Re: Slow data transfer rates:

Hi there...

This sounds exactly like the problem I had with RH7.3 and the 845
chipset (well similar - mine was a DMA problem but I believe I have an
idea why this happens...).  I fixed the problem by downloading the
2.4.20 kernel sources and recompiling.  The default interval for
flushing journaled data to disk is 30 seconds.  Combine this with no DMA
and you experience the lockups you were reporting.  The latest kernel
sources change this interval to 5 seconds and fix DMA problems with most
modern motherboards.  If you already have this kernel you may have to
recompile it anyway to add better support for the motherboard.  Look at:

For my original mlug post.

XFree86 Dual monitor

Hi guys,

I've been playing around with this for the last month or so, trying to get it 
to work - have tried everything I can think of - I'm sure it's something 
simple, but don't know enough about X configuration to figure out what.

I'm trying to get my KDE desktop spread across dual monitors using Xinerama 
extension. I've read the Xinerama howto at linuxdocs a thousand times (maybe 
a slight exaggeration!) and can't seem to find any solutions using google 
searches. The problem is that while I can get either screen to work fine by 
itself, when I attempt to use both, X either:

Big screen works fine, shows test screen, but little screen initialises then 
shows nothing. Get error: "module v41 doesn't exist". This occurs when I 
initialise the Geforce screen first.

Or:

Both screens initialise fine, but show nothing. Same error as above. This 
occurs when I inisialise the s3 card first.

My XFree86 conf file follows. Many thanks,

dave.

XFree86.dual:

Section "Module"
	Load  "dbe"
	Load  "dri"

Re: font size in shell

Hi

you might want to look into 'svgatextmode'.  Here is something quoted
from the Description: 

"This program is designed to greatly improve the normal (EGA-based)
textmodes on your Linux machine. It uses an Xconfig-like configuration 
file to set up better looking textmodes. (=higher resolution, larger 
font size, higher display refresh...) This is already a big boon on normal 
14" displays, and it is an immense difference on larger and better (15" 
and up) screens.  It stems from the idea that it is a real waste of hardware 
to use EGA textmodes on an SVGA-card, which was designed to do much better 
than that."

Hope that helps.

Kenny

Heh. When UNIX turned 1,000,000,000 seconds old, I saved my journal entry
of that day within a second of the clock turning, so the world could see
my timestamp as 1000000000 :)

Hehe, I wasn't on the net then... I was on the air!  Same principle,
different medium.  Main difference was I could get out and watch the
fireworks. :)

Re: Xine & Kaboodle

To get Xine to work I downloaded the following rpm's from the Internet:

(mostly used rmpfind.net)

aalib-1.2-5.i386.rpm
lirc-0.6.5-fr3.i386.rpm &
xine-libs-0.9.13-fr6.i386.rpm for the libs and backend &
xine-0.9.13-fr6.i386.rpm for the front end

Once all loaded, worked a treat.

I'm sure there's probably a better way, but this worked for me.

Regards
