This USED to be an NT (phewy) server that I would like to get back into use as a more useful linux server where I work. what I would like to know is if anyone has any experience in installing on this system. I tried to install northern linux from hard-data on this beast and it was a dismal failure from the get-go. What kind of problems am I going to run into and more importantly will someone here have some answers?? I understand from trying this before that this particular alpha is kind of an oddball of alphas.. comments?? -- "It's nice to be important but it is more important to be nice." -Ziggy as much as i hate to admit it linux is getting to stand on its own but for your alpha server i would really recommend either freeBSD or netBSD "unix type OS" either one is really stable and can't go wrong.. good luck mike keener wb6iik

Re: [newbie] matrox millennium G200
tnx for the good info jason but there appears to be either an interface and or aplication error within the program, because when checking xf86config it reflects 8 meg however when doing harddrake it shows 4 megs... thanks again for the input regards mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can manually modify the XFree86conf file so that it will utilize the full 8 megs. If you want to see where you need to do editing type in grep -n -e 'VideoRam' /etc/X11/XF86Config If you want to quickly generate a modified XFree86Config script try typing in something like: sed 's/#VideoRam4096/VideoRam8192/' /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.new with the statement to search for being the same as the line that grep returned.
