Does your card have the rage 128 chip or the rage 64 chip?
I am running RedHat ver 7.0 which has XFree 4.01 and it does not
work with my ATI Rage Fury Pro 128. It will recognize my ATI
card as "ATI Rage 128(generic)"
It gets the refresh rates correct and even sees that it has
32 MB of RAM but when I try to run Xwindow I get a black screen
with a box that states "Out of scan range".
I am running it at 8 bits 800x640.

I upgraded my computer with a new ASUS A7V (no sound) and move my
existing ensoniq es1371, NIC, drives, and kernel over to it. Booted up
fine and everything works except no sound with the new board. The es1371
is recognized on bootup and exists in /proc/es1371. However, when I play
mpg's etc no sound comes out. Sound worked great with the previous
Cyrix motherboard (same perpherials, kernel, everything). I am using the
built in kernel support for the es1371 not a module.
The /var/log/messages indicates : Oct 14 10:58:53 pojoaque kernel:
es1371: sample rate converter timeout r = 0xea810000. The last digit
switches between ea8 and eaa. Suse has some funky setup in /dev so I'm
not sure how to recreate all the proper /audio devices which should be
OK (since they worked in my last board).
Any advice on what might be wrong or how to debug?
Thanks,
Justin

The error code is that returned by the int 0x13 BIOS call.
02 = Address mark not found.
With warm re-boot working, but not cold-boot, it sounds like something in the
disk controller is not being initialized properly. Have you checked for a
BIOS update?

Installing everything in Windows first is probably a good idea. That way,
you can verify that everything is working, and you WILL be able to get some
kind of tech support if you run into problems. I don't know how BellSouth
works, but with Bell Atlantic (Verizon), I had to setup the DSL account in
Windows, using WinPoet and a custom version of Netscape.
After getting the account up and running, the only info you'll need for
Linux is your username and password (assuming you need PPPoE), a PPPoE
client, like Roaring Penguin, and the DNS server IP addresses of Bell South.
If they don't tell you what they are, you can get them by running
winipcfg.exe in Windows (c:\windows\winipcfg.exe in Win95/98).

RedHat 6.2, Dell, P3 600Mhz.
This is a qlogic ISP1040B installed as a second scsi controller.
Disappointed to see the qlogic roach on drives greater than 4 GB.
A 9 GB. drive was not recognized at all, while a 73 GB. drive caused the
driver to send a message to the boot log about (as I recall) a "bad
extended reply" and then it reset the bus.
The jaz drive and 4 GB. drives are recognized on the card just fine.
This is a basic RedHat 6.2 install. Any comments are appreciated.

We had 6 cans of stewed carrots, 14 garden grown carrots, 9 jars of
strained carrots, a whole galaxy of pygmy, oversized, grade A... 3 heads of
lettuce, 5 pounds of raw cabbage... We didn't need all that for the trip,
but when you get locked into a serious vegetable collection there's a

Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 07:25:36 GMT
The merger between AOL & Time Warner will be approved -
BUT - the F.C.C. is going to require some form of open access.
The question is - open access for WHOM? Will the conditions
protect ONLY THE CORPORATIONS or will they also protect YOU
the END USER?
This is what AOL and Time Warner have to say about censorship
and speed capping:
IF TIME WARNER DETERMINES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER HAS FAILED TO
COMPLY WITH THE SERVICE'S STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OR LIMITS ON
BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION, TIME WARNER MAY SUSPEND SUBSCRIBER'S
ACCOUNT. TIME WARNER COMMUNICATIONS SHALL HAVE THE SOLE AND
UNREVIEWABLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES
THESE STANDARDS.
DID YOU KNOW:
AOL cancelled the account of the President of the Chemically
Disabled Americans - they said it was a commercial usage! The
president ran it from his bedroom. As a public service. His
comment expressing his outrage is contained in the F.C.C. file.
DID YOU KNOW:
These are the things that Colette Lantelme, Security Administrator
of Road Runner, claims are against the Road Runner Acceptable Use
Policy.
1. Posting a message on any "For Sale" message board.
2. Listing a product on any Ebay, Ubid, or similar service. (Boy, is
EBAY gonna be PISSED!)
3. Announcing a job availability.
4. Replying to a job availability.
5. Mentioning that the user had tried any product and found
it satisfactory - or unsatisfactory.
6. Posting a message to any "personals" board.
7. Asking a user for a date.
8. Calling attention to any commercial or non-commercial
website, including personal websites provided as part
of the purchase price of the service sold by Time-Warner.
9. Calling attention to any IRC chat channel.
Want to say that Al Gore can't be elected because he is a democrat?
No problem! Want to say that Leiberman can't be elected because he
is Jewish? BANNED FROM AOL!
A very small effort on your part can well induce the F.C.C. to
outlaw this censorship and Speed Capping, and protect YOU as well
as the corporations. You have some powerful allies; Consumer's Union,
Disney, and many commercial software companies. Even the Attorney
General of the State of Connecticut is on YOUR side - you may read
their petitions at the link below.
But YOU MUST HELP!
You can F.I.L.E YOUR C.O.M.M.E.N.T IN THE O.F.F.I.C.I.A.L C.A.S.E FILE!
---> This is NOT merely a EMAIL message which will be ignored <---
Any response which you file will be an OFFICIAL document included in
the F.C.C. FILINGS!
It will appear in the OFFICIAL CASE FILE as a comment
read by ALL THE ATTORNEYS who are participating in the action, as well
as ALL THE F.C.C. C.O.M.M.I.S.S.I.O.N.E.R.S! It will remain there
FOREVER as part of the O.F.F.I.C.I.A.L R.E.C.O.R.D of the AOL - Time
Warner merger! With YOUR name on it!
Since this internet campaign started, approximately 250 comments have
been received by the F.C.C from individuals. (Some are funny as hell!)
We need twice that!
PLEASE - can you HELP PROTECT IRC and USENET? SEND the SAMPLE COMMENT
to the F.C.C!
The F.C.C. is on the verge of requiring the protections this letter asks
for. Your letter might PUSH THEM OVER THE EDGE and make the internet
a BETTER PLACE for EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOU!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO USENET AND IRC! This letter WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
if there are enough of them received by the F.C.C. If at least 500
letters are received, we can probably count on the F.C.C. to take decisive
action to prohibit both censorship and speed capping - and to protect
the users, not merely the corporations.
GET A CHAIN RESPONSE STARTED! I can do only so much. I can only post
to so many newsgroups - I can't do it alone. WE ALL NEED YOUR HELP!
Copy this message and post it to (at least) 3 newsgroups where it does
not appear! Then, Send this message by EMAIL to (at least) 5 friends!
If everyone does that, we can FLOOD THE F.C.C. with comments and THEY
WILL LISTEN!
The major ccorporations and the politicians are coonducting this merger
on their terms, for their benefit, and giving no thought whatsoever to
the users. They are all fighting over our dollars, but do they give any
concern whatsoever to us? Does a fish ride a bicycle?
They believe that the internet, which WE, not them, made great, is now
too valuable to be left the users. Their attitude is, "let them comment,
they don't count, they are not rich corporations, they are merely poor
users. Will YOU let them get away with this?
They can ignore 250 users. They can't ignore thousands of users.
Right now our comments, all 250 of them, are a minor agravation to
the "power structure." They have to wade through them to get to the
important stuff, the corporate, I.E. money, responses.
THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS ARE NOT AN AGRAVATION, THEY ARE A POLITICAL
PHENOMENON! DO YOUR PART!
LET THE F.C.C. know that THE INTERNET DOSEN'T STAND FOR ANY BULL! Tell
the F.C.C. I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!
The future of USENET and IRC depends on the F.C.C. forcing all ISP's
starting with Time Warner and AOL to recognize free speech and fair
marketing practices. PLEASE HELP!
TO FILE YOUR COMMENT WITH THE F.C.C:
1. Copy the letter to a file. You can put it on your letterhead
with MS Word or just use a text file. You can make any change to
the letter you want, or add any comment you have. CHANGES ARE GOOD!
They show you READ THE LETTER and REALLY CARE! If you had a bad
experience with AOL or Time Warner PUT IT IN!
2. go to:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/websql/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.hts
(This is the official F.C.C. page where electronic filing of petitions
is accomplished)
3. Fill out Cover sheet
Put your name, Address, Email address, and all other required

