I like the Hauppauge card. It runs fine in Windows 2000.

Not many bells and whistles in the software as in no scheduled digital
recordings, though. And you have to bring your own codec (I like PicVideo's
MJPEG free for registering one).

640x480 is the maximum I can get out of it, but the drivers are rock solid on
either an Intel chipset MB or a VIA based one.

I use the Canon BJC 600 filter to print in color on a BJC-250
with RedHat Linux.

With a B&W cartridge and "Fast text printing" turned on, it prints
ascii text pretty fast, too.

It's a pretty good printer for occasional use, and if you don't need
high photo quality.  I've found it fine for my needs.

Has anyone got a Canon BJ-30 printer to run with ghostscript? If so, how?
In case the answer is no, does anyone know where I could lay hands on

I have that processor running 24/7 for over two months in one of my

We sell Linux boxes with ATI Rage Fury Pro 128 chipset video cards
(ATI Xpert2000 Pro) - X works fine with Red Hat 7.0 using the
SVGA server.  I recommend trying to use XF86Setup (you will need
to have VGA16 X server installed).  Be careful with your video timings!

We sell Linux boxes with nVidia RIVA TNT2 M64 chipset video cards
(PowerColor Sniper2), and they work "out of the box" using "XFree86"
X server.  I recommend using XF86Setup to get things going (you need
to have the VGA16 server installed to use this program).

I bought an ATI Wonder VE and it has a bt848 chip which bttv knows.
The tuner works and the video input works after I fiddled with the module.conf
file.  But no sound yet.  Search www.freshmeat.net for bttv and xawtv and then
find their supported card lists.

The 128 Pro and the 128 are not the same chipset.  To make the
128 Pro work with XFree86 < 4.0, you must insert the line

        ChipID  0x5246

in the "Device" section pertaining to your 128 Pro card - believe
it or not.  I think we were running the 128 Pro with the SVGA server
(or vice versa...).  Upgrading to XF86 4.0 made everything work
"out of the box".  The nicest tool for exploring X configuration,
in my opinion, is XF86Setup (you need to have the VGA16 server
installed to use this program).

Speaking from my experience of dragging Cat5 through buildings and Coax. I

While you're waiting, you can play with
1)      SCSI networking - someone was asking about that on linux-scsi the other day
2) Put two Gb NICs in both boxes, configure Linux to hande them as one.

You asked for it. <g>

I downloaded the ALSA drivers and compiled them as per the instructions on
the web site.  However, when I try to load the modules, I get this:

[root@holly /sbin]# ./modprobe snd-card-sb16
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/misc/snd-card-sb16.o: init_module: Device or
resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

usbcore                42088   1  [usb-uhci]

It complains that init_module is busy, but I don't see what would be using
it.  Is there a different (better or correct) way to load the ALSA driver
module?

(In case it matters, when make-ing the ALSA drivers, the makefile spit out a
*lot* of warnings, although it finished with a success message.  Neither the
lib nor utils makefiles did this.  Could this be a part of the problem?
I've got Red Hat 7.0 and whatever version of gcc comes with it.)

First, try whatever you have already. Doa custom install, install as little as
it will let you.

I think you should go for a recent distro so you pickup the numerous bugfixes
incorporated in the latest releases.

I presume you have another system where you can compile kernels?

You should use 2.2.17; configure the firewall with ipchains.

Of course, you do not HAVE to use any distro; I recently makde a recovery
system on a MO disk by copying files onto it from a running RHL 6.2 system.

Once I had it bootable, I booted and then ran various programs to ensure the
worked and could read tapes. The whole system occupies 29 Mbytes.

You will want to add logging and maybe nfs client (so you can get files from
the network). I suggest installing the drive in another machine until it works;
you will need to adjust its fstab (unless you use labelled partitions) when you
put it in its final place.

Subject: Help setting up printer.
Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 22:41:21 -0400

Hello all,

  I'm a new Debian user.  I switched to Debian after having used Redhat
for a long time.  I love Debian so far,
but I am having a lot of trouble setting up my printer.  I have an HP
Deskjet 710C.  In Redhat, I was able to use the printtool
and the rhs-filters to set up the printer. I just used printtool to add
the printer, selected the Deskjet 710 filter, and everything worked
great. But I'm having trouble doing this in Debian.  I downloaded and
installed the printtool (did an apt-get install printtool), and it said
that
/dev/lp0 was detected.  I chose the filter for HP Deskjet 710 (same as
I did in) RedHat. But when I tried to print a test page, nothing
happened.  I checked the bootup messages using dmesg, and it containted
the following lines

parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2]
parport_probe: succeeded
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 710C

lp0: using parport0 (polling).ppa: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x)

ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use PS/2
ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using PS/2

This would seem to indicate that the parallel port modules is being
loaded. I also did a

modprobe -la | more

and found the lp.0 module listed.  Also, my printer is connected to a
zip drive which is connected to the parallel port
and the zip drive works fine.  Has anybody gotten this printer to work
under Debian, and if so, could you help me out? Thanks.

Casey

Thanks. Sounds like the Happauge WinTV card is the winner.
