Thanks, but I did that already. The question was whether DC-310 will work
with the DC-390 driver. If someone has non-meta information about this then
please email me.
If there is still no advice then I guess I'll just give it a try anyway with
RH6.

I believe the BIOS limitation for this unit is 4.2GB, as you've found
out. Aside from latest BIOS or perhaps an add-in card there isn't much
that you can do.

Hi,
A couple of days I replaced my old mouse with a Logitech Cordless Wheel
Mouse. The thing is I can't get the middle button (neither the scroll
wheel) to work under Debian Linux. The mouse can be plugged into a PS/2
or serial port. I use the serial one.
Could someone indicate me the correct configuration (XF86config,
kernel, etc.)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

You have to compile your kernel with APM support, and with "Poweroff on
shutdown" option. I don't know if any of the standard kernels from RedHat
has this option, since I'm mainly using them fo booting only the first
time. I can help you compile your kernel if you need to: my experience
tells that it is only a matter of doing the right commands, and carefully
reading every comment about what you don't know in the options. Takes a
little time the first one. :-)

You should be more precise about "flickers a bit" ?
Anyway, are you sure you selected the right X server for your card?
Hope this helps

Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 12:49:31 GMT
Hi,
Maybe someone can help me out because I do have
2 problems:
1. I recently acquired a PCMCIA ISDN AVM A1 and
I would like to use it under Linux. As far as
I could go, I understood that I need a
module named : "avma1_cs.o". I could download
the following package from an RPMFind site :
http://rpmfind.doc.ic.ac.uk/suse/updates/SuSE-6.1/a1/pcmcia-3.0.10-0.i386.html
It seems that this packet has been built by SuSE ... but
they don't answer to my mails.
Maybe someone has the same card as me and know how
to use it!
==================================================
2. I would like to video-conference using Linux. As
being a complete newbee concerning video-things, I
would appreciate your comments!
thanks in advance,
Jean-Yves Bitterlich

Subject: ISAPNP startup NIC config
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 1999 14:14:00 GMT
Hello,
i've got an Intel Etherexpress pro 10+ PNP ISA
NIC. That i can get to work,
however i've been unsuccessful at getting the
module to load at init, which in turn makes
me worried about activating the network device at boot.
ISAPNP will configure the card during initialization phase,
but i've tried putting a line in my rc.local file
to load the module
"modprobe eepro.o io=0x0210 irq=9"
but it doesn't load the module, and i think it has something
to do with permission because the very last line of init fails;
however when i check dmesg it doesn't say anything about it.
so to get my Net connection to work, i have to load the module
by hand and then open activate the device in control-panel.
i hope at least some of this made sense,
a Linux baby,
Joel

Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 10:41:15 -0400
Doing just this perplexed me the other night. I have my root on a 152x and
boot off of an IDE partition.
Everything was working fine with 2.0.35 kernel off of Red Hat CD. I even
rebuilt it a number of times trying different things.
Installed the 2.0.36 patch, because the tulip driver needed for my NDC
10/100 NIC says it needs 2.0.36. Ok, so I build it, configuring with 'make
xconfig' (first time I've used it rather than the text config). Everything
seemed to go well, put the kernel in /ideboot, added an entry in
/etc/lilo.conf so I could keep the 2.0.35, did an /sbin/lilo. Reboot, and
.... no scsi driver. I know on the SCSI config settings, I checked the
first option (which was Configure SCSI support) and the 152x support. (This
was two days ago so its a little fuzzy).
It seems like I built a module rather than compiling it in, but I can't
figure out why it happened.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
