Why not? Because colors are handled differently at 8 and 16 bpp. 8-bit mode uses a color lookup table. The screen saver writes five bytes out to the card, and boom, the lookup table returns "black" for every color. Screen goes dark. Very simple very easy. 16-bit mode does not use any such lookup table, so to save the screen, I just disabled the CRT controller. Yes, I know, quick and dirty hack. Anyone please feel free to UTSL. >And here's the problem: What if my monitor wouldn't like powersaving >signals? You'll have to pardon me for deleting the FUD in your message. There are no special powersaving signals in this case. When the CRT controller is disabled, no signals go out to the monitor.

I think Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 comes in an ISA version, too. You should be able to find one of these for US$100 to US$130. All these boards are quite happy doing 1024x768ni at 256 colors, with 1M DRAM. Spending extra bucks on the 2M versions (if available) probably isn't worth it because of bandwidth limitations. Under DOS, with unaccelerated drivers, the ISA bus really hurts. Under XFree86 or MS-Windows, it's no big deal; all the drawing operations are done with registers anyway, and you are limited by the 32-bit path from S3-801 to video memory. STB claims a 10 to 30% speed penalty compared to the VLB twin.

You're all gung ho about defending SWT and publicly accusing me of being dishonest in my dealings with SWT, and yet you are unwilling to address the issue of whether or it was dishonest of SWT to write a rubber refund check and then refuse to pay me the charge my bank charged me for depositing a rubber check? Why do you feel that you have the right to make accusations against me, based on only speculation and supposition, but you aren't willing to discuss something that SWT did that was obviously wrong and that they have not disputed doing? Oh, and by the way, why have you still not answered this, which I wrote to you in a posting on October 7: "Bob, are you speaking from the point of view of a satisfied customer of SWT or something more? Are you and Wu acquaintenaces, perhaps, or even friends? You did tell me in E-mail that you are `on reasonably good terms with Marvin Wu.' What exactly does that mean?" |> Have you never bounced a check? Yes, I have. In college, about seven years ago, once or twice, because I forgot to transfer money from savings into checking. I immediately apologized to the payees, paid the fees that were charged to them, paid the fees that were charged to me, and transferred money into the account to cover the checks. Furthermore, my bank was *thought* I've bounced checks a number of times since then (because of errors on their part, not on mine), but rather than refusing to cash them, they've cashed them and charged me a bounce fee, because they know I'm good for the money. Now, let's analyze the differences here: 1) I'm a person, and I bounced personal checks. SWT is a company, and it bounced company checks. 2) I apologized immediately when I bounced checks, before being contacted by the payee, and paid their fees. SWT didn't try to contact me about the bounce, despite the fact that they should have known about it before I did, and didn't offer to pay the bounce fee I was charged (and, in fact, has ignored my repeated E-mail asking for them to pay the fee). 3) My bank pays checks that they think I've bounced, even when they're large, because they know I'm good for the money (I do, after all, have a savings account with them with enough money in it to cover the checks, and I've never written a check I didn't have enough money to cover from my combined accounts), and because they can charge me the $20 bouncing fee even if they pay the check. SWT's bank refused to pay their rubber check (implying, perhaps, that the bank doesn't have faith in their ability to cover it?). 4) The checks I bounced were seven years ago. The checks (plural, because as I've mentioned, over people have told me they've had the same experience with SWT) SWT has bounced are very recent. I might still be angry at SWT about wasting my time and making me pay shipping, but if they had apologized for bouncing the check and offered to pay the $4 charge my bank charged me, my opinion of them would be many notches higher than it is now. |> You needn't answer.

I used Seyon to connect, ran linecheck, updated ~/.term/termrc with correct escape and ignore values on each side, and start term (with the suggested command line options from Term.HOWTO), quit seyon without hanging up, and started term locally (again with suggested command line params including "-r") and tried "trsh" and after pressing returns a few times I get the prompt, I can do a little and then it just stops transmitting for no obvious reason. I can see the send/receive lights flashing on the modem, so the two sides are talking to each other, BUT it is dead. At this point, if I open another window and try trsh again, it doesn't connect to the other term at all and I can just press "^C" to quit the new trsh, but the original trsh is locked. When I close everything down (sometimes echo '00000' > /dev/modem works) and look in the log file on linux I see an error message about "gethostbyname...". On the ultrix side I see nothing or '00000'. Is it possible that linecheck missed something?

But the DX/4-100 *can* be run as a dx/2-- one of its pins (previously a no-connect on other 486's) will select whether the external clock is multipled by 2 or 3, depending on whether it's tied high or low. So, invert the usual state of this pin, up the bus clock to 50MHz, and you should get a substantial performance gain (assuming the rest of the motherboard, in particular the cache SRAMs, can keep up). This selector pin is in the specs, but I've never heard of anyone using it.

What they sell is a REPLACEMENT processor, the DX2/66. You pull your old chip out and plug the DX2-66 in instead.

I guess my only worry is that if someone designs a system with no thought of multi- linguality, this will be hard to graft on later. Bidirectional wordwrap, though not exceedingly complex, is hard to work in after the fact. Input methods for Japanese characters, contextual Arabic forms, and so on also need to be at least given a nod early on. These things don't all need to be implemented. Just taken into the over- all scope of the project so that, for example, someone who's interested (or funded) could see to it that such capabilities were added. Does this make sense? >Linux needs it's own Wordprocessor. Something simple, elegant, and moderately >powerful. And we need it yesterday. > >The question is how to accomplish this? Word processing is a very specialized type of programming, involving all sorts of knowledge that most programmers don't have - in particular how writers in many different fields do their work. Typography is also quite specialized, as are various low-level details such as printer interfaces and drivers, and GUIs. Then there is the problem of coding schemes, such as Unicode. I doubt many technical people have much training in the kinds of considerations that go into the design philosophy of Unicode, or of SGML, for that matter (which should also come into the picture, like it or not). It's no wonder to me that it's been difficult to find anyone to fill this void. There are a lot of us out here who could fill one or another part of the void. We need the technical equivalent of a "Refridgerator" Perry to fill this one, though. -- -Richard L.