the F.C.C. requires this information. It is not published unless you
put it in the letter as well as the form)

4. Send Cover Sheet.
5. After you send the Cover Sheet, THEN select the filename of the
letter you are sending, and send that.
6. After you send the file, you will receive an official

can do this: Enter your real name and address including country in

SAMPLE MESSAGE
============cut here==============================================
TO THE COMMISSIONERS:
Is it ever in the public interest for a private corporation to control what the
average citizen can say? Is it ever in the public interest foe a private corporation
to determine what speech the private citizen can access?
It is often said that "The freedom of the press is limited to he who owns one." What
we have here is a more diabolical situation. The internet gatekeeper not only owns
the press, he owns the newsstand. While any citizen can concevably purchase a press
and distribute his opinions, no citizen distribute his speech if the gatekeeper simply
refuses to allow it to propagate to the internet at all.
Please understant exactly what we are talking about. AOL institutes a "teen filter."
At this instant, AOL determines that the Republician National Committee is suitable
for teens, but the Democratic National Committee website is not.
Do you REALLY want the President of AOL to have veto power on which Government
information is suitable for their customers? Today it is merely teens - tomorrow, who
knows? There is no doubt that the result will be that the President of AOL, whether
or not he chooses to use it, will have more power in formulating public opinion than
the President of the United States. And as history tells us, if he has the power,
sooner or later he will use it.
Time Warner's current policy is as follows:
IF TIME WARNER DETERMINES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE SERVICE'S
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OR LIMITS ON BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION, TIME WARNER MAY SUSPEND
SUBSCRIBER'S ACCOUNT. TIME WARNER COMMUNICATIONS SHALL HAVE THE SOLE AND UNREVIEWABLE
RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONTENT VIOLATES THESE STANDARDS.
Time Warner, and AOL, which has a similar and even more restrictive policy, claims to
have the right to terminate anyone, at any time, for any reason.
Gentlemen, at this moment you are depending on the "good faith" of AOL and Time Warner
to protect our most valuable heritage, our freedom of speech. Have you asked the City
of Daytona Beach or the Town of Carey what their opinion is of Time Warner's good
faith? Are you really willing to let your heritage depend on this good faith?
Don't try to tell me that AOL and Time Warner close that gate only on "bad" speech,
the pornographers, the hate-mongers, the "spammers," and gives the rest of us "nice"
people free reign to post "acceptable" messages. It is well known what these
companies find unacceptable - anything whatsoever that rubs them, or anyone else, the
wrong way.
Gentlemen, you cannot give a private corporation the power to prohibit only "bad"
speech; you can only give it the power to prohibit ALL speech. And history tells us
most definitely that if they have that power, sooner or later they will certainly use
it.
You cannot be Pilot - you cannot merely wash your hands and leave the problem to
"market forces." You can only, by your action, prohibit this danger, or by your
inaction, insure that, sooner or later, all speech on the internet will be at the
mercy of the President of AOL. Including, of course, yours.
Is this REALLY what you want to do?
Thank You for your attention.

A couple of things to check:
1) Have you got the Linux source code installed in /usr/src/linux (or
whereever SUSE puts it)?
2) If you are using a multi-processor setup, then the NVidia driver is
different to the driver that you use of you are using a single
processor. They're distinguished by the term SMP (symetric
multi-processor, methinks).
Hope that helps.
