[expert] Shockwave Player for Linux Campaign
Got this from an other list: --- One of my dwindling requirements for Windows is that our family likes Shockwave games on a few sites and Crossover's plug-in costs money. (Boo!) I saw a story about this on Newsforge and thought that we all can do something about this.

RE: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk
I am curious as well about your reason(s), but I can see three things that could annoy me: - It is not scriptable. - It requires a GUI on the UNIX side either X or frame-buffer. - It requires a mouse on the UNIX side. bye. /Sebast : [ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]### Sub : IDE device names in Linux LOST #084 IDE devices (HDD/ CDROM) Linux names 1.

[expert] Dual video, onboard and PCI ?!
Hi, Does anybody know if and how can I enable my onboard video card while also using my normal PCI/AGP video card?? I want to try the dual video thing, but I can't get my onboard video to work *while* my PCI/AGP board is in my PC!? They both work separately, but not together!??! Any ideas?!?! Is it even possible?? Thanks... Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Dual video, onboard and PCI ?!
Thanks for replying James. My motherboard is an ASUS CUSL2 with an Intel 815E chipset, the i815E chipset contains an 4X AGP grahpics (onboard) and an AGP Pro/AGP 4X slot for upgades. My main video board is an ASUS V7700 Deluxe GeForce 2 GTS AGP 4X. My BIOS has an option to enable/disable the onboard video, I already enable that... Thanks. /Sebast. Sebastian, What's the motherboard you are using? Some in BIOS have settings for one over the other, one or the other or both. I'd check that as well. But without know the motherboard no one here will know if it can. For what it's worth. I don't think you can do AGP slot plus onboard because electrically they may be the same thing. PCI + onboard should be possible however.

To go from a 2 NIC PC to a 2 NIC with the Zaurus the only thing I had to do was modify the file /etc/shorewall/masq by adding a single line: eth0 192.168.129.0/24 Now the only issue is that if the Zaurus is both connected and turned on before and while the PC boots, the usb0 interface is not configured properly. I suspect this to be a minor problem with hotplug. Once the PC has finished booting if I turn off the Zaurus and turn it back on, hotplug configures the usb0 interface properly and every thing else works fine. Shorewall side of things seam to work fine.

[expert] Potential serious problem with Shorewall.
Hi, Using Mandrake 9.0 and Shorewall 1.3.8 First of all let me specify that since I had trouble seting up the firewall and the Internet connection sharing using Mandrake Control Center and the wizards I decided to do it all manually. Attached you will find my configuration files which I beleive demonstrated the problem. My PC has two or three NIC: - eth0 connected to my cable modem. - eth1 connected to my hub. - usb0 connected to my Zaurus, this interface is not permanent, it is there when the Zaurus is turn on and plug in the PC through a USB port. But as soon as you un-plug the Zaurus the interface disapear. It was all working fine until I decided to connect my PDA (SHARP Zaurus SL-5500) on the network using usbdnet. Initially it worked fine but I eventually removed my PDA from the docking station and turned off the PC. Next time I booted the PC Shorewall failed with this error: Shorewall restart ouput START - [roothydrogen shorewall]# service shorewall restart Processing /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf ...
