For my project, I need to write an assembly code to detect multiprocessors. I really have no idea how as I have barely done assembly coding and I have no good reference or even idea how to start. Again, what I am going to do is, I'm trying to find how many processors on dual core or quad core chips there are and detect them and later on use them. Please help me out here.

Thanks a lot. ]]> Kernels and Modules group256 http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread236324.html Ubuntu Desktop used as a local webserver for Dev - Case Filter http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread232135.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:37:39 GMT Hi,
I am kind of working backwards. I built a live site and then created a development site. Anyhow, the Dev site is built on ubuntu desktop. The site works fine.. INSERT INTO Exception
"Except I noticed that certain images weren't appearing. I discovered the site is case sensitive. This is not so with my host.

I have heard that case filters are a solution for my problem I'd like to know where I can attain one and if there is any particular preference for these solutions.

Thanks! ]]> Kernels and Modules Pullmealong http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread232135.html Fetchmail Configuration http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread223385.html Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:39:28 GMT Hello there Unix & Linux Guru's and Gifted ones,

Can anyone help me configure fetchmail on my redhat 9.0

This sounds to be silly but really I'm new to linux.
I really need step by step installation and configuration on our company's required Redhat 9.0 (shrike) OS.

Thank you and God Bless.

Let me just explain what i am looking for is,

A simple linux keboard driver program which should detect a key combination [preferrably, ctrl + k], up on pressing this combination, driver should generate a SIGUSR1 signal and it should send this signal to another program.
I have written [not my own, through google and other resources] the driver program to detect ctrl + k and a small application program to act on the signal. Now I am facing a problem in sending the signal from driver program to application program :(
If i directly use application program's pid in my keyboard driver program, this can be achieved. But I need a more generic approach, because each time executing the application program and geting the pid will be tough.

I tried what ever i could do, i did lot of googling too, but couldnt get any good solution anywhere;(.

I would be greatful if i get any help or suggestions in this regard. ]]> Kernels and Modules maneeshmp http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread222628.html <![CDATA[Dual Config: One 3D Accel. Graphics, one "Normal" graphics.]]> http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread215529.html Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:47:44 GMT Hey All,

I've got a little question/problem regarding 3D graphics.

Im running a PAE-LowLatency kernel for recording Audio stuff,
and I'd like to be able to also use ATI's proprietary 3D driver for hardware acceleration on a STANDARD 486 kernel. Note I do NOT need both 3D and LowLatency at the same time.

So what I've done before is had two Installs of the same distro.
Not good, you've got to update twice, and your always messing with your /home 's. (I dont make a seperate /home's for backup purposes. Dont ask!)

So what would be ideal is:
-I use the 3D driver with the standard 486 kernel,
-I use the "normal" X driver for the LowLatency kernel.

Is there a way to configure this using Grub? Or do i need something else? Or is what I'm hoping to do not possible?

Cheers for reading, -Harry

Edit:
PS: 3D acceleration messes up on the LowLatency Kernel.. ]]> Kernels and Modules harryhaaren http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread215529.html Events happening during creating a directory http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread211691.html Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:07:13 GMT
