Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 02:50:56 +
Has anyone seen an app around to monitor stats such as CPU temp for
Linux. I made a quick and dirty app to read the following for my system
and was wondering if there was anything like it out there. If not, I
would be happy to make it available to everyone. Don't know if too many
people are interested, but I have an overclocked PentiumII Celeron 300A
running at 450MHZ and I'm always curious as to how my system is
running. Who needs an OS that can run for over a year without rebooting
if you are always rebooting to look at the stats in the BIOS? Here's a
list of the things the app should report:
CPU temp
Motherboard temp
Powersuplly temp
All power supply voltages
CPU fan speed
There are a few apps like this for Windoze, but haven't seen any for
Linux yet. I was going to write a small device driver so any user app
could get the stats. I plan on writing a GUI in with the gtk.
Don't want to waste my time if it's been done.
TIA,
Nathan

Can't help you with the zip-drive, but if your drivers are on the same drive
as your linux is, then copying them over is no big deal... Just mount the
windows '98 partition, and you'll be able to access all files on that
partition... /Check man mount for details, if you are unsure about mounting)

Hi,
I'm a new user user to Linux and I have just installed Red Hat 5.2.
I use a 17"" monitor with an old(?) MGA Matrox Mystique video card with 4Mo
video ram.
The largest resolution I can set with XConfiguator is 1024x768. Under W98, I
use the 1152x864 resolution.
So whenever I switch from one to another, I have to modify the monitor
settings.
Please, can anyone tell me how to get my Matrox mystique Card to work at
1152x864.
Many thanks

Why wait for redhat. Just get the xwindows stuff from ftp.xfree86.org.
Its about 2 months old now.

Dear everyone,
I've got a enhanced 386 memory adapter for IBM MCA machines. There should be
a patch for linux for these adapters. I can't seem find the patch. I know it
is a horrible one, but now i can throw them away for linux.
Please help me !

Is this natural or is something wrong? I wanted to be able to read it from
other CD drives.
How old is your CD-ROM drive? I don't think many, if any, can read
a CD-RW disk created in a CD-RW drive. If you make a CD-R disk, then
I would think you should have very few problems unless you have a really
old CD-ROM drive. I have made several music CD's and they have played
in CD players several years old. I think it has something to do with
the reflectivity of the dyes used to make the CD-RW disks.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You did precisely that when you asserted, erroneously, that I am a

You, sir, contradict yourself. You aren't even worth bothering with.
Have fun in your self-righteous fantasy world.

I have a HP dj400c printer and had a bit of time getting it to print
other than ascii. I had 3 configuration problems:
1) I didn't have ghostscript installed.
2) I was using the HP 400/500/ printer driver that came with my
RH5.1 edition (what a mistake!)
3) I also neglected to edit my /etc/printcap file to point to the
new/correct driver I downloaded (magicfilter-1.2)
Note: I used the printtool utility which automatically writes my
/etc/printcap file.
Anyway, I took care of all 3 of these problems and I can now print from
any appilication in Linux.
Hopes this helps.
cul8er, Jeff
