The Xterminals are capable of handling the windowing capability. The Xterminals broadcast an XDMCP when booted. The Linux machine responds with a (willing to manage) message. Currently, the Linux machines respond to it BUT the windows are managed by the Linux machine. As one can guess, once many Xterminals are served by a single Linux machine, it is soon overwhelmed. I am running Xfree 2.1 , Slackware 1.2 with Kernel 1.1.13 The window manager used is fvwm. How do I get the Linux machine to respond to the XDMCP, but let the Xterminals manage their windows ? Is this even possible ? I have seen it work with a SUN running Openlook / SunOS. I have tried changing the Xaccess and Xserver files in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/xdm directory but cannot figure it out.

This is supposed to be set up and work "out of the box", but it doesn't. I otherwise have a fully working system, and except for the fact that the installation instructions in the manual are only loosely correlated with the actual install script, the installation went smoothly. I have gotten all the errata sheets and made the fixes, except for the item which talks about the wrong path for the inet daemon. I fixed the rc.net file so that my machine name is set correctly from the /etc/hostname file. I'm not sure if this is what the errata sheets meant. I don't know squat about configuring smail and uucp, but as far as I have tracked it down: 1. The uux process is called every 10 minutes and puts a note in it's log file /usr/spool/uucp/.Log which says "no work". 2. The sendmail process puts messages that I send to internet addresses into /usr/spool/smail/msglog with each message having the note "DNS BIND failure unkown address", or something like that. 3. I don't have a network card. 4. Under the control-panel setup for UUCP, the yggdrasil entry has a phone number of "32", this can't be correct. Well, I'm stumped, any help would be appreciated. I've sent a couple of email messages to yggdrasil, but I haven't gotten any replies.

There really : isn't any speed difference between them anymore. You'll hear people : scream that when they updated to SCSI, things got faster. But, they're : probably comparing an older IDE drive with a new VLB SCSI card. I : recently added a SCSI drive. I now have a 500MB IDE drive, and a 1GB : SCSI-2 drive. I have a SCSI-2 ISA controller, and enhanced IDE : controller. The SCSI drive has a faster spin rate, lower access time, : higher transfer rate (it's newer), but the IDE drive outperforms the : SCSI drive by about 150K/sec. Is that a decent SCSI card? My ISA SCSI card only gets me about 1800k per second but thats because I have a cheapo one. I tried my drive on a good one and got 5000kps.. (I have DEC 1.6 GB SCSI-2) that's non F/W. Sure Enhanced IDE is quite a bit faster than standard IDE. But there is quite a bit of jury-rigging the card, drive, and softwares have to do to put that together. Many problems occur with Enhanced IDE, as IDE actually has a limit of 512MB size partitions (i believe that is the number) A couple of my friends who went Enhanced IDE and now regret it. They've had problems with managing their partitions. (this is on large GB drives). Everyone talks about the new Enhanced IDE but no one mentions SCSI-3.. If you really want to scream.... go SCSI-3. : However, if you want to have more than 2 hard drives, or a CD-ROM, go : SCSI. Keep in mind, that most SCSI cards have BIOS on them that scan : the drive chain everytime you reboot (which is necessary for SCSI HDs). : It usually takes 5-30 seconds for the card to do this, and you're : sitting there waiting the whole time. If you're using DOS, you'll need : to load several device drivers to ASPI, int 13, CAM, etc support eating : up conventional memory. That is just not true. My SCSI reads my chain in less than 2 seconds. My mouse takes longer to initialize. It is not necessary to run ANY device drivers. They are optional. As are many Enhanced IDE DOS drivers. BIOS is not usually required to be enabled if you are not using DOS as other OS's many times have drivers specifically written for each card. (as in the case of Linux) If you decide for SCSI, I'll recommend not cheaping out on the host adapter.. makes a big difference even for ISA boards.. If you got VLB go for it. : I bought SCSI for the CD-ROM, and disabled the bios on the card. I : purchased a SCSI hd because I thought they were faster for multitasking. : This hasn't proved to be so. A CD-ROM is a CD-ROM.. I don't see how a CD-ROM with access times of 300-350 ms and transfer rates of 500kb/s can hardly be much faster depending on the type of bus, SCSI or IDE.. Use your head. Anyways, I doubt your going to get many answers..

For example, my favourite editor (ez) uses as default the font -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 for typesetting text. XFree86 2.1 supplied the font -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-74-iso8859-1 in stead, which I have installed in *.pcf.Z format. XFree86 3.1 in contrast scales the font -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1, which I have in *.pfa format (from Adobe Type Manager), to the appropriate size. In principle, of course, it is just fine that X now shows exactly the right font (better WYSIWYG with ez). [Somehow the font specification above seems to be uniquely defined in spite of all the wildcard characters. I don't know too much about fonts in X.] The problem is the fact that it now takes quite a long time for (e.g.) ez to come up the first time, because the scaling of the fonts requires lots of cpu resources (in fact, I can't even move my mouse cursor as long X is scaling the fonts on my i486DX33 ...). And, even worse, when I close ez and restart it later, X has to do all the scaling again. Now my questions: 1) Is it true that font scaling has changed with XFree86 3.x (or X11R6), or was there just a problem in my font setup before? 2) Is it possible to tell X to scale the most frequently used PS fonts when X is started and keep them in memory even when there are no applications using them.

Hoffman) Subject: [TERM] Some ideas Date: Fri, 7 Oct 1994 13:30:39 GMT I finally set up term. I like it a lot. I've also set things up now that I just type "rxvt" at the prompt, and I get a login shell, automatically. Likewise for the other clients. For those who are interested, here's what I did: The hardest part is writing an auto-login routine. The routine has to deal with (at least on my site) busy modems, modems that don't answer, modems that answer but don't work, rlogin commands from an annex box that report "no pty's, try again" etc. I decided to use a kermit script. The problem is that even kermit's advanced scripting commands aren't enough. So I redirected kermit's output to a file and periodically scanned the file for errors or success. Alas, this trick means that I can't use "script" in kermit (because for some reason the output of script never makes it to the log file), only "input." At any rate, the general idea is to write a script that starts kermit in the background, noting its PID. That script than scans the kermit output file for any possible errors (BUSY, NO CARRIER, ERROR) until it finds CONNECT. If it finds CONNECT, it exits. Other similar sections scan for subsequent login errors (no pty's) until a successful login is achieved. Here's what I think is the novel part of my setup. I put all of my term binaries in a special directory. They never get run directly. Rather, I wrote a short shell-script term.any, which I linked to all of the binaries. Term.any checks to see if a term connection is already up. If it is, it just runs the binary associated with $0. If it's not up, it starts a term connection. I use another directory to coordination this activity, with files term.is.up, term.is.working or nothing to indicate the status of term. Now I can just type "rxvt" and get a shell, no matter what. Likewise, I can use "tfinger" whenever I please.
