The older, Pentium 120 laptop, with C&T display card, has a 800x600 panel, and I think does "integer scaling" (don't know what the official name for it is.) Thus I think it used 640x600 pixels if you use mode 320x200. I remember using it at 800x600, 640x480 (which didn't fill the panel, of course), and 320x200 - I still want to go back at it and throw more interesting modes at it... I cannot remember if I've done any mode other than 800x600 under linux. The laptop I work on at this moment, does proper scaling, with smoothing, of many modes. (My text mode is "anti aliased"... ) I have thrown at it: 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480, 640x400, 512x384, 480x300, 400x300, 320x240, 320x200, as well as 352x240... all of them were scaled up to 1024x768, by hardware, with smoothing... brilliant. Note, however, that this only works with the XF86_SVGA server. (And the "normal" modes under M$Windows also works like this.) Running the Mach64 server on this display at anything other than 1024x768 "melts" it, and the only solution is hardware power-off... keyboard doesn't work either. My XF86Config thus has only 1024x768 specified for "accelerated" servers. I have given up on multiple modes and video mode switching with Mach64, so I use the SVGA server when I need it. Oh, I haven't mentioned in this mail yet: it is an ATI Rage Mobility display card. This is why the fixed dot-clock makes sense: the display card is always outputting 1024x768 - which is also why the hsync and vsync are pretty meaningless. (As long as I enter any "valid" modeline, the card will work at that resolution, with a dotclock of 65.15, and xvidtune will report a refresh rate based on the resolution and that dotclock. The modifications that can be made to the mode by xvidtune, have no effect whatsoever. All I must do now, is figure out what is the simplest way of making a modeline "valid" - i.e. not rejected by the X server, then I can probably try any arbitrary resolution. I still want to try 4x3... ;) I have now realised that the old Pentium120 will then possibly NOT have a fixed dotclock, it can likely depend on the scaled resolution, thus for 320x200 it will have a dotclock that is necessary to output 640x600(?)

Toshiba PCMCIA cd-rom problem
Hi folks,
is there anyone out there who has experiences with the Toshiba Portege

PCMCIA, ParPort and USB)?
I read and tried so much now that I would appreciate every single hint like

PCMCIA modules - custom kernel - unresolved symbols
Can anyone help me? I get unresolved symbols in these modules: epic_cb.o and parport_cs.o in /lib/modules/2.2.17/pcmcia/ when I compile a custom kernel. I have tried to compile the PCMCIA modules as well (not using the pcmcia-modules package) but that doesn't help. I've tried with both make-kpkg and by hand. The standard modules.conf (the one that comes with potato) says something about /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/epic100.o. This file isn't in my new "net" modules catalog. Copying it from the old modules folder and updating modules.conf doesn't help (if I do it right :). I'm not even sure if this is the correct way to do it. I run potato on a dell inspiron 3800 with a xircom card. It works fine with the standard kernel-image and modules. Thanks. (Sorry if i didn't supply enough information this is my first posting.)

Re: Good window manager for laptop
A particularily light window manager is FLWM (Fast and Light WM) which is included with Debian as of 2.2/Potato. Check it out at flwm.sourceforge.net. I currently have two desktops running and the memory footprint is 750 kb. I am a BIG fan of FLWM and here are a couple of reasons: o lightweight and uses very few colors (duh) o window title bars are on the left side of the window (not the top) which means you can use EVERY PIXEL in the verticle direction o The window decorations include maximize-verticle maximize-horizontal buttons (as opposed CTL-SHFT-Click-Maximize or something) o Menus and submenus of applications are very easy to setup and do not require root privliges. o Supports multiple desktops (Ctl-Tab between them or via mouse/popup menu) o Many keyboard shortcuts o The source is very short so it's easy to tweek. (it's based on the FLTK -- Fast and Light Tool kit) o of course, it's GPLed

AFAIK, you have no problem if you don't need the epic or parport modules. Anyway, you may want to upgrade to the 3.1.20 packages (pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-source) in /dists/proposed-updates at your favorite debian mirror. HTH, -- David
pcmcia-card with 2 interfaces
heya listers, Are ther pcmcia cards (ethernet cards 10/100) wiht two interface on the same card? pcmcia II that is, cause if it's pcmcia III you can just put in 2 II cards as well. I know they exists with eth and modem. --- Andor Demarteau [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

Copying it from the old modules folder and updating modules.conf doesn't help (if I do it right :). I'm not even sure if this is the correct way to do it. I run potato on a dell inspiron 3800 with a xircom card. It works fine with the standard kernel-image and modules. Thanks.

Re: Good window manager for laptop
A particularily light window manager is FLWM (Fast and Light WM) which is included with Debian as of 2.2/Potato. Check it out at flwm.sourceforge.net. I currently have two desktops running and the memory footprint is 750 kb. I am a BIG fan of FLWM and here are a couple of reasons: o lightweight and uses very few colors (duh) o window title bars are on the left side of the window (not the top) which means you can use EVERY PIXEL in the verticle direction o The window decorations include maximize-verticle maximize-horizontal buttons (as opposed CTL-SHFT-Click-Maximize or something) o Menus and submenus of applications are very easy to setup and do not require root privliges. o Supports multiple desktops (Ctl-Tab between them or via mouse/popup menu) o Many keyboard shortcuts o The source is very short so it's easy to tweek. (it's based on the FLTK -- Fast and Light Tool kit) o of course, it's GPLed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: PCMCIA modules - custom kernel - unresolved symbols

AFAIK, you have no problem if you don't need the epic or parport modules. Anyway, you may want to upgrade to the 3.1.20 packages (pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-source) in /dists/proposed-updates at your favorite debian mirror.
