Interesting. But why doesn't XFree86 clock the cards to their
abilities by default, and calls it "overclocking" instead?

I'm glad I've got the MAX :-)
I've also fiddled with gmgaclock and can tell you that it is
definitely possible to lock up the system with it ;-)

Hopefully someone can help me. I just installed cdrecord 1.8 on a
Solaris 2.6 machine last Friday. Burnt my first CD with it this morning
- worked like a champ!!
Went to pass the CD off to the powers that be and the first question I
was asked was "Did you label the CD?"
um
I thought that I had read the man pages fairly well, but apparently I'm
not looking at the right option.
How do you put a label on a CD??
Thanks for the assist!!

I have been considering trying to install Linux but the more I read in the NG's for
linux the more
apprehensive I become.I ain't no genius and it seems as though there are a lot of
problems with
installation and hardware support and all.Is it really worth it?What is so special
about Linux that
makes people change over?Is it faster,stronger,got more bells and whistles?What is it
that people
see about Linux that makes them decide to switch over?
I really am serious with these questions.If I can get some idea about what's special
about Linux,
maybe I'll give it a try.Any help with this would sure be appreciated.

I've got a Panasonic KX-P4410 Laser printer (it is old, but it works
well) that I can get to work with Redhat linux via their printtool.
However, because the printer makes poor use of its memory (having only
512kb), it is impossible to print out pictures, etc. (on text works
good) with it. I was wondering if one of the available queing programs
can feed the printer only a little bit of data at a time so that I don't
get buffer overruns. I currently use lp (or whatever the most common
one is). I've tried to get pdq to work, but have not had much luck with
it. BTW, it is postscript capable (or at least it seems to be).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi.
I hope someone can help. I can't seem to get Linux on my laptop. It's
an HP n3270. Nothing works. I've had it for 6 weeks now and never even
used it :/
It has a Trident Cyberblade i7 agp card in it. I saw support for the
card on the xfree863.3.6 card database screen. It seems to have
installed but I get this error now when I try to run startx. This is
with Mandrake... That was the only recent version that had 3.3.6 xfree
86.
Error:
You must provide a "Screen" section in XF86Config for at least one of
the following graphics drivers: fbdev
Fatal server error:
No configured graphics devices.
Please help.

Hey guys,
I need some help! I just bought one of the new AMD 'EasyNow' PCs. It's
one of those 'non-legacy' PCs running on an AMD K6-2 450 and it's
soo slow! Let me give you some specs first:
AMD K6-2 450
512k cache
128MB PC100 SDRAM
SiS530 sharing 8MB ram
4.3GB Seagate HD on an SiS5513 controller
SiS900 10/100 ethernet card
SiS7018 sound card
USB Keyboard & Mouse
I'm running SuSE 6.3 on it (kernel 2.2.13 and Xfree86 3.3.5)and it's
unbelievably slow! It takes about 12 seconds to get from the login
manager into X with KDE! In comparison, my PII 450 only takes about 2-3
seconds!
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I know that it could be the
crap SiS530 video chipset but when I'm running ktop, I find that syslogd
and X are taing up the most resources (up to 45% each!).
Could it be the effect of the USB mouse? Every time the mouse is moved
or a key/button clicked, a message is written to the console. Could that
be what's eating all the resources?
I just don't get it since so many people seem to say that it should be
almost as fast as a PII 450! Please help!
Cheers!

I cannot get the sound system to work in my linux box which contains an
Aureal Vortex PCI card. I'm running the Slackware 7.0.0 distribution. I
downloaded and compiled the linux driver from linux.aureal.com; built with
no errors. Followed install instructions exactly and still no sound: I
have no sound when using KDE, Gnome, or Enlightenment . . . nor can I
listen to CDs, which is even stranger considering the cdrom is directly
connected to the sound card. Sound system and CD player works fine when I
use the "other" OS also in box. Anyone have any ideas?

You didn't mention the NIC I consider to be the best in the industry ...
and that's the 3Com 905 (could be B-TX or C-TX or straight 905-TX).
Before I'd pay 69 bucks for an Intel NIC I'd get a 3Com NIC for the about
the same price that will not only out perform all the other NICs (when
splitting hairs) but comes with free tech support and a lifetime warranty.

Also the way that BogMips is calculated has changed in the latest

Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 10:27:42 GMT
I'm trying to configure sound on a Dell Precision
410. It
comes with an on-board sounc card (CS4232). Using
RedHat 6.1 and snd-config setting up sound is very
easy.
There is only one major drawback: The internal
speaker
refuses to emit anything than a single
during sound
initialization. The line output does work.
Has anyone succeeded in configuring sound in a way
it works with the internal speaker? Any hint?
(I *know* the internal speaker is connected to the
sound
card since if I setup NT on the same box it does
actually work)
Thanks for any hint!

If you are lucky, the printer will take a long time to render the
picture. If not, it will have a postscript error. I did some minor
postscript with 4 mbytes and it would take 30 minutes to render. After
a 64 Mbyte, memory it would only take a minute or so before it would
start.

I'd think it's bad RAM; do as the other poster suggested and try
memtest86.

Bogomips has NOTHING to do with processor performance. My K6-2 400 shows
799.54 Bogomips; a friend's PII-400 shows about half that. His seems to
perform a bit faster for many things. There's a Mini-HOWTO about Bogomips
at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO .

I have made some small progress. It seems the module gl518sm is not a
g1518sm! So thats fixed, and I'm now getting readings for 3 of the psu
lines (but they're all zero) the sensors module is also modprobed into
the system.
Unforch, the cpu voltage and temps are the only things actually working.
The circuit must be noisier than all get out, the cpu voltage is
reading as much as 1/2 a volt above what I can read with a meter, and
the cpu temps are showing in the high 60 to low 75's in centigrade, in
other words well above the alarm temp which is for obvious reasons,
disabled.
The cpu has a new fan on it too, and
