I didn't even think about VNC. That might work, but i think i found something better. I just discovered Xnest. Xnest -geometry 1280x972 -query :remoteXserver :1 This seems to do what i want. I'm only missing one thing. That is a true full screen mode. I haven't looked into it much, so it may have this cabability. -brad On Saturday 28 September 2002 08:39 pm, Charles R.

loading modules

by Bill Mills-Curran

I have a situation where I need to use a non-standard kernel module in place of one that comes with the RedHat 8.0 distribution, and I'd like to know the "right" way to achieve this. The module is a device driver for a Qlogic fibre host bus adapter. The reason for the special module is that the one that RedHat supplies does not handle all the fibre configurations we (EMC) need for an EMC/Clariion array. Here's what I've done thus far. 1. I have written an rpm to build the module from source and install it. I have given the module a unique name so it won't conflict with the kernel rpm file. 2. Once installed, I can run depmod, rmmod (on the old module) and modprobe (on the new module). (If I reboot, I don't need to run depmod.) Everything looks fine at this point, and I know I could put the appropriate commands (rmmod & modprobe) into /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but I'm wondering if there is something cleaner. One thing I tried (with no success) was to modify /etc/modules.conf **************** Old: alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2200 New: alias scsi_hostadapter1 newmodule **************** I thought that this was the line that was making the standard module (qla2200) load. I found that qla2200 loaded even after my change, and the newmodule did not load. Suggestions? TIA, Bill

Re: [Wlug] Need a KT133 machine

by Gary Hanley

Hi Adam, I actually have an FIC KT133 (Not KT133A) lying around which you are welcome to. I think there might have been a problem with the floppy port but I ended up upgrading the MB instead of trying to diagnose the real problem. The board definately boots. It has a Duron (<1GZ) on it which you can also take it you like. -- Gary On Tue, 8 Oct 2002, Adam Keck wrote: > Not specifically Linux related, but... > Are any of you fellow AMD fans?

Need a KT133 machine

by Adam Keck

Not specifically Linux related, but... Are any of you fellow AMD fans? If so, are any of you running an Asus KT133 motherboard? I desparately need a machine to place an HD into to do a Disaster Recovery :-/. Chipset fan on mine blew and the board seems to have fried :(.
