I've discovered yesterday that promise controllers have some
incompatibilities with Maxtor drives. Can you suggest another udma66
or udma100 controller? (i don't need RAID).

Thank you, will take a look!

even the noisiest hard disks aren't really that noisy ... by
themselves. however, when you bolt them to a case, they get really
noisy because cases amplify the sound. that's why i have my disks
floating on foam rubber, unbolted. this makes a huge difference,
especially with scsi disks. i used to be able to hear cronjobs
starting up while sitting on the toliet, which is a couple rooms
removed from the machine in question. ( / is on a cheetah, though the
worst disk is an st32550). now i here more hard disk noise from my
ancient laptop/firewall. i have to be careful when moving the machine,
but honestly, how often does one move a tower?
g.m.
p.s. thermistor controlled fans are a plus, too.

So each file begins with the job number. Find the number for one of
these jobs, and then look at the *converted and *filtered ones. The
filtered data is what gets sent to the printer; it's the result from
after the filter_exec{} clause, where Ghostscript is. The converted
one is from after the convert_exec{} clause, if any.
The *driver_filter one is the actual filter run on the job. One
possible problem is some sort of syntax error in this due to a bug in
my filter writer code, so I should look at that too. Of course, I
really don't see one, and it works for other people...
The *driver_convert one is the filter that turns your input into
Postscript. If you printed a plain text file, this would be
something, and the *converted file would be a Postscript version of
your text job in *raw.
Anyway, mail me your raw, converted, filtered, and printrc driver
clause and I'll see if I can reproduce this here.

The latest stable, public release is at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
The latest CVS development code is on sourceforge. But the 6.01 code

I went through the exact same thing with i810 I and
another guy on another newsgroup had bad experiences
with the Macmillian "flavor" of the kernel. I have recently
installed Mandrake 7.0 from the current issue of Maximum
linux and it worked like a charm, so beware of the Macmillian
version. So a nonstandard "patch" can make agpgart rebuild
throw up on a 2.2 kernel.

I agree. Go for an altogether non-PC architecture.
I was getting really interested in the Netwinder (see
http://www.rebel.com or http://www.netwinder.org), but then I realized
that it has no floating point unit, as well as some other smaller
problems, like a noisy fan.
I would be interested in hearing about other non-PC Linux boxes.

My stock answers:
Try the X Server from Precision Insight (
http://www.precisioninsight.com ).
The file you want is named XFCom-i740-glibc-1.1.0-1.i386 located here:
ftp://ftp.precisioninsight.com/pub/pi/XFCom/XFCom-i740-glibc-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
also get:
ftp://ftp.precisioninsight.com/pub/pi/XFCom/xf86config-glibc-1.1.0.i386.tgz
Follow the instructions after decompressing the .tgz file. The .rpm
file
should install correctly. I had marginal success with the "automatic"
XF86Config created, and had to hand-edit some modelines.

I only disabled one port in the setup utility (that's the one that you

Hi everyone,
I have installed RedHat 5.2 according to the book, and now I want to upgrade
to XFree 3.3.3.1. I downloaded and installed the following RPMs:
XFree86-3.3.3.1
XFree86-SVGA
XFree86-VGA16
XFree86-libs
XFree86-XF86Setup
XFree86-75dpi-fonts
When I select my STB nVidia card and hit OK in Xconfigurator, I get a
segmentation fault. Is the problem that I'm using Xconfigurator? Do I need
to be using XF86Setup instead? And if not, are there any other packages
that I need before I can configure XFree86 3.3.3.1?
Thanks,
Eric Brown

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a fast machine for scientific calculation pourposes.
For some constraints I'm looking to an Intel platform, so I cannot go
Alpha.
The idea is to buy a dual pentium II machine ( Dell Workstaion series
210 ).
The problem is this: will Linux support this machine?
What matherboard chipset/BIOS is supported for SMP?
Is there any standard for SMP motherboards?
Any information about SMP motherboards/BIOSes is welcome.
Thanks very much.
