I have a 1662 with 2 PPro 166/512's here, running with a Cirrus 5436 card, doing 1024X1280. 64 megs memory, and just as stable as a rock. Done many hundreds of buildworlds, only once have I ever had a panic. Using Option "linear" in my XF86Config file. Toss a test at me if you want. I'm not using softupdates or CAM, tho, and I only use a mouse in X. I often do the buildworlds while I'm screwing around with something else, even netscape. I have 4 G of = disk, with 192M of swap. >=20 > -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D= -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D= -=3D-=3D- > S=F8ren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team > Even more code to hack -- will it ever end? > .. >=20 > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message >=20 >=20 ----------------------------+-------------------------------------------= ---- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data=20 chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+-------------------------------------------= ---- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD9B90.E8266C30 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Tony Johnson.vcf" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Tony Johnson.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Johnson;Greg FN:Tony Johnson EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:tjohnson@gulfsouth.verio.net REV:19980326T195655Z END:VCARD ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD9B90.E8266C30-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
