He calls me idiot, and other names, and you say this is my self
portrait? if you followed the thread, you'll see that I only referred
to k6 III's Now why don't you defend his statement in logic to me as
well instead of telling me the celerons are snappy in Windows. This
thread was about the observation of increasing caches and their effect
on multi-tasking. under 98 ((well part of this thread)). Chris
added nothing but insults to this thread and is now back paddling
talking about k6 II's to which no one even considered till today. If
you believe that . "Celerons are
>> >very snappy in Windows, much more so than AMD machines I have seen." means
that a k6 III is faster than a celeron then no hope in discussing
this. My entire point related to the k6 III and its larger L2 cache
and L3 level cache and its effects. There's nothing wrong with any of
the machines. Under the context of which I spoke, and you'll have to
read them all like 15 messages, the celeron is lagging....and I see
the same lag take effect, when I progressively turn off the caches in
the k6 III. Don't come and obfusicate the issue by bringing in the k6
II's please. This is about the effect of larger caches on reasonably
similar cpu's and its effect on Windows multitasking in a business
environment. Not about ICQ and Games or Frames per second. That's not
the way I was discussing this. Now If i called you idiot like I been
called by Chris, then you can say I have a self portrait. But I won't
call you idiot.

I always run my Viper 550 TNT video card at 1600x1200, 32 bits/pixel using a 19
446Xpro Nokia montitor. I currently run it at 82Hz due to also using a Cybex
switchbox. Before I put in the Cybex, I was running it at 85Hz. Nice and
sharp. Now, my video card is a PCI card, since my motherboard (Intel 4400GX+
server) doesn't have an AGP card, but I imagine the AGP card should be just as
well. Note you need XFree 3.3.3.1 (which is the current version).

Note to the original poster. There was a fairly serious bug in Rh 6.0 that
would leave xterm's running. Maybe you ran out of pty's or memory to run new
programs. Its fixed in the updates at updates.redhat.com.

I have found my Xpert card to be finicky about the monitor selection in Xconfigurator.
I toyed with various "generic" as well as "custom" monitor types, and Xconfigurator
allowed 640x480 @ 8 bpp (which worked fine) and nothing more. Only after experimenting
with other monitor types were the higher resolutions unlocked.

Except in this case, IBM's "kilo" is not 1000 nor 1024, it's 1006.38
and 16.8 GB = 8.4 GB * 1.9996
Their website does not show the actual number of sectors, so you don't know
really unless you actually buy one. The specs are at (with no real numbers)
http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/desk/1614data.htm
So yeah, in the world of marketing, units mean whatever the manufacturer
wants it to mean.

AFAIK the XFree86 version that comes with RH5.2 is not recent enough to have the
TNT chipset support. Download the latest driver (probably the RPM's from RedHat
are easiest. Ensure you get the SVGA server RPM also). Upgrade your packages and
you should be able to select the TNT driver. By the way, if you're using
Xconfigurator that comes with RH, you'll need to update the RPM for that also.
Hope this helps

Subject: Use CD-R all the time?
Date: 13 Jul 1999 03:19:52 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a minor problem. My old system just died. It was 3 years old and
I was planning on replacing it anyway. That's not the problem. The problem
is that it happened unexpectedly and I *had* to get a new machine ASAP.
I'm not into really building my own. So I went to Frys Electronics and
picked up what seems to be a good, albeit unknown to me, system (NexStar).
Anyway. This system came with the usual stuff. I immediately put my stuff
into it. In particular, it came with a 10Gb HD (hda) + IDE CD-ROM (hdc).
Well, of course I wanted my old HDs (3 of them). I also transplanted my
SCSI adapter. Attached to the SCSI is an external CD-Recordable and
a tape drive. Well, I left in the new CD-ROM, but made it hdd. I then put in
my 3 HDs (8.5G, 2.5G, & 6.4G).
Now I am considering one of the following:
1) remove the IDE CD-ROM and put the 10Gb in as hdd. This means that I
will need to use the SCSI CD-Recordable as my only CD. This is OK by me,
but I vaguely remember somebody, somewhere saying this was not a good idea.
Something about the "head" being heavier and so the drive motor for the
head will wear out sooner. Is this true? Or sometimes true depending on the
model of the CD-Recorder (Mine is a Caravelle model CDR-N820S)?
2) Install another IDE controller. I would then make the 10G hdd and
move the IDE CD-ROM to this new controller (hde?). Or would it be better
to leave the CD where it is and put the 10G on hde? If I go this route,
I'd probably get a Promise Ultra/66. I don't know if this is totally
supported. I'm running RH 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15). I've read some messages
that say it works and other say that it doesn't.
Anyway, your opinion and experience in this area is appreciated,
John

The old Nvidia TNT driver (The one that's include in redhat 6.0) works fine

Subject: Kernel Panic, initrd problem?
Date: 13 Jul 1999 03:28:27 GMT
Greetings all. I've been gone from the linux world for a while, but I
thought I'd come blazing back on the scene with RH 6.0. It works quite
well, but I cannot seem to get the 2.2 kernel recompiled. This was never a
problem back in the 2.0 days, so I can't figure out what's going on.
When I boot my new kernel, I get an error: "Kernel Panic: cannot mount
root VFS" (not exact text)
I have no idea what this means, but I suspect it has something to do with
the fact that RH installs an initrd image, and my new kernel does not.
Anyone have any clue? All I'm trying to do is get my ATAPI CDRW and
Ensoniq AudioPCI to work - you'd think this would be easier!
Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks so much,

Don't use X windows eh? X uses 3 buttons, yes you can do emulation,

it shouldn't have 2 button mice.

Heya,

I solved this problem last night with my Leadtek S320II as well :)
Being a complete newbie, I was pretty stoked about finding out how to do it!
Simple steps (hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but this is pretty
detailed) -
1) Grab the latest XFree86 rpms (3.3.3.1-52) from your local RedHat mirror.
2) Install them
rpm -U XFree86*
3) Run xf86config and choose card 404 (Riva TNT)
3) Grab the RIVA-X-GLX-1.0-glibc-i386-dyn.tar.gz from
ftp://ftp1.detonator.nvidia.com/pub/drivers/english/riva-tnt-tnt2-vanta/linu
x/
4) Unpack this file somewhere
tar xvf RIVA-X-GLX-1.0-glibc-i386-dyn.tar.gz
5) Run the riva_install script
bash riva_install
6) Run X :)

Read in RedHat Linux Secrets (good book) that you can use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
to terminate the X-Windows session. You can also use Ctrl+Alt+<plus key> and
Ctrl+Alt+<minus key> to cycle through your resolutions/colour depths.
