I suggest using the shell builtin "limit" or "ulimit" to tell the process
|
|
how much memory you want it to use. Of course said process would have
|
|
to handle failure of malloc() in a sensible manner.

I have a laptop that I run in 640x480 using XF86_VGA16 and a small enough
|
|
font that I don't notice the cramped resolution. Works like a champ.
|
|
|
|
For running DOOM, I use the XF86_SVGA server and chipset "generic"
|
|
with a stock VGA 320x200 modes line:
|
|
"320x200" 25 320 344 376 400 200 204 206 225
|
|
|
|
You can simply run the server, without any clients, and start linuxxdoom
|
|
on a VT. Looks very nice!

I just installed Slackware 2.0, kernel version 1.0.9, ftape version

0.9.10 (I think ... theres a *0.9.10.patch file in my /boot

/dev/ftape from root. It then worked once, and then no more. There

If seeing the commands the user issued is what you want, just patch the

Now I have to write some perl scripts to condense all of the info.

Is there any utility like sun's "play" to play .au file? The quality

Well, note that certain additional disclaimers have been added in the

kernel. I think it's a key point.

I believe, even more than the legal issues (and they are there,
|
|
indiscriminate application of an unmodified GPL or LGPL would certainly
|
|
bring them out), I do have problems with depending on the "largesse" of the
|
|
FSF people to somehow always make exceptions. It's a bad idea. Having the
|
|
FSF "take over" Linux, or WINE, or what-have-you, conveys no real advantages
|
|
and has the disadvantage of involving what might be well on its way towards
|
|
becoming a software bureaucracy. No offense intended to anyone. :)

Sorry, but you're wrong. The Linux kernel, for example, adds additional
|
|
disclaimers which modify the GNU-format license it is used under.
|
|
|
|
Also, a GNU license which is owned by FSF would be enforced by FSF (at least
|
|
FSF would attempt to enforce its license as it saw fit, which could
|
|
certainly be a nuisance at times, and which would probably change the
|
|
emphasis of Linux licensing.).

|
|
|

GNU software *has* received recognition for being GNU software.
|
|
Nonetheless, the Linux itself was not written by FSF, has a modified GPL,
|
|
and could be packaged in a distribution which did not include FSF software
|
|
(and, I think, has been, at early stages of its development). It would
|
|
still remain Linux. FSF software without Linux would just be, um, FSF
|
|
software, wouldn't it? ;)
|
|
|
|
I have no problem with RMS stating his views in any way he sees fit.
|
|
Nonetheless, I believe too close an association with FSF would not
|
|
especially profit Linux.

The wad file is the shareware version, and thus is fully legal. If you're

But no music? I have a synth, and I can play things through /dev/midi,

They are definately NOT interested in allowing people to pirate their software.
|
|
They are also not interested in porting WP to Linux either. We have offered to
|
|
help .. official word is .. don't call us, we'll call you .. and we were willing
|
|
to pay for it too ...

Novell are not even interested in a commercial version of WP for Linux .. at least
|
|
they were not when we asked them.

First, make sure that your RAM is configured in "Linear Mode" as opposed
|
|
to "Comapaq Compatible Mode" in you EISA configuration. Then edit
|
|
/usr/src/linux/init/main.c. Locate the function start_kernel() and
|
|
hardwire the value of memory_end to 24*1024*1024. Relink and reboot
|
|
and you should be all set.

Does 8 bit sound work *at all*? I have the Soundblaster Pro, and when
|
|
I start it up, it says, could not initialize 16 bit sound (or something
|
|
similar). When I run sndserver by itself, it goes through and
|
|
says could not find certain 16 bits sound images in doom1.wad. But it
|
|
does click the speaker. It doesn't do that just with linuxxdoom.
|
|
|
|
In the post on comp.os.linux.announce (but nowhere else) there was
|
|
mention of a certain required sound driver. Could this be the problem?
|
|
I assume this was just the kernel sound driver or was it additional
|
|
software? I have all the latest kernels.
|
|
|
|
I really love the program, though, and I had never played the game before
|
|
yesterday.
