Re: lcd monitors and linux

2003-03-28 Thread Roger Oberholtzer
We have had good luck with NEC 1510 and 1710 displays. They have VESA
mounting, so you can mount them securely anywhere. We use them in a van, so
ambient light plays a big part of this. The NEC seem to be readable in quite
bright conditions. If that is an indication of their contrast ratio or just
the backlighting is anyone's guess. But we do like them. Note that NEC come
out with models right and left, so the 1510 and 1710 may be some new number.
One thing we liked about the 1710 (17) was that it was the same outer
dimensions as the 15 display (1510). There was just less useless plastic
around the LCD.

  the kernel doesn't provide monitor support, X provides that support. 
  But yes, they're supported in XFree86-4.x.  I don't know anything
  about constrast ratios.  I'd think that the maximum resolution would
  be key.
  
 
 X is only concerned with the vertical/horizontal specs and the
 resolution - LCD or standard monitor.
 
 The higher the contrast ratio the better.  As far as I remember, the LCD
 jobs are designed to be operated only at the stated maximum resolution. 
 Any lower resolution will result in poor display quality.  I recommend
 ViewSonic for everything, but I have no actual experience with the LCD
 monitors. After agonizing for months, I decided to get a 19 ViewSonic
 A90f+ monitor ($279) rather than the equivalent size LCD unit ($600++). 
  It's a big improvement over my old 17 monitor.  The diplay is sharper
 at 1280x1024 than may old monitor was at 1024x768.  Of course, I needed
 to increase font sizes for the browser and sylpheed.
 
 YMMV.
 
 Of course, if you have limited desk space, that could tilt the equation.

Hi,
I'm using a Sony X52 with Sco Linux and RedHat. It's a
15 LCD but it's so large than my old 17 CRT. I like
it, it's better for my eyes which are less tired.
Sure, I'll never return to my old crt.

Yep, I agree.  I'm getting a fsck-load of bounces allegedly sent by me
from iwon.com in the states.  It's all porn material (who has time?),
sent by someone running M$ Outhouse (very obviously not me), using my
name, my copyrighted domain name (from mx2.pananix.com -- no such
server), and the e-mail isn't digitally signed.

I'd love to slap a lawsuit on this spammer for:
1.  theft of intellectual property
2.  identity theft
3.  slandering my company name and my name by sending porn in my name
4.  any of a number of other felonies

It all comes out of iwon.com (we're innocent, honest), from IPs that
don't exist (1.0.53.xxx).  I've saved several.  Just waiting.  Need to
find a good lawyer who understands this stuff and won't charge me a
fortune to prosecute this case.  The FBI (think that stands for Fscking
Ball-busting Idiots) don't have a clue.   Maybe if someone started
sending messages out alleging to be FBI agents they'd notice.  They sure
don't take notice of proof of felonious activities. Anyway ...

fun with yaboot

2003-03-28 Thread Aaron Grewell
I've been working on a new box to function as a failover for my spamfilter 
server, and since all the PC's I have handy are junk I grabbed a Blue and 
White G3 that was sitting on a shelf.  It has a pair of 8GB SCSI drives and 
should be fine as a secondary box.  I then set it up with a software RAID-1 
configuration for the root partition so that if a drive failed I wouldn't be 
hosed.  Unfortunately I'm having trouble making the bootloader redundant.  I 
created the necessary partition during installation, made it into a 
bootloader partition afterwards, and installed yaboot into it using ybin.  It 
just doesn't work.  If I unplug the primary drive I get the flashing question 
mark and nothing more.  Anybody else ever tried to do this with yaboot 
before?

Not really any.  Something is amiss with X, however.  I'm using the same 
XF86Config as before, but I'm getting some flicker.  Will have to boot back

Also, Kmail has a minor hitch.  You only get to edit settings once without

Problems with X and OpenGL apps

2003-03-28 Thread davidaikema
I've been trying to do some opengl development on my
laptop (currently running macosx), and run the
resulting executables off of my desktop system.

Anyways, I can ssh into a machine at university,
compile the code there, and then I can run the
programs without any errors.

I'd prefer to be running said software on my desktop
at home, as executing things on a machine at
university tends to be a little laggy at time to time.  

