ahh, but you have 2 i128 cards...damn. I would love to get this baby to work with a nv11 hooked to a MLA...that is what is giving me hell.
I have settled for using 1280x1024 and streching it to 16x9 because if I bump it up to 1600x1024, the picture gets cut off on both sides (the MLA does not seem to recognize this is at the right aspect ratio and still tries to scale it. if I turn scaling off, the picture still gets cutoff on both sides, but it only displays in the middle of the panel (like I had scaling turned off for 1280x1024)).
oh well. btw, where did you get a PCI version of the i128 card?
have you gotten this to work well with Linux? I have one and I cannot get it to work 100%...either the scaling is off from the MLA (multi-link adapter) or the picture is not at 16x9.
any XF86Config-4 or other info would be greatly appreciated.
I have had great luck from a company called Afortable Portables. I have bought a few great little machines for around $500. Their website is at http://www.aplaptops.com/
And I don't work for these guys nor do I have any financial interest in promoting them.
why would I choose macos on intel when none of the apps are ported to that platform. it is like getting the worst of both worlds: 1) pripriatary OS; 2) no apps.
actually, SGI has an in house port of IRIX for intel called IRIX-LE for IRIX little endian. it boots in multiuser mode and everything.
so, SGI could put IRIX on the Itanium, it just does not make much sense since there would not be the application capture that SGI hopes to get from Linux.
every time I have seen Ransom Love speak, he has not impressed me at all. He is a pompous ass who does not "get" open source or the GPL.
I asked him at a forum at Linuxworld a couple of years ago how Caldera dealt with the stupid US encryption laws (this was before they relaxed them). at SGI, we were in serious shit with the US for violating US laws because we were distributing open sourced encryption via linux. Mr. Love said that he saw no problem and thought it would not be an issue. He obviously does not pay much attention to what is going on.
Love also said that he thought the installer and other Caldera "value adds" need not be open sourced. why is he in the linux business anyways?
In any event, Love really needs to get a clue about who is paying his bills. If it weren't for the GPL and thus Linux, he would not be where he is today. I agree wholeheardedly with RMS when he says Caldera is a parasite...they live off of the work of others and don't contribute back.
we are trying...since we are basing one of the
patch sets off of rh, most of the ac changes are
in there. ac said he may take xfs into his patch
set.
it is probably time to resend him a patch based off of 2.4.5-ac4 or something. but, it is really hard to keep up with the ever changing ac patches:) steve lord was at once, but alan said to lay off for a while because he did not need one that applied cleanly to every ac version...he could do a little merging.
maybe with 1.0.1 coming out, we will have a stable enough release to get it into ac series or even baseline.
Well, it is not entirely correct. In fact, IRIX 6.3 was a fork that worked only on the 02. IRIX 6.4 was for the release of Origin 2000. IRIX 6.5 was the first all platform release since 6.2 and 6.2 was the first all platform release since 5.3.
So IRIX did "evolve". Just on different platforms. And Linux is better tracked due to the open development method.
If you look at the IRIX that was developed for the last two years for SN1 (O3000), it was done almost
completely separate from mainstream IRIX 6.5 devolopment and then pulled back in (in an incredibly painstaking manner) to the mainstream 6.5 release for 6.5.9. You just don't know this happened because it was all inside of SGI.
A VPN is a concept where you can encrypt all the data between two computers on an insecure line and create the illusion that the two machines are on the same private network. Generally, VPN's are used for businesses who want to let their employees work from home and have connectivity inside their firewall. This can be detected by the ISP because of the ports you need to have open on your host.
Whereas, it seems from Roblimo's response that he wants to be able to Masquerade IP's. This, first of all is impossible for your ISPto detect even if you were doing it. Secondly, this does not constitute a VPN.
I went to Electronic Boutique here in San Francisco and was looking for Linux games. They
had only one up on the shelve (Railroad Tycoon).
I already had that one, so I went up to the counter to ask the sales guy if they had any more. He said, "Oh, we have one in the back -- Quake 3. Do you wanna see it?". I said sure and he got it out. Then I asked him why it was not on the shelf and he said that they were afraid of the special box being stolen.
This is ridiculous. Of course Linux games won't sell if they are not displayed in the stores! Then again Fry's has a big display for Linux and Linux games and they seem to go through their stock, so who knows?
I recently linked the web page for SGI's B1 sample implementation on OSS. Here is the URL http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ob1/. You can find some source for a sample implementation.
I found an old archive of a dos system and looked in my "standard" utils director. Of course acidwarp.exe was there. So I grabbed it and tried it out under linux.
WINE actually ran it of all things in a direct draw window. SWEET! Of course, it is only in a 320x200 window, but I'm impressed it ran at all!
The problem with this latest move could be really BAD:
This decision only applies to binaries. (i.e. no source can be exported). So, Microsoft and IBM get their way. They can get the US to sign off on a product and ship them across international lines. Microsoft, IBM, Sun, and all other closed source firms become content with the state. They are no longer on our side.
Worse, they actually have an advantage at this point. They may fight to keep source from being exportable. That way, their closed source binaries have a better chance of going out. This already happened once when the US gave an exception to banks. Now banks don't care about crypto and no longer lobby Congress.
I mean, look at Red Hat now. They are up shits creek because they are going to be told they cannot ship Linux outside of the US. Worse, the US may make them shut down their international offices in Europe and Japan that they just set up because they export crypto source to those sites.
I think this is going to hurt the open source movement which is tied in many ways to the US. And if people really look at what is going on (and the US begins to enforce the law), all Linux operations will need to move off shore or risk not being able to compete internationally.
i have been trying to dl the iso from caldera's site -- not only is it slow as a dog, but it keeps stopping about 10-20 megs into the dl...server must be taking a beating we need mirrors!
The characteristics of Subnetting of IPv4 did not offer much with options and the option with respect the allocation to the IP address, the allocation, or to the establishment of a network in general. And whereas Subnetting the network (the subdivision of the IP address of the network of the father) released the congestion, provided the operation wins, and improved management. Unnecessary to say, these were in fact significant advantages them principles walking gropingly. However, allocation did not make anything increase to the number of the addresses of the IP it to establish a new network, that is to say, it offers another outer connection: the network of the father. Nevertheless, it provided with the IETF a foundation, if it were exploded, would have avoided the necessity of an urgency fomented by the explosive growth, to put a new scheme of direction in execution of the IP.

> A media player that supports the Sorenson codec - definitely.
I have the codeweavers crossover plugin and using that, I can use the latest Apple Quicktime plugin giving me a Sorenson codec decoder for Linux.
The crossover plugin works great under Netscape and Mozilla (haven't tried konqueror yet). I am way impressed.

Of course, they are pricy, but that is why it is nice to have an employer who pays for them.
