XFree 3.2 hebrew and Re: DMA prob..
Does anyone use XFree 3.2 with hebrew?
Trying to use the same instructions that worked with 3.1.?
worked fine, except for the ScrollLock key that did not work.
I managed to write some Xkb files to have an "he" keyboard mapping,
but having found no documentation of the Xkb extension, they look
bad, and don't do all that I want them to.
If someone found a better solution, please share it with me
(and the rest of the list.)

The Triton chipset does not have an EIDE port, but two IDE ports,
and you found the difference:
The two devices on an IDE port must use the same transfer method and
speed (which means the speed of the slower device.)
You better put both harddrives on the primary controller,
since you gain nothing from putting them on two different controllers
anyway.
I must warn you though, that with two Quantum drives (500 fireball and
700 prodrive) on a VX board, The drives work in DMA mode, but I get that
error message sometime after a few hours of uptime.
Manually setting them to DMA mode again, works.
I don't have (_yet_) any corrupted filesystem due to that problem.
