This horror of a company makes life miserable for e veryone else - not just floss users and developers. BG and M$ are not personal enemies. It is their bad software and worse policies and attitude that invites the criticism they get. rgds jtd

I was merely giving you a data point since you solicited feedback re: their service. The throughput is consistent around 226 Kbps. IMO, if MTNL can get it's act together on the support end, they could give the other ISPs a run for their money - you get a landline and Internet in one package :) > > > Regarding the 502T modem, I ran into a couple of weird behaviors: > > > > 1.

Debian sarge. Thanks, this gives me a data point. I have static IP and just logged in to modem (FF 1.0.6 SuSE 9.3). Same problem, some of the graphics of the pages do not load :( Time to follow up with the DLink guys. If you could send me the firmware version it would be great. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside

TCS (or one of the tata avtars) contibuted major parts of a sip gateway which is part of the vovida project. Wipro have their names listed as linux developers for TI's omap processors. Naturally. If they had to do something under any prop toolchain they would be debugging for the next 100 yrs. But overall the big boys using their age old tactics which is waiting for the grubs to bioform the biz environs, then stroll in with some fancy brouchers and laugh all the way to the bank (at the expense of most banks). rgds jtd

U only need the boot partition withinin the portion recognizable by the bios. Once the kernel is loaded, linux will use any disk. Linux does not use bios calls for any io. It's only the bootloader which uses bios calls. rgds jtd

Quake 3 runs only in 640x480 mode
by Sandesh Singh 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi there. I compiled the released Q3 Arena source (thank you, thank you Mr. John Carmack!) a couple of hours ago. However, I soon found out that somehow it ran well only if I fired up X in a resolution of 640x480. It just wouldn't get up to speed if I booted into the default resolution of 1024x768 (even though q3 itself ran in 640x480 mode). Is there a way I can start X in 640x480 mode without changing the global /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? My current routine constitutes changing that file, restarting X, playing Quake, and then changing the file back ... -- Sandy (http://360.yahoo.com/sandesh247) Better hope the life-inspector doesn't come around while you have your life in such a mess.
