Does anyone know how to get my *** ZyXEL omni.net lcd ISDN *** modem to
work with SuSE. The problem is that it's NOT an plugin card, but rather
a modem connected to /dev/ttyS0. I can acces it with minicom, and even
dial with it, but i can't set up a ppp connection (i can't enter my
username/password) If anyone has any ideas/experiences, please reply :)

Hi!;
I'm found some information and steps for work
with linux and one scanner. The information is
at:
http://utopia.knoware.nl/~joey/linux/acerscan.htm
In this page the athor explain how to
configurer an AcerScan 640U. But I have an
AcerScan 320U, and I don't know if I follow this
steps, I'm getting work with me scanner.
Because; if someone know how can I configurer

I have the older SB Live value card in one computer, and an SB Live X-gamer
in the other. Neither of these have an *optical* digital output, although
the SB Live X-gamer does have an electrical (?) digital connector. I have
no idea what good this is, since I've only seen optical ditital connectors
on other audio equipment. The down-side to it is that to make room, they
squeezed the other connectors closer together, which forced me to buy a
couple new cables with skinnier plugs.
I believe that the only difference between the SB live X-gamer, MP3+, or
1024 is the software that is included. If you're only using Linux, you
don't need any of their software, and you might be able to get a cheap OEM
version somewhere.
The SB Live Platinum comes with their "Live Drive" that fits into a 5.25"
drive bay, providing various connectors. That's nice, but they have two
versions of this (version I and II), and the *optical* connectors are only
found on the Live Drive II. I don't think this comes with the SB Live
Platinum, so that one's useless. Creative also sells a seperate Optical
I/O card (which used to come with the original SB Live sound card).
So, if you go with an SB Live card, you'll want to get the cheapest one you
can (maybe a Live value card if they are still sold), and either the Live
Drive II, or the optical I/O card. I also think some other company makes
an optical card that works with the SB Live, and is cheaper. I forget who
sold this, but if you do a lot of digging around I'm sure you can find it.
As for it working under Linux, well, it will work, but it's not necessarily
a cake walk. I was able to get the SB Live value working on one computer
without too much suffering (I had to downlaod, compile, and install a
recent driver). But just last night I installed RH Linux 6.2 on my newer
computer and noticed that the SB Live card was detected, but doesn't work
yet for some reason. I haven't even begun to try to get it to work, I'm
just saying that it didn't happen automagically with that Linux
distribution.
I have no idea whether or not these two "accessories" which provide the
optical output will work under Linux or not. They might require special
software, and if so it's a good bet that it won't work under Linux yet.
Creative does have prople working on Linux drivers in general, but they are
years behind the Windows drivers.
Check out the creative.linux newsgroup on news.soundblaster.com if you're
interested. I personally like these sound cards a lot, but I use them
under both Windows and Linux. In Windows I excersize the 3D effects and
MIDI SoundFonts, etc. In Linux I'm just happy to hear sound.
And one last side note about digital audio and optical cables: I'm sure
that the whole digital optical craze is founded on snake oil and nothing
else, as is much in the audio electronics industry. Fiber optic
connections are perfectly justifiable for extremely high-bandwidth
networking, but digital audio is very, very low bandwidth by comparison.
The nice thing about digital is that there is no signal degredation, period
(provided you have some protocol with the usual error correction, of
course). You can run 100 Mbps ethernet on simple twisted pair cables, for
I think about 100 meters. CD quality audio is 687 kbps, which is about
1/1500 the rate of fast ethernet!! DVD quality audio is just over twice
this bandwidth, still miniscule compared to fast (or slow) ethernet. So
why use fiber optics for digital audio?

Hello,
Do not laugh folks but technical people at Dell & HP have suggested that I ask
the readers of this particular news group this information.
I currently own a HP LaserJet 4050 and am in the process of buying Linux based

support it? What new software/hardware will I need to make use of my printer.
Why not ask RedHat directly, might you ask? I have tried for 4 work days and

Hello,
i've a problem to get my sound card running on Red Hat 6.1.
Card is AZT2320 (galaxy). sndconfig does'nt have any problem to
recognise the card, but during configuration it reports a resource conflict.
During reboot i get the fatal error "device busy".
conf.modules looks like:
alias sound galaxy
pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sgalaxy io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=3 sgbase=0x220
This looks reasonable compared to the card rersource description under

Has anyone successfully used this before?

are you mounting read-only or using the (very dangerous) read-write NTFS
linux driver? if it's just read-only, then you can't expect any changes you
make to take effect.
also, unlike FAT, NTFS actually does have permissions. these permissions
are 0700 by default, i believe. if your drive is read-only in Linux, then
you'll have to change the permissions in NT itself (and i don't know how to
change file permissions in NT). also note that permissions in NT and
permissions in Unix are not compatible. permissions in Unix go
user/group/other whereas permissions in NT go local/workgroup/other.
i could be wrong, though.

Subject: sound cards and music CDs
Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2000 00:08:36 +0200
Could someone explain what follows :
Until a week ago, I had no sound card installed on my linux system, my
AZTEC 2320 being only configured under Windows environment. So, no
wonder that I could not launch any sound file on my RedHat 6.0 system.
However, strangely enough, one sound utility did work perfectly : it
was the 'XCDPLAY' program. How could that possibly work ? Are cdrom
players equiped with a sound device of their own ?
Now, I have installed my sound card under Linux, using the ALSA-SOUND
project system. Sound files work fine, but then my XCDPLAY program no
longer works... so, I can no longer listen to music on my computer...
What is the explanation for that ?
How can I get around this, I mean, how can I have my system capable of
playing music from CDs, as well as playing sound files ?
Thanks for any hint

I never found a reply, but I did manage to solve the problem by taking
the CD back to the exact same computer I had burnt it on. It would
appear that the open session depended on the software on that computer.

Yes. Take off the case and look inside, you'll notice that the CD-ROM has
a small 4-pin connecter that plugs into a cable which plugs into the
soundcard. The CD-ROM pulls the PCM data off the audio CD and pipes it
directly to its own onboard DAC. Then the data gets spit out the standard
computer speaker/headphone plug via a 4-pin connector on the soundcard.
This is why you can plug a set of headphones into any CD-ROM drive and
listen to audio CDs that way.

Weird. Check the mixer settings and make sure the CD volume is cranked to
a decent level and not muted. Also, try one of the many other CD players
out there just in case? ... workman, kscd, gscd, workbone,
etcetera. Make sure the player is pointing at the right device (often,
this is /dev/cdrom) and such.

FYI: Redhat 6.1 does not come installed
with sr_mod.o, scsci_mod.o modules. To
work around this, my /etc/conf.modules
looks like this:
# Deal with IDE/ATAPI CD-Recorder.
options ide-cd ignore=hdd
alias char-major-97 pg
alias scd0 sg
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
The `pg' module is mentioned only because
`cdrecord -scanbus' was complaining without it.
In addition, I modified /etc/lilo.conf to
include the `append' line, as per the
CD-Writing HOWTO:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only root=/dev/hda10
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
CD reading/writing works fine, but
CD mounting is sometimes broken. Eg,
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
is broken for the Redhat 6.1 CD. Why?
