Re: Don't use Matrox cards (Was re:dosemu)
Um, FYI Matroax *HAVE* now allowed the source code to be released, and the drivers for their cards are being worked on, (at last) so, you can use this to tell what card to get ;) -Barry Hughes When did this happen? I talked to a friend, just a couple of weeks ago, and he said he just talked to Matrox and they were pretty dead set against giving their support away like that. However, if I am wrong I admit it, and apologize for the wrong advice I gave. Shaya -- Shaya Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Atleast so far you can't get a XFree accel'ed Xserver.. I and a friend installed debian on his machine and then we came to that conclution.. And running Xwin in 640x480x8bit isn't all that fun.. so we scrapped that project..

Netscape Window size problem..
Hmm I have stumbled on a new problem... I used to have a 1280x1024 virtual screen but now I only use a screen the same size as my viewport(1024x768) so whenever I start Netscape3.0b6 Mail program it's window is too large.. Where is this window size info stored??.. I've looked allover but no go.. -- * Dan Bergman* * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4052/ * * * * Lister: Love is what separates us from the animals.* * Rimmer: No, Lister - what separates us from animals is * *that we don't use our tongues to clean our genitals. * *RED DWARF *
Few quick questions
Well its been a few years since I used unix.. so 1. How do I used FIND to find say.. core files and delete em I know that it should look something like this... find -name core -exec rm 2. How do I use FIND to find files bigger than 1024k and using -ok if i want to delete or not.. 3. In what ini file do I put my aliases so I get em all the time when I start a bash shell in a xterm window? and i'm allso intrested in all kinds of smart tricks to make things easier. I was thinking of putting in a Linux tips 'n tricks on my web page..
Re: Floppy won't boot with internal cache enabled

If I have the internal cache enabled in setup, I get the error invalid compressed format after the uncompressing Linux message. If I disable the cache, it boots fine. It boots ok from the hard drive either way. Anyone know what is going on? I don't see how this could happen with an L1 cache (internal), but it could with an L2 (external). Were you perhaps enabling and disabling the external? Try to enable it but make the timings more conservative. You're probably seeing hardware problems; your L2 cache is being addressed too quickly. Guy I had problems like this a couple years back when I was installing OS/2 on a Dell Machine (486,66mhz).. The installation would fail if I didn't disabel both L1 and L2 caches.. But I ripped out the TsengLab GFX card (VLB) and all troubles went away.. Ripping out gfx card is often not a option but the Dell MB had a Cyrrus Logic Chip on it...
Two Questions
1. How do I set up a boot so I can boot Debian or Win95? Now I have to use a boot disk to get debian to boot... 2. How do I change the diplay mode in XF86 from 8bit to 16bit color? I have a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM w/ 2MB and use 16bit color in win95 so there shouldn't be any probs to get it in X too..
