing above) QUESTION 2: Can someone tell me where the log file goes for XFree86 in Redhat 7.1? unless RH built it differently (and they probably did), /var/log/XFree86.0.log Ciao, David A.

Re: adsl modem directly connected to hub
nah.. I was not ignoring that. why would the technical issues of making the diagram possible be related to business contracts (which is never my interest)? Most of us would attach the adsl-modem to a PC/router, then connect workstations to the PC/router. We don't connect the adsl-modem directly to the hub. The person who suggested me this setup may be making fun of me (a newbie who couldn't have access to all the manuals. My ISP didn' give me the manual for the NEC adsl-modem, too). internet | adsl/cable modem | hub -- workstations | server Kevin referenced several cases for ADSL of which you have not replied to.

screen (with full screen the thang crashes when certain pop up ads appear in aol and freezes the computer. A reboot takes about 90 minutes.) why 90 minutes?

That still doesn't explain why it takes 90 minutes. It sounds like your hardware is slow, not the fsck. I've sat through 700GB fscks, and they took roughly 2 hours. 80GB shouldn't take 90 minutes. Even 240GB shouldn't take 90 minutes. And i won't even go into a lecture on why its a horrid idea to have many large files on a ext2 fs. I just hope you are aware that if your MP3 collection was on an xfs filesystem you'd never have to sit through a fsck again, your fs performance would be much better, and you wouldn't be at constant risk of losing everything during an ill-timed power outage.
