1. stale NFS file handle
        2.4.2-ac28 serving nfs3 from reiserfs
        2.4.3 being nfs3 client,
        nfs damn slow on 100Mbps p2p link.
        mounted nfs with rsize=8192,wsize=8192
        nfs fast.
        soon got :
                bash-2.04$ls
                ls .: stale NFS file handle
        just about home directory it says so.

2. Hard lockup:
        G450, I set con2fb, switch consoles some times and there it comes.
        swithc between X and single console is OK.

3. seems that I have G450 and linux shows it as G400.
        bash-2.04$ /sbin/lspci:
        01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 82)
        /proc/pci:
         VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 130).
        /sbin/lspci -n
        01:00.0 Class 0300: 102b:0525 (rev 82)
        
        at least when I finally, after a longlong braindamage, started
        using G450 stuff everywhere, it become more and more usable.
        for dual fb X it is stable and usable now.
        
        G400 drivers also work, but matroxset aint switching second head
        to monitor output, neither does anything else. It remains blank.

elmer.
