new graphics card
by Jenny_Hopkins＠toby-churchill.com 06 Oct '01

I've just replaced a faulty graphics card in the dualboot machine at home, and was wondering how to let the linux part know it has an S3 Trio64V rather than a Whatever-it-was? I ran XF86Config from a command line, but got all the header and footers for each section in XF86Config come up with "command not found". A search on google showed the driver "accel" can be used with this card....I'm not sure how to activate this driver, or if I can just edit XF86Config by hand. Or how to find if debian has the driver "accel". Or anything much really. Ta, Jenny.

Parking in Cambridge
by John Seago 06 Oct '01

06 Oct '01

I'm told that using the Park-and-ride is the best way to deal with parking in Cambridge, there's a Park-and -ride just by the Airport. That's assuming that mostofthe membership will be coming from the East, but it does'nt solvethe problems of those who want to bring their machines with them. Having looked at the Cambridge LUG site it might be possible that they could make their cellar availble. John seago

How did you look? XMMS stores its settings in $HOME/.xmms usually. To do otherwise is to be using a hacked-up source, I think. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services?

If you go to :- http://www.microsuxx.com/ you can get Email that does'nt print adverts for `Microsoft' ® products on the ALUG main, (or any of the other lists). This is just a suggestion, offering a guide to alternative free Email not an ivitation for rebarbative remarks. (I have no wish to offend, having begun my postings to this list via `Outlook' ®).
