[Cooker] FYI: Licq -- segmentation fault occurring
Licq -- segmentation fault occurring on all my linux machines. I can execute and log-in and all contacts in the icq menu will show but apperantly something's up with the icq server. I think it's checking to see what o/s one is using and then if it's "Linux" it will crash (i.e. seg fault and close).

As such, more users are probabely going to want linux for a server o/s rather than win 2000 (nt) --at the user end.
[Cooker] RE: Install
I know someone said they fixed the installer timeout in ftp installs a couple of weeks ago. But I just ran the installer, and it still time's out during package selection. Also. I have an HPT366 controller (abit bp6) and I let the installer make changes to my boot floppy on the first boot to allow for the drives on this controller. After the boot during scsi detection i get the following error. An Error occurred. Undefined subroutine &pci_probing::main::probe called. This is during an expert->development install.
Re: [Cooker] initscripts trouble
Everything appears to be okay, except: The old 'Backspace sends ^?' no longer works. The ^? sequence now sends Forward Delete. I have overriden the keytable section so that it uses only ^h, but this has adverse effects on some X console apps.. I think that ^? should still send backspace, since this worked before and it seems more universal. Thanks, Owen On Thu, 16 Mar 2000, you wrote: > "Guy T.

Hi, On 17 mar, Justin Young wrote: > Dude, you are mistaken. A V1(Blech!) has no 2D support. It's a 3D (quite > slow nowadays, too) only solution. A V2 has no 2D support either. You > could use it for Glide (ha!) support. Well, I disagree. I would say, Voodoo 1&2 boards don't have _obvious_ 2D support. That is, the input (typically Glide API) is 3D. But the output is 2D, right ? So now suppose I write (well I didn't write it !) a description of the plane which is my X desktop, in Glide... You see where I'm heading, don't you ? Yes, the output will be a (slow) 2D X server. But it works ! And actually, someone in the XFree86 team coded that. If you look on xfree86.org, on the driver status, you'll see : 4.0: Support for Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2 via glide on platforms where glide is available (Linux and FreeBSD(?)). Support is provided by the "glide" driver (requires Glide 2x). Support (including acceleration) for Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo 3. Support is provided by the "tdfx" driver. This is for 2D, not 3D. The Voodoo2 is not concerned with GLX or DRI stuff afaik. And in the release note, you'll notice this "glide" driver. The thing is, to use dual-head, you have to have the two (2D) cards initialised at boot. Which doesn't happen on my machine (Mach64 + TNT2). The soft boot doesn't seem to work either. Weird stuff happens when I try to use the Mach64, though it gets detected. That's where the Voodoo makes the difference. It's not a "graphic" board, but a multimedia device. As such, it gets initialized at boot time. And will work for a dual head environment once I find this glide_drv.o ! I think I'll have to recompile myself, in the end... > However, you're not going to use it > in a 2D dual-head capacity. Your Ultra TNT2 will blow either one of these > puppies (Yes, even w/ SLI) away once Nvidia releases its Xfree server. Well, I hate to hear that, "once Nvidia releases its XFree server" ! They seem so busy with the Win2000 video drivers these days. I wonder when they are going to release the full documentation so the Utah-GLX people can produce a decent GLX module. The only thing I've seen so far is : on q3 and UT, my Voodoo2 beats the TNT2/GLX anytime. > Get a V2 (or two for SLI) for cheap 3D support until Nvidia releases its > Xserver. > > For glide, check http://linux.3dfx.com/.

Is that correct? > > Bill Ummm Tell me that your drive is NOT an ST384xy series. 586 code is showing up deficiencies and shortcuts in drive timing especially for UDMA/UDMA2 drives. If your drive is Seagate or WD, chances are strong it is a hardware problem which will keep you from using that drive on the primary channel--actually it is a signal reflection which becomes active under the more precise timing constraints of the 586 code.