I'm able to ssh into my home system and run xclock,
mozilla, (etc) and I can also compile the software
there and run it locally.  However, when I attempt
to run anything involving opengl I get a
segmentation fault.  

(GDB gives the following info:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4004e554 in __nvsym17122 () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1)

I have an NVidia card in my machine and I'm using
NVidia's drivers.  Am I unable to use these drivers
and still have opengl apps working remotely?

Now, I would like to have both drives installed at the same time and dual
boot this machine.

This seems easy enuf but I can't find any references to dual booting XP and
linux with lilo, which is the boot software in lindows.

Any pointers or references to documentation  appreciated.

Thanks,

Joel

Re: First impressions of a $200 lindows box: Good

2003-03-28 Thread Joel Hammer
Well, I bought a second $200 special. This came unfortunately with a bent
frame, but, it isn't bad enuf to make me send it back.

It runs fine. I bought an extra 512 meg memory (total of 620 megs or so)
for $78. I got $5.00 legal copies of XP pro and microsoft office from my
educational center. They installed fine (but slowly). The only problem
was the audio. This AC97 integrated chip defeated knoppix, too. But, the
motherboard ships with a cdrom with windows drivers for this chip. When
I installed it, I got a warning that MS hadn't approved this software
yet and I might have trouble later on, but I said, what the heck. It plays
great.

So, this $200 computer (with a memory upgrade) seems to be doing fine
with XP pro, too. 

Please see my note about dual booting this baby elsewhere in the list.


Thanks,

Joel

Re: php-nuke

2003-03-28 Thread Myles Green
You could do that Ted, or you could just edit your httpd.conf to reflect
the new document root - although, at this point editing your
httpd.conf file makes more sense.

I'm going through a similar experience with PHPnuke myself, the logs
show the pages are being served but the browser window is blank... and
yes, I did add index.php to the DirectoryIndex directives.

BTW, are you using Apache-2.0.x or Apache-1.3.x ??

 It seems that all the errors that are logged have to do with declared

 strange. Although php-nuke unpacks with /html/~and_other_sub-dirs/
 should I have skipped the /html and placed all of these files in the top
 htdocs directory? What I mean, should all of these have been starting in
 /var/www/htdocs/install.php mainfile.php and all of the subs off of
 ~/htdocs/(includes, images, ~and_whatever_sub-dirs)? I'm sure
 experiencing the NiNe_HoUrS rule here to the power of a dozen

Re: lcd monitors and linux

I'm thinking about getting a lcd monitor. Are these supported

What specs are important and what should I be looking for aside

500:1 be better than 350:1?
Thanks,

Its quite a while since I last looked at the specs and AFAIK that they
are not LCD monitors but TFT. As such they differ in that each pixel
is a transistor making up the whole display. early on they had real trouble
with the burning out of some tranies, giving a 'measels' display and I
did not buy one myself as I needed a 19 display for my 70+ eyes.
They are also reported not to refresh well enough when watching movies.

 I'm using Apache-1.3.x
I wasn't sure what was happening here untill I viewed the error logs.
Perhaps have a look at your httpd.conf again and make sure you haven't
or are not pointing to one of the sub-dirs as all of them contain a
blank index.html. If that is what you are seeing then that would make
sense,

 Hi all,
 
 I have been experiencing some weird behavior of the X display at work for
over
 a year now.  I searched the web and didn't find much about this problem.  I
am
 wondering if it is a configuration issue or a bug in XFree.

WWW development - another good example against M$

2003-03-28 Thread Oliver Ob [o.b./RSi/TRSi/NSD]
Hello folks, 

short time, short go today: I need a web design program for Linux (I use
Suse 7.3 here) which can use the files from NETOBJECTS FUSION 7 (Winsuck)

Explanation for those who are interested:
I ran into installing the NOF 7 pack, and it requires that god-damn Win
Internet Explorer 5.5 - and as I am moving away from Windoze, I will NOT
get that thing. I run Win98 for whatever purposes that Linux is yet 
incapable to deal with, and Windoze98 does only include IE4.7.

Another good example that Windoze sucks major d...!!!

Please, can anyone point me into that direction?
