Pentium III chip with the individual serial number that can
track your web surfing and buying habits can now have the ID number
turned on and off by software. Following some links I found the
www.fightdivx.com website and noticed that they have a Intel Boycott
page with links, quotes and info on why you should boycott the
invasion of privacy Pentium III chips. Just like everyone suspected,
the ID number can be taken without a customers knowledge. Just like
cellular phone fraud, once someone has your unique ID number, they
could pose as you on the internet. Do not be fooled by reports that
this problem is fixed because Intel disabled this feature by software
on their up coming chips. Information is power. They want to know
your surfing and buying habits. That is what this is all about. Here
is the link to the page with the boycott info and links.
http://www.fightdivx.com/intelboycott.htm
http://www.bigbrotherinside.com/
Also you will find a Boycott Intel screen saver and banner on their
page above. Spread it around.

My 2 cents.
Last year I setup a system with a SiS 6326 AGP.
At the time XFree86 was at version 3.3.2 which
did not come with support for the card. I was able to
find a server for the card at the S.u.S.E. web site
but then soon after that 3.3.3 came out.
I was never very happy with this card. I could never
get more than 256 color unless I ran it at 800x600.
Last month I dumped the SiS and bought a Viper 550 AGP.
Now I'm pulling 1600x1200 with 16 million colors.
I haven't tried any other AGP cards but I'm more than
pleased with the Diamond Viper 550 AGP. And I will
stay away from the SiS 6326 chip set.

Subject: SB128 PCI -- How to configure new kernels?
Date: 19 Mar 1999 13:48:26 GMT
I believe that there is a means of getting the SoundBlaster128 PNP card to
work with the newer kernels, but I have not succeeded yet. Any help is much
appreciated.
I believe that there are problems "initialising" the PNP card. As I recall
from a HOWTO, this can be done via windows. Certainly, sound does work
without difficulty when I boot Windows NT. The PNP tools does not work with
this system; the README claimed that this is the case with newer boards and
PCI ethernet cards, and that the cause of the problem is not known. I'm
hoping that the fact that the card works with Windows NT means that the card
must now be initialised (whatever that might mean).
Cheers,
Mike Dowling

I had a similar problem because both my modem and my sound card
were ISA plug-and-play, and they were conflicting. This was also
under RH5.2 (and 5.1 and 5.0).
There is a file called `isapnp.conf' in the /etc directory which configures
the ISA devices. Basically, I had to go in and set up that file so that
the modem and soundcard no longer conflicted with each other:
I used `pnpdump' to create the `isapnp.conf' file in the /etc directory.
Then, use an editor to uncomment the lines where you want your
devices to be put (I just took the preferred settings for each device).
Then, run `isapnp isapnp.conf' and see if your modem starts working.
You might have to reboot (when you reboot, RedHat runs isapnp
automatically, so you don't have to run it again).
Don't forget to uncomment the (ACT Y) lines in the file.

I have a V.Everything, also upgraded via the official USR Windows95 software
and it connects to my ISP at 40.0 nearly every time using the V.90 protocol.
It is difficult to see the connect speed in Windows. Relying on the system
tray to tell you is not exactly accurate. Note that 52000 is roughly twice
your 26400 rate. That could be a clue that you're not dialing in as fast as
you expect.
Of course, you could have done all this research already yourself and I could
be going on and on about stuff you already know, but I just thought I'd put
in my two cents.
Good luck,
Paul.

No, I don't think this is "way simpler". (Me: longtime linux user, admin,
hacker, programmer, etc.) The poster has a -very- valid point that system
configuration needs to have a canonical and easy to drill-down interface. A key
sequence is bad, because you have to memorize it. It's also bad because it's
hard to document. (Where -is- it documented? By whom? The Linux distribution
maker, or XFree, or the window manager programmer?)
Having configurations in one place (like, starting in the properties tool)
-eliminates- the need for documentation about where to find it. This is -the-
scalable solution. It's just good software engineering that something that
eliminates the need to document is usu. better.
Although I'm an experienced Linux user, I wish that Linux was better in this
respect. Most people want to get a job done, or do their particular thing. For
me, that's doing OO programming on Linux. Every minute I spend learning how to
tune/configure X-Windows is a minute wasted.

