perspective of the very knowledgable people on

Does XFree 4.0 (the "xinerama", I think, feature) actually
support dual head on a Matrox G400? I own one and tried to
get it working but I seem to remember reading that we had
to wait for Matrox to release their XF 4.0 drivers. Can
anyone confirm or deny this 'cause if there were a way to

I seem to remember having the same problem w/ the
CD I got from Comdex. The way I got around it was
to copy the contents of the CD to harddisk and then
chmod 755 the setup program. I couldn't figure out
why I couldn't run it directly from the CD either.

One other possibility: you should have SMTP service provided
by your ISP. You can set up sendmail to use your ISP's mail
delivery service. One tool that may be helpful in setting it
all up is a utility called install-sendmail. Go to

You could always try "slash" - the engine that runs slashdot.org at
http://www.slashdot.org/code.shtml . Probably little to no support,
but at least you don't have to start from scratch. Requires MySQL,
apache and mod_perl as I recall. Might be too much work, but maybe
worth a look.

This can be caused by any process thats eats up so much
memory that the system does not have enought resources to
respond to even keystrokes. It sounds like you may have
a process (maybe squid) that is either leaking memory or
is using up a bunch. Issue the "top" command (once it has

If I am not mistaken the coda filesystem was
