Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of
|
|
which groups you should read and post to.
|
|
|
|
Please do not crosspost anything between different groups of the comp.os.linux
|
|
hierarchy. See Matt Welsh's introduction to the hierarchy, posted biweekly to
|
|
comp.os.linux.announce.
|
|
|
|
If you have a question about Linux you should get and read the Linux Frequently
|
|
Asked Questions with Answers list from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/docs, or
|
|
from another Linux FTP site. It is also posted periodically to c.o.l.announce.
|
|
|
|
In particular, read the question `You still haven't answered my question!'
|
|
The FAQ will refer you to the Linux HOWTOs (more detailed descriptions of
|
|
particular topics) found in the HOWTO directory in the same place.
|
|
|
|
Then you should consider posting to comp.os.linux.help - not
|
|
comp.os.linux.misc.
|
|
|
|
Note that X Windows related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix, and
|
|
that non-Linux-specific Unix questions should go to comp.unix.questions.
|
|
Please read the FAQs for these groups before posting - look on rtfm.mit.edu in
|
|
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Intel-Unix-X-faq and .../unix-faq.
|
|
|
|
Only if you have a posting that is not more appropriate for one of the other
|
|
Linux groups - ie it is not a question, not a contribution to the development
|
|
of Linux, not an announcement or bug report and not about system administration
|
|
- should you post to comp.os.linux.misc.

Linux has 'clone'. I'd rephrase it as Linux has multi-threading support that

sort of looks neat but nobody is using it 8)

I run linux on 386SX-33 with 2MB RAM (notebook). Is that weaker

Subject: Problems with ATI GU+ and Linux
|
|
Date: 9 Oct 1994 20:27:08 GMT
|
|
|
|
So far I've had two problems with a recently aquired ATI GU+ VLB card and
|
|
Linux (and I haven't even gotten to X yet). First of all, the card doesn't
|
|
seem to want to support the 100X40 and the 100X32 (or whatever it is) text
|
|
modes. When I use vga=ask in the lilo config file, I'm propted with the
|
|
possiblites of these modes at boot time, but when I select them, the kernel
|
|
just boots into 80X25 mode. 132X25 and 132X44 work ok. The other problem
|
|
is that when I switch between VCs, sometimes the font will get all screwed
|
|
up (parts of letters will be missing, etc). I can reload the font using
|
|
setfont and that will fix it, but after a while when I switch VCs or use
|
|
selection or try to scroll back into video memory, it gets messed up
|
|
again. The card has 2 megs of DRAM, and I have tried it at all combinations
|
|
of the vga memory size option and the memory apature option. I've tried
|
|
raising my wait-states up to 2, and tried changing the bus speed. The
|
|
problem also occures under DOS. I've run norton's video memory tests under
|
|
ndiags, I've run the tests that come with the ATI utilities, both pass
|
|
without any problems. I have an AMD 486DX450 CPU, VLB motherboard, Biotec
|
|
chipset, AMI bios, 16 megs of RAM. The ATI has a RAMDAC of 68875BFN, 2 megs
|
|
of 60ns DRAM, and the Mach 32 chipset. If anyone has any ideas, please email
|
|
me. Thanks.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that when the font does get

screwed up, it seems like only uppercase letters and punctuation gets
|
|
altered. Numbers and lowercase and some punctuation remains normal. Just
|

thought I'd mention everything I could think of.

This may be ok (I have no reason to doubt it), but for just a little
|
|
more work you can make it a Linux swap partition rather than
|
|
just a swap file. See the mini how-to for details.

I'm working on a Linux program to run my PIC processor programmer using
|
|
the parallel port. I snagged the Linux Programmers Manual, and tried
|
|
compiling the example printer port code. After several header additions
|
|
my last errors ar the linker not finding __inb and __inbc!
|
|
|
|
I've looked through the libraries and cannot find these functions anywhere.
|
|
|
|
Help!
|
|

Read the output of tail -f /var/spool/smail/logfile after you
|
|
run /usr/lib/smail/tools.linux/mkconfig. This should lead you
|
|
to edit various /var/lib/smail/maps/* files and the
|
|
/var/lib/smail/routers file and the /var/lib/smail/config file.
|
|
In routers you probably will want to use bsearch on all the
|
|
pathfiles you have, that is if you have a site which needs little
|
|
knowledge of the topography of the net.

There is at least one problem more.

dosemu works only in xtern, at the the system hands and you

have to reboot the system.

I have the following message in the output-file:

The terminal you are using is not defined.
