My problem continues. It also seems to be getting worse.
All my experiments to create a heathy kernel with 'lp'
support are failing. As you can see by some of my 'dmesg'
output, the 'lp' device is no longer even being detected
during bootup!
Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.
Serial driver version 4.27 with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.9)
(I think it would normally be mentioned around the point
of the serial port detection).
So, I do not think that using a new 'printcap' will help me
at this point.

Hello All,
Just a fast question, if anyone happen to know. How much is the G400
accelererated under X 3.3.4 I have to admit that it feels like the
card is 'much' faster using win98 ??? can that me possible ?
I was expexting extremely snappy X performance...
About 4years ago I used a 486/120mhz with a Tseng ET4000W32 card and
it felt as fast in X at 1152*864 as my new OC'd Celeron 525mhz with
a Matrox G400 32mb card.
Thanks, Markus

Hi!
I'm trying to use my Aladdin tv-tuner from Animax (http://www.animax.no)
with bttv.
This card has a bt878-chipset and a ALPS tv-tuner, but I can't get it
to work with bttv. :(
Has anyone got any experience with this kind of hardware and the bttv-
driver? Any other drivers that might work?
Hoping for any answer...

Subject: Problems with new "Euro" keyboard
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 14:31:45 GMT
My Gateway Solo 5150 laptop recently had its
keyboard replaced. The new keyboard is visually
identical to the old one, except for a "Euro"
symbol on the 4 key.
After updating the flash BIOS as advised by
Gateway, the new keyboard works fine in Windows,
but under Linux there are two problems:
a) the # and return keys are swapped (easily
fixed)
b) the \ key (down next to z) generates no
scancode and so cannot be mapped.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Someone had indicated that the patch set would apply OK except
for, ummm, fs.h I believe. That file already had the correct
changes. But when I tried it, no go. Everything compiled but
something unpleasant happened during boot so I went back to the
2.2.11 kernel with the working patches.
I just saw that the patches have been updated and can be found at this
URL:
http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha

I won't buy one for them, I'll just use a keyboard/monitor from a nearby
system. Mainly they're meant to be stand-alone servers, so I originally
didn't buy them videocards, just inserted a card and installed the OS,
got it on my network, then took the card to the next box, and did
everything via telnet (or an -display). But I've reevaluated the
importance of my data/uptime, I can see a situation where something goes
wrong, it can't respond to the network, but a local console could save
it, let me close anything still active or at least make it easier to
determine what went wrong and fix it.
Are S3 cards made only buy one vendor or multiple ones?

Hi there!
has anyone any experience in installing an AMM 418 (American
Megatrends) SCSI - raid controller (PCI-Bus).
We are workung with SUSE-Linux 6.2.2 (Kernel 2.2).
The controller will be recognized during setup an a driver will
be installed.
When no device is connected, the SCSI bus is scanned correctly
and linux starts ok.
When a device is pluged on to the controller, we are getting a
"page failure"... (Termination, Cable, SCSI-ID is ok - and it
runs on WIN 95 in the same configuration).
Tnx for any information on this topic - juergen

Ahh that would make sense too. The gcc implementation of the
ForTran compiler is pretty green, and Dec has been working
on their for a long time with optimization in mind.

Subject: Linux on Abit BE6 MB
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 09:23:41 -0400
Hi,
I have an Abit BE6 motherboard that has 4 IDE channels: two regular and
two ATA/66 channels that are operated by build-in chipset on the
motherboard. My problem is that I can not get Linux to recognize 3rd and
4th ide controllers (and therefore my hard drives that run off those
controllers).
If you have any idea/solution for my problem please respond,
thanks in advance,
Alex Parfenov

Im curious if others have run into this problem and their solutions. I have
a diamond supraexpress 56i modem (isa model) which has performed
superlatively for about 2 years now. Now if my ISP forces a disconnect, or
dialing somehow hoses itself, gnome-ppp or wvdial do not appear to release
the device correctly. Future attempts usually end with the modem staying
locked up solid. I have tried waiting for the modem to reset itself but this
ends with failure also.
I am using the 2.2.10 kernel, redhat 6.

For the most part, yes. The /tmp directory is used for temporary storage
by a large number of programs. It should get cleaned out periodically by
cron jobs, but sometimes that doesn't work, particularly if you don't
leave your computers on 24/7. I'd refrain from deleting recent files, but
it's unlikely that anything more than a day or two old is in use.
Alternatively, try leaving your computer on overnight, or run the
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch script; that should clean out most of the disused
files from /tmp.
