I have a card similar to this ("EVgA et4000 local bus") and it works fine.
CLOCK.EXE is useless for finding out the clocks, but by removing the Clocks:
line (from the config file), X386 will try to find what clocks it can.
Sometimes it won't find a couple of clocks, but if you run it a few times
you'll eventually get them all. Put this line in your Config file and you
wont have problems later detecting clocks at startup.

As for localbus vs non-localbus, I don't know. Everything seems pretty fast

Hmm.  Seems like a good idea to me.  There are a few key combinations
DOS distinguishes for which we don't have unique escape codes, and
that would have to be dealt with.  But certainly converting the escape
codes back is a good idea.

The problem is that shutdown still wipes the CMOS on some people's
machines (including mine).  It doesn't for a lot of people, but it
still does for many.  Since I don't like having to reset my CMOS
settings all the time, I am left with syncing and powering down.

This has been asked about a zillion times (I know), but why not
again...  Does anybody have any idea why shutdown/reboot/halt/CAD can
wipe the CMOS settings?  Does anybody think there will ever be a fix?

Nope - the msdos filing system within linux can't handle anything but
raw DOS partitions.

However, you can run the disc compression software from within a DOS
emulator process; I haven't tried Stacker this way, but my own system
(DRDOS + SuperStor) runs without a glitch under the emulator.

It's great - I get drives A: and B: (floppy), C: (emulator boot
image), D: (SuperStored DOS drive), E: (main DOS partition) and F:
(Linux file system's /usr/dos), all running happily together under
Linux.

I had the same problem. It is that rc is started by init with /dev/tty1 setup
as stdin/stdout. But xdm returns immediately after starting because it is a
daemon putting itself into the background. That means that the rc script
returns almost immediately after calling xdm and init closes /dev/tty1. So
when xdm starts xterm that doesn't find a valid console (just do it and look
at the 'ps -ax' output: you will see that there is no console attached to
xdm and therefore couldn't be attached to xterm either). And it's not xdm
which fails but xterm which couldn't find a console. And because xterm is
called as the last process in Xsession, it returns an error to xdm which then
shows up the login window again.
But from where to start xdm then? When doing it from a normal login, xdm
tries to access the console the same way as the underlaying bash is doing.
That makes it almost impossible to enter anything at the login window. But
removing the tty from inittab isn't a solution either because then there is
no way to start xdm. To solve this problem I wrote an alias of the following
form:
	alias xdm='xdm; exec </dev/tty8; exec >/dev/tty8'

Now when starting xdm, it returns immediately and the shell attaches the
stdin and stdout to /dev/tty8 which is normally not used in the inittab.
So xdm is attached to the current controlling console and the shell is
redirected to /dev/tty8. That also means that if xdm closes the server
due to some error, you will find your previous vc with <ALT+F8>!

In the past day i learnt a whole lotta things about monitors and got tons of
Xconfigs. Thanks to all the people trying to help me!

Since my mbox got corrupted i cannot forward my experiences (though they are 
still poor) to the people who asked me to. The trick was just as easy as can be!
Fiddling with the available clocks made the miracle happen! Since I was able to
reproduce getting a stable display on another fixed-freq-monitor my assumptions
are the following:

	- Cheap monitors use cheap circuits
	- Cheap circuits cannot handle high clocks
	- Cheap monitors give a still satisfying display when fed with low clocks

So that`s all. No new values in Xconfig except of using a lower clock. I now got
800x600 at obvious 56Hz (no flicker appearing) at a clock of 20(!!) MHz.

Hope this helps some other poor guys like me...

pcnfsd is a daemon running on an NFS Server to implement:

   -  user authentification
   -  print spooling

for PC-NFS (or equivalent products, e.g. FTP's INTERDRIVE). The source code for
pcnfsd  is normally distributed via the PC-product or can be FTP'ed over the net.
If you have a BSD-like network interface, porting should be trivial.

As there are some version of the PCNFSD code on the net (look for Version 2) which
have been posted by SUN Microsystems, I guess that the code is freely distributable.

If you want a quick&dirty fix, edit linux/kernel/chr_drv/keyboard.c,
find something like this around line 1042:

	if (kbd_flag(KG_ALT))
		if (vc_kbd_flag(kbd,VC_META)) {
			put_queue('\033');
			put_queue(ch);
		} else
			put_queue(ch|0x80);

and change the if-comparison line containing VC_META into:

		if (1||vc_kbd_flag(kbd,VC_META)) {

It seems to work for me. Obviously there are plans to make it
possible for every VC to have its own setting for the meta-key,
but I couldn't find any ioctl or other stuff to select the state...

Btw, I just managed to `lock up' Linux pretty bad when I turned
on the RAW keyboard mode with ioctl. It was my own stupidity/
ignorance, of course, but it might be a good thing to have some
"backup"-key which would turn on the XLATE-mode again.

I have 20 MB Ram in my 486/33 and an Adaptec 1542 with an SCSI drive.
Therefore I have the #define in the kernel not to use more than
16 MB of RAM, because of the DMA.

Is it possible to put a ramdisk in the last unused 4 MB and mount it
as swap-space ?  Even with my 16 MBytes sometimes my system has to
do heavy swapping.  (Gcc compiling xphoon or libtiff (xv-2.21),
Interviews' doc when opening one big or several documents, ImageMagick
when doubling a 1000x600x24bit picture ... ;-)

If it is possible, how can it be done?

Naturally I would prefer if I could use all memory for Linux,
but as I understand the current scsi-drivers don't have provisions
to handle i/o from memory above the ISA-Bus adress space by
copying it through buffers.  This kind of double-buffering would
surely be slower than direct DMA, but I assume it would still be
somewhat faster than paging programs in and out when more memory
is needed.

Hello all,

Thanks to Linus, I managed to get 0.99 up and running.

However, I don't understand how what he suggested worked.  Linus
suggested that I make sure that I include FPU support, since init()
will die if I don't have the hardware or the emulator.

BUT - I HAVE the hardware, so I wasn't including the emulator.  I run
a 486-DX/33.  DX is 'supposed' to include a BUILTIN FPU.  And regular
MS-GROSS utilities report its existence.

What gives....does this mean that Linux isn't using the 486 FPU? 

Oh, and thanks to everyone who replied to my original post!!  

Especially to Linus!! Good Job!!

NNTP-Posting-Host: 129.89.2.33

Hopefully, not too many people have read my original (cancelled) message...
To summarize more civilly... The newsgroup comp.os.linux already *has* split.

There now exists a new newsgroup called comp.os.linux.announce on which you
and your friends may spot the latest developments in Linux without having to
wade through 150 articles per day.

<sigh> When will I learn not to post before I've had my coffee?

I'm missing digest 670 to digest 757 from Volume3.  Can somebody that have a 
copy hanging around please mail it to me.  I'm trying to keep track the
development of LINUX, and planning to install it on my new-machine-to-be.

Thanks.
