How to change resolution
I've been having problems changing my resolution from 640x480 to 800x600. I tried running xf86config and when I do it sets my resolution to 640x480. Someone told me there's a gui deal to do it called xconfigurator. When I try running that from a command line as root I get "command not found". Anyway, I could use some help. Thanks in advance. This time, I'll try to get back to the list about the results. I have had a few problems that people on this list helped me resolve. Or at least pointed me in the direction that resulted in a resolution. I appreciate the help. Maybe posting the resolutions will help others. -Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs

Do you have xconfigurator installed? Try rpm -qa | grep Xconfigurator If you cant find it. You have to install it first. I think it is included in the RedHat 6.1 CD.

Module problem: can't load tulip.o device busy.
I'm no guru at this module thing. I usually compile everything into the kernel, but I am trying to install a Linksys fastether 10/100 which is suppose to use the tulip driver (RedHat 6.2). My previous network card (linksys eth16) wasn't a problem to get working. I've tried building it into the kernel, no luck. So, I'm trying it as a module. When I do an insmod, it says the device or resource is in use. The card is using IRQ 11, IO=0xF400, ( cat /proc/devices). Nothing shows up on /proc/interrupts. Any help in how to debug this would be appreciated.

Re: How to change resolution
About 2/3 of the way through the xf86config interaction, there is a spot where it asks you if you want to change the order of the resolutions. If you do so for the 8-bit ones, you should be able to get the system to default to 800*600. I think you do it by specifcying an order like 324, but that's from memory so don't trust it as exact. Once X is running, you can change resolutions with CTRL-ALT-(numeric)+ and CTRL-ALT-(numeric)- . But your problem *may* that your video card, or our screen hsync and vsync. do not support 800*600. If that is the case, then no improved configuration tool will help. Without details, I naturally can't say if this is your problem, only that it might be. Now, GUI tools. There are two. XF86Setup and Xconfigurator (think I have the capitalization right on them). If you get "command not found", it probably means the tool wasn't installed. (It could mean that it is on the system but not in your PATH; in this case, use the "find" command to track it down and run it by specifying its full path.) Some distributions will install one or the other in a "normal" installation, but others won't. Since you don't mention what you are running, I can't even guess. Check the CD for whatever you are running and install the apropriate packages (for example, in Debian there is xf86setup; the Debian package manager will take care of its many dependencies; I can't find a .deb for Xconfigurator). Personally, I don't like these tools, but preferences vary. At 04:25 AM 8/6/00 -0700, Steven Ackerman wrote: I've been having problems changing my resolution from 640x480 to 800x600.

Re: Module problem: can't load tulip.o device busy.
Please post again with a more exact description of what you are doing. I use the Linksys LNE100TX NIC here all the time and have no trouble with the tulip driver provided with either Debian Potato or LRP distributions. I doubt RH is shipping an outdated tulip.o. So please clarify the following bits: I've tried building it into the kernel, no luck. What does "no luck" mean? What error do you get during compilation? Or during boot/init? After boot/init, what does "ifconfig -a" say? When I do an insmod, it says the device or resource is in use. Please quote the exact commend you enter and the exact response. What you wrote is similar to some messages I get from insmod'ing but I can't manage an exact match. Is it possible that you are insmod'ing with a kernel that has the driver compiled in? The card is using IRQ 11, IO=0xF400, ( cat /proc/devices). Are you sure of this? On my systems, /proc/devices doesn't contain any information about IRQ or IO. I need to consult /proc/interrupts, /proc/ioports, or /proc/pci (depending on what I'm after). Are RH systems that different from Debian systems?

