xfree or xdarwin isn't handling the multihead right.. I think XDarwin. the window manager comes much later and doesn't have anything to do with this problem.. I'm not even using a wm at the moment. I think XDarwin isn't getting the screen sizes right for my second monitor.. so I boot up...

So I have problems with my newly installed xfree setup, installed with fink (sudo fink install xfree86-rootless), and 1.0a3 of XDarwin. I have two screens, one the built in ATI card and the other a terribly supported proformance3 card with an SGI lcd attached. Whenever xfree wants to access the...

So I think the problem might have been my screwy lookupd configs, which were only half working for a while. When lookupd is broken, many shell commands bus error on ya (the ones that use lookup services, like finger, ls breaks, others)..

even if 10.2 was a 64-bit os (highly unlikely I think), it could probably run on both 32 and 64-bit chips without modification, thanks to osx's next heritage.. the bundle format allowed (not sure if apple took it out for osx) multiple architectures to be supported with one 'fat' binary. with...

Has anyone tried to get an osx 10.1 machine acting as a client to an ldap server using rfc2317-style lookup services (nis, but using ldap)? I tried to get this to work using lookupmanager (www.bresink.de/osx), and lookupd segfaults whenever I do an 'ls', activating the lookup to ldap for user...

if you're doing a flood ping across a router, strange things like that may well happen because most routing code will drop icmp first when faced with a saturated link.. I dunno if this is the case in your situation, or what the router code is link under os9.. but in any case, I always suspect...

maybe it's your networking hardware, I just did a flood ping to another box on my switch and I get 100% from my dual 450. cheers

IE for me has super-amnesia. It's always forgetting that it's the default browser, its history, its cookies, everything except the bookmarks. I've got a dp450. strange.. and the IE security update didn't help either.

nice work!

well this is just sort of standard crash reporting stuff (mozilla and omniweb both do this), but of course this MS we're talking about so people expect the worst.. if they don't allow you to turn it off it will be pretty upsetting, as when you purchase software you don't really purchase the...

yes, that's what this thread is about. and don't get pissed because you're playing around with unreleased software. besides, if you wrote a software package that you sold for hundreds of dollars, wouldn't you do something similar?

I only did limited testing with word, but those ports seem to be consistent..

it depends on what you mean by local. The traditional meaning of a local exploit is that it can be affected from a shell on the box (if someone ssh's into your machine using a regular user account). There are lots of well known local exploits for other operating systems, and they're usually...

sudo ipfw add 0 deny udp from any to any 2222 sudo ipfw add 0 deny tcp from any to any 3464 that should do it..

thanks.. but of course, that being said, it looks like a good monitor, and you won't have the driver hell I've had with their card.. :)

this company is the same one who makes the proformance3 video card with a connector for an SGI lcd monitor. I bought one, at which time formac said they'd support osx after the release of osx (march 24, ladies and gents). the public beta has supported the proformance3 card simply as a...

yea, the way it works (I'm guessing) is that when any office program opens up, it listens on a socket with a predefined port number. Probably the only thing that you can do with that connection is request the serial number of the running app (unless you conspiracy theorists are right :)...

it's called network licensing enforcement.. try and run copies of office on two different machines with the same serial, and it will figure it out pretty quickly. Remember quarkxpress? same deal, except it used appletalk broadcasts instead of straight tcp/ip.. although it's easier to get...

duh.. thanks! works like a champ.. there were two, one was image/png (set to view with preview.app) and the other image/x-png (set to view with browser). I set the image/png to view with browser and we're all set! Although I suppose this could further demonstrate that IE can't call...

huh.. so how do you do this exactly? I've found that IE since the beginning (osx beta) will not recognize non-classic (yes, classic) plugins and helper applications in the dialog where you select them. So for png (which works fine for me as an inline image, but not when opened up by itself), I...
