Re: more RAM, swap?
Actually, take a look now before your memory upgrade, hos much of the swap is actually being used. If it reaches the 50 Mb, and not more, I would not recommend a such operation as resizing a swap. Other people may do so, and please do whatever you feel, but have have in mind that the swap is being used when there is no more memory left, and with 256 mb's of memory, you might not need more than 64, and that is just in case, anyway. It is a de facto -standard to have the double swap as you have ram. That might be very useful and highly recommended if you had a 16 mb ram -box. You should just stick to your current swap size.. /Daniel Lönn
USB2 PCMCIA Card
Hi folks! I just got my old stationary pc sold, for my new (brought second hand) laptop. Now, this is the case, I need as much information regarding this, from you people - as possible. The computer is a Compaq Armada 110 laptop ( http://fake.by-infonet.de/laptop/ ) My problem is regarding USB... The computer has two built in USB1 devices, in wich one the mouse is conneted, and it works very well. Of course, the computer also has a touchpad, as ps/2, and it works simultanously with the external mouse whenever I want. Now, in this computer, I have inserted a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card, to use with a CD-WRITER. I keep this theoretical: I do not yet own a usb2 cd-writer, but I will, just in any day now. Now, I have heard of PCMCIA support under Linux, and also about USB2, but has anyone any experience of this? The CD-writer I am going to get is of course usb1 compatible, so I can stick with that in the meantime searching this information. Any suggestions? Hints, tips, whatever? Ask for more info, if needed. Regards! Oh, the distribution is [EMAIL PROTECTED],196 Mb Ram and a Celeron 700 CPU /Daniel Lönn

Mouse Configuration in X on Compaq Armada 110
Hi folks Now, this is the case 1) On my Compaq Armada 110, I use the internal touchpad, wich is ps/2, and a external USB -mouse. 2) Sometimes, after awhile, the the focus weirds up totally. There is no visible error at all, but the actual cursor seems to be 1 inch LEFT from the cursor that I see. This is really frustrating, when you run apps that sinply has to run a period of time, and when I therefore are being unbalbe to reboot the machine - the only thing that actually solves the problem. Example: If I in KDE right click for the root menu, I get the root menu, but it slides down one inch left from the place I klicked. Does anyone know how to solve this with a better method than restarting the whole box? (No, restarting X does NOT fix it) This comes after a period of time, no matter wich mouse I am using, nor does it matter if the USB external is plugged in or not. --- --- This is a copy of my XF86Config -file # File generated by xf86config. # # Copyright (c) 1999 by The XFree86 Project, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
