All this talk about DOOM in X-windows, and nobody saying anything of
|
|
where it can be obtained?
|
|
|
|
Where is it?
|
|
|
|
Does it run at acceptable speed (I have 50MHz486, 8MB RAM, CLGD5428,

I just downloaded linuxdoom, it is very fast.

Using the shareware version doom1.wad, it seems to be much faster under linux
|

than dos. The problem is I used to play it with the mouse, now I can only

use the keys.

I am runing it in the following enviroment:

I'm running Linux 1.1.49 and attempting to configure it as a router between my
|
|
local Ethernet and my Internet provider. I've posted on this before but maybe I
|
|
posted it in the wrong place (in fact, I'm almost sure I did!)
|

|
|
After booting Linux, my Windows box can access Linux w/o problems
|
|
Confirmed that CONFIG_IP_FORWARDING is defined in kernel
|
|
After starting PPP
|
|
routing tables are updated, default route = term server
|
|
Linux can access the net w/o problems using the default route
|
|
Internet hosts can access Linux w/o problems
|
|
However, neither local or internet hosts can access a machine on the
|
|
far side of the Linux box being used as a router.
|
|
I can see the incomming packets being counted in /proc/net/dev, but I
|
|
never see packets being sent out the other interface.
|
|
|
|
I've tried to reach the linux-activists mailing list without success, and for
|
|
some reason I cannot subscribe to comp.os.linux.help even though my news server
|
|
is supposed to have the group. So this seems to be my last resort.
|
|
|
|
Would someone running as near to an identical configuration as this PLEASE
|
|
email me as to how their system is configured. If I can't get this resolved in
|
|
short order, I'm going to have to trash Linux and look for another routing
|
|
solution. (And to think I was so impressed with Linux to begin with.... Well...
|
|
I still am... BUT THIS IS FRUSTRATING!). Additional information on my
|
|
configuration by email only. I'll post the solution if it seems to be of
|

general interest.

I'm thinking of upgrading my video card to a VRAM based PCI card. I'm looking
|
|
at possibly getting the new Matrox Impression 2+, which is a bit
|
|
expensive but has some built-in 3D capability and a socket to add a
|
|
motion video decompression chip.
|
|
|
|
Is there any Linux support for this card or other Matrox cards? (No need
|
|
to support the 3D stuff or the video decompression... I just want to be
|
|
able to run X on it).
|
|
|
|
Failing that, what Linux-supported PCI video cards would folks
|
|
recommend?

Go and get "andrew" from sunsite. It's wysiwyg, it's good, it's fast, and it's
|
|
for free.
|
|
|
|
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/X11/andrew/...
|
|
|
|
The package is divided into several parts. You need at least the basic part
|
|
"auis63L1-wp.tgz" which is the wordprocessing stuff (and is unfortunately
|
|
20k to big to fit on a single disk).

Yeah, it is my setting problem; linuxxdoom flies after I commented out the

Several people have responded to my original question:
|
|
|
|
What split window / multi-window management tools are out there for
|
|
dumb terminals for starting several tasks with their output sent
|
|
to a seperate scrolling window. I'd prefer support for up to 3 windows
|
|
being managed.
|
|
|
|
The answers were:
|
|
|
|
BSD's: window tool; window.tar.Z on many BSD archives. Unfortunatly it's
|
|
a hack to get this to compile and actually run on SVSV.
|
|
|
|
Has anybody ported BSD's window to SYSV, SVR4.2??
|
|
|
|
Splitvt; The latest version is 1.5.6 on unix.hensa.ac.uk in the Linux,
|
|
terminal stuff dir; splitvt-1.5.6.tgz
|
|
|
|
The above tool is supposed to manage 2 windows (split)... I've yet to
|
|
attempt to unpack and compile on SVR4 so no insights yet.
|

Any other suggestions?

OK, I decided to checkout the competition. I see TIA is only

supported on 386bsd, bsdi, spark.solaris, and spark.sunos. So
|
|
even if I wanted to I couldn't buy your program. Anyways I'm

sure I'll have the linuxxdoom binary patched for term support
|
|
by the end of this week. (Although a recompiled version would
|
|
be alot better.) So you term users, get your practice
|
|
now. Anyways, I haven't tried TIA so don't take this as an
|
|
endorsement, or an anti-endorsement... If they ever do a
|
|
TitanOS port, I'd love to give it a spin and see if by interphasing

to the SLIP/PPP driver they have bypassed any of the problems that

have been driving me crazy.

Try pressing '-'. You probably just expanded the view window to

the maximum size; you could have done this in DOS too.

Hi !
|
|
|
|
Just to add my point of view (as a very satisfied WPWin-user) to this threat:
|
|
|
|
- I would love to see WP for Linux at a reasonable price
|
|
|
|
- Since most of the Linux-boxes are stand-alone PC's, a non-network version would
|
|
be sufficient.
|
|
|
|
- In todays world, not only sales are important but also the percentage of the
|
|
market (sp ?). It should be in Novells/WordPerfects intention to spread as much
|
|
versions of WP in the market as possible (I mean selling at reasonable price -
|
|
- not giving away for free ). One big advantage of WP visa MS-Word is IMHO the
|
|
availability of WP on different platforms.
|
|
|
|
My conclusion:
|
|
|
|
Novell should make a Linux-only, no-network version of WP available at a price
|
|
comparable to a DOS/Windows version (including students discounts). The Linux
|
|
community could profit by getting more acceptance for Linux because of a native
|
|
port of WP. And Novell/WP could profit by aquiring a new, relativly closed
|
|
market with no competitor at all. And it would increase the Unix-based
|
|
WP-user-base as well (esp. if Linux gets ported to other platforms like MIPS,
|
|
Alpha, PowerPC, 68x00, ...).
|
|
|
|
Any Opinions ?

Hey, I run Linux on a 386SX/16 with only 2 Megs of RAM. But I have to admit, I
|
|
had to add 4 Megs for the install (I got a kernel panic with only 2 Megs).
|
|
|
|
But after installing LST 1.8, I remove the 4 Megs again and it works (and swaps
|
|
:-) perfectly !

See my posting in comp.linux.admin. The reason youneed a window manager
|
|
is probably color reservation and management since doom grabs most of the
|
|
available colors.

Or simply remap the meta/special keys in the window manager of your choice.
|
|
I believe the setup file is in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults

I have two written legal opinions that since the GPL licenses
|
|
everyone to use the software, your software would only be distributed to
|
|
licensed users of all the GPLd code. Therefore, you have nothing to worry
|
|
about.

It has one : alt.games.doom
