Hi. I have a little confusion with XFree86Config. What is the difference
between bpp and color depth?
With the DefaultColorDepth set to 24 my screen rate was 115 hz, but at 32 it
is just 85 (max 86). What does choosing 32 or 24 signify? Isn't 24 bits as
much as there actually is?
At 85 hz I can a
I'm using the fetchmail-procmail-sendmail combo to get mail off of a
mailserver, filter it, and read it locally. I'm using that same mail
server to pass sent mail to.
In this case, I don't know if sendmail is overkill and if I should be
using something different.
What I'd like to fix is this...
Thanks that ddid the trick

Hi. I get an error sometimes when attempting a screen capture:
xwd: Warning. Error in XWD-color-structure (flag)
xwd: EOF encountered on reading
xwd: load_image (xwd): XWD-file /root/.gimp/tmp/gimp_temp.277523.xwd has
format 2, depth 24
and bits per pixel 24.
Currently this is not supported.

Any truth to the rumor that they have
If you prefer a simpler method simply use dselect to uninstall xdm or
whatever X login you are using. When you come up in a console mode launch X
using startx.

Thanks, Adrian,
That did the trick.
I know the risks of running unstable and I'm willing to take them to get
the more up-to-date packages. Actually, I run the stable dist on a
somewhat more mission critical machine.

Hi,
Just a quick question that shouldn't be too hard to answer. Since rolling

/lib/modules/2.4.1/modules.dep
i tried doing a 'depmod -a'

To change the login prompt message, you can edit the file /etc/issue.
You will probably have to restart the login on each console for the
change to take effect. For example you could log in, and then log out,
and you will see the new message.

Hi,
what am I doing wrong? I changed the PATH-line in /etc/profile
(including now /usr/local/xyz/bin), at the end there is also an "export
PATH"-line, but when I login via kdm (as user) into kde (version 2 and
2.1beta), there's still the old PATH set (even after rebooting!). So I
