i am looking to get a cheap 8way switch, it must be a switch, not a hub because i have some old 10mb stuff. i narrowed it down to a model from Dynalink and a model from somebody called C-net. does anybody have anything good or bad to say on these makes? i dont want to buy one only to find that UDP p...

just to anounce that the new XFREE86 is finally released,
maybe it will help the "3z" problem!

VIA-APOLLO MVP3 chipset, but no onboard anything, i use a soundblaster AWE32.(ISA)

here is something new, while playing with the settings on windows i managed to duplicate the fault. (freezing, but with mouse movement) i am pretty sure i got it localised to the 'anisotropic filtering' option. if i enable it i get trouble. NOW HOW DO I DISABLE THAT OPTION IN LINUX????? system note,...

well now i am angry, i just tried to uninstall g1, it left so much exceptional behind you would not believe it! if you put an installer on something make sure it will uninstall EVERYTHING afterwards, that includes the dodgy looking cach filez and the player-config file. otherwise just give us the go...

just tested the beta, it's much slower, very jerky. i hope thats because of internal debug code, and it's not just going the way of windows. IE - new release = slower,bigger & nore bugs!!! also i found a serious bug. on worlds with underwater sections you cant jump out, it thinks the surface of ...

well i am just using the windows version for now, waiting for the release soon of XFREE86 v4.3 hoping it will fix the problem! it should be out soon, the 4.2.99 beta release candidate has been on cvs for ages :) i personally suspect the problem is related to texture mapping, maybe a quick compile wi...

there is no freeze when connecting to servers, sometimes the server is too busy to respond. when this happens the request will eventually time-out and you can search for servers again. i think the same problem is responsible for the ocasional error while trying to download the world-database (map) w...

i just had the usual symptoms - total freeze, mouse still working IN WINDOZE!!!!!!! :shock: first time in ...well - ever! i really hate 'g0' !!! usually you remove the bugs before adding new ones, tim riker must have forgotten this. :sniper: 2 good things to say though. 1 - turkey moongroups has fix...

i think your linux has not got the audio configured properly! :( as for the slowdowns, try starting a server, then logging in as localhost, :sniper: i saw a 3COM card cause this with WINSHIT-XP a few days ago. (replacing it with a cheap realtek card fixed it) Btw. i trust you dont actually mean you ...

well this makes interesting reading. http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/changes.html new version (4.3) releases at the end of the month. maybe somebody who can be bothered setting up for a CVS compile can test the beta? i think it's a memory related problem, something leaking/not being de-allocated? the sma...

start your flag -solo 9

choose a colour (NOT ROGUE)

log onto somewhere - you and YOUR posse!!!!

do-not start server.

and dont tell kernel panik that i told you this

not many cards in your system then :twisted: o.k. i did a very interesting test, i ran flag in a window, while playing mp3's with XMMS. that denied any audio access to the flag - so it's NOT the audio. more interesting is that when it crashed (as it does) :( the MP3's kept playing, but the spectrum-...

i allready tried -mute, it ran for a lot longer but still froze. a couple more things of interest, going from e2 to e4 USB jystick support was added. now on my system USB is disabled in the bios because i dont have enough interupts. what suddenly got me thinking is this: i also have my floppy contro...

:sniper: AND DONT LOG-ON TO SOMEBODYS SERVER WITH THOSE OPTIONS!

a friend of mine started a 'solo' client and accidentally logged onto turkey-moongroups (with his robotic posse!)
pretty funny for a while!!!!!!!!
i think the server can block it from happening, but i dont know for sure!

forget the NIC/modem bit, i have been locking up the system during tests running LOCALHOST! (unless running localhost still uses the networking code) just for the sake of completeness i use realtek 8139 nic and rockwell ISA hardware modem i found in the changelog for g0 a line that says: 'improved t...

sorry for adding confusion! :) i have 2 seperate problems. first - graphics are jumpy, but ONLY in 'g0' second - the infamous 'freeze' problem (all versions) i guess it's not the video drivers, monster-fusion dont use Nvidia drivers. (is it ATI?) i still dont trust the sound system. i may compile a ...

this is getting interesting, everybody who uses linux please post the following data: does it run o.k. (no freezes) ? what video-card is used? what video-drivers are used? what soundcard is used? what sound driver is used? i think it 'may' be related to the sound system too. let's search for a patte...

anybody using Nvidia and windows knows that the driver has lots of options you can change relating to texture buffers etch. can i change things in the linux driver? the reason i ask is because i think it may be related to the freezing problem. i just managed to freeze the windows version by playing ...

thats what you get for not using linux

o.k. that did nothing for the problem

i wonder if a special version should be compiled that creates a VERY detailed tracking log?

another problem with 'g0' is graphics not being smooth, but that effects win versions too.
also, i think it's totally unrelated to the crashes.

o.k. i tried the 'nopentium' thing, it didnt help. no i have to add that my lilo script had no 'append' string so i added it, here is my script. # Modified by YaST2.

all SGI systems run IRIX.
note the IX in irIX kind if gives the game away.

hi fiber,

delete the account 'DEATH'

i did the short version first because i cant see the text at login.
(white on gray or something!)
and i entered the wrong e-mail address!!!!

this account i am using now is the one to keep, it's the name i play under.

c.u.

i come from a land far-far-away!

(u.k.)

these systems are dirt-cheap now, check e-bay and do a search for 'sgi'

if you are lucky you can get a indigo2 IMPACT with R10000 cpu for under $100

unfortunatly R10000 based units are like gold dust in europe, but there are lots in the u.s.

have fun.
