Hi. Got a new computer which has a Dlink 530 Tx 10/100 ethernet NIC. I
checked out their site and it says that 2 flavors of unix are supported ( i
think sco and something else).
Would anyone know if this nic is supported under linux.
Appreciate all help

Subject: lp0 will not be detected anymore
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 19:23:42 GMT
I recently lost my lp0 pport. It was working fine then one day it just
stoped being detected on boot. Reading the printer fax there was
mention that sometimes the bios/PnP settings interfere with detection.
I disabled PnP and still had no detection. I changed the bios settings
for each irq setting for the pport without luck.
Doing a cat /proc/devices come up empty for any lp device with each
change.
I have not installed any new hardware that could conflict with the
pport.
Under /dev/ lp0 lp1 lp2 are all listed but the computer is just not able
to assign lp to any of these devices anymore.
I'm just not sure where to poke around anymore..
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Install Cyber CS9100U scsi card?
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 17:54:10 GMT
It has linux driver without any documentation about installatoin, so I
dont know how to install that driver. But I found linux support a scsi
card whose driver name is same as Cyber CS9100U, it is atp870u (ACARD
scsi)> I execute 'insmod atp870u', then it displays:

example:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
it says:

(maybe nsmod driver'?)
Did I do comething wrong? Or you know how to install this scsi card?
Thanks in advance.

First thing: Do not assign any other name than "localhost" to the
ip address 127.0.0.1. You should choose an ip address from the
private address pool (like you did for your "amiga" and "linux"
entries).
Next, you should make sure that your routing is set up correctly;
when sendmail is started it tries to determine its hostname, and
if that's impossible it will connect to the DNS found in your
/etc/resolv.conf) to conduct some more inquiries.
So you should have an entry in your hosts-file for every single
ip address used for routing in your /etc/hosts in order to
prevent useless name lookups via your provider; alternatively you
can set up a caching-DNS to get rid of this problem, but a wisely
arranged /etc/hosts is a good start, too.
And there's no need to put addresses like "0.0.0.0" in your
/etc/hosts; if you use a dynamic-ip connection to the 'net
you should take a look at /etc/ppp/options.ppp. Most Linux
distributions enable you to input your provider data via
easy to use graphical interfaces; read your documentation.
Bye,
Bolo

RH 6.0 does include the drivers, but Xconfigurator is busted. This will
be fixed in the 3.3.5 release.
For now, run Xconfigurator and answer the questions as best as you can.
Do not have it probe the card for memory, but manually tell it you've
got 8MB.
Then go into /etc/X11/XF86Config and make some manual edits as per my
attached file. I've cut out just the device section, which is where the
problems are. Xconfigurator writes out the memory info in the VideoRam
line, but comments it out. Remove the comment, add the 3 option lines,
and restart X. You should be up and running in 10 minutes.
Cheers,

Subject: Trouble installing sound galaxy card
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 22:29:28 +0200
Hi,
For some time I've been trying to install my Aztech Labs Sound Galaxy
(chip 2316/R) card without success. The card is in the list of supported
cards which comes with the kernel. I did try several options but the
maximun I could get was 'some' sound (only 8bit sound at halve speed)
when compiling it as SB in the kernel. 16Bit .wav files result in loud
noise only.
My pc has:
Linux Kernel 2.2.7
Basic system: Suse 6.0
Sound and oss compiled in kernel
SB support compiled in kernel
irq=5, io=220, dma=3&1, MPUio=330, MPUirq=10
These settings are like the windows settings.
Who can help me setting up my card?
Mike

The default host name is localhost. I changed my host name to something
else and it seemed to quit getting renamed when I log on to the server.
My guess is that if the server sees 'localhost' it renames it to insure
uniqueness. I left the alias localhost.localdomain. Changing that
seemed cause problems with the system. It was quite some time ago and I
don't remember the details.

Subject: Mustek scanner & SANE
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 1999 23:12:46 GMT
Hello everybody,
I'm running SUSE 6.1 with the Iomega Zip kernel installed.
I'm trying to get my Mustek 1200SP scanner to work under SANE and am
experiencing the following difficulty:
After installation of SANE the documentation suggests doing a:
scanimage --list-devices
and indicates that the response should be:
device 'mustek:/dev/scanner' is a Mustek 1200SP flatbed scanner
device 'pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device 'pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
I get the pnm:0 and pnm:1 responses, but no reference to /dev/scanner.
I'm using the SCSI adaptor that came with the scanner which may be a
problem, but, as I'm only experimenting with Linux at the moment, I'm
reluctant to buy a better adaptor until I'm sure the scanner will work.
Any advice or assistance will be greatly appreciated. I'm sure that, as
a newbie, I've forgotten to do something or misunderstood somewhere
along the line.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Dave Anderson

Check out http://www.inria.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines
To find a CGI-script that'll calc modelines you can put in XF86Config.

Hi everyone,
eventhough I am a newbie (sorry) I am making rapid progress. However, I am
stuck at the moment because I can't seem to install my Graphics card.
I have an ATI 3D Rage Pro (in the list as ATI Mach64 3D Rage Pro). When I am
in XF86Setup and select this card I get the following message: "Mach64 not
installed as Xserver. Install Mach64 server as /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64".
My next step was to try and install the server package. In console I tried
to install this package by using "rpm -i Mach64" and "rpm -i XF86_Mach64"
but without any joy.
In xf86config I can't seem to get things right to get KDE to work. I have a
Philips 107S monitor, Hsync 30-70, Vsync 50-140. I have tried several
options, but KDE will not work!
Does anyone know how I can install Mach64 as my Xserver?
Thanks in advance!
