It should work fine with two wifi interfaces, as long as you are accessing two different AP’s.
But I never tried it…

Dear Niels,

Is this bash file compatible when I use two WiFi interface?in my case, I make 2 APs by using 2 WiFi interfaces with different gw and use 2 clients by using 2 WiFi interfaces which connected to different AP?

To get a nice looking picture on wide-screen monitors, you have to distort the image like in the example I gave.

I was actually wondering why it has to end up with 640x480 ---I mean, is it possible to use a .bmp of 640x400 (since I have a 16:10 monitor ratio) ? I was able to edit my lilo.conf to boot at 640x480x256 by setting to vga=768 and it worked. Then I edited slack.bmp to 640x400 using GIMP but I had no success running it as lilo always rejects it.with "Fatal: Unsupported bitmap". In your example above, you chose to resize 853x480 to 640x480, a standard I believe to be widely used, and I think it is the right thing to do as there is no vesa mode for 853x480. My purpose for trying to use 640x400 is that I just want to try to maintain 16:10 ratio ---from the lilo bitmap of 640x400 till X display of 1152x720, ..and just experimenting. Again thanks for the info. Hi,

Unfortunately I am running -current (14 beta) right now and things are not looking good. I installed your prebuilt packages and FreeCAD complained about not finding the right version of many libraries. Instead of trying to go back and make lots of version links to new new libs I attempted to just compile the packages using your slackbuilds. Here is the second issue. Coin will not compile at all. After a few days of research and headache, I had the thought that maybe you were already working on slackware 14 packages. Would you happen to have some that I can help alpha/beta test? I figure that you have a deeper understanding of what these programs need in order to compile and it would be easier to work with you then alone. Can we help each other?

Try with wicd, which you can find in the /extra directory of Slackware. It's a little front-end to configure your wireless interface without editing files :) Regards, Niels Hi,
