In the readme it says some S3 928 boards with the Bt485 palette are limited to
|
|
85MHz. When I run the S3 server with our board it prints a message saying this
|
|
limit exists. This is a pain as I want to run 1280 x 1024 @ 130 MHz. As we are
|
|
a PC hardware manufacturer (i.e. when I say it's "our" 928 board I really mean
|
|
it) I have considerable leeway in making changes to the board. What I want to
|
|
know, please, is what imposes this limit, and any ideas on what to change to
|
|
remove it.

If the getty does auto-bauding (switches its baud rate to the string
|
|
returned by the modem), it's necessary -- but I know no getty that does it
|
|
all the time (mgetty can do it with the "-a" option).
|
|
|
|
I recommend, for mgetty users, to have the modem return something like the
|
|
CONNECT <DTE speed>/<DCE speed> <protocol>/<compression>
|
|
string that ZyXELs can return, because that string is very good to see
|
|
what's going on -- but it's purely informational, not functional.

True... but I think he was talking about the destination address, not the

interface address... you can route either the loopback _net_, or the

found that irqaction() is a static function in the kernel source file

|
|
|
Hello,
|
|
|
|
I'm running Linux on a 386-33Mhz with 8 MB memory. I've an Adaptec
|
|
1542 SCSI Board and a 80MB Disk from SeaGate and a 660MB Disk from HP.
|
|
Linux works fine with the ext2 filesystem. Only writing on a msdos
|
|
partition almost ever leads to corrupt files. This happens only if
|
|
I write a file on my msdos Partion on the harddisk. Floppies do fine.
|
|
|
|
I found out that files get corrupted doing a "sync" or waiting until
|
|
the buffer has been copied to disk.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
cp file /msdos/file
|
|
diff file /msdos/file
|
|
|
|
no differences will be found until the buffer has been flushed
|
|
to disk.
|
|
|
|
Doing: cp file /msdos/file
|
|
sync
|
|
diff file /msdos/file
|
|
|
|
will show up differences in over 90% of the tries!!!!
|
|
|
|
My dos partition uses to second half of the HP disk (the upper cylinders).
|
|
I think the disk has about 1400 Cylinders, put I actualy don't know.
|
|
The partition was created using fdisk from linux and FAT 16 BIT as
|
|
filesystem.
|
|
|
|
I hope someone can help me to fix this problem!!!

I can't find this in a FAQ so... I need to find a way to
|
|
get linux to log people out on hangup. If a user hangs up the modem
|
|
line, and there is a program that is running, linux doesn't kill it.
|
|
My worst example is when people are using telnet via gopher.
|
|
They hang up and gopher telnet bombs the site it was connected to so
|
|
people have a hard time logging into the remote site. (Our little
|
|
486 shut down the telnetd on the faculty Mini)
|
|
Anyway, I have a cron script that kills most of them, but it
|
|
would be nice if there was a built in solution. Thanks.

It depends on how well you want to do that.
|
|
|
|
You need a kernel, and the basic net utilities (ifconfig, route), the
|
|
mount program, umount, sync, init a new /var (you can mount this from
|
|
the server), a new /etc (you can do that also from the server, with a

little trick).

Where can I get an arp that works... the slackware 2.0 arp always
|
|
reports the same ethernet address.

I'd be very interested in this Chimera, and in general, what the situation is
|
|
with Motif clones. I've heard of one other -- SWIM -- but it's not free. Are we
|
|
close to a free motif yet?

Is this "-X" thing new? I have 0.25, and I don't remember seeing

anything about it. What exactly does it do?

Yes, but, why?!?!?! Patch never seemed to be broken before . . . (The
|
|
problem stems from the fact that patch declines to create any new files if you
|
|
run it from /usr/src without a -p argument. I found that if I went to
|
|
/usr/src/linux and used -p1, it worked. On my system, patch is version 2.1,
|
|
which seems to be the latest.)
|
|
|
|
BTW, anyone feel like taking a stab at why my previously wonderfully
|
|
stable system (running 1.0.8, installed from SlackWare) will, when asked to run
|
|
1.1.50:
|
|
|
|
1. Immediately reboot when asked to NFS-mount a remote directory
|
|
|
|
2. Always disagree with 1.0.8 about something in the ext2fs free block
|
|
bitmaps (if one fixes it, the other dislikes it)
|
|
|
|
3. Shortly after bootup, begin displaying fairly random trash on the
|
|
screen. First time I saw this was during a fsck - would up with a line of
|
|
blinking brown background/white foreground 'l's across the screen.
|
|
|
|
I would guess :) that I need to upgrade some other utils/etc. Any ideas
|
|
on what?

Generally yes, but not necessarily. Your BIOS looks down a list of
|
|
three possible parallel devices, and assigns the first one it finds to LPT1:,
|
|
The second to LPT2:, and the third to LPT3:. If you have all three, then
|
|
the parallel port on your monochrome video card is LPT1, and the ports
|
|
with hardware address 378 is LPT2, and 278 becomes LPT3. If you don't have
|
|
the video card parallel port, then 378 and 278 are LPT1 and LPT2. If you
|
|
only have port 278, then it becomes LPT1.
|
|
|
|
Linux uses a 1-to-1 correspondance with the IO ports to the Linux devices.
|
|
lp0 is always the video port. lp1 is the parallel port at 378, and lp2 is
|
|
always the port at 278. Regardless of whether or not you have them them
|
|
in your system.
|
|
|
|
I have one parallel port at home: 378. It is LPT1: under DOS, and lp1
|
|
under Linux.
|
|
|
|
A similar correspondance holds true for the serial ports at 3F8, 2F8, 3E8, 2E8
|
|
and COM1-4 under DOS and /dev/ttya-d under Linux.
|
|
|
|
Your mileage will vary depending on your hardware.
