Ärende: All better now
======================
On or about 12-20-09 07:29, WAYNE CHIRNSIDE allegedly uttered "Re: All better
now" to JAMES BRADLEY:

 JB> james_bradley (in) canada.com? uucp isn't up here anymore, so I would

 WC> "in" canada.com ?

That's where I am! <G>

 WC> Never saw in sit in for @ before, this is correct?

Just another layer against spam pharmers. Your suspicion is correct that I am
@canada.com.

 JB> have to cart the carcass off to a community connection before I am able

 WC> That's a drag, my puter is a half arms length from my left arm.

The two I have whiring are too, well depending where I am waking up from
anyway.Hm... Both off my left arm too. I lost a gratis DU connection in '03,
and refused to pay for the infernal thing when I can do the things I need to at
a few sites for free. 

 JB> Exactly what I said. VID-BIOS, POST, MB-BIOS, All other BIOSs (HD
 JB> controllers, of any flavor.) ... AGP control issues, maybe? You did
 JB> disable the onboard vid controller?

 WC> No and this too is the key issue, BIOS dated 1998.
 WC> Only two options, onboard, auto, no variation of off at all.

I think the traffic here was trying to identify the culprit. <L>

 WC> So I've currently got the 3 xorg files setup, editted with vi, for the
 WC> Nvidia and I've copies of the files when the card
 WC> was out and I reinstalled Linux.

Seems there's a new sheriff in town. On the latest xorg.conf that came with
Slack 13, modes = lines are ineffective. The blurb I just read in the
slackbook-2.0.pdf mentions that most of what we had to probe by executing a
setup file, or by entering our own parameters is now up to guesswork each time
startx is executed. The *hours* I could have saved editing and testing the
damned thing!!! 


 WC> Anyway, that's how I hope it works out, dual monitors
 WC> running different consoles off of two different video cards.

I have a dual head on this Matrox. (1-VGA, 1-composite) Before I dropped the
lid on the 64-bit AMD, I crammed another VGA card in (PCI) just to complicate
things. (Yup... A sucker for punishment! ;-) The ATI I had strapped on has
three heads. (1-VGA, 1-DVI/VGA, and 1-composite) I'm not too much a sucker to
try the on-board vid at the same time. <L l/a lunatic>


 WC> So I'll give your email address a shot today after I get it together
 WC> a bit.

I just hope my accounts are still valid. It's been a bitch of a December, and I
need to get in to log-in one of these days.

 WC> Nice talking to you.

Hey... Top of the New Year if I don't get a chance before then!
