Really Simple and Atomized Syndication

Found this new Atom thing and now my Blogs can be viewed by Newsreaders as well.



The RSS is http://usr.blogspot.com/atom.xml



I use a Webenabled Newsreader called BlogLines, it is quite good.



Feedster helped me to find my Atom RSS url :-)

factorial shell script

#!/bin/sh

function factorial()

{

N=$1

A=1

while test $N -gt 0 ; do

A = `expr $A '*' $N`

N = `expr $N - 1`

done

echo $A

}



factorial



It is giving me a message that unary operator is expected at line 6 which is

while test $N - gt 0 ; do

agp0: trying to bind to stolen memory.

This should be helpful in understanding this issue:

- shall try it out and post the results later.



Had the following discussion, which helped me get to this.

[senthil_or] Hi posted at linux-testers.[drm:i830_wait_ring] *ERROR* lockup

[mdomsch] senthil_or: saw it, no idea

[mdomsch] I had something similar on [= RHL8 with my Latitude C400

[mdomsch] but was fixed with newer DRM and XFree in RHL9

[mdomsch] RHEL3 should be fine in that regard.

[senthil_or] Nope, I am using RH3 but still getting it constantly

[senthil_or] Matt,one more thing. This is another problem X11 , posted here http://snipurl.com/4ax0

[senthil_or] have got any pointers ?

[mdomsch] Red Hat XFree86 SRPM?

[mdomsch] They may well have something in there to address this which hasn't made it upstream yet.

[senthil_or] the question at google groups ( usenet) related to Xfree86 latest failing when used with Freebsd but Fedora/RH worked fine

[senthil_or] agp0: trying to bind to stolen memory was the error, unable to figure out how to resolve

[mdomsch] yeah, I read it.

[mdomsch] "stolen memory" is system RAM being used by the video adapter as video memory

[mdomsch] some is reserved by the BIOS at boot time, but generally only 1MB

[mdomsch] which isn't enough for most video modes

[mdomsch] So the i830 X driver needs to "steal" more (16MB or more)

[mebrown] 855patch.tar.gz

[mdomsch] in the SRPM?

[senthil_or] ok..i see

[mebrown] i have D500. google for 855patch. it lets you set the amount of ram to use.

[senthil_or] Yeah, got the link - It offers good explaination of whats happend. Shall Try that. Thanks Matt!! :)

[mdomsch] thank mebrown
