Hi: Like Gerard Patel mentioned on the developer's list I can confirm that Wine's behaviour _is_ now very dependant on which X server is used and to top it: also this behaviour is varying quite a bit depending on the Windows application which is run. I have font problems with XF86_SVGA on a Trident Video-107PCI (cheapy-cheapy) and not with XF86_S3 on a Diamond 2000 3D (old). The problem

Hi all. First thing: I want to thank you all for your help over the past month as I've been learning asterisk. This is one of the more helpful lists. Even when I ask questions that have answers in the wiki ( which I missed because I've been over studying ). Second thing is this: My office is scouting out VoIP solutions, and I have suggested an asterisk solution. We will be

Is there a card for OpenSolaris 2009.06 SPARC that will do SATA correctly yet? Need it for a super cheapie, low expectations, SunBlade 100 filer, so I think it has to be notched for 5v PCI slot, iirc. I''m OK with slow -- main goals here are power saving (sleep all 4 disks) and 1TB+ space. Oh, and I hate to be an old head, but I don''t want a peecee. They still scare me :) Thinking ro...

After speaking with several people, and even participating in a forum of several other people with echo issues, I thought I'd share what we've done (well actually what our chief R&D engineer, Brett Bourn has done...) First let me say that normal cheapy PC hardware couldn't be made to function with out echo. We tried on both the single port Digium T1 card and the 4 port Digium T1

...hen the errors started, this was the first thing I HAD to fix. Sharing an IRQ with Wildcard is NOT recommended. Put the card on it's own IRQ! With todays highly integrated motherboard's, it's getting to where you can't buy one without an APIC - unless it is a cheapie. NOTE 2: To enable APIC you have to compile it into the kernel or if running FC1 kernel you must use the SMP version. I am not sure why APIC is not in the standard FC1 kernel. Planning to research this further but have not had time to so far. 6) Motherboard should support A...

.... There are some cloud providers who have higher rates than linode, but charge you only a small fee for storage if you shut the vps down when your not using. One example who I have no experience with is: http://www.phoenixnap.com/secured-cloud/about-our-cloud/pricing.php Here's a $3.99/month cheapie, but I have no experience with it: http://lowendbox.com/blog/serverhub-4-99-1536mb-openvz-vps-2-ipv4-addresses-in-phoenix-az/ Nataraj

Hey, I only got a Voodoo Banshee because one was up for auction locally, and I could get it cheap. I also had good results with a cheapie S3 card. I suspect that most any other card might work better than nVIDIA. So if you want to "cut the Gordian knot" and solve the problems fast, F**K nVIDIA, and try any other display card. Rick

I tried to convert a cheapie box with a VIA C3 processor into my Asterisk server with a TDM-400P rev. E. It didn't work. :) I'm just posting my experiences here for the record; this is not a plea for assistance. The nifty-looking blue "E" cards, as most here probably know, require a PCI 2.2-compliant slo...

IF I wanted to do the whole "sophisticated telephony VoIP stuff" asterisk, what hardware would I need? I have a feeling that my fax modem is probably not going to work out. My wife and I have an income of $650 a month. After the first-of-the-month bills are payed, we're lucky if we have $100 left for food and gasoline. I need a solution that's as economical as possible. What

I (work :) bought a USB2.0/Firewire enclosure and I had a little trouble with it until I came across this page http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/USB/comment/ku350a.txt after trying the sysctl things work well. I haven't tried the USB2.0 side of it, as I don't have any USB2.0 controllers. The Firewire bit works great too (quite a bit faster than USB1 :) The enclosure in question is made

...at 10 Mbytes/sec under all circumstances.. In both cases, CPU usage during transfers were very low. The P4 was something like 1% and the NT4 box ran at about 20%. I found that the network wiring and the quality of the hubs and switches is important. When getting data from the samba server, via a cheapie 8 port switch, the data rate was reduced. When getting data from the samba server via a slightly more expensive -but still cheap - 8 port switch the speed increased to about 9 Mb/sec. It seems the cheap switches that we buy here for about $50 AU are ok for home use but struggle when you want to...

I just ran into a completely unexpected problem. It appears that the Kingston SOHO Hubs don't do TCP. They do NETBEUI very well. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I went home and got my cheap Bay Networks 8 port hub and everything worked. This is to hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem. Nothing on Kingstons site mentions no TCP support but swapping only the hub worked

We have many IAXy devices in the field now. In all cases, in iax.conf, we have "qualify=yes", so that using "iax2 show peers", we can see whether or not the device is currently online. In some cases, the IAXy device and/or Asterisk are not communicating their qualification, because "iax2 show peers" shows the device as status UNKNOWN. However, when a user picks up

Hey all, I'm trying to learn how to use some of the big data stores. Specifically I want to learn how to use CassandraDB and Hadoop. Originally I'd had the idea of trying to setup a cassandra ring on the Amazon AWS free tier. However it seems that neither will run on a t2.micro instance. So I was wondering.. what are some really cheap VPS services that you like to use for one off

I need to provide a 80 people office with VOIP. I want to commit to one vendor Polycom or Aastra. Price of the phones is not a factor in the decision. The quality of the phones is the factor. Some of the features that I am evaluating on are: (arranged in order of priority) 1. Sound quality 2. complete product line with conference phone and receptionist phone (not on Aastra) 3. cordless (not on

Has anyone got hints on using KVM switches with XFree86? I'm using a wheel mouse and moused, but something gets out of whack when I switch away then back to X. Next time I touch the mouse, all sorts of weird things happen for a fraction of a second, then the mouse starts working OK. This is annoying and dangerous because it often winds up pasting random stuff into xterms..... Are there

I have a server running CentOS 4.2 that works as a web/email with very heavy load. It runs Directadmin web gui which is like Cpanel. It runs on a cheapy mATX motherboard(ECS 741GX-M) with socket A 2800+ CPU and 2Gbyte DDR. The OS and data are on a 300Gbyte PATA maxtor drive and data backups are run weekly to another PATA drive. The server is overwelmed and data backups take over 5 hours to

I am working with a small inn (under 50 rooms) that is next to a ski resort. The inn just had Cat5e Homeruns to each room installed, with a patch panel in the basement. Now it's my job to connect each of the those rooms to the Internet. I think I have a Cisco switch that I can do Private VLANS with, however I thought of another solution. Has anybody seen or does anybody know of a VoIP

Been trying to deploy my rails app on Redhat ES3, Apache2, FastCGI with Plesk all day. Fun stuff. Basically, the issue that I can not solve has to do with access to /public. None of my images, javascripts, etc. are working in the app. Trying to access any of these results in a 404 (or routing error if in developer mode). Oddly, the 404 file it displays is -- you guessed it -- in fact *in*
