I subscribe to the X-11 channel, read FAQs, and I dont have a mail
reader, so here goes:

Has anyone had any luck with x11perf ?
Is the MONO X version (aka v1.01Ya) capable of grey scale ?
I can't seem to make xlock work.  I am logged in as root, and it accepts
  a carriage return as a pasword.

Thanks Kindly, Ronan

To the first problem: Just ignore it. It doesn't make any difference if you're
installing from drive B: whether there is a disk in drive A: or not.( In fact,
it's making life more easy in the totally unprobable case of sudden reboot ).
Second: try to get a DOS-tar utility. Make a tar-archive with the files from
disk A3 and A4 on disks ( e.g. "> tar cvf B: a3\*.*" if all the files from disk
A3 are in the sub-dir a3 ). Linux can read these disks with his own tar; so all
you have to do now is mount the hd by hand, type a "cd /root", umount the 
floppy (/user), and type "tar xvf /dev/fd1H1440". tar should extract all the
files onto the hd. Now you can mount the floppy (otherwise you didn't have a 
ls). You'll have to install the .tpz files (e.g "cat <file>.tpz
|gzip -cd|tar xvpf -") and then follow the steps in the "/bin/doinstall"-script
after the "sysinstall" - command. At the end you should be able to boot Linux
off the floppy.
I know, this is quite a 'removing the symptom, but not the cause' help, but I
didn't invent SLS.

I got 64 MB of spare hard-disk space, some time, a working csh, but I don't
know where to upload postgres from. I don't have much knowledge of ipc yet,
but this could change ...

So: does someone know a site near (or in) Berlin, where to get postgres?

Has anyone installed the ncurses package at all?
I grabbed the one from tsx-11, and attempted to follow the install but, it
seems like some files are missing.  I'm supposed to cd to a certain
directory and type 'make' but the previous make didn't put a certain
makefile in the right place because it doesn't exist!  As a result, nothing
will work when I use the ncurses library.

Anyone who has installed it, please!! Help!  I'm probably doing something
really stupid....

I have been working on my linux system for some time, and I must admit that
even without xwindows it has been usefull to me, but now I am having some
problems.

I believe that I am working with version 0.99.3, I upgraded from a much 
earlier version.  I also upgraded GCC to the latest version.  Now whenever
I run anything, including gcc I get 
Warning: (fill in application) using old stat() call. Recompile binary.
How can I fix this short of grabbing everything again?  If I should grab it
all again, what should I grab (SLS?)?

Before this upgrade, I did manage to get X11 working in the lowest video mode
available in the XConfig, now it isn't working with anything.  I was curios why
I couldn't do better than ega level display when I have a SpeedSTAR 24 video 
controller (It is supossed to be et4000) and a Taxtan Multivision 550 (It 
thinks the monitor is the GATEWAY CS1572FS monitor in DOS.  I have horizontal
and veritcal frequencies of 
1024x768 mode: 57.5 Khz/72.0Hz (-hsync/+vsync) non-interlaced
1280x1024 mode: 48.9 Khz/43.5 Hz (+hsync/+vsync) interlaced

Does anyone know what to do with the sync frequencies?  

I have been looking in FAQ's and talking to friends and am still perplexed.

Please help.

Yes, there is.  At the time the jump-table libraries were first built,
I didn't feel that the C++ interface was stable enough to be included.
I'm still not completely convinced yet, but nevertheless, the next
release of the jump-table libs will probably support C++.

It is possible to get 57.6 and 115.2 computer<->modem speeds. If you
do an ioctl to get the serial info, TIOCGSERIAL, there is a flags field.
If this is set to ASYNC_SPD_HI, then setting the modem to 38400 actually
sets 57.6, and if ASYNC_SPD_VHI then 115.2. Write a little program to set
this flag then try running your comm software at 38.4.

Ron,
 I haven't tried x11perf, so I can't help there.
 I'm using the monos X386, and it is MONO - black and white - at least it is
on mine. I suppose that's why it's faster - less planes to mess with.
 On xlock - I got the same response - check the man page, I think that you
have to specify a password when you invoke xlock. I had assumed that it would
wait for you login password, but it doesn't.

Have fun,
Dave Gavin

Anyone Know of any drivers available for Linux for
a Colorado Jumbo 120?

Also, anyone know of a SoundBlaster driver for Linux?
Preferably one that will emulate say, /dev/audio?

Thanks.

     Note: the /MBR switch to fdisk is in MSDOS versions 3.31 and
	   5.0 that I know of.  It is NOT in version 4.01.
