hey all...
I'm going to buy a new video card soon, nothing too fancy.. right now I have
a S3 ViRGE GX/2 4mb that has been locking up X (seems to happen when I load up
a graphic in gimp and sometimes netscape)..I've heard of other people having
this problem too w/this card....anyway.. just wondering if anyone can make
a recommendation for a good, stable card in X?

$150.00?!? Try $59.00 for an 56k v90 external modem dude. I can get it at my

There are an awful lot of video card questions posted here about
performance under X windows. But the official benchmark site,
<http://charon.astro.nwu.edu/xbench>, is sorely short on data.
Come on, folks. Go visit the site, download the benchmark, run
it, and report your results. I'll be doing this as soon as my

For the past month I have really enjoyed my new RedHat 5.2 OS. Now I would
like to connect three PC (all Linux) and have a little network that we can
play around with. I am trying to get everyone on board to Linux. However, I
ran into a bit of a problem and hope some one out there can give me a few
pointers.
I have a P100 and installed a Either16 Lan Card to connect to Ethernet
5-Port Workgroup Hub. I have installed the card, connected it to the HUB
(get green lights) 10BaseT port. However, when I try to configure the PC for
LAN connection, it cannot find the card. I have tried automatic
configuration, manual configuration with all the suggested I/O (280,300,320
and 3240), IRQ (3,5,310,11) and everything that I can think of including
NE2000 Compatible setting. Still no luck.
If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciated it. Thanking you
in advance.

I seem to recal that you have the option of manually specifying the amount
of RAM your video card has

Transparently to the user, as in automatically reconnecting to
a share and re-authenticating when necessary. If you are concerned
about the overhead of passing a name and password at connection
establishment, file sharing is probably the wrong approach
anyway. But, the real problem is that you have to map the ports
to a single IP address so you can't redirect your local ports if
you have a local server running. Has anyone tried a scheme of
IP aliases on the tunneling machine to get the effect of NAT
through an ssh connection?

Thanks for all your help. I did a re-install selecting everything. This
time I got all the directory structures, all the modules and all the source.
I was able to change the driver and re-compile a new kernel.
It appears the problem is with the SVGA X-Server. If I install the VGA
X-Server I don't have the problem of the system locking up when networking
is enabled. If I install the SVGA X-Server while networking is
enabled...the system locks up (even with the new driver).
Thanks again for all your help.

Subject: Debian Install: Where did my support aha152x scsi driver go ?
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 05:07:21 GMT
After doing a standard install of Debian 2.0.34 from floppy, I used to be able
to get access to my adaptec SCSI card by just adding this line to lilo.conf:
append="aha152x,0x140,11,7"
(then running lilo, of course).
This morning I had to rebuild everything from installation files, and no scsi
drive is now being found.
Should there be a file aha152x.o under /lib/modules for the kernel "appendage"
to work, or does some other configuration file need tweaking?
If I need a aha152x.o module file, what would be the easiest way of getting it
(without recompiling from kernel source package, please !!!)
Thanks for helping. . .

I tried append="mem=128M" (long time ago). It worked for about 4 months
without any problems. Today, the machine froze up on my roommate who
instinctively hit the reset button. Now, the machine boots fine if I
remove the mem=128M from the append (albeit with only 64MB of usable
RAM).
When mem=128M is in lilo.conf, what happens is that after it detects hda
and hdb, it gives an error before INIT...
It says libc6 had some undefined symbol. Sorry, didn't write it down.
I was wondering if I could find some help on this.
I installed RH5.0 a while back and the kernel is now 2.0.35. glibc and a
whole bunch of libs. Had no problems till today.
Any help appreciated.

Well, sounds to me like you've got 4 print servers there. I'm not sure
about OS/2 and Win95, but certainly your Linux computers can be set up
as print servers. Just connect the printer to one and configure the
"lpd" software appropriately on both. I can't help you on what, if
anything, you have to do on the OS/2 and Win95 systems.

If one of the Linux boxes is up all the time, plug the printer
into it and set up lpr/lpd. The other Linux box (and OS/2 if
you have TCP installed) can access it as a remote lpd. Set
up samba to share to the Win95 box.
A print server will just look like a remote lpd - they are nice
if you don't plan to keep a server running all the time and they
offload some of the work, but in such a small network that probably
doesn't matter.
