It's the serial controller chipset that limits it. I don't remember OTTOMH which it is and the machine's at another location I can't check at the moment. I can check later if you need, but if it you have such a chipset, then it's not a wvdial problem.

I have an For a couple of days, before switching back to wvdial. I was getting 10-11k throughput on news overview too, almost as good as the Pentium. Well then, your serial controller should be a fast one. Maybe it is wvdial, or whatever it uses to detect serial port/modem capabilities. I was under the impression that the sun4u's have 115200 serial ports. Am I mistaken? The mistake may be mine. I'll have to check that machine again to be sure. It's a Solaris box with free ppp on it. I'm *sure* it will only do 38400 since I had to d**k around with Sun's stupid aspppd until I gave up on it and put a working ppp on it. I'm not sure about the arch, though. It may be a SparcStation 10 (sun4m) - it's been awhile since I've looked at it and for some reason this detail escapes me. I'm trying to arrange to replace it with an Ultra running Debian. Does anyone know what multi-port cards work with sparc linux, say 2.4.0-testx?

Weird working of X
I'm using windowmaker on my ss10 with a cg6 framebuffer. I've noted a strange behaviour of X. When I run Wmakerconf or gimp1.1 and the mouse is on the application window I get the window correctly displayed and tha background has all the colors inverted. When the mouse is out of the window on the background its colors are ok and the colors of the window are inverted. I've had the idea that it could be a gtk problem. I wrote a small program with gtk, I ran it and it worked. Does it happenat o other people this fact or just to me? Do you know why it happens?

Is there a way to get wvdial to run at a higher speed on this machine? My ZyXel TA128 runs at 460800 baud on my Ultra5, which is the maximum rate the TA itself can handle. I only use pppd and chat. My guess it that wvdial tries to set/negotiate the baudrate, as it probably should on a PC, with a limit of 115200 baud. You could try using wvdial as a chat replacement. Perhaps forcing the ttya/b-mode on the PROM, or with `eeprom`, might perhaps(?) help as well, if your modem supports the speeds you set it to. Good serial cabling is also very important at higher speeds, but that might be obvious :) Pieter

What you are experiencing is a palette change. Basically, there are only 256 possible different colors that can be displayed at any one time. When your applications are in the foreground, they are adjusting the palette so they can show as many possible colors for itself. This has the affect of turning the rest of the colors to garbage (since they are still using the palette, but the colors don't correspond to what it expects). This isn't gtk, it's the X system doing this. I think you can disable this somehow, so all apps use the same palatte. Doesn't look very good for things like gimp, since it limits it's own palette, but it'll avoid the palette shift. However, since I've always had atleast 16bits (65k colors) when I use X, I'm not sure what the configuration is to change it (maybe email debian-x, if someone here doesn't know).

I'm pretty sure the 256-color limit is a cg6 Sun hardware limit and there's nothing you can do to change it.
