I have no idea what the options for the inputattach command should be.
There is a website at http://www.suse.cz/development/input/ that should
have the inputattach utility if you don't have it compiled. (NOTE: All
this stuff is in /usr/src/linux-2.4.4/Documentation/joystick.txt )
Also make sure that /dev/input/js0 is major 13 and minor 0.

you paid several thousand dollars for hardware which was not made to
work with your particular setup and never made any claims to. this
illustrates to me that you are a fucking retard. who cares what
'other vendors' do with their hardware they are not sgi and they did
not make the 1600SW so that point is moot.

You must have APM support compiled into the kernel, and you must execute
the apm -s command as root. When I try this on my desktop (Abit KT7
board), the machine appears to go dead, but the power-supply, CPU, and
hard drive fans keep spinning. You can use hdparm to turn the IDE
drives off, but the power supply and CPU fans may be a little trickier.
What did you try, and what error messages did you get/what happened?

Well, given the lifetime of a card in terms of market share might be 6
months, and ATI seems to be thumbing their noses at anything but
winderz, there will no doubt be another, even greater, card that fits
this market niche by the time the driver coders can coax enough info out
of ATI to write a bare bones driver. But look at the utah leg on
sourceforge, they, or on Xig.com, either might have a working driver
before XFree86 gets around 'tuit'. Neither XFree86, nor Xig have
anything that works ATM.
I note with a certain amount of glee/trepidation, that Nvidia just
released new linux drivers for most of their current crop of cards, its
on freshmeat in today's listing.
I can't judge the Nvidia drivers as there are no local cards available,
and after my experience in doing email ordering 2 years ago, I druther
buy locally, where when they ask if I "want the warranty too", I can
reply that I'd always figured my bill of sale and my 357 were warranty
enough for me. :)
It may well be a fast card for the money, but for me, without any
windoze to run it with, its 4 oz of weight I could lose in favor of a
refund. That was cheerfully given, but I'm not sure I quite understand
Staples return policy. Instead of running it back thru the heat sealer
and selling it to the next windoze user, it was marked out, bad, and
will be smashed and disposed of, "to prevent some dumpster diver from
bringing it back in for a refund". For a windoze user, I have serious
doubts thre was anything wrong with that card as long as it was being
driven by their (ATI's) winderz driver.

Very frustrating trying to get this adapter to work.
Realtek RTL8139(A) PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
There is a Linux driver on the disk however it is an object file and is
for the wrong kernel version.
The readme referred me to a Ftp site ; CESDIS ; which in return
referred me to http://www.scyld.com.
I got the uncompiled drivers for both RTL8139 and Tulip. I can't get
either of them to compile due to problems with the kern_compat.h file.
Parse error is the first error.
I don't really expect help here, but if you are aware of this issue and
any resolution I would appreciate it.

Since 3dFX is gone, and the generic drivers just plain old suck in

Now either or 3-5 works with XFree86 4.03.

Sure you can.
SGI sign non-disclosure-agreement, with #9, in order to develop with it.
#9 goes down the pan.
I at #10, buy the whole company from the liquidators for $57, then
sell the furniture/offices.
But, if SGI want to release specs got under an NDA, they probably need
to get permission from #10.

While it's a fine idea in general that people nowadays add Linux
drivers, such as for other OSes, in this case it's unnecessary :
the vanilla 2.2.18+ / 2.4.x kernels give you the choice among
2 different drivers...

That shows how old the included driver, or at least the
documentation, must be : AFAIK, Donald Becker left NASA CESDIS
and works at scyld.com (or did he found that ?) for some 2 years
now.

Tulip driver won't work with your rtl8139, period. There have been
some major changes in the networking code recently. Probably your source
file doesn't really match to the kernel you're using (or trying to
compile ?). I can't help you more with that, because you give us
*far* too less information : kernel version ? distribution ?
version of the source file ? "rtl8139.c" or, "8139too.c" ?
What other HW (Mainboard etc., other PCI devices) ? Does your
NIC show up in BIOS summary ? What about "lspci ?" - Please...

The former is obvious, the latter irrelevant.
Now let's get serious ;-) :
I recommend, you first try to load either of the two available modules,
"rtl8139" or "8139too", manually. Beware : that does only apply for
kernel versions > 2.2.18 or 2.4 series, but you didn't tell us that.
For older kernels, it's only the "rtl8139". Hence, you'd try
"/sbin/insmod rtl8139" - and I bet, it works and you can continue
setting up your network...
If that fails, however, why ? Does the appropriate module exist at
all ("find /lib/modules -name '*8139*'") ? Look at /var/log/messages
and / or /var/log/warn for relevant messages ?
If still not lucky, maybe try to build a new kernel with the "standard"
module(s) first.
That is, in /usr/src/linux, issue "make menuconfig" (or, "make xconfig"
if under X).
IMPORTANT : Enable the "experimental" drivers option in "General Setup",
otherwise you won't get the choice of the 8139 driver(s).
Then do "make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install", and that's it.
Again, I bet, at that point it should do.
Enough for this time, and enough for you to check...
But PLZ - _more input_ also !!! And, the linux kernel and its drivers
are extremely well documentated (you might be not used to that as a
M$ "slave") - read that, read that, read that.

Nah, that wasn't called for. Immature I think is the word, where you
feel you have to call names mixed with profanity. In addition to being
childish and over-reacting, you are, in your attempts to represent SGI
in this matter, doing them a serious dis-service. I trust they will
consider that come monday morning.
Note that generally speaking, I'm on the users side here, and if it
won't do something its supposed to/should do, then he has the ultimate
power, that of publicizing the problems WITH the truth. And of course
the check can be stopped and the merchandise returned in good condition.
Both of you should keep that in mind in case you want to bring in the

Waterfall Pro primarily works by throttling your CPU. The program can
directly manage the computer's fan rotation if the power supply gets too
erratic. While laptop users will enjoy getting more out of the batteries

of mind. Waterfall Pro may be your last line of defense against the
tragedy of a cooked computer.
