Re: Mandrake 8.1 and X
Hi all! Peter was right. I found the 1152 resolution under Expert Mode. Something that bothers me still is the fact that I wasn't able to get the same refresh rates as in Windows (my monitor OSD shows the horizontal sync and refresh being used) for that resolution. Any ideas? Thanks, C. --- Cidadão Dorense [EMAIL PROTECTED] escreveu: Thanks Peter! I'll try the Expert Mode tonight.

I'm currently running Mdk 8.1 in a Dell machine with a ATI (MACH 64) video card and a P990 Monitor. Mdk upon istallation doesn't present me with an 1152x864 resolution option; it jumps from 1024x768 to 1280x1024. It will probably offer 1152x864 if you click Expert Mode and then Show All in Mandrake Control Centre. The 1152 option is the best resolution for me, since the 1280 one flickers a little bit. I used 1152 for a long time in Caldera OL. Well, observing the list I got to know the XFree86 -configure option and tryied that as root, saving the file to /root/XF86Config. Then, I tryied XFree86 -xf86configfile /root/XF86Config and it brought up X in the desired resolution, although no Window Manager came up, just raw X. Save your working XF86Config or XF86Config-4 to *.save and keep them in /etc/X11. Then, if I reboot, it doesn't go in runlevel 5 anymore, the logs telling that /root/XF86Config contain errors (??). How did the default boot got pointed to /root/XF86Config if I only tested it with the -xf86configfile option? Also, the Mandrake generated XF86Config file contain modelines for the monitor; since X release 4+ doesn't require that, I tryied to remove those lines but it complains. And in /etc/X11 there are XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files. Caldera used the -4 file, where Mdk seems to be using the one without the -4... This is a lot disturbing. If you're using XFree3 Mandrake will use /etc/X11/XF86Config. If you're using XFree4 Mandrake will use /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Can anyone help?

continuing xscreensaver goofiness
morning! i've had another little screen/keyboard/mouse lock while running xscreensaver-4.0 with direct rendering enabled. i've encountered this kind of thing before, when the extrusion hack would break things. at least it was kind enough to leave its locked image on the screen, so i could readily disable it. problem now is that the screen is blank when the thing dies (machine continues to operate perfectly well, and it does not seem to have anything to do with the daily crom run, as we had suspected, in that this time it happened several hours after the cron run), it leaves the screen blank. so the next guess is that it's a particular module. there are no errors in any logfiles i can find. so now i need to come up with a way to log the activity of xscreensaver itself, as it cycles through the modules. nothing i've tried works. ideas? i tried to email jamie directly about this, but the mail doesn't get accepted on the other end, probably because i'm doing the drippingwithirony smtp here, but incoming is hosted elsewhere. -- dep There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land; But the People in their weeping Bare the iron hand; Beware the People weeping When they bare the iron hand. ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

OT MS product placement
Just to give you some idea of the power of MS to get its story out and the attitude of businessmen towards us little people. The Wall Street Journal has been a vocal critic, on its editorial page, of the efforts to rein in Microsoft's attempt to monopolize the cyber world. Now comes an editorial on the globalization of service work. I include four quotes, two about MS, and two about how the WJS sees the golden future for us all. Thanks largely to the fact that a decent education, Microsoft Office, and the Internet are all as useful in Manila as in Minneapolis, the service sector has gone mobile. and Look at what happened in the last great era of globalization, before World War I, when steamships and railroads made it much easier for laborers to migrate and commodities to flow. From 1870 to 1914, real wages in Ireland and Italy shot up by as much as one-third while they dropped 8% in the U.S. (My comment: Boy, those stupid nativists.) and The stunning success of the U.S. tech-powered boom in the 1990s drew some 500,000 highly skilled H1-B visa holders from around the world and helped establish international business norms. (My note: They didn't import 500,000 lawyers.) and Want to talk to someone in Sofia about a new business venture? Well it helps that you can email each other Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint documents,... Such a shameless plugging of a proprietary product is really distasteful. I suppose it will have a powerful subliminal effect on businessmen and other decision makers. Equally distasteful is the vision of the golden world to come, where American citizens will work for less but will have the satisfaction of using microsoft software.

(My note: They didn't import 500,000 lawyers.) Yeah, the H1-B's worked cheap, while the highly skilled, highly paid US workers went unemployed. and Want to talk to someone in Sofia about a new business venture?

Equally distasteful is the vision of the golden world to come, where American citizens will work for less but will have the satisfaction of using microsoft software. Well for those who haven't been living under a rock for the past 2 years, US workers will have to take wage cuts so companies can send more money to M$ to pay for all the subscription licenses they can't do business without.
