Hi,
I am running RedHat 6.0 with kernel version 2.2.5-15. I have
soundblaster PCI 512. I have searched
through this newsgroup but there are no postings pertaining to the above
soundcard.
Does anyone know where I can download the appropriate sound driver that
work s with sb pci 512?
Any help would be appreciated.

Depends on your application.
You may never have a need to completely traverse your sparse matrix. If
you only need get/set operations and maybe doing local traversals over
regions of the matrix, your concern becomes unimportant.
On the other hand, if you can eliminate all the sparse-matrix-handling
code and let the memory management hardware do most of the work for you
(perhaps by using a 4K memory page for each populated matrix cell), it
may be beneficial for the application's overall performance.
Or maybe not. It depends on the application. One algorithm never fits
all.

Subject: Where did my SB64 go ?
Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 21:18:11 GMT
I've been happily enjoying sound from my SoundBlaster 64 for a long
time. Then, I decided to patch my existing kernel, 2.2.11, to the latest
and greatest 2.2.12. Now, I don't have sound... ;-( Honestly, I changed
nothing else!
Can someone point me in the right direction?? Please ?? At bootup, I get
this error:
"Finding module depend..."
conf:4: missing module argument
can't open
Here's what my /etc/conf.modules sound portion looks like:
alias sound sb
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
options opl3 io=0x388
alias midi awe_wave
post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
That was created by RedHat's "sndconfig" program. Previously, I had only
this:
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
and it worked fine. I don't need all the other stuff anyways.
Nonetheless, I "#" out the extra lines, with no change.
Finally, something added the following to my /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file:
load sound modules
if [ -n "$USEMODULES" ]; then
if grep -s -q "^alias sound" /etc/conf.modules ; then
action "Loading sound module" modprobe -a sound
fi
if grep -s -q "^alias midi" /etc/conf.modules ; then
action "Loading midi module" modprobe -a midi
fi
fi
It originally did *not* have the "-a" after the modprobe command. I
added it... it made no difference. I also commented *all* of those lines
out. Again, that made no difference either !!
Can anyone help ??
Thanks in advance!

Date: Wed, 01 Sep 1999 21:31:04 GMT
Can someone give me some instruction to get my 3com 56k v90 isa PnP modem
(model 5687-02 no jumper) to work with RH6. Serial port Com2 is disable
in the bios. a 3com 3c905-TX NIC is not being use in RH6 but under
Windows. All other cards working fine for RH6/Win89/NT.
RH6 running on its own physical harddrive (pullout) along with Win98/NT.
Under windows the modem works fine COm2 for Win98 default irq and i/o but
NT use irq7.
here are the step I did so far.
Run pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf to create isapnp.conf file. The modem is
the only isa pnp in my system.
Remove all the comment (#s) in isapnp.conf so that the modem setting is on
ttyS1 ~ COM2.
Run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
When I run setserial /dev/ttyS1 it report that the irq and i/o of the
modem no conflict with other devices in the system.
When I go run kppp it say the modem is busy.
During the boot process I can see that pnp module load successfully.
is there any other step that I left out?
thanks

The Zip Zoom SCSI card is a real SCSI interface. It's based on
Adaptec's 1502 chipset. It's not very fast, but if you have it working
on Linux with the Zip, it should work with other devices as well.
As for using it with the scanner, no. The Zoom card that comes with the
Zip drive only has an internal interface connector. It does not have an
external jack, where you'd need to attach the scanner.
You might be able to get or make a cable to go from the card, to the zip
drive, and then to the back panel of your computer, where you could then
attach the scanner. If you actually want to try this, go ahead, but I
wouldn't expect much.
You can not run the cable from the back-panel to the SCSI card, and then
to the Zip drive. To do that, you'd have to remove the on-board
terminating resistors on the Zoom ard, and they're soldered down. I
don't recommend trying to remove them.
You're far better off buying a cheap SCSI card that has both internal
and external connectors and replacing the Zoom with that. Consult the
hardware compatibility list for your Linux distribution before you go
shopping, to make sure you get one that works. (I'm using an old
Adaptec 1542B for my Zip/CD/Tape drives. It works OK, but Linux can't
auto-detect it when the BIOS is disabled. Creating an
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules script with the appropriate insmod command took
care of that.)

I've been having the same problem --- can someone
confirm if the ES1370/1 module is only available
on 2.0.x or only on 2.2.x? I have a SuSE setup
with kernel
2.0.36 and it's not in the distribution; the
sound HOWTO is relevant to 2.2.4 only so is
quite helpful enough to me.

Stay clear of anything that sounds or looks like a WINModem.
With the name WIN you can assume that it will (yeah right) work in
Windows, but it most likely will not work in Linux of any flavor. These
modems are designed to work with drivers that are written for the Windows
OSes.
Get a reasonably priced name brand like USR or Zoom, depending on whether
your ISP supports x2 or Kflex. Just because the ISP says they're v.90
modems doesn't mean that you'll get the same performance with x2 on a
Kflex chipset based modem at the ISP or vice versa.
Hope this helps

Here is an excerpt from the Release Notes at www.xfree86.org
that may apply:
4. Bugs and Limitations
The 500TX and MX chipsets cannot switch modes, therefore only the first
mode on the modes line is available.
In some color depths without acceleration there are color problems.
While the server is accelerated, there is room for improvement. As our
development is focusing on XFree86-4.0 we are not planning to change that
in the 3.3.x branch. XFree86-4.0 will include a significantly faster
server.

AFAIK, the modem makers are keeping the hardware specs of these chips to
themselves. Makes it hard-to-impossible for third parties (like Linux
developers) to write their own drivers.
I suppose it's possible that the modem makers might someday write a
Linux driver, but I don't think it's at all likely.

This is really helpful to me, on an obsure solution! I'm using
kernel 2.0.36 which doesn't seem to have the ES1370 module
however. Can soomeone confirm if it's available for
the 2.0.x series or only for 2.2.x? The latest sound HOWTO
is relevant to kernel 2.2.4 only so is not (quite) helpful
enough.

If Win9x is currently installed, go to the device manager (off of the
System control panel) and use it to inventory your hardware. I'd write
down every device's port, IRQ, DMA and memory resource allocations.
They may come in handy if you have to manually configure anything.
The hardest part, IMO, will be getting X operating. Check your
documentation to find out what chip is controlling your video. Then
check the xfree86.org web site to see if it's compatible.
Also, check your docs to see what refresh frequencies the LCD panel
supports. Although you may want use slower refreshes anyway. An LCD
panel shouldn't flicker, even at low-refresh frequencies. I run
everything at 60Hz refresh, to keep power consumption down in the video
chip.
If it is, you shouldn't have much of a problem. Just boot the CD or
floppy that your installer is on and let 'er rip.
I installed it on a Dell Latitude (Pentium-100) notebook. It worked
great. This notebook had no CD-ROM drive, so I plugged in a 3Com
Ethernet PCMCIA card and installed it via FTP from another computer's
CD-ROM drive.
I was pleasantly surprised at how simple the installation was. The only
problem was the video card. Whenever X probed for the clocks numbers,
it got bogus values. Fortunately, xf86config provided some generic
numbers in comments, just above where the incorrectly-probed ones were
stored. When I used those, everything worked fine.