Repost of: module problem: can't load tulip.o with linksys 10/100lnetx V4.1 card
I can not get my new linksys 10/100LNETX card to be recognized by Linux. It works fine under windows. Let me also state that my prior Linksys ether16 ISA card was working perfectly prior to my 'upgrade.' I am getting one of two problems depending on how I am building the tulip driver. Into the kernel, I get a 'device not found' from issuing a "ifconfig eth0" and at boot time a message "delaying ethernet initialization." "ifconfig -a" shows not interface other than the loopback. As a module, I get "device or resource busy messages" (see below for the actual commands). Some system information that I'm getting, and not getting: From "cat /proc/pci" (Previously I stated it was /proc/devices by mistake) I get the card being recognized: bus 0, device 13,function 0 io at 0xf000 irq 10 ... The PCI slot is recognized when I do a "lspci", but reports the card as a Bridgecom, Inc. as the Mfg. /proc/devices does not show the ethernet card. I'm using the tulip driver (latest, and I've tried the older one for the pain of it). I've built them into the kernel (one at a time) and booted but only get "delaying ethernet connection" and when I do an 'ifconfig eth0: I get a "device not found." When I compile the tulip driver for module support, and try to insmod it, either of the commands below report the same thing of "device or resource busy." insmod tulip response "/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/tulip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy" I've tried with and without modifying the modules.conf setup up with options of: alias eth0 tulip And I've even tried adding the following: alias eth0 irq=10, io=0xf000 None of this made an impact. Looking at /proc/interrupts does not show interrupt 10 as being in use. A matter of fact, I added a modem card and moved slots to change from interrupt 11 to interrupt 10 just to see if that would work. No differences, the same message of "device or resource busy." I noticed that the io=address changed from 0xf400 to 0xf00. Seems natural to me. I do not have a network driver built into this version of the kernel that I am using modules on. I double checked the configuration file (/usr/src/linux/.config) and only have the two tulip drivers compiling as modules. In an attempt to get the network working again, i've removed my SCSI, sound, and other optional features from the kernel, but no help. (I Can't remove my RAID, God help me.) Well, I hope that I said everything that needs to be said. I'll repeat for the sake that it might help, that my system "was" working with the ISA Ether16 from Linksys and that this 100LNETX is Version 4.1, their newest. Perhaps there is something that I'm forgetting to remove regarding my old card? I've looked at the /etc/modules.conf, and even at /etc/sysconfig/... (shouldn't be anything in there regarding hardware.) Thanks in advance.

I have edited /etc/resolv.conf hosts, but I don't think we are there, yet. ;-) I've compiled a kernel with lots of modules except my boot media. I have 'make dep clean zImage zdisk modules modules_install' seemingly withour error. I see lots of 'unresolved sysbols' when booting. If I: ifconfig eth0 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found. If I: insmod ne /lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_open " ethdev_init " and about 4 more lines I did something somewhere while trying to get this NIC to work with isapnp, cause when the kernel boots I see this message: "don't know what to do with IRQ 10 on or around line 22".

Re: ethernet not working
Charles -- Some of what you post here is too vague to troubleshoot. I'll answer what I can. You write: If I: insmod ne /lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol ei_open " ethdev_init " and about 4 more lines ne.o requires that 8390.o be installed first. So either do that with insmod or use modprobe to install ne.o (it takescare of dependencies for you). Now, you also write: I've compiled a kernel with lots of modules except my boot media. I have 'make dep clean zImage zdisk modules modules_install' seemingly withour error. I see lots of 'unresolved sysbols' when booting. It would help if *I* could see them too. But it sounds like you never actually install the zImage you create; at least you don't mention doing so. But the modules_install step may be causing the new modules to overwrite the old ones (depends on what kernel version you are using). Either install the new kernel hy hand or (if your kernel Makefile supports it) do a "make install" step. Be sure to run lilo after you do this. You write: If I: ifconfig eth0 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found. Probably because the module fails, so eth0 doesn't exist. You write: I did something somewhere while trying to get this NIC to work with isapnp, cause when the kernel boots I see this message: "don't know what to do with IRQ 10 on or around line 22". I wonder what file I edited to cause this. H. Me too. You aren't asking us to tell you what file you edited, are you? Without context (where in the boot/init dsequence is this? what precedes and follows it?) it's just a guessing game. Anyway, if you've assigned the card a fixed io and irq with its setup probram, you shouldn't be messing about with isapnp. You write: alias ne io=0x2a0 irq=10 #-- added line. ? that's a decimal ten right? Yes. You can enter the IRQ in hex, but you need to use the 0x prefix. so irq=0xA would also be acceptable. (As would nothing; ne.o requires the io= paramtere but not the irq= one.) At 03:37 PM 8/6/00 -0400, Charles E.

