Hi
<p>Iam running Suse Linux 6
<p>I have a PC Chips motherboard (M590) with integrated 3D sound onboard.
I
<br>can get sound to work if I use the OSS version 3.9.2, however I only
<br>have a demo copy that will run for 20 minutes at a time. OSS detects
the
<br>Sound chip as a Generic CM18330 PnP. Does anyone know if there is kernel
<br>support under 2.0.36 for 2.2 for this chip set. The sound chip set
is
<br>Windows sound system and SB16 compatible but I can't get these to work.
<p>Thanks

The same can be said of metal and woodshop tools.
However, they are far from trivial to use and

According to Canon US, this is a 'WinPrinter'. It does not recognize

You can still run text-based apps just fine, ie. LYNX for the web, PINE

Mine has always done that too. It seems that the input and output gain on the
card get set to maximum when it's initialized. If you have a mixer program that
lets you adjust the gain settings, turn them down. You don't need them set that
high. If, on the other hand, your card doesn't have adjustable gain, I don't
know what to tell you. (Other than, if you hear noises that vary with what
you're doing on your computer, disable your microphone input when you're not
using a microphone.)

two more things to look at. Are we printing RAW? It could lock up the cpu
untill the file is done printing. Or a cute little problem that we found
running SCO UNIX an unbelievably large printer log file (162 megs). It'll
rewrite printerlog to .old for every print? not sure with linux.

I don't know way, but you have to add some lines to your
isapnp.conf. What you probably have for the wavetable is
(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/249326169 (LD 2
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
# Multiple choice time, choose one only !
# Start dependent functions: priority preferred
# Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
# Minimum IO base address 0x0620
# Maximum IO base address 0x0620
# IO base alignment 1 bytes
# Number of IO addresses required: 4
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
# Start dependent functions: priority acceptable
# Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
# Minimum IO base address 0x0620
# Maximum IO base address 0x0680
# IO base alignment 32 bytes
# Number of IO addresses required: 4
# (IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
# End dependent functions
# Vendor defined tag: 75 01 69 46 35 55
(NAME "CTL00e4/249326169[2]{WaveTable }")
(ACT Y)
))
you need to add under the line
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
the following two lines
(IO 1 (BASE 0x0A20))
(IO 2 (BASE 0x0E20))
then everything should be fine.
I found this info in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/AWE32
I am running kernel 2.2.3, I don't know if it works
also with older drivers... good luck

Daniele

I have a page which shows some sample quotes comparing linux vendors.
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/linux/quotes.html
This is not a complete list, but a partial list which gives you some
idea of the market. I only include the vendors who offer lower prices.
About linux vendors: I know some people who reported
good experiences with SW technologies http://www.swt.com . I am
buying mine from tcu-inc ( http://www.tcu-inc.com ) because their prices
are better.
The advantage of going with Dell is that their warranty is generous,
their service doesn't suck too much, and they will be in business when
your warranty expires. The disadvantage is they don't support linux, and
their parts aren't brilliant under linux.
Buy the monitor seperately ( unless you buy from Dell, who throw in the
monitor at a discounted price when you buy a system ). It will be much
cheaper.
Motherboard:
You don't mention this, but it is more important than the CPU in many
ways, since it represents your "upgrade ceiling". If you go with an
intel CPU, make sure you get a BX based motherboard.
I'm buying a system and my choice is the ASUS P2B-F.
CPU:
Depends on what you are doing. I prefer to spend less on the CPU.
( eg I can put a P350 in my board, and upgrade to a PIII for about $200-
or so next year. )
Monitor:
This greatly effects what the budget for the rest of your system will
look like. Maybe you should start by having a good think about how much
you want to spend on the monitor and what kind of monitor do you want
( shadow mask or trinitron ? it's a religious question again ... )
There are a lot of trade offs here.
For example, a cheap 19" will cost less than a high end 17". Don't get
less than a good 17" (eg Sony GDM 200PS ) or a cheap 19"
( eg : Optiquest V95 ) for the monitor... ( JMHO ... )
You can get good prices on monitors from www.pricewatch.com
Video cards: Do you want:
(a) 3D accel on windows and linux ? ( not that many linux apps have 3d
acceleration ... )
(b) 3D accel on windows. No 3d accel on linux
(c) No 3D acceleration. Just a good 2D card.
My picks:
(a) The only 3d hardware accelerators that work with linux are the
Voodoo and voodoo2 cards ( such as Diaomond Monster I and II ).
Get this + a Matrox G200.
(b) Go with a TNT card such as a Diamond Viper V550 . Note that the
TNT card is the best choice if you get a Dell (IMO )
(c) Matrox G200. The Matrox cards are highly regarded as 2D cards.
Their main weakness is that their 3D performance is so-so ( unless used
in conjunction with a voodoo )
SCSI vs IDE :
Hmmm ... tough one. Religious question.
What are you going to be doing with this machine ?
if you plan to use a lot of storage devices ( eg CDROM + ZIP drive +
tape drive + 2 or more hard drives ) it's a no brainer ( SCSI!!! ). If
you want just one HD + a CDROM and don't plan to add anything , SCSI
seems less appealing unless you really need the extra speed.
You are probably going to find that SCSI really will cut into that
budget unless you're willing to settle for a smaller HD.
Removable media:
I have a parallel port zip. The ppa module in the 2.0.x kernels is
woefully out of date, so it is slow under linux. I use the ZIP drive
because my school have them so I can download over the campus T1. It's
handy for saving my downloads, but too small to be a serious backup
device.
Soundcard:
Linux doesn't do much , sound-wise. All the linux shops
seem to ship the Creative labs cards ( Soundblaster and friends )
My old Soundblaster 16 installed easily in linux. It's adequate for my
needs ( occasional game playing ) but hardly cutting-edge.

Let me add that this is just not possible that with the same INIT

Best,
Andrew
PS. By the way, the fact that you are connecting at 26400bps
could be caused by falling back to V.34 protocol (you are
using x2 instead of K56Flex or something like that). With
V.34 protocol, a modem is more perceptive to the noise of
the line, and falls to usually 26400bps. Well, this sounds
silly (I've read it somewhere on http://www.zoltrix.com),
but where my V.34 modem could do 26400, my K56Flex easily gives
above 45000bps. (I am positive that the V.34 modem was not a
black sheep, either.)

Hello
During installation you cannot configure the NIC. Therefore after complete
installation follow the procedure given below.
1. Execute the command "insmod tlan" at the prompt. 2. Execute the command
"netconf" at the prompt. 3. Configure the NIC by selecting the "Basic Host
Information option" and entering the IP Address, Netmask, Net device as eth0
and Kernal as tlan. 4. Select the "Gateway and routing" option from main menu
and fill in the detail of Gateway address and without fail enable the Gateway
option. 5. Accept the changes and exit from utility. 6. If you are installing
Redhat Linux 5.0 or 5.1 add the line "insmod tlan" in
/etc/rc.d/init/d/network. 7. To confirm about the configuration execute the
command "ifconfig -a" which will display the details of your NIC configured.
