|
|

A new version of Linux Doom has appeared on sunsite.unc.edu in
|
|
/pub/Linux/Incoming/linxdoom.tgz. This version has pixel doubling
|
|
and tripling fixed! Pixel doubling is even playably fast on a 486/66 VLB.
|
|
The problem was apparently an endianness thing.
|
|
|
|
From the README:

Isn't "gn" the server? I think you still need to run a Gopher client to

look at the data.

I have one that's working here (ET4000 with 17'' AOC monitor), but it

not find out how to make it bigger vertically. Perhaps someone else

btw: Could it be that fvwm gets confused with this resolution? It

seems not to scroll correctly in the vertical direction.

This is strange. With tracker 3.x I had no problems with my PAStudio 16.
|
|
With tracker 4.3 I had much more improved sound but got the "DMA timed
|
|
out ..." error message as soon as there were disk activities, so I
|
|
suspect an inkompatibility with my AHA1542B.
|
|
|
|
Surprisingly sound works perfect under Linux-Doom. (But not under DOS-Doom)

I think as a general rule, when there are no complaints about breaking
|
|
this or that, then also a non hacker could give it a try.
|
|
|
|
And to answer your question, I haven't noticed any problems, but then
|
|
again, I have quiet standard hardware and haven't stressed the kernel
|
|
that much, so this can't be the ultimate answer.

I also have an HP Deskjet 520, and there is support available for
|
|
dvi & postcript files as well as djscript for text files.
|
|
|
|
The first problem mention in the origional posting of no CR if fixed by
|
|
the following input filter.
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
# Filter for HP printers to treat LF as CRLF
|
|
# the ``echo -ne'' assumes that /bin/sh is really bash
|
|
echo -ne \\033\&k2G
|
|
/usr/bin/cat
|
|
echo -ne \\f
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
|
|
With the above filter text files will print correctly.
|
|
|
|
If however you want to do some formating etc. then the djscript
|
|
file mentioned above is excelent. It is available at sunsite.unc.edu
|
|
in the /pub/linux/system/Printing directory.
|
|
|
|
Postscript support is provided by the dj500 device in the
|
|
standard ghostscript distribution. I use the following
|
|
filter for ps
|
|
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
/usr/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=djet500 -r300x300 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- -
|
|
===================================================================
|
|
|
|
DVI support is provided by a program called dvidj500, which is
|
|
also available at sunsite in /pub/linux/apps/tex/.
|
|
|
|
The printing HOWTO also provides excelent information osnf the setting
|
|
up of printcap files & filters, and is well worth obtaining.

I seriously doupt that your monitor can handle that kind of
|
|
refresh-rates.. Te above modedb-entry would mean a refresh-rate of
|
|
250Hz!!! I tried to make a 320x200 too, and the closest I got was
|
|
500x400 with a refresh-rate of 100Hz.

*Ahem* First of all, this question should have been posted to
|
|
AN X GROUP, such as comp.x-windows.help or somesuch. But I feel generous
|
|
today...I don't know why.
|
|
From my .Xdefaults file: Seyon.dialDelay: 1
|
|
Note that Seyon is capitalised, then a dot seperates it from the
|
|
option, then a colon for the field variable. All X toolkit resources
|
|
(that I've seen) work with this syntax.