Re: [newbie] Linux resources online
I was using a 1620 in 1970, and it was transistorized, not tubes. Had a 5-meg disk drive (14 inch variety, stacked platters) and punched cards. "High speed" output was to punched cards, and if you wanted something you could read, you had to run the cards through an accounting machine. The really hot computer at the time was the IBM 1130 (unless you had access to one of the 360 variants). The 1130 had assembler, FORTRAN, COBOL, and RPG. Also had the privelege (?) of using an RCA 301, which had 4k of core memory, six vacuum-column tape drives, and a 900-line/minute printer at about the same time. The only thing available on it was assembler. Sure punched a lot of cards on 026 keypunch machines back then. :-) -jdr- Renaud OLGIATI wrote: I remember working on a machine with 4 k memory; but this was a main-frame (IBM 1620) using vacum tubes; input and output by punched cards, and running Fortran II; Must have been in '68 or '69.

Re: [newbie] Linux resources online
Gee, what memories you bring back! I learned FORTRAN II on an IBM 1620 Model 1 (no disk drive) at NYU in the mid-60s, subsequently upgraded to a Model II with a 5meg drive. I then went on to do a lot of programming on an 1130 In 1971 I went to work for a company which made a microprogrammable replacement for the IBM 1130 which was much faster. Somehow in IBM's master plan, the 1130 had too good a price/performance ratio to improve it further since that would put it in competition with models like the 360/44 David - Original Message - From: Jim Reimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: *List Linux-Newbie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2000 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Linux resources online I was using a 1620 in 1970, and it was transistorized, not tubes.

Re: Simple Serial port question
/proc/interrupts does NOT list all supported interrupts. It just lists the ones that have actually been used.

If you have some other reason for believing that ... like you actually tried to access the unidentified "piece of hardware" on the second serial port and failed ... please describe in more detail what the hardware is, how you tried to access it, and what went wrong. Maybe we can help, but not if we don't know what the actual problem is. In any case, a linx kernel may or may not have serial-device support installed (either compiled in or insmod'ed).

Aug 6 11:25:29 debian pppd[274]: rcvd [LCP ConfRej id=0x1 auth pap] Looks like the remote pppd is satisfied with the shell login and doesn't want to be bothered with PAP. Maybe you can try noauth in /etc/ppp/options. Good catch, Lawson. I'd missed that he had "auth" in that file AND didn't override it in the command-line options that invoke pppd (the usual workaround). But I wanted to follow up because the way you wrote your response, David (and others) might be misled about the meaning of "auth". From the pppd man page: auth Require the peer to authenticate itself before allowing network packets to be sent or received. This option is the default if the system has a default route. If neither this option nor the noauth option is specified, pppd will only allow the peer to use IP addresses to which the system does not already have a route. In other (perhaps clearer?) words, the "auth" option requires the *other* end to authenticate itself to *you*. I've never found an ISP implementation of ppp that does this; it's normally used with the so-called "server" end of a ppp connection (the end that answers the phone), not the so-called "client" end (the end that makes the phone call). From the frequency with which this comes up, I'd guess that "auth" is the most misunderstood option in pppd. -- "Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski-- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA[EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
Re: fetchmail/minicom
Good. You've found the answer. Your chatscript reported using "davidturetsky" as userid, but the ISP expects "MSN/davidturetsky". Change the chstscript and see if pppd (however you invoke it - I don't have the backfile of your messages handy) now works correctly.
