The Binkley port is based off of the AtariST port, which was based off of
|
|
BT pre-2.50. Granted, it isn't based off of the most current version, but
|
|
it adds a few things that the currently released version doesn't have (EMSI
|
|
sessions is a prime example).
|
|
|
|
Thus far, it works for me. Now if I could get rfmail to give decent SeenBy
|
|
lines, I'd be all set to take off the last reason I boot DOS by default...

I have used the Morngingstar PPP, and it is a top-notch product.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This file describes the X configuration for the GW2k 66V with ATI GUP.
|
|
|
|
The ATI Graphics Ultra Pro card can emulate the ATI Wonder Plus. It is this
|
|
driver for the Wonder Plus that we use. The Xfree server reports upon startup
|
|
which driving frequencies can be used. Fortunately these frequencies are not all
|
|
the frequencies the card supports. Additional frequencies are
|
|
|
|
80, 110, 126 and 135 MHz.
|
|
|
|
The ATI board has 1MB memory (by the way, the Xfree driver does not support
|
|
more). If a ratio is 4:3 is obeyed (the traditional TV H:V ratio) the
|
|
resolution that comes closest to 1MB is 1184x880 (if the number of horizontal
|
|
pixels is a multiple of 8, which is a requirement of the driver). More popular
|
|
is the resolution 1152x900 because it allows for more horizontal text lines.
|
|
Both entries can be found in the Xconfig example below.
|
|
|
|
The 15" monitor of Gateway is the 1572FS. This monitor has a maximum
|
|
horizontal frequency of 64 kHz (see page 10 of the monitor manual).
|
|
|
|
Experimentally I found that (for the 1572FS) :
|
|
|
|
. The horizontal sync pulse should come as least .32 usec after the last
|
|
displayable pixel. Smaller values tend to truncate the line.
|
|
|
|
. The monitor needs 3 usec between horizontal lines (to sweep from right to
|
|
left).
|
|
|
|
. The monitor needs .37 msec between two frames (to sweep from bottom to top)
|
|
|
|
The higher the driving frequency, the higher the screen refresh rate. For the
|
|
driving frequencies 110 MHz and higher the horizontal frequencies are above
|
|
64 kHz (outside the 1572 FS spec). So we use 80 MHz for the 1572FS. In terms of
|
|
the 'video.tutorial' this translates into:
|
|
|
|
80 MHz -> 1 clock pulse = 0.0125 usec
|
|
D1 > .32 usec = 25.6 pulses -> D1 = 32 pulses
|
|
D2+S > 3 usec = 240 pulses -> D2+S = 240 pulses
|
|
One line is at least 1152+32+240 pixels = 17.8 usec. Therefore a delay of
|
|
20 lines between two frames is the absolute minimum.
|
|
|
|
This results in:
|
|
|
|
N=1184 D1=32 S=240 D2=0 V=880 Vsync=2 Vdelay=20 or
|
|
N=1152 D1=32 S=240 D2=0 V=900 Vsync=2 Vdelay=20
|
|
|
|
Experimentally the best results are obtained for :
|
|
|
|
"1184x880" 80 1184 1224 1464 1464 880 880 882 902
|
|
"1152x900" 80 1152 1184 1424 1424 900 900 902 922
|
|
|
|
Note that the 1572FS monitor is the bottleneck and that higher refresh rates
|
|
are reachable with faster monitors (horizontal frequencies above 64 kHz).

Given another month I should have a V7 nodelist compiler finished,

hello?
|
|
|
|
on *BSD, HZ is 100, and has been for a long time. (This includes {386,
|
|
Free,Net}BSD).
|
|
|
|
on SunOS, it's 60, for "compatibility reasons" or something like that.
|
|
|
|
on Ultrix, it appears to be something like either 100 on some
|
|
machines, or 256 on others (they've removed the #define, and
|
|
replaced it with an entry in a cpu configuration table, or so it
|
|
would seem).
|
|
|
|
|
|
but for {386,Free,Net}BSD, you're definitely wrong, hz is 100,
|
|
and always has been.

I have solved all my problems with having lilo default boot MSDOS. I did try

changing the order of boot information, but then lilo errored out when

installing to make the map file. What I forgot to do was edit config and

create the install line to tell it to use boot.b. When I did that, and re

./install with the new config file, everything worked fine.

I wanted to thank all that responded to my original message. I tried to
|
|
respond privately to all that responded, however I had a mail system crash last
|
|
night and many outgoing messages were lost.
|
|
|
|
Again, thanks for all your help

This message is for Michelle,
|
|
|
|
I made instructions for you per what we talked about, but my mail system
|
|
crashed, so I lost your original message, my reply and your email address.
|

Please respond privately with your system information and I will write back.

Hi:
|
|
|
|
Does anyone know if the DIAMOND SPEEDSTAR 24X will work with Linux, and if
|
|
so, where a driver might be available?
|
|
|
|
I looked on the DIAMOND BBS, and did not notice anything.
|
|
|
|
thanks

I am running the following today and I would like to upgrade to .99p13. I
|
|
know this information is available in HOWTO's but I have read so many news
|
|
about people with problems (especially with SCSI - UltraStor 34F) that I would
|
|
rather ask then assume. I have the following components today!
|
|
|
|
a) .99p10 kernel
|
|
b) net-2 networking
|
|
c) 2.4.3 GCC
|
|
d) 4.4 libc
|
|
e) SCSI (UltaStor 34F)
|
|
|
|
I like to upgrade all the pieces if I have to but I would like to upgrade
|
|
to most recent but MOST ROBURST versions. I use my system alot for work work
|
|
and school work. I suggestion would be much appreciated. Also if someone could
|
|
also suggest where to get the new pieces.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|

Sohail

NOTE: I have seen messages from people with problems on:
|
|
|
|
.99p13 kernel - Is is ready yet ?
|
|
GCC and SCSI code giving errors!
|
|
Net-2 release with problems
|
|
4.4.XX libc - which do I need ?
|
|
Inter-dependencies and problems!

I have a Orchid Faherenhit VA/VLB video card (S3 based). It has voice anno-
|
|
tation features. It has microphone and speaker jacks at the back. Under DOS/
|
|
MS-Windows I can use it to record and play voice messages. I am not sure -
|
|
|
|
a) How it works ?
|
|
b) How does the features compare to a regular sound card (SoundBlaster!) ?
|
|
c) Can I use the sound features of this board under LINUX (like I can
|
|
under MS-Windows) ?
|
|
d) If I buy a CD Drive can I use this to play sound CD's ?
|
|

Sincerely,
