Re: [expert] Why is Netscape 6.0 so slow?
Netscape 6.0 rendering engine is written in Java. When you load a Java based program it must load the Java Virtual Machine which is not fast and eats about 25-32 megs of ram (at least on a win2k workstation it does).

Re: [expert] Why is Netscape 6.0 so slow?
If that is true why does Nutscape 6.0 load the Java VM (again this is on the win2k version, my linux workstation is scrubbed so I cannot compare)? It might not be the renderer but some part of Nutscape is using the Java VM. Also its renderer is not even in the same ball park as NS 4.75 let alone IE. Its slow crap. I'd much rather use Konquerer or IE or Opera or plane old 4.75. It renders pages far better then standard NS though but its still very buggy and very slow. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 12/24/2000 at 11:57 AM Mike MacCana scribbled: Netscape 6s rendering engine is NOT written in Java. This is complete bullshit. Its written in XUL, a DTD for XML. Yes, Netscape 6s UI is slow [its rendering is faster than IE], and requires RAM. Mozilla 0.6 seems *much* faster in the UI department. If you want fast HTML rendering with full standards support, go for Mozilla 0.6, Galeon, or the Mozill KPart announced last week.

Needless to say WinME after 2 reboots is happy as a clam. This MB seems to cuase USB and AGP issues.

So I can do 2D fine but no gaming until I can get the NVIDIA driver sorted out.

Re: [expert] I think I'm going to kill myself!
maybe this will help - I enabled the HD optimizations during my Mandrake 7.2 install. Unfortunalty under heavy HD load my system would experience CPU spikes that would reneder everything inoperapble for 1-2 seconds at a time. This was very anoying and not what UDMA is supposed to do. My xfers were also pretty slow. So I dug into /etc/lilo.conf and saw that Mandrake and put a kernel option in there that reads : append=" ide1=autotune ide0=autotune" . I dug into the Linux Mini-how- to for UDMA and found it stating that one should try this instead: append=" ide0=dma ide1=dma" . So I created another entry in lilo.conf and replaced autotune with dma and rebooted. I then chose that linux opion on reboot and Wow what a difference. Just like things are supposed to be. I copied about 200 megs of mp3s from one IDE to another and I had 0 interuptions. and teh xfer is very fast. :) No it could be my older ata/33 and BX chipset don't work well with the autotune parameter but using plain old dma works much better. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 11/19/2000 at 4:42 PM Jeff Malka scribbled: I agree don't do it.

Re: [expert] Use of make oldconfig while compiling a new kernel.
Ok here's how it works. You'll need the .config file from the Mandrake install you have. I forget offhand what dir it is in but I belevie it is /usr/src/linux. Copy that file to the new source tree and the type make oldconfig. The new kernel will only prompt you for items tht are new to the kernel in regard sto rentries in the .config file.

Re: [expert] NVIDIA question
Rubbish. I could give a dead rat's ass about whether a driver (or any softrware) is GPL/OS or not. Nothing but OS/GPL FUD against NVIDIA or anyone else who chosses to do a binary distribution. Shit we (the linux community) scream for better hardware support from the vendors. NVIDIA ponies up (one of the few companies) and is providing a driver for linux that equals the windows driver in performance and what do we (the linux community) do? Rape them for not doing it "our" way. I'd love to have a driver from HP for my new P1000 Photosmart printer. I'd stuff it onto my box in a second, OS/GPL or not. Why? My shit would work the best with it instead of having to resort to a driver for a printer that hasn't been made for 2 years and getting weak quality. Yeah that is what I want. Off course when I boo t WinME the printer works great. NVIDIA's driver puts to shame any GPLd'd driver out there and I can use one driver for any of their cards. Has anyone ever considereed that to OS/GPL a driver it needs to acutally work and have good specs and documentation? NVIDIA is not a big company and my guess is that they will do the Binary route until they feel comforatble opening up the surce to the OS community. I'm sure they do not want to do that and have the driver suck becuase their code is poorly structured and their specs are inaccurate. I've used enough bad OS/GPL drivers to know that OS/GPL is no magic cure for what ailes you. If that dirver is touched by a non expert or it has bad specs supporting it your fucked. And to those who think OS/GPL menas you get the latest drivers is FUD as well. Check the date on the current Tulip.c that comes with Mandrake 7.2 It says 1998. That driver is under constant updates from Syclid but it does not get into the current kernel distro. Each of us has a choice to use GLP/OS only everything. If that is your choice then that is cool with me, you got to live with yourself, I don't :). IMHO NVIDIA should be given credit for providing the best 3D driver on the market for Linux. That driver was the last hurdle for me to stop using Windows as my main OS and move to linux. I did not sacrafice frame rates or stability and I get to use Linux. I guess I could have spent 250 bucks for a V5500, got the same frame rates as I do on my TNT2 Ultra and be using an OS/GPL dirver. I'll stick with NVIDIA.

Re: [expert] cdr writing
You might be getting buffer underruns. I haven't seen one of these with Xcdroast so I'm not sure what it spits back when it deos hit one. Try putting the cd contents to Disc then burning from there. When I do cd-cd copies under Windows I have to do this or I get underruns. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 11/13/2000 at 2:54 PM Klar Brian D Contr MSG/SWS scribbled: I am having real problems trying to burn a CD-R.

Do not I repeat do not do everything this script (nv_check.sh) tells
you. The very last step talks about "duplicate files" it finds
specifically : /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so.1.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGL.so.3. If you

your running KDE (other Wm's might be affected as well). I had to put

It seems as you have messed XFree (Mesa) GL-GLX and nVidia's one.
Please, could you send the output of the followig commands ?:
If you look at http://www.realityx.net/howto.html you find a script
(nv_check.sh) that checks for duplicate GL files (Mesa files that
conflict with nVidia's files) amongst other stuff... Download that,
run it and do what it tells you to do.

Re: [expert] Shutting down LM 7.2
No problems here shutting down with an expert install.

I have to use the switch to shut down and suffer check forced on reboot. It seems there must be entries (and files) missing from rc0.d. Can anyone help me to fix this please? Thank you. OK, answering my own question, I found I was missing killall and halt in rc0.d and killall and reboot in rc6.d. All works fine now but why would LM 7.2 miss important details like that?
