Re: xterm/tty problems
Something easy to check is the TERM environment variable. The value should have come across the rlogin from the originating session but that doesn't mean that it's correct. There is also a possibility that it's being reset in the .bashrc/.profile scripts. To check it: $ echo $TERM To set it: $ export TERM=vt220 Good luck, Brad. --- Alan Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A colleague at work asked me the following, and I couldn't quite remember how to fix it.

I installed MPlayer and compiled my kernel to enable dma. I then figured out how to use hdparm to enable the dma on hdc and still have the thing set to scd0. So, I now get the movie going just fine at the right speed with audio. Very nice for about 15 seconds and then the audio cuts out. The video keeps going which makes me think that the bus speed is ok. Anyone here know anything about this? Maybe MPlayer is a little complex for the job. I was going to try Xine, but I saw that they don't decode. I had to install the lib for css separately for MPlayer too; so maybe that is what you do with Xine. A little followup on this. I tried ogle and xine and have worse problems with them. It boils down to my hardware being insufficient for the job - seems to be the video hardware. I'm doing two things. I'm getting another movie - an earlier one that may run. The reason I think it might is that this one I have now for testing would not run in Windows and I had two other movies that did. So far even with the 4MB graphics card that I have - PCI, I have gotten the video to play with sound using mplayer in linux *if* I use -framedrop which will drop frames in order to sync the sound and video. That is a lot more than I got in Windows using PowerDVD. I bought an AGP video card with 32Mb of video ram today. I'll try it first in the Microtel and leave it there if it works right. If not, I'll put it in my other computer and move the drive back there. In this process I've learned quite a bit more about video thanks to a helpful person on the mplayer list. I've been wondering for a few years ever since I put my computer together - what AGP was. I never bothered to look it up. Well, now I know. Very handy info when you are trying to do heavy video work. I may go with ogle after all is said and done, because it really is a very simple program to install and operate. Nice thing about mplayer, though, is that you can use it in console mode.

Re: MechWarrior 2
Did you ask in the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine group? They might know. Whatever you do use the most current version of Wine or Winex. If you get some time, that would be great. If TransGaming says it doesn't work very well, I don't think I'd ask you to spend much time on it. As for whether it's an acquired taste, I own it, I like it... but I let it go a while back because I had too much to do to play in-depth games much. Although seeing MechIV has caused me to rethink that. I think I need to try Mech3 Mercs or just get MechIV (although I don't feel like sending Microsoft any more money). What I've seen of MechIV looks like it's indeed better than Mech2. I like the Mercenary idea.

Re: Plugin question
Well, the plugin question was solved, and macromedia flash works fine, and so far no crashes, but only time will tell. My confusion was that the plugins in opera's plugin directory were not appearing in the plugin list in preferences. This seems to be because opera uses lippnpp.so to access all the plugins in the opera plugin directory. So, in the plugin list, all you see is libnpp. However, things seem to to work. I just wish there was a howto somewhere which clearly explained this stuff. For example, opera seems to make no distinction, in its documentation and installation, of plugins and standalone applications. Maybe it just doesn't explain standalone applications. This all seemed much clearer with netscape 4.75. I suppose this confusion is really progress, cleverly disguised.

According to that page _NO_ xircom cards need or use serial_cs for anything. Also, please post the relevant output from dmesg where your'e seeing an error.

I'm using the same (slightely adjusted for the latest sendmail version) sendmail.mc file I used until now, with specifically FEATURE(`delay_checks')dnl in the sendmail.mc file and To:linuxix.2y.net RELAY Connect:linuxix.2y.net RELAY in the /etc/mail/access file per instructions of /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README file: delay_checksThe rulesets check_mail and check_relay will not be called when a client connects or issues a MAIL command, respectively. Instead, those rulesets will be called by the check_rcpt ruleset; they will be skipped under certain circumstances. See Delay all checks in the anti-spam configuration control section. Note: this feature is incompatible to the versions in 8.10 and 8.11. According to me and the instruction above, all checks should be postponed and I should be able to put mail in the queue while away.
