Re: changing the default colour depth?
Hi, Whenever I start X it always starts up with a depth of 8, how do I change it to 16 or 32? I know there is a host of entries in /etc/X11/XF865Config and I have played with it. I thought X would look at the first entry in the file which has a depth of 16, however its using the information from the second entry that has a depth of 8. I hope this makes sense. I am using rh6.1 with gnome + englightenment. Cheers Nelson Adding the line DefaultColorDepth 16 (or whatever depth you want) to your XF86Config file does the trick. It's int the docs somewhere, but I got this from this list a while back. excerpt from my own XF86Config: # The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64) Section "Screen" Driver "accel" Device "ATI 3D Charger" Monitor "Bridge 17 inch OSD" DefaultColorDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "1280x1024" ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection Hope this helps Harold -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: the c libs - info?
Hi Stephen, A few years ago (which means I don't remember where I found it!) I found a postscript file of "The GNU C Library Reference Manual" chich can be downloaded. Its almost 500 pages, well organized and full of short examples. It's published by the FSF, author is Sandra Loosemore from 1993. I think I got it via FTP over at MIT. Try the GNU homepage or such. Good Luck! Harold Stephen King wrote: Hi, This is a tad off topic. I used to program in C using Borland3.1 and had a book that listed (with handy examples) all the lib functions that one could call - some standard, some pure dos and some borlands own version.

Re: Anyone Using XFree + SiS 86c6215 Video Card
hi you may find the server for the card at www.suse.com. If it works please let me know, as I have been unable to get X working after installing the server. -Aditya Raj Singh wrote: Hi, I have recently tried loading XFree86 3.3.2 (with RedHat Linux 5.0) on a PentiumMMX/166 based system (Intel YM430TX Motherboard). This has a SiS 86c6215 video controller on PCI. This is NOT recognized by XFree and it also does not allow SVGA X-server to run. The X-SVGA starts and then terminates with the message of unknown video card. Also, the card has 1 MB of videoRAM which is not recognised by SuperProbe (version 2.15). SuperProbe does find that the video card is from Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS), but also says that the chip set is unknown (please report). The entry for signature data is 6 (I have done the reporting to the given email addresses). The XFree86 web site pages have no info on this video card. Anyone with more info on this card and possible support under Linux for X ? -- Raj Hi all, I've been using the Mach64 server from SuSe and it works great. The SuSe people recommend that you use their own slightly modified xfconfig program. One thing I've noticed, and you might want to check this out, is that the symlink to the server is in /usr/X11R6/bin, not in /etc/X11 as in redhat. Another thing was that the config program had the wrong name for the server. In my case it was pointed to a server named XMach64, while the server installed by their rpm was called XF86_Mach64. Another difference from redhat is that the XF86Config file was located in /etc, not /etc/X11. hope this gets you going.

(more) X config questions for ATI 3D Charger
Hi all, I need to configure an ATI 3D Charger graphics card (ATI 3D Rage II+ chipset). I got as far as getting four identical squished screens into one after I added the line VideoRam 4096 to the device section of the XFConfig file. I later read somewhere that the accelarated Mach64 servers have a 1024K limitation. Is this true? I tried using the Mach64 driver from SUSE, which gave me a single screen but with a color depth of only 8 bits :-(. Commenting out the 8 bit subsection resulted in an error message: "8-bit default subsection not found". Could somebody please help me get this beast configured correctly? The chipset is supposed to be supported by XFree according to the supported hardware list for RH4.2. I have XFree 3.3.2 installed on a Redhat 4.2 system.

Bill Gates made me do it
Hi all! I had a really nice working system until circumstances forced me to fix that which ain't broke: Installing win95 didn't recognize the CD-ROM attached to my sound card. I had to buy a new MB and graphics card. The problem is getting X to work. After 2 days of trying things out, I have to ask for help. I have an ATI 3D Charger with 4Mb RAM. The chipset is an ATI 3D Rage II +DVD. Neither Xconfigurator nor MetroX seem to be able to get this thing to work. I've tried using the Mach32, Mach64 and the SVGA drivers without success. I get an error message complaining about not enough memory (0Kb !) to run in even the simplest modes. Does anybody have experience with this card? Could somebody please send me a working XF86config file? Please, please please, it's driving me nuts!

Need some sendmail help
Hi all, up until recently, I've been doing my mailing off-line by letting elm put my mail in /var/spool/mqueue until I make connection with my ISP, at which time I run sendmail using -q -v. The sysamins recently upgraded to the newest sendmail version which is stricter about who it accepts mail from (an anti spam measure). If the machine sending the mail is not found by the DNS, the mail is bounced back. Since my box is a standalone system at home, it isn't recognized and all af my outgoing mail has been bounced back with a 'Data format error' message. Is there any way to get elm or sendmail on my end to write the headers in such a way that they are known to the mail server? Currently I have the SmartHost option set to the mail server where my mail is recieved. The sysadmins advised me to set the From: line in the elmheaders file to my own mail address, which didn't work. They also told me to get rid of the masquerade option (which was set to the mail server name when this all started). This also had no effect. The following is what the header in the mailqueue looks like locally: V2 T896422628 K0 N0 P30315 I3/66/9936 Mhost map: lookup (tu-clausthal.de): deferred Fb $_harold@localhost Sharold RPFD:[EMAIL PROTECTED] H?P?Return-Path: harold HReceived: (from harold@localhost) by tigger.chris.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id IAA00241 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 29 May 1998 08:17:08 +02 00 H?x?Full-Name: Harold Weiss-Wallrath H?M?Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HSubject: test HTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HDate: Fri, 29 May 1998 08:17:07 +0200 (MET DST) HReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HFrom: Harold Weiss-Wallrath [EMAIL PROTECTED] HContent-Type: text HContent-Length: 48 I think (I'm no expert here) that the problem resides in the HRecieved: entry.

Re: CDE MS-Word97

I know that I can save in Word6 fromat from Word97, but I'm setting up a system for some novice useres and it's too complicated for them to do this every time.

Re: Looking for programs
Hi again I'm looking for a cupple of programs for redhat linux5.0 and i was hoping you ^^ start with xdict for spellchecking ;-) could help me. The programs I'm looking for is: 1) a ftp program for down uploading. Something like cuteftp try sprocket. It's like WSFTP - very intuitive. you can get it from http://jungfrau.ptf.hro.nl/sprocket. It's not an RPM and you'll need the qt libraries, which are available in RPM form. 2) a music program. I have a small keyboard connected to my comp, but sice I dropped M$-Windoze I have not been able to use it 3) A program for making a homepage. I want to make a homepage and I would like a program which allows me to make one more or less visually. Maybe Bulldozer is what you're looking for. It's at the redhat site in the contrib directory: dozer-0.7.2b-1.i386.rpm. 4) I'm starting school soon, so I have to get a good wordprocessor. can anyone tell me what the major differences is between: StarOffice, ApplixWare and WP Which one could you reccoment and why I use WP7. It's really nice, but it's a wordprocessor only, not an office package (i.e. no spreadsheet). There is a demo available at http://www.sdcorp.com I haven't tried the others though. Well, that's it.
