[expert] Init Scripts
Hi, Is it possible to start a quake3 server using a init script. Everytime I try it says it starts, but it truly hasnt. I believe it needs a console to attach itself to. Which can be done after the system is fully booted, but I would like to use the trusty Sys V init style. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

[expert] Quake II
Has anyone gotten quake II to run in open GL mode with a non-voodoo based chipset ie tnt. I havent spent a great deal of time on it, but all the README's I read are quite dated to the time that there were no other OPENGL based cards. I cant quite get the GLX drivers to take. I will be damned if I can figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Gavin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ENTER.NET - "The Road to the Internet Starts Here!"

Re: [expert] Why is ld-linux.so.2 a process?

I've noticed that process viewers such as top list a process called "ld-linux.so.2" on the Mandrake system. It normally uses 14 to 16 percent of system memory (128 mb) and approximately 0.5% cpu. There was never such a process on my RedHat systems. I realize that this is the filename of a library, but why is it listed as a running process? Any help is appreciated.

I was astounded at first, but as I thought more about it, I decided to do the same myself. I have mirrors of most everything, and real tape backups for only configuration data like /etc. I would suggest looking at Amanda. Its a little troublesome to configure in the beginnging (not the best READMEs'). Once you have it configured it runs like a dream. It also supports compression. We use the same DAT tapes you do.

[expert] Slashdot Article
I just read a very interesting thing. It has an article about geeks and autism. I dont think it really has anything to do with being a geek. Being a geek is a seperate issue. I consider myself being technically inclined. I can relate to a few of the symptoms... Problems with small talk, but being able to talk about an issue for quite long. I used to smell everything before I ate it, I have trouble dealing with my relationship etc. I know I am getting personal on some of you guys. Its amazing to how many of these symptoms you can relate to. Also read some of the comments. The article is ok, but some people who have been diagnosed with it talk about there symptoms which I feel are more realistic. http://slashdot.org/articles/99/09/13/1223215.shtml -- Regards, Gavin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ENTER.NET - "The Road to the Internet Starts Here!"

[expert] X - Monitors
I've asked this question once before, and was wondering if anyone has had the same problem. On my home PC I have a Diamond Viper v550 and a Viewsonic PT771 both are supported directly through X. However when I am in X my monitor never kicks into a Preset mode ex: P8 Vesa 800X600. It always goes into these user modes. Its fine but my monitor automatically saves the screen settings in the preset modes, but not in the user modes. Its a real pain in the ass every time I have it go into DPMS mode etc. Then it comes back online all screwed up. In windows it goes into a Preset mode for every setting, but I havent found any in X. I have tried screwing around with different sync ranges. Does anyone know what to try??? Regards, Gavin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ENTER.NET - "The Road to the Internet Starts Here!"

Re: [expert] Problem with emacs console-mode
I finally got around to working on this. I reinstalled Mandrake due to a major hardware upgrade (plus I really hadn't touched the original install). I used Mandrake 60-2 for the install. Downloaded it from a mirror on July 31. I doubt your initscripts will have any effect on this. This sounds like maybe you should remove the emacs package. Download the source and recompile it. See if you get any strange warnings, or errors. Thats my .02 Gavin I still had problems with exiting emacs in console mode but at least this time it didn't lock up the console. So as one person suggested I used MandrakeUpdate to install the updated packages. The only packages it said needed to be updated were XConfigurator, initiscripts, netscape-common and netscape-communicator. So, I had MandrakeUpdate dl and install the new packages. I tried emacs in console mode again and still got a fatal error when I tried to quit. Will rebooting fix this since I got a new initscripts package? Or is there a newer kernel package that I should try even though MandrakeUpdate didn't find one.

Congrats. ;) I installed 6.0 the other night and it works perfectly except for a pretty major problem with emacs in console mode. The problem can be fixed by updating the kernel package. There was a minor problem with kernels prior to 2.2.9-23mdk. While at it, you should also update the initscripts, sox and lilo packages. LLaP bero
