Another year older...

...but not adding debt!

Laptop Update It never fails. New piece of gear, 3x install to get it right. It's X, as usual. I have no clue what the refresh rate and stuff on a laptop LCD is! The fact that I have to boot it using " video=vga16:off" to get it not to munch the bottom three lines of the screen is annoying. I haven't got the driver for the video system (SiS 305, if you care), and I'm racking my brain as to what the differences with laptop vs desktop are wrt getting X to run. I think I need to install XFree86-mach (machine??) to work with it, but I gotta do a little more homework.

Work Update I'm here. So far, so good. It's been close to 5 months, and I haven't strangled anyone... ;-)

Hi there! Hope your birthday was happy. Gma's is today. She is 88! Wow! 481-2119 and you know the area code.

I may have a present for you. My server uses sis305 and I think I may have the drivers you need. When I finish reloading and fixing my win2000 I will make a copy of the two disks that came with the mainboard and send them to you. If you can use them fine. If not fine too. Love ya, kid!
