***TUTOR MODE: ON
Simple calculation (learnt from video tutorial):

How many horizontal pixels you want? = hpix = 1152
Dot clock? = dc = 110,000,000 (MHz = 10^6Hz)

        line_frequency = dc/(hpix/0.8) = 
                    110000000Hz/(1152/0.8) = 76388Hz =~ 77kHz

Which is clearly more than 65kHz. (also called horizontal frequency I
think)

        Refresh_rate = line_frequency/(no_of_lines*1.05)) = 
                                     77kHz/(900*1.05) =~ 81Hz

So 77kHz horizontaly with 900 lines will give ~81Hz (vertical) refresh
rate.

110MHz is clearly for superior monitors. 

Now you know all you need to know about what frequencies you can use
for what monitors. Lucky you! :-)

***TUTOR MODE: OFF
***SPECULATION MODE: ON

Going the other way: dc=110MHz and 65kHz line frequency given: You
need at least 1360 (1353 rounded up to be devidable with 8) horizontal
pixels to get down to 65kHz. 1Mb memory allows you 771 lines of 1360
pixels.

100MHz (and 1152x900) gives 69kHz and 73Hz respectivly. Which is
respective, but still demanding.

***SPECULATION MODE: OFF

But what is magic with 1152x900 (sun uses it?)? On most screens that
dosn't give square pixels. My monitor has 3/2 form factor, and is
limited to 57kHz horizontaly. I want square pixels, so after
calculating a bit 1120x746 seems to be ideal for my card/monitor
combination. Figuring out what my dot clock is and my vertical refresh
is left as an exercise for the reader :-)  (easy pie!)

	At the moment I have just installed Linux 0.96c
and have it booting from hard disk. I followed the recent 
installation instructions and now have a problem.

On the machine I have OS/2 DOS and Linux, before I put Linux on 
the machine would start with the OS/2 boot manager and you select 
which partition you want to boot from. 
	Now Linux wini starts and indicates boot: and you select
which partition you want to start from. OS/2 is only available from
the boot manager and if you  select it, you get the boot manager anyway
and still have the option of booting DOS OS/2 and Linux (redundant booting!).

	In other words it is like having TWO boot managers at start up
The Question is ?
	How do I fix it so I only start with the OS/2 boot manager 
and still be able to boot Linux without problems?
	
	All replies greatfully appreciated.

Hi all,

I was wondering if it would be possible to install a Adaptek 1540 card in 
my 386 system with an 8mm drive in order to get Linux to do backups on?

I am pretty confident that installing a SCSI card should be quite feasable,
but I would want to get my 8mm tape backup unit (the office loaner in fact)
to work from it.  As you can imagine, I am not a hardware person (or a big
Linux'er for that matter).  I would really appreciate some constructive 
comments on this.

Thanking all in advance,

Doug!

P.S. One last thing, I would like to thank all who have replied to my 
previous posting (a question in fact) on 'Help mounting floppy' for the
fantastic (read helpfull) response.  I would also like to thank the 
contributors of Linux for a GREAT OS.  I am fun like I use to when I first
started in cs.  I was missing the occasional hair pulling exercises :-}

Or PLEASE CONTACT ME (use my HOME address below).  I wrote the VESA patch
(and use it every day on my Diamond Stealth VRAM).  I used the April 1989 DDJ
article on VESA support to write the VESA BIOS calls.  I have since gotten
the internal S3 specs, but I still have no answers as to why only the 01xx
video modes are in my BIOS capabilities list.  I put in one special hack
for the 132 column modes (which claim to be 1280 pixels horizontally, instead
of 1056).  I want this VESA code to work on EVERY VESA compliant video board.
Of course, you board MUST support the VESA extensions in its VIDEO BIOS in order
for this to work.  Boards that support VESA BIOS extensions through TSRs are SOL.

Please let me know what your problems with the VESA support are, and I will try
and keep the support correct.  Opinions always welcome (as is a copy of the
VESA video BIOS extensions spec as well), and any and all VESA standard mode
numbers and resolutions.  I've tried to keep my list up-to-date (since the
article in DDJ was from a preliminary spec and is incomplete), but I'm not sure
how modes 02xx and 03xx are covered by the latest VESA standard.  But if they
are returned by the VESA Capabilities function, then they should be supported.

In Pcomm:

Went to setup screen and entered modem as:

Exitted Pcomm and started again

What might I be overlooking?

Thanks a zillion to anyone who can help me...

Unless the documentation and installation program are good enough,
I don't think such kind of releases will help the image of Linux.
Anyway, Linux is still under beta, even though it is extremely stable

  Not having the docs for linux mmap(), I'm at a disadvantage here, but
unless they are totally different from the BSD/V.4/Xenix flavor they
adrs can be NULL to allow the system to use any part of your virtual
address space it wants. That sounds like a really good place to start
changing things. Then take that MAP_FIXED out of there and see if it
works better.

  I have never thought of a good reason why someone would want to decide
on the location of a mapped file, and it's always extra effort to find a
place to do the map. Just pass in and address of ((caddr_t)0) and
eliminate any problems caused by the address diddling you're doing.

  Ignore this if the current mmap() doesn't use the conventions other
systems do...

If you use stdio, I believe everything is buffered by default. You can use

1. setbuf (fp, NULL);
2. setbuffer (fp, NULL, 0);
3. setvbuf (fp, NULL, _IONBF, 0);

to turn off the buffering for status window. Pick one you like.

That was me.  I did try XMenu but it caused some very odd behavior
(like Emacs often failing to refresh its window) so I took it out.
The Emacs INSTALL instructions say "it works on some systems, on
others it doesn't" and I just let it go at that.

Um, it seems that AT&T may have decided to get touchy about use of the word

well be an invitation to problems should AT&T decide to contest the use.

While the above may seem a triffle silly or extreme, I should point out that

Cathy,

It seems to vary from root disk to root disk.  Try ".bash_profile" on
Jim Winstead's root, though you may have to change your shell name in
/etc/passwd to "bash" instead of "sh".  On MCC, I'm not sure.

The profile should be in your home directory, which is "/" on Winstead's
root, and may be something else on MCC, I can't remember....check
"/etc/passwd", your mileage may vary....  [sighrin]

I got so many enthousiastic replies that I actually uploaded some of
