Hello,

I have a Grafikcard Paradise with a WD90c33 Chip and tried XFree2.1 with the
SVGA-Server.

When X starts, the Server aborts immediately with a message "not supported chip-
set". Specifying the wd90c31 Chipset in my Xconfig file, then the server starts
only with the background coming up, but hangs afterwards.
I can't specify the right chipset line in my Xconfig. 

With the VGA16 Server my X starts, but I only have 16 colors.... :(

Can anyone help? Must I wait for a new XFree Revision or can I get
the right Xserver somewhere else?

Bye,

Christian

Yes, it is a LOT less expensive and less maintenance.  We have over 136
serial ports and 2 separate ethernet channels on our box which runs
our Hospital (Unix, of course).  We do not use terminal servers, but do
have lots of ASCII/graphics terminals plus Xterminals.

Well, no, not really.  You can define the WordPerfect functions to any
keys you want.  If you do not like function keys or special key combinations,
then don't bother.  Instead, use the pull down menus with <esc><=>.  Or,
start up the X version and use point and click.

That is also incorrect.  WordPerfect does indeed use termcap/terminfo.
Haven't you even gone into the wpterm program yet?  You can say
print = <F14><F7> or the like, without having to specify what <F7> is
or how the terminal deals with it.

Use the wpterm program to define your own settings based on the Linux
console map.  Also try the X version which is included with WP5.1 for Unix.
Also try the pull down menus with <esc><=>  (you will probably like this).

Well actually, this is the problem that I posted about. The discs were
formatted on a RISC PC not on an Archimedes... Hence it looks like the
RiscPC does not skew sectors.

Having said that, there is a way to specify the skew within linux.
Look at /etc/fdp(a?)rm and you will find a config file with drive
parameters in it. It may be possible to tune them so that the linux
box will read DOS discs formatted on the RISC PC, I may well look
into this at some point.

The way I do it is downloading the newsbatches every night. My news
software (INN) will update the necessary files and stuff like that. I
read the news and reply to them (like to this one). Then around four
o'clock in the morning INN will run a job that will gather all my
replys and follow-ups and dump them in one big file and send them up
to my news feed.

Most of you will recognize this as a UUCP site!! This can also be done
on a network.

Is this want you meant, Brian?

X always starts on the first free Virtual terminal. It even reports
this during startup one of the first lines is (Using VT 5). The normal
linux kernel has 8 virtual consoles. Each VT that doesn't have a
process running on it (e.q. a getty process) is considered a free VT.
As already stated by Ziniu, when your not running X you switch between
VT's with <ALT-Fn> where n is the number of the VT you want to go
to. When you are running X, you switch FROM X to a ascii VT using
<CRTL-ALT-Fn> where n is the number of the VT you want to go to. To go
back into the X session you press <ALT-Fn> where n is the number of
the free VT X picked up to run on. So if you have VT5 free and you
start X from VT4, You will see the startup messages from X on VT4 and
you will see a message there stating that X took VT5, Now you can
switch from X to say 1 using <CRTL-ALT-F1> and you can switch back to
X using <ALT-F5>. This also worked with 99.pl14.

Pizza Hut Delivery's use a AT&T UNIX system of some sort, the
restaurants use something older I think, but probably is also a kind
of UNIX.  The PHD's machine works as a database of customer addresses
and eating history, so when you call PHD, they know your address the
moment you give them your phone number (after the first time) and know
what you ordered the last time you called.

To tie this into Unixware, my grandmother was almost lured into buying
it the other day.  $250 she doesn't have. I'll be sure to install
Slackware for her when/if she gets a new machine. Nyah nyah nyah.. one
less Unixware user to count.  ;)

   Ah, so you get a new home with each terminal?

Look, the whole point of this thread -- what little there was -- was
that color ls was a huge, bloaty thing that betrayed the
features-are-bad legacy of V7 UNIX.  Although it's actually kind of
amusing and perverse that it's turned into complaints about the
limitations of color ls (perhaps making Peter's point), the fact is
that most people using Linux use the console or color xterm and not a
Televideo 925 or (insert your own archaic terminal name here), and
even if they did most terminals don't support color, and even for
those that do there isn't a standard termcap string to describe color
sequences, so it really would be an effort all out of proportion to do
color ls 'right'.

Patrick's comment is silly, of course.  What you *can* do with HPA's
version of color ls is set the LS_COLORS environment variable
different for each terminal.  That doesn't change the basic ANSI-ish
escape sequence used to initiate the color change, but that could be
wedged into the variable as well.

Was at CompUSA yesterday evening and - right there in the middle 
of some Compaqs and other PCs - was a CRT with an AIX login prompt.  
Somehow I guessed that this wasn't an item of merchandise.  Of course, 
I tried to login using a few obvious UNIX login/password combinations, 
but no luck...

I'm not a GUS user, but an excellent setup for games that is also
fully supported by Linux is the SoundBlaster Pro + Turtle Beach Maui.
The SBPro is cheap, has a Panasonic/Sony/Matsushita cheap CDRom connector,
and nothing sounds much better for synthesized sound effects because
all the other cards just emulate it (including the SB16's, which I have
heard many people complaining about the SBPro emulation).  The Maui
provides very good quality wave-table general midi music, doesn't 
require any TSR's under DOS to run games/etc... (which is a big problem
with the SoundBlaster AWE32 card), and is cheap (about $140-$150 U.S.).
The only major complaint about this setup is that it does require
two slots.

: *I* wouldn't.  I was amused to note that the POS terminals at MicroCenter are
: Wyse 60-series (probably WY-160s) terminals, and that the POS application is
: written in Progress...  Leaves little room for anything *but* Unix, probably
: SCO.

I seem to recall that either MacDonalds or Burger King (I forget which)
used Xenix on their front counter order-entry systems. Maybe to get Unix
experience, a person should flip burgers :-)

Hello everybody........

Last week we've installed a SCO-UNIX Server at our offic. The maintanance of
SCO-UNIX is very handy I think - I wonder if there is something like the
sysadmsh out there for "our" Linux?

Bye

One of the writers for Unix World, Ray Schwarz, used to sell an accounting 
program made up of shell scripts and awk scripts for about $80.  I remember 
a friend of mine was pretty pleased with it at the time.

You can contact him (rays@uworld.com) to see if he still sells it.  (Let us 
know, too.)
