Sounds par for the course to me.. - UT2003 major suckage under Linux was why we moved our development environment at work over to Windows.. - Developers aren't happy if they can't play games at lunchtime ;) One 'fix' is to dual-boot windows, but you probably don't want to do that :) - Run a lower res? Also note that sound can make a big diff too.. - the one developer who hung onto Linux until the last minute (everyone else switched to windows and kept their linux env in vmware..) was messing around with alternate sound configs, and did manage to get his framerate up a heap, but still noticed a pretty big difference when he finally made the move to Windows (which was prompted by his motherboard dying, and the new (i845E) mobo's IDE controller not being supported by the latest 2.4 kernel at the time) Cheers, Damien -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG.

Re: [SLUG] USB CF card readers on Linux
Hi all, On Tuesday I asked about Linux support for compact flash (CF) card readers on Linux, particulary this one: http://www.adelong.com.au/Products_Dec_2001/MM/MMGEN038.htm which is available for $55. Well I can now say that this device is now connected to my iBook (running Linux) and working for CF (I don't currently have other formats). The things I needed in the kernel were: usb usb-storage (this is the main one) scsi scsi-generic (CF cards appear as SCSI disk) dos-partition tables (CF cards have DOS partition table) vfat (and a vfat file system) Once all of that stuff is loaded, the CF card just appears as a disk. Very cool indeed.

Re: [SLUG] iiNet - not Mozilla friendly
Have you still got the serial cable that came with the modem? If so you need to plug it into a spare serial port, bark up your favourite comms program (like minicom) and connect at 9600,8,N,1 You can then do a itex mode auto at the prompt and then config save at the prompt and it should change the way it detects the line sync. Our customer was on Pacific Internet connecting to the Hornsby exchange, and it worked fairly well. After rebooting, the line sync came back and stayed back. If you want to check your itex mode before changing it, I have forgotten the command, but google or dlink.com.au may help. This may of course have nothing to do with it, as you could just have line noise from the rain we have been having (or something else completly).
