This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and

I recently installed an ATI XPERT 98 ( 8 Mb). It works fine except for
two
features/warts.
The mouse cursor turns into a little barcode temporarily. This was cute
at first
but is annoying now. In X moving the cursor over the window bar removes
this "feature". This happens at all resolutions ( 800x600 -> 1280x1024)
@ 24 bits
The other feature is that in Netscape 4.5 the backspace key and delete
key have <delete under the cursor> behavior now, as does the GIMP file
chooser window. Other windows ( emacs, xterm ,etc) behave correctly,
This is puzzling to me. I have Xfree86 3.3.2, AfterStep. Is this a
configuration problem?

Subject: Hard Drive Question & Offer
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 01:10:49 -0500
Hi all,
I have some hard drive questions for the masters here:
1) (And I know you have heard this one a thousand times, but...)
How do you get UDMA support under Linux? The site that contained the
old Unified UDMA patch is down! The UDMA mini-HOWTO directs me to use
this patch, so... Any ideas? Is there a new patch, with instructions?
I'd like to use this feature of my hard drive... I searched DejaNews
back several months, and could not find a good answer to this question
(or any answer for that matter...)
Make you all a deal. If someone sends me the drivers for UDMA for
Linux, and how to use them, I myself will post them to the Web. Deal?
2) Every so often, my Linux system hangs, then I see a message that
my hard drive DMA has been reset & disabled, then the system goes about
it's business. I have a Fujitsu 6.4 UDMA HD, with 0kb cache. I think
that the lack of cache is what is causing the problem. The DMA is
getting overruns, with no cache to dump it to. Happens with serial
devices, right? Does anyone have any other ideas? I think I need a
better hard drive.
I have now successfully recompiled my kernel to cut out the fluff from
the default kernel. Works nicely. If I could only do that with
Windows... Not bad after only running Linux for 2 months. My only
complaint is that I have to keep Win95 on my system for a school
project. I have to run Access 97. Ugh. Anyway, new people, stick with
it and RTFM!!!

around $500 or less. I want a printer that will work well with Linux,
print PostScript files (native support would be best (faster right)),

Why anyone is crying over the PIII ID on a linux n.g. is beyond me.
I am just sitting back, thinking about all the poor fools stuck with
MS products laughing. On the other hand, it won't be long before someone
writes a watchdog program for MS machines that will report the curent
status of the ID enable/disable.
We (linux users) will have the option of turning this on or off. We
will be able to examine every open-source application for queries to the
processor ID.
Sites that require this ID will be provided with either the processor
ID, or whatever I feel like sending them today. [I miss the feature
in the old Mosaic browser that let me set the http-agent string].
Another thing to keep in mind. Many companies that operate intranets
with firewalls and proxy servers do not want information on their
internal network configuration sent out to the world. If it doesn't exist
already, it would be easy to build a proxy that would strip all cookie
and agent information from http packets.
The one use I consider to be benign, for which this ID has a legitimate
use, is as a built-in 'dongle' for commercial s/w copy protection.

Subject: Mediavision "Memphis" kit PAS16 card - ssslllloooowwwww playback . . .
Date: 28 Feb 1999 22:50:36 -0700
Yes, I know these things are aincent. But there's a place online
selling them for $30, brand new. Guess somebody dug up MV's old stock.
I've been using a PAS16 Rev. C in my Linux system for years now,
and it's worked reasonably well so I haven't seen much of a reason to
upgrade. I've got a whole other card for high quality general midi so all
I use it for is MP3's.
The memphis kit makes a pretty decent standalone cd player, and
it's nice to have access to a cdrom drive without going in the closet. (My
linux system is very loud, i keep it behind closed doors)
I had originally planned to order it and just slide it in.The
Memphis kit comes with a board that carries the same chips (near as i can
tell from available documentation) as a PAS16 Rev. D, which has a
proprietary connector out to an external housing with fairly nice speakers
and a NEC CDR-210 scsi cdrom drive. It's got two lineins, two lineouts,
midi in, and midi out on the case. This saves quite a few wires that would
otherwise be running undernieth the closet door.
So, I installed it. The modules work fine, don't complain,
/dev/sndstat still says I have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16. But anything that
plays digital audio (mpg123, wavplay, etc) produces what sounds like
someone playing a reel-to-reel tapedeck at 1/2 or maybe 1/4th the recorded
speed. I can put the old Rev. C back in and it works fine.
Here's my setup. I hope you're impressed:
IBM PCServer320 w/ dual P133 processors (Micronics motherboard,
Intel Neptune chipset)
kernel 2.2.2-ac5 running on freshly installed S.u.S.E. 6.0
(catastrophic hardware failure a few weeks ago, trusty root drive died,
reinstalled from scratch) I have compiled the kernel with SMP enabled.
It's the only way to fly, there's just nothing like having two threads
open at once.
PAS16 is using io 0x0388, dma 7, irq 14 (no ide in this box, and
for some reason irq 5 is being weird)
This sounds like it's a simple timing issue somewhere in the
driver. I've looked through all the documentation i can find and haven't
found anything that would obviously relate to this sort of thing.
The best i can figure is that it's some sort of detection code
issue. but my understanding of c is sketchy and i'm not quite sure what
I'm looking at in pas2_card.c
As i said, the board seems to be indistinguishable from a PAS16
rev. D from a hardware standpoint. The two boards appear to have all the
same chips, with the exception that the Rev. D is shown using a Zilog
5380 scsi chip and the Memphis uses an AMD 5380 chip (surely, this is
entirely irrelevant)
Is there anybody out there who's familiar with this code and might
be able to offer a suggestion of where to hack next? I have attempted
defining BROKEN_BUS_CLOCK, but it didn't solve the problem. The other
bus-speed-related #define it accepts seems only to relate to very old
motherboards. I suppose i could try it, but the bug it refers to should
also effect my Rev. C
Any thoughts?