Hi everyone,
I have installed RedHat 5.2 according to the book, and now I want to upgrade
to XFree 3.3.3.1. I downloaded and installed the following RPMs:
XFree86-3.3.3.1
XFree86-SVGA
XFree86-VGA16
XFree86-libs
XFree86-XF86Setup
XFree86-75dpi-fonts
When I select my STB nVidia card and hit OK in Xconfigurator, I get a
segmentation fault. Is the problem that I'm using Xconfigurator? Do I need
to be using XF86Setup instead? And if not, are there any other packages
that I need before I can configure XFree86 3.3.3.1?
Thanks,
Eric Brown

I know that there are quad Intel boxes, just as I know there are lower
priced Alpha systems.. the ones I originally mentioned were somewhat
equivalent in a server environment (without getting into the details of
the MB architecture) in that they had the same amount of memory (256MB),
the same amount of disk space (9.1GB) and the same type of disk
subsystem (U2W SCSI)... one *primary difference is that its a *single*
Alpha vs. a *dual* Intel at approximately the same clock speed (533Mhz
for Alpha, vs 500Mhz for Intel). Some app mixes would do better on the
dual Intel setup, other mixes would do better on the single Alpha
system...

I have the same modem and it works find in a dual boot box

XFree86 supports the TNT just fine for me, so I would assume that you

You are aware that this is an "LX" chipset motherboard? (if you were going to
run slower P2's or Celerons, it would be fine, but it won't do the 100 Mhz FSB,
of the 350+ P2's) -- All else should be fine, and I'm looking at getting one or

MO Model - Fujitsu Slim FN 640 Turbo scsi
I have saw the howto on hardware and it say that I need to
download
a patch in order to support 2048 block size..
But after I download the patch and run under /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < 2048dif-2.0.36
It got the following error::
patching file `drivers/scsi/scsicam.c'
Hunk #1 FAILED at 48.

Hi,
I had a compaq presario with the SupraExpress Pro 56i (56K modem). I've
troubles with the modem init. I wroted: AT+MS=V34,1,28800,33600 - but the
xisp say the modem init had failed.. :-( - maybe the carriage return code
doesn't here? If it's the reason, what is the carriage return code for
linux?
Thanks.
Claus

It does : I have RedHat 5.1 and an Adaptec 2940UW

Nope : ordinary mode worked fine for me, booting off the
CD directly. If you're booting from a floppy, you'll need one
that's specifically aware of the 2940 in order to be able to
use it during the installation.

Nothing special.

Nope.

It's best if you can boot straight off the CD, or if not, boot
into DOS, get access to the CD, and run the install batchfile,
which uses a program called 'loadlin' to boot the linux kernel
into memory directly from your CD. Once linux is running, it can
recognise your CD and the 2940 card, and everything should work
perfectly.
If I recall correctly, the batch file is under the 'dosutils'
directory on the RedHat CD.
Once you're actually running Linux, you might want to recompile
your kernel with custom options, including your SCSI card.
Assuming you have configured XWindows and are running it at
that stage, type :
cd /usr/src/linux
make xsetup
and you'll be given a graphical menuing system allowing you to
select kernel compilation options. Find the SCSI menu, and enable
the Adaptec 2940 option (it's listed under the AIC7000 series
or something, but it *is* mentioned by name).
Follow the directions for recompiling your kernel, and everything
should work :-)
Regards,
Vin

Thanks for the help Paul. As to the connection speed in Linux it is
noticeable slower than windows even if the windows tray does not give
exactly the right speed. Using wvdial in Linux it shows that I am not
in V90 or X2 mode so I am not sure exactly what is going on.
