Hi Friends, Thanks for replying to my previous mail. Currntly i am porting a c++ code (written for windows) to Linux. The code uses #include<ios> for using ios_base::left flag.

VRAM is used to store a "snapshot" of your screen, and the size of a snapshot depends only on the resolution and color depth. The reason why GNOME taxes the display H/W is because the themes that use textured backgrounds or mouse-overs etc. require more processing but not necessarily more VRAM. Icons, panel etc. don't use up any more VRAM (they use system RAM and CPU, though). You can make GNOME run easy on the display by using plain Jane themes and lightweight WM's like TWM. Still, it's not going to affect system RAM requirements (so it's not light). It is not going to do much for movies either, because you still can't do anything about the H/W acceleration that you're missing. >I always thought that drivers made for a specific hardware were much better >than those made for a generic ones.

GNOME/KDE not light as in they require more system RAM. That shouldn't have much to do with VRAM. SiS cards, even if detected (like 6326), are driven by the SVGA X Server, instead of the Accelerated X Server. That's what causes the performance lag. Also, w/o hardware acceleration for video, the CPU speed also comes into picture along with the system load. >I have the same card and making X window run in 16 bit is a huge achievement >. Playing movies.... >are you sure you want to do this ? ;-) Why not? My Athlon 600 MHz w/ a 4MB SiS 6326 plays movies fine as long as they're under 640x480 pixels.

OK, the next one may be hard to digest but it's true - I could even play Quake II thru wine @ 640x480x16 without getting the jerks! > >My opinion >Movies: Best watched in theatres or on Xing Player ;-) > Echoed, sans the Xing (or your fav. player here) Player. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com mailme(a)tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

Movies run slowly on Linux
by Abhir Joshi 22 Feb '02

22 Feb '02

Hi Movies don't run as fast in Linux as in Windows on my PC. What might be the reason? Isn't the client and X server using shared memory for communication? If they are not, how to enable it?

Yes, we do. In fact, This card has been supported since Red Hat 6.0 (that's the version I started out with). sndconfig is easily able to auto-detect the card but it reports the card by it's processor's name (Ensonic something) instead of the brand name.

Raid problem
by malik bm 19 Feb '02

19 Feb '02

Hi all! This is Mallikarjun from Bangalore.In one of my company i have to implement Hardware raid. First we configured mail server using follwing configuration: pentium II with L440gx motherboard which is having onboard SCSI controller .Here i don't find any problems.(operating system is redhat7.0) Now my company is recommending to go for Hardware raid and they purchased Hardware raid controller i.e also SCSI adaptec.Also i want to update to redhat 7.1 or 7.2.I need all of your's help.Here following are my questions: 1. How to disable inbuilt scsi controller because iam using seperate raid card.Is it necessary. 2. I want build raid level 1 i.e mirroring with 2 ibm scsi harddisks.Incase if iget any problems while implementing raid how should i trouble shoot myself or to whom should i contact. Can you reply the answers to followed questions as early as possible. ________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a job? Visit Yahoo!