He doesn't have to have the modem plugged into the phonejack on the wall

switch on and my system would power up. My computer was configured to
wake/power-up when it detected a ring from the modem. The modem would
flash all it's lights, including the RD light for Ring Detection.
Anyways, the UPS way is the best. I've got one on my system, but it's not

Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 06:49:08 GMT
You'll need $$$ and a big case. SuperMicro sells cases that are spec'd for
Xeon Slot 2 boards. Most Slot 2 boards will come with onboard SCSI and
ethernet. The most common seems to be an Adaptec 7895 dual channel chipset
and an Intel EtherPro 10/100. Both are supported with kernels 2.0.36 and
higher.
Still, for the price of a Xeon 450 with 512K cache you can get a PIII 500Mhz
or two PII/450s. You be within 90% of the performance of the Xeon.
I'm partial to Tyan SMP boards, but SuperMicro also makes good SMP boards.
The new Tyan 1852 (correct number?) has 6 PCI slots 1 AGP slot and built in
2940U2W scsi. The 1836DLUAN, which I use, has the same specs but is a slot 1
board with a 3940UW onboard.
All the best,

Date: Mon, 01 Mar 1999 06:54:17 GMT
Linux, like most *nix's, will intelligently schedule processes across all
available CPU's. You can really tell the difference with an SMP box on
heavily loaded systems. It remains responsive under much heavier loads.
But, if you apps are primarily single threaded, or a single large process,
most of the SMP benefits will only appear because other processes are
running on the other cpu allowing more "real" cycles for your app.
First things first, make sure you get enough ram and fast , large disks,
preferably SCSI, before investing all of your $$$ in just the CPU's. If you
get the dual board you can always upgrade later if you need to.

Subject: Winmodem woes
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1999 22:55:18 -0800
I have been reading tales of winmodem woes on this (and other n.g.s).
At this time, winmodems are not an issue with me, because all of
my ISA-deprived machines 'talk' to my ISP over an ethernet connection
to one machine that does IP masquerading, hence no need for a modem.
However, it seems that the one reason for desiring a Winmodem,
even after the realization of their shortcomings, is the desire to
save scarce ISA slots. So, here is my question:
Are there any PCI serial/parallel port cards (that work with linux)
out there? It seems to me that, if one were available, it would be
a simple matter to add an external modem without wasting ISA slots.

I just got RedHat 5.2 and I have tried to install it, but there is
apparently no support for my graphic card (Matrox MGA 200 AGP).
I have tried to install it as another Matrox because one is never
protected
against a piece of chance, but... too bad for this time.
Could anybody point me to the proper driver? And I would like to
know how to install it. Supposing I can download it frome somewhere,
what do I do with the file? Can Linux read other floppys?
Well, sorry for all these newbie questions, but I still know nothing
about Linux...
If you reply to the group, please send me also a mail.
Thanks,
Pascal Goguey

Actually - the chip ID itself was never intended to enforce copyright and
licensing of software. It is, however, designed to facilitate the gap
between the user and the vendor. I.E. - your chip ID would automatically
associate you as _you_ instead of relying on software to tell the vendor
that you are you.
If software manufacturers were to start requiring the chip ID to be turned
on (or any vendor for that matter) it would assume a breach of the
anti-trust laws. The FTC would slap law-suits on Intel/vendors in a second.
Think of this chip ID as an "optional" feature - like 128-bit encryption in
your browser. You could settle for 40-bits, but 128-bit is much better.
And, you're not forced to use the 128-bit encryption feature.
