Hi there,
get the drivers from NVidia and follow the readme. This will bring you
fast 2D and 3D support.

Hmm, well, I have installed RH70 and RH70beta on two machines both
having a GeForce 2 GTS. They use the nvidia driver and allmost
everything works just nicely. I did see an OpenGL lockup (can be
repeated), hence the "allmost everything". In general, X/OpenGL is
rock stable (Unreal Tournament works, as well as other OpenGL stuff).
The nv driver may not support G2 but the nvidia driver does not
prevent X/OpenGL being used.
I haven't actually checked the XFree86 log so check for errors. I
figured if X starts, it cannot be all bad. (TNT2 cards can be a
different story, though).

This was already done as part of the Utah-GLX project. Generally,
the 3D acceleration of the ViRGE is just about worthless. The guy
who actually made it work for OpenGL got some derision for even
trying, but quite a bit of respect for making it work.
It worked as well as it could. I ran it briefly, before getting a
Matrox G400.

Subject: dell 1700FP monitor
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 14:29:57 +0200
dear people,
i'm running linux (redhat 6.2) on a dell optiplex gx110 with a dell
monitor,
in concrete the model 1700FP.
although this monitor is on the database of the linux installation, and
therefore
the frequencies are exactly those that are specified in the technical
manual,
X window shows a quite anoying flickering.
the horizontal range is 30khz to 80 khz
the vertical range is 56hz to 76hz
when i invoke the menu of the screen through the 'menu' button, it says
that
it is working at 78.8kHz and 74Hz, which matches those ranges.
according to these ranges and a resolution of 1280x1024, the following
mode
is selected:
# 1280x1024 @ 74 Hz, 78.85 kHz hsync
Modeline "1280x1024" 135 1280 1312 1456 1712 1024 1027 1030 1064
which i figured out from the output of /var/gdm/:0.log :
(...)
(--) SVGA: GART: allocated 4096K system ram
(--) SVGA: chipset: i810e
(--) SVGA: videoram: 4096k

(**) SVGA: Using 16 bpp, Depth 16, Color weight: 565
(--) SVGA: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 163.000 MHz
(**) SVGA: Mode "1280x1024": mode clock = 135.000
(--) SVGA: Virtual resolution set to 1280x1024
(--) SVGA: SpeedUp code selection modified because virtualX != 1024

(--) SVGA: i810e: Using hardware cursor
(--) SVGA: Setting dot clock to 135.0 MHz [ 0x2b 0x6 0x20 ] [ 45 8 2 ]
(...)
since everything seems to be set up according to the technical
specifications
of the monitor, i do not see a way of improving the quality of the
image, which
it's a shame for such nice screen (on windows looks fine).
i hope someone could give me some tip about this.
thanx

Don,
Not sure what you mean - "with the good drivers"? My soundcard definately
didn't come with Linux drivers from aureal, and I was unable to get them
from aureal (their site was down every time I tried - possible related to
their going out of business).
The MX300 is not supported by the kernel, and the only other drivers I
have found are the VERY beta ones from Opensound (they sound like sh*t) and
the aureal project on sourceforge (they sound GREAT but, as I noted, they
have some problems with system lockups using certain videocards and
mainboards).
If you could elaborate a little bit....I'd love to get my MX300 working,
but I worked the problem for almost 2 months w/out success.

Thanks for that info. I upgraded the kernel to 2.2.17 and built the aic7xxx support
into the kernel. I did not use any boot parameters. Both SCSI cards and all

if it's the only tape it's called
/dev/st0 - rewind after operation
or
/dev/nst0 - does not rewind (you can add further archives)
the mt command (e.g. to change hardwarecompression to on):
mtst -f /dev/nst0 compression 1

Subject: HELP!! simple driver to map /dev/mem to user space mem
Hi all,
I am working with a PCI board which has onboard memory. The card does
not have a device driver, so the only way I can access the card's
memory is by openening /dev/mem en mmaping the right memory block into
user space memory. However, this is only possible when running as
root. I want to be able to access the boards memory as an ordinary
user by writing a simple kernel-space device driver which maps the
correct memory from /dev/mem to memory in user space.
Can anyone help me out by giving me pointers to usefull example code,
documents or whatever useful information?
Thanks in advance.
