Subject: Problem with Diskcopy on Drive A: Object Menu
Organization: DSG, Stanford University, CA 94305, USA
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 92 21:13:06 GMT

When I try to copy a floppy using the Copy Disk option on the Drive A:
object in the WPS, it starts diskcopy a: b: instead of diskcopy a: a:.
It prompts

Insert SOURCE diskette in Drive A:

Insert TARGET diskette in Drive B: ...

Is there a way to change this? My a: is a 3.5" whereas b: is 5.25; I 
would have expected OS/2 to react accordingly when I choose Copy Disk.

Thanks for any help,

Regards,

Bill

Subject: New TSENG 4000 drivers: non-interlaced/70Hz?
Date: 9 Nov 92 17:30:19 GMT
Organization: Rohm and Haas Company


I've used selective install to install the new high res TSENG 4000
drivers after installing the Service Package for OS/2 2.0.  Unfortunately,
I have a lot of flicker.  I'm not sure if my monitor is interlacing or
if the refresh rate is too low.  I know that my monitor, a Sony 1604, is
capable of doing 1024X768@70Hz non-interlaced and I assume that my Diamond
SpeedStar Plus (1 meg) should also support this resolution/rate/mode.

The documentation that I have for the VMODE program is pretty skimpy.  Is
it safe to assume that I'm just not using VMODE correctly for my monitor?
Right now I make a call from STARTUP.CMD to VMODE 38 70 which I thought
would set the card in 1024x768@70Hz but I'm not sure how to tell it not
to interlace.  I've done SVGA OFF, VMODE 30 70, SVG ON from a full screen
DOS session too but I'm still flickering like crazy.

If someone could point me in the right direction and possible send me more
info on using VMODE to get 1024x768@70Hz non-interlaced I'd appreciate it.

No, LPT2 should be on IRQ 5.  You've got it right.

You might have a bad cable or an interrupt conflict.  Swap cables with
a known, working one.  Also, double check everything in your system to
make sure nothing else is trying to use IRQ 5.

No.  Way.

People used to complain that X386 under Linux had slow scrolling
speed.  It was about 2-3 times faster than OS/2 windows.  Then it got
about 3x faster in a single release.

My windows scrolled faster on the 16-bit GRE than they do under the
32-bit GRE.  And they were slower under the 16-bit than the "slow"
X386 windows.

I'm running on a 33 MHz LocalBus 486DX with an ET4000, and the speed
STILL sucks.  The WHOLE POINT of having a coprocessed video card that
can scroll screen regions in hardware is to do fast scrolling without
having to repaint the entire window.

Whoever wrote that scrolling code really dropped the ball.  It is NOT
my hardware.

If you are not having problems, don't apply any fixes.  Wait until the

December.

I've installed the CSD and am not having any problems.  But it doesn't
seem much different for me than the previous release with bug fixes or
the 2.1 beta,although I do notice that a few bugs have been fixed. 
Most of the bugs I noticed in the original OS/2 2.0 were not much more
than annoyances or curiosities, although other people had more
problems with some of them.

There really are quite a few people who happily use OS/2 with no trouble. 
I for one have not had any trouble at all since I installed the service pack.
I believe that this has a lot to do with very fortunate choices of hardware 
when I purchased my system (way before I had ever decided to go OS/2).
My rig at this point:
AMI 386DX/40 with 8M DRAM
1 105M Teac HD
1 135M Segate HD
BOCA SVGA ET4000 video w/1M
and of course floppy drives, soundblaster 2.0, and a cabletron fiber optic 
ethernet card.

I was epecially lucky to buy a video card that IBM explicitly supports. Most 
of the problems I have seen have been video related....

just my 2.0*10^-2 dollars worth...

