Two questions:
(1) I'd like to have multiple windows, with cut&paste and scrollback, but
without the overhead of X.  Ascii-based is good enough, as long as they're well
behaved (handle terminal emulation correctly, etc.).  Alternately, the virtual
console will do if I could have scrollback and cut & paste between them. 
Anyone done anything like this?  (Preferably mouse-able cut-and-paste.)  I've
heard of a package called "screen" - will this do most of what I want?  Has it
been ported? 

(2) Several months ago, someone posted about formatting 3.5" disks closer to
their actual capacity of 2.0megs.  Unfortunately, I can't find a saved copy of
this message.  So could someone tell me how to format a 3.5" disk more than
1.44 meg under linux?  Even 1.8 megs or so would mean 4/5th the # of disks when
backing up my system.

Thanks, and Happy Linuxing!

I have a ViewSonic 6E, and a Paradise 512K Vga
card and have been having a real problem with
my Xconfig settings getting X to run.  When I
run startx, X will start up and after a bit
I'll get a screen but it flickers very badly
and it looks sort of like those TV's where the
antennas are way out of wack.  I can see the
mouse and move it around, but no xterm's come 
up so eventually I escape with C-Alt-Backspc.

I get the following information back
from the stats displayed when I run startx:

Driver: pvga1
Clocks: 25 28 0 0 0 0 0 0

I'm using the standard VESA setting for 640x480x256
but no matter what I change on these I still have the
same screen problem.  X is working, but it appears
that my settings are off.  Anyone have an ideas,
pointers?

Subject: TCPIP & wd8003

hi.
thanks to Ross Biro, I've discoverd the reason for my problem.
still, it isn't solved.
the wd8003 uses irq3, io-port 2f8 hex, and at the same time there's the com2
serial line on exactly the same address. Don't blame me, 'twas the sysadmin.
Also, I think it will hardly be possible to convince him to change this ...

BUT ... the serial line is never ever used, there's nothing attached to it.


Therefore I just did some patches in serial.c, re- # defining NR_PORTS 1
so only ttys0 on irq4 with a different io-port will be used (and, even THERE
is nothing attached to the com1 serial line.)

I also added some printk's in we.c (net/tcp), and irq.c (kernel), to see what
is done with the interrupt.
At bootup, I can see that ONLY the wd driver (eth0.c) calls a irqaction for
IRQ3, not the serial lines. The serial lines are completely quiet.

But the printk in we.c at wd8003_interrupt() is NEVER called ...

* Remember, DOS is more tolerant on this. It works with both, the "silent" com2
* and the "talkative" :-) wd8003 board.

Any clues ? ... *sigh in advance*

There had been some complaints on the net that this drive would not
work with Linux.  Someone called Maxtor, and Maxtor suggested that their
new ROMs might fix things.  I put Linux on a disk dated August 1992,
and it was no problem.  I don't know about the earlier disks, though.

Subject: definition of fd_set is a trouble spot
Organization: Undergraduate Projects Lab, UW-Madison
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 1992 07:31:30 GMT

The definition of fd_set in <linux/types.h> is a bit of a trouble spot.
BSD makes fd_set an integer array to allow more open files/process than
bits/word.  Linux allows only 32 open files/process, so fd_set is made
an unsigned long.

If I haven't bored you to death and you're with me this far, the problem
is that some programs expect fd_set to be an array, not a scalar.  For
example, BSD rshd.c has the code sequence

	fd_set ready, readfrom;

	...

	ready = readfrom;

The intent is that ready be an alias for readfrom, but this won't work
if fd_set is a scalar as in Linux.  (BSD documents fd_set as an array
in the man pages, so I would say that this coding is legitimate.)

If it's not too late, we should kill two birds with one stone and make
fd_set an array.  This would also permit more than 32 open files/process.

Which comms program do you use? I use kermit to talk to a VAX running VMS
and I too get the 24 line problem. My guess was that it was probably kermit
which was at fault.

Have you also tried sending ctrl-O to the VT? (can be done by ^Q ^V ^O if
using BASH) This fixes some problems, but not the 24 line problem for me.

Actually, I can live with a 24 line VT. Unfortunately, what I see is
in effect a split-screen VT: one window of 24 lines and one of 1 line.
If the cursor moves into the one-line window at the bottom of the
screen then it tends to stay there (some programs, such as emacs can
still make use of the whole screen). A 1-line VT is very difficult to
live with!

It is my guess that the real problem is a bug in the kernel terminal
code. There may be other problems with this code, for example there
appears to be a bug in the code for the "do" command.

Look at the files Xconfig.Notes, README.trident, and modeDB.txt in the
directory /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc of your Xfree1.1 distribution.
Basically, your video timing values are off.  Calculating video timings for
the best resolution (given your slow dot clock) are explained in 
Xconfig.Notes.  At 1024x768 I would expect some flicker though.  Can
you live with 800x600? (you would probably have more luck with that resolution)

It sounds as if you changed userid's from when you tarred up the system
and when you restored it. I have noticed this problem when I untar something
I get off of ftp. If I am root and untar it the ownerships stay the same
as the person who tarred it up. Gnu tar has some option to stop this I
am sure, but I can't remember it off hand.

The magic match failure is caused by the way the kernel checks the root
device on boot time. First it checks for a minix file system, and failing
that it prints the magic match failure. Then it checks for an extfs.
Finding that, it should then boot fine. I presume that if you mounted 
a dos fs a your root device it would just tell you magic match failed twice.

Don't run fsck on your extfs partition. That program is only for minix 
partitions. Get the extfs stuff from tsx-11.mit.edu in the 
pub/linux/ALPHA/extfs dir.

	The one other possible problem is that if /dev/hda2 is big
enough, mkfs will run out of memory; you can get more room by hitting
Alt-F2 and typing "exit" to the second shell that SLS automatically
starts. (I needed this to mkfs 60M on an AST laptop...)
