2000-03-17 Thread Hoyt

Dude, you are mistaken. A V1(Blech!) has no 2D support. It's a 3D (quite slow nowadays, too) only solution. A V2 has no 2D support either. You could use it for Glide (ha!) support. However, you're not going to use it in a 2D dual-head capacity. Your Ultra TNT2 will blow either one of these

Hi, I am reporting a success with XFree86-4.0/TNT2. The only problems I noticed might be because I am still running mdk6.1. One thing I am asking is, where is the driver called "glide", which allows X to run on a Voodoo or Voodoo2 board ? I've read about it on XFree86.org, but can't find it anywh

Well, looks as if supermount ain't going to work for me. As such, need the old "floppy mount" program for the kde desktop. It was in the 6.0 version and had more menus rather than just an entry for the "/mnt/fd0". One could specify the mount location, filesystem type, etc. instead of having to

BTW, it does appear that the ls120 is able to use the hdd optimizations (since it is an ide drive). Am i correct on this? The one stipulation is that the drive does NEED to have a disk in it at "startup time" of the mdk o/s, or else it will return an error during the hdd optimization script. (W
