Sometimes, when opening and/or manipulating an XLS created on winders; the desktop freezes. The mouse pointer moves; but, no alt-tab; no menuse; no ctrl-fkeys; nothing. When I ssh into this box, the CLI works fine. I restart gdm; and I kill gdm; but, the frozen desktop video remains on the screen. So far, when this happens, the only solution is a full system reboot. Just for the records, I've seen that, too, several times. Usually, that happened when I pressed the Alt key to move the window around (Windowmaker: Hit Alt and grab the window anywhere.) In these situations, the menu's File part got blue, but the rest of the menu didn't show up. Mouse movement was sssowww, and the mouse pointer didn't leave the screen (dual-head configuration with xinerama, drivers are s3virge and i810.) Oh, and that wasn't on a x86_64 system, but on a simple plain 3GHz Pentium 4. Killing OOo alone didn't ever help, I needed to shutdown the X11 server and restart it (usually blindly, since I needed to kill -9 it.) However, I haven't seen that during the last few weeks. Probably there's a version of OOo in Debian unstable that fixes it, or at least mostly.

I posed a question to the above address about raid1 support by the mainboard Tyan KWE 2895. The question was unanswered. Tyan USA blew off a recent question as soon as I mentioned Linux (the question really was particular to Linux) - they apparently don't see Linux users as important to support. - That being said, they do better support than most MB providers. I bought the very first 2x Athlon board they build and had hear problems in the case (basically, the board was killed by head, twice) They promptly shipped new boards, even where basically I was guilty of killing them. So (in Germany), I'm quite satisfied with their support.

Re: Finalize install questions
On Sat, 2004-12-04 23:29:48 -0700, Robert LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]: First, a program needs to be specifically written for 64 bits? Or by just recompiling using 64-bit libs usually good enough? A program needs to be *cleanly* written to compile on a 64 bit system. However, that's not usually the case, especially if the program was never ever tested on anything but i386. Also, not all programs run faster because of being compiled to 64 bit programs; to be honest, I expect that most programs would better stay in 32 bit because of memory size. If you *really* want to take advantage of the 64 bit Opteron, you should have an eye on the code GCC generates. At some time, it may be better to code core routines (for mathematical computing) in assembler or to use existing libraries that do exactly this... Second, to install a 64-bit kernel, you have to be running a 64-bit kernel using deb packages? No. 64 bit userspace needs a 64 bit kernel, but all other combinations have no further dependancies.
