Re: Nvidea-GeForce2ConfigProblem
I've got an athalon system with integrated nvidea geforce2 svga, ethernet, modem, sound card on a single chip (I believe). I found the debian packages for patching the current Woody X systems and kernel to be confusing, I prefer leaving kernel work to myself with straight downloads from kernel.org and nvidia.com The nvidia site has a very detailed description of what XF86Config-4 settings to use (XFv3 is *not* supported) and what not to use. If there is interest, I'll post/send my kernel .config and XF86Config-4 files. I include framebuffer and AGP support in the kernel (2.4.19), and use the kernel's AGP so far rather than the nvidia version.

Re: safe to upgrade slink to potato?
One apparrent success: apt-get dist-upgrade slink - potato on an old ast laptop. The kernel is actually 2.0.29 and hasn't been changed for a long time! (I still have it so I don't break my pcmcia ethernet, mostly due to laziness). Only problem I have seen is that the new system tried to load every possible kernel module on the planet, include a dreaded sbpcd module that spends 10 minutes looking for its card on bootup. There are warnings during the upgrade about this, and pointers to the new module loading configuration. Thanks for the excellent work. nathan Pollywog [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On 26-Dec-1999 Tobias Zimpel wrote: Well, I broke my system completely a few weeks ago with a simple (segfaulting) 'apt-get dist-upgrade' while I was running potato for months without serious problems.

Humble Request Re: New release over due
I appreciate the fine quality of the debian distribution and the work that goes into it. Thanks very much! It is my preferred linux distribution. However, I have three systems that are at slink level, and have been waiting for a long time for a 2.2.* kernel, gnome (available outside official debian), etc. Some earlier discussions about the true instability of the potato release have prevented me from starting the upgrade path yet. Perhaps I am getting old and lazy? Hmm. How about this for a practical suggestion: After Potato, *please* limit the scope of the feature changes that will take place before a new release. A 3-4 month cycle seems more appropriate to this kind of development. Make your goals more modest! Debian is already the best linux distro I have seen, with the only drawback that is is *many* months behind the newest features (if you stick with a stable version - if anyone on the newsgroup whines that they have hosed their system via an unstable upgrade attempt, they are admonished what do you expect? ).

Hitting web site consistently dropped ppp connection?
I've got a weird one, folks. I've got a debian slink box serving as router for a network connected to the internet by a dialup ppp connection. It does some masquerading for the other systems on the local network, which include another slinkbox and a redhat 5.2 system. Yesterday, following the link: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=99/03/20/1158230pid=0#35 , reading with netscape 4.07 on the redhat 5.2 system, killed my ppp connection to the internet from my slink router. This happened reproducibly (5 times) when I hit that particular page (not a couple other pages at slashdot), at around 64K of download. I sent lots of other test stuff over the ppp connection with no problems. Is there a ghost in the machine? How could that happen? Is this a freak coincidence or the tickling/exploit of a pppd bug? It there an escape sequence embedded in the transfer that could reset the modem? Perhaps I am just a victim of a freak coincidence. Thanks for any ideas, nathan -- Nathan O.

Upgrade to 1.2, Netscape Java solution, etc.
Hello: Before I talk about problems, let me say that the 1.2 release that the people here have produced is very impressive and fairly solid. Nice work! I've got an AST Ascentia laptop running with full X, mouse, sound, ethernet, ppp, and power management. All with just a few days of tweaking by someone who only marginally knows what he is doing. Now: Netscape 3.01 does not perform nearly as well with the new release as it did with deb 1.1. I have basically had to turn Java off in order to keep it from crashing every five minutes. It seems there are problems with the later linux c libraries that break netscape (reveal a bug?). I saw a workaround by looking through dejanews (setting library load paths to point to old libraries before netscape is run), but the author specifically said this was not a fix for the (a) java problem. What's the best way to workaround this? (I've got jdk, but would like netscape java too). Some small notes: I recompiled the kernel for sound, which works fine, except that the module does not get automatically loaded when something like bplay tries to use /dev/dsp. Isn't kerneld or a similar daemon supposed to deal with this? Killing the gpm process hangs my system (I was not on a network so I don't know if I could telnet in or not, the keyboard was frozen). Does this happen on other boxes? I got an undescriptive error when dselect tried to remove the package from my system, I had to take it away by hand. Ick. Finally: My XF86Config took some tweaking to get the 800x600 screen to function without weird effects. With the precompiled kernel, I got it almost perfect, except that the screen was shifted about 50 pixels to the right of center. Funny thing is, when I cooked up my own kernel, the problem went away. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but *why* would that happen?
