Re: [newbie] Single Network Firewall
What kind of cards are they? I've never heard of a P166 handling one PCI NIC let alone 3 !! If these cards are in fact ISA, then it should support 1 or 2 but even so, I can't see it handling 3. Linux may detect them, but I'd be impressed if it could actually run that many at all. My home router runs FreeBSD 4.5 with 2 PCI network cards, in a 486/66.

Re: [newbie] Sound trouble, again, plus joystick
did your integrated i810 sound card get turned on in the bios? I would first disable this card in the bios, then try to reconfigure via Mandrake Control Center. On Monday 17 December 2001 06:14 am, you wrote: I've got a Soundblaster Live card, plus an integrated i810 sound chip. I'm using the SB exclusively - I don't want to have anything to do with the latter. The sound configuration on my system, which never worked adequately to start with ( =midi nonfunctional), has gone from bad to worse. One day when I started up the system, Linux decided suddenly to detect the i810 to which it had until then paid no attention. Now the situation is that whenever I start up the system I have to run sndconfig to get _any_ sound at all out. The configure functionality in HardDrake can't do anything at all about it: when it tries to play an 8 bit sample with the i810, I get 'sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': Permission denied' (and no sound), and when it tries the same thing for SBLive, I get no errors, nor sound. Now, I'm absolutely losing patience with this PoS. Could someone advice me how to get things in working order? It would be absolutely wonderful to get instructions on how to remove _everything_ related to sound and then reinstall the drivers/whatevers _correctly_ from scratch. Also, I can't figure out how to get my joystick detected. It's an old-fashioned non-USB affair (a Gravis with a rudder wheel), and I have two joy ports to spare, one in the motherboard, one in the SB card. +Cinquo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] NVIDIA - Making Head-Way!
I really have no clue... but I'll throw out some suggestions anyway. Take these with a grain of salt. Try setting X to run at the same color depth, and resolution as UT, and see if that fixes it. I believe on a lot of these, the color depth must match. The color depth is configured in XF86Config-4. The resolution can be cycled by Ctrlaltkeypad +. It will cycle the res's you've configured for use.

Under 8.1 I was told I had to run XFdrake after installing, pick a resolution and then restart X. I did that but nothing changed. Then I read on Nvidia's site that I should edit the X86Config-4 file, chaning the driver from nv to nvidia, then add glx to the modules secition. I tried both ways and still did not see the NVidia splash screen. I'm sorta' lost now. The driver installed without error.

AFAIK, memory leaks can be created anywhere C or C++ are used (and probably many other languages). Yup, I just tested that. Linux does not appear to make any attempt to stop memory leaks. I wrote a quick program with an infinite loop that dynamically allocated some memory. Watching top, its memory usage climbed dramatically.