Subject: qmodem and keyboard polling

When I use Qmodem, I notice that pulse is set to 100 % CPU usage. This is
to be expected if qmodem is doing keyboard polling (which I assume it does).
I also notice, however, that even after I terminate qmodem the pulse line
quivers for a little bit and settles in at about the 75 % usage mark. Nothing
else is active, just the WPS, pulse, and the system clock. This happens both
in GA and with the beta.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? It looks as if I may have to
use one of those killem programs to get rid of the qmodem threads that are
left hanging around. Any suggestions?

Subject: TE/2 vt100 emulation problem
Date: 8 Nov 92 16:24:16 GMT
Organization: University of Pittsburgh

Until last week, I was running Procomm's vt100 emulation under MSDOS
across a 2400 baud modem. This week it's TE/2's vt100 emulation under
OS/2 across a v.32bis modem. Everything works as advertised, except for
a serious problem with screen redraws in vi. Can anyone help?

The specifics are that parts of the screen are often (but not always)
blacked out as I move across them (either with cursor movement or when
entering text). The area affected seems to be from the left margin to a
bit more than halfway across the screen. Sometimes when I enter text,
each character is displayed briefly and then blacked out; other times
several characters linger briefly and are then all blacked out at once.
This doesn't happen every time I use vi, but it's very frequent. It
usually occurs when I am editing text; if I am appending new text at
the end of a document, everything works smoothly.

In all cases, the characters are being transmitted properly; if I escape
into control mode and repaint the screen explicitly with control-L, they
all reappear where they belong. Needless to say, escaping into control
mode and repainting the screen using control-L is not the way vi is
supposed to work.

I have "redraw" set in vi and I can't find any other settings to
twiddle. The mainframe I'm talking to is running Ultrix 4.2. I'm using
the vt100-nam termcap setting. I can't prove that the problem is with
vi, rather than with the termcap settings in general.

I like TE/2 in general, but I use vi constantly and the problem is so
frequent as to be a serious impediment to getting my work done. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,

David

I was not entirely correct when I said this.  Full screen paints appear to
use this interleaved method, but scrolls don't.  Instead, it looks like a
scroll is performed by redrawing the window from the bottom up.  Not a
bitblt to be seen!  I find this unsightly as well as horribly slow.  I've
stopped running TE/2 in a window because it's just too slow.

}I have been playing with Linux and X386 on a 486-33 recently and the speed

}happening at the time of the update. So a long multi-page directory listing
}may be done in 2 or 3 updates. Compared to OS/2's 50 updates for the same
}action, it makes xterm much faster. 

I thought that was something that X Windows did routinely.  Maybe it's
implementation-dependent and the implementations I've seen all do it.
I certainly agree that the technique avoids "wasted motion," so to
speak.

}When using full screen OS/2 sessions, I can get 128lines scrolled by in
}0.78 seconds. I certainly can't see everything that is displayed. If I want
}to I will pipe the output somewhere. In a windowed session, it scrolls each
}line. If it just displayed the whole screen as it should appear at the
}_time_ each update starts then the screen would scroll maybe 25 lines at a
}time and things wouldn't be so slow and we'd be able to see as much as we
}can from a full screen session. It's rediculous to redraw the screen for
}every line of output if it's coming that fast.

Well... I don't want to argue the point since I agree fundamentally that
when data are coming into the window fast enough, then line-by-line update
is "wasted motion."  However, when the data aren't coming in very fast, at
2400 baud say, then line-by-line may be the way to go.  Notwithstanding our
possible disagreement on this point, OS/2 windowed VIO & VDM sessions are
so slow that it's impractical, even at low data rates.

>What have I done (if anything ) and what can I do to fix this?

You might have a "zombie" process (a process that Shutdown can't
remove, for whatever reason; it happens on the best of systems
occasionally).  Simply select Shutdown, then CTRL-ALT-DEL (after the
disk has stopped churning, if at all).  On the next bootup, use
CTRL-SHIFT-F1 (as described in the OS/2 README file) to prevent any
open applications from restarting.

That should do the trick.
