[Cooker] .Xdefaults with netscape?

2000-06-26 Thread Christopher Campbell

Hey, for those of you running Xfree 4.0, are you running
imwheel to be able to scroll in netscape or what are you
doing?  I used to have a nice ~/.Xdefaults setup, with
smooth scrolling in netscape and such, but i dont think 4.0
uses that file???  Imwheel has such terrible scrollig and
handling of windows and such has anyone come up with an
alternative?




[Cooker] wheel mouse still broke!

2000-06-25 Thread Christopher Campbell

Hey,

My wheel mouse is still broke in XFree 4.0
If anyone has it working, can they tell me what
/etc/sysconfig/mouse says as well as thier Pointer lines
in /etc/X11/XF84Config?
I would greatly appreciate it.  I have upgraded imwheel, i
have turn gpm off, i have done just about everything to no
avail.

Thanks, 
Christopher Campbell




Re: [Cooker] U66 times?

2000-06-19 Thread Christopher Campbell



Are these fast times or what?




[root@vegan vegan]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hdf

/dev/hdf:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.38 seconds = 92.75 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 17.79 seconds =  3.60 MB/sec
[root@vegan vegan]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hde

/dev/hde:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.39 seconds = 92.09 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 18.61 seconds =  3.44 MB/sec




Re: [Cooker] U66 solved

2000-06-19 Thread Christopher Campbell



Ok Ok but how do you test the speeds of your drives?
My drive supports 
 Model=Maxtor 92720U8, FwRev=MA540RR0, SerialNo=C803RN7C
 Config={ Fixed }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57
 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=53177040
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 
 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 


so.. UDMA 4 is the fastest... I dont know what I am running
at right now.. is this told in the above information?
I mainly want to know if there is a way to benchmark your
throughput... 
Thanks.
