|
|
|
|
The options available in a window manager can sometimes make a difference. I
|
|
could see why clicking on a window with the left button to change the
|
|
keyboard focus might also clear the copy-buffer. The window manager would
|
|
do two things with that click: change the focus, (possibly raise it too), and
|
|
then try to highlight a null-size copy area which clears your copy-buffer.
|
|
According to the olwm man page:
|
|
"You can set the input focus to a window and simultaneously raise it to the
|
|
top by clicking the left mouse button in the window's title bar or border.
|
|
Olwm has another focus mode called "focus-follows-mouse." In
|
|
this mode, whatever window the mouse is pointing to will receive
|
|
the input focus. To switch the input focus from one window to
|
|
another, you simply move the pointer to the other window; you
|
|
don't have to click at all."
|
|
|
|
They state rather specifically that it has to be the title bar or
|
|
border, not within the drawing window. You might also want to play with
|
|
a different focus mechanism. Try the following resource:
|
|
olwm*SetInput: followmouse
|
|
|
|
I use mwm and prefer the pointer/followmouse mechanism over the point-and-click
|
|
method. You might too. I know that you place resources for mwm in .Xdefaults;
|
|
I'm not sure where the best place is for them for olwm.

You should only have to do the rdev thingy once. You execute

then execute LILO to update the master boot record, then you're done.

I'd really like to know why does Linux DOOM run significantly slower
|
|
on Linux than it does on DOS for the same machine. Is it because it
|
|
has to go through multiple layers of X and Linux? I've also played it
|
|
on a SGI workstation, where it is reasonably fast. Of course, the
|
|
machine also had a 150 MHz MIPS processor. Is there any way to
|
|
make doom run faster on Linux besides getting a faster machine?

Good idea Randy. Let me point out that Linux Journal currently has a
|
|
Consultants Directory in it. This can be a source of people for you to
|
|
contact as well as its primary purpose: showing people where to find Linux
|
|
consulting.
|
|
|
|
The primary advantage of the listing in LJ is that it reaches a lot of
|
|
people who are not on the Internet and are thus more likely to need
|
|
hand-holding. For those out there doing consulting, your initial listing
|
|
in LJ is free, then it costs $150/year (which about 1/2 covers our actual
|
|
cost but weeds out the "list me for the hell of it" from people who are
|
|
serious).

Are you sure you have a math-coprocessor? The 486-SLC doesn't come with one

built in... you have to purchase it separately. If you don't have one...

just enable math-coprocessor emulation.

: Are there IP addresses set aside for standalone LANs? Where are they

|

Okay, I have two suggestions... In ``TCP/IP Network Administration''
|
|
by ORA, it says that the address with a first byte "Greater than 223,
|
|
indicates the address is reserved. We can ignore these reserved
|
|
addresses". You shouldn't find people using those addresses on the
|
|
Internet, so I guess you could use address then 224.0.0.x for your own
|
|
LAN.
|
|
|
|
My other suggestion is to register your own Class C Network with
|
|
InterNIC, who will assign you your own IP numbers. It doesn't cost
|
|
anything, and if you planning to eventually connect your LAN to the
|
|
Internet it might be worth looking into. I *think* you can pick up
|
|
the form from internic.net somewhere, but I don't remember where.
|
|
See what you think.

Your belief is incorrect. The PCI bus has both 32 and 64 bit
|

versions.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
Is the Novell os supposed to be the one that _properly_ suppors dos, win, X,
|
|
etc at the same time?
|
|
Could somebody clarify this please?
|
|
|
|
(email would be nice cos downloading this newsgroup is a bummer!)
|
|
Thanks!

Beware of the Mitsumi dumb audio cable ! In order to get CD-Audio sound
|
|
on your SB16 you should check the connector and the cable. The white plug
|
|
on the cable is inversed (well it was with a lot CD's I mounted here in France)

Hi. I have Linux installed on my hard drive, and would like to know how I

can format and copy to and from floppy disks. I know my drives are named

fd0 and fd1, but that's about it. Any help on this group or private E-mail

The libraries must be the last arguments. Use:
|
|
|
|
g++ -o test test.cc -lm

I replied to the original author via e-mail. However, since there seems
|
|
to be such a negative view here about Royal, I thought I'd throw in my
|
|
$.02. Say what you want about Royal, they do ship systems on time. I had
|
|
ordered a G2000, and specifically asked about shipping problems. The
|
|
responce was that there were no delays. Ten days later, when I called to
|
|
confirm that my system was shipped, I was told it was delayed two weeks.
|
|
I still don't know why; three phone calls resulted in three different
|
|
results ranging from the P5-90 sticker to the Neptune chipset. Needless
|
|
to say I cancelled my order. Royal promised I'd have the system in 7 days
|
|
and I did. I should point out that a friend of mine ordered a system from
|
|
a third vendor, and his system was delayed a week.
|
|
BTW, my CPU (a Pentium 90) has a fan right on it. What's the problem with
|
|
not having heatsink compound?
