Hello All,
Congrats on 6.2, it is an awesome distribution. Keep up the good
work! I have a comment/question and a two problems...
---------> Comment/question:
I am wondering if any has this setup working, or if it is
currently being worked on.
I, a while back, was working on setting up a RH linux box with two
sets of keyboards, mice, monitors, and sound cards/ speakers. The goal in
mind was to run multiple X and VT log-in sessions on each (keyboard,
monitor, mouse, sound) set. This would allow two people to sit at the
same machine and work. I was experimenting with GGI and USB, but the
kernel support was not there. So now with XFree 4.0 and kernel 2.2.4 on
the way, will my setup above be possible? Does anyone allready have this
working? It seems to me that since computer power is no longer an issue
for normal computer lab use (running pine, netscape, pico, and etc), it
would be great to have a Linux enivornment, where multiple people can
transparently share the same machine. The only problem I see with having
2 people logged in with X at once is then having two netscape processes
running away at once, instead of the normal one :) and that leads me to my
next problem.
--------> Problem I:
Does anyone have a script that will go about a network and kill
run away netscapes? I am about sick and tired of logging into every
machine and killing netscape for users that do not know how to.
---------> Problem II:
I have an old WangDat 3200 SCSI Tape drive and I can not get it to
work. The card itself has no trouble "seeing" the drive, but RH Linux
does not see it. Here is my info:
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Any ideas?? Do I need to specify some module parameters? Any help is
greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
