2003-12-28 Thread Lee Elliott
Hi list, How do I customise the Flap controls now that they seem to be running via nasal? The stuff I did to enforce a single flap setting on the b-52, and to allow four flap postions on other aircraft no longer works - all of the aircraft now seem to have three position flaps (this seems to

Hi, ..you joined the developers list? (FU set to devel.) ;-) OK, I did join. ..in your knoppix remasters, do you get those Nvidia cards autodetected? Yes, for all nvidia cards which are supported by the closed source version the nvidia driver is used, for the other ones (e.g. RIVA 128)

When I did this, I found I had to change three things: 1, this line has to reflect the number of modes you want: mode-count type=int2/mode-count 2, you have to delete the modes that you don't want and 3, you have to renumber the ones that are left. Josh Brian Derr wrote: On Sun, Dec 28, 2003
