Read the documentation, perhaps? You need to enable another couple of
options to get joystick support working. "Input core support" and
"Joystick Support" under that need to be Y or M, then the Character
Devices->ns558 gameports option needs to be selected. Make sure you
also enable support for the specific joystick model you have, and take
note of the name changes/module loading order differences. Funny, when
I ran "make menuconfig", there was a screen somewhere that told me what
I needed to do about that.
Some typos seem to have crept into the documentation as well. Joysticks
have major number 15, not 13 as several places in the docs say! (Info
from /usr/src/linux-2.4.0/include/linux/major.h )

Subject: allocating more RAM to Graphics
From: Jeff Strunk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 14 Jan 2001 23:28:33 -0600
I am pretty sure this is would be a stupid(more like useless) thank to do, but
how would one go about allocating some of the systems memory to the graphics
card or some other peripheral?
What gave me this idea is that some PCs have on board graphics controllers that
use a portion of the main RAM. I was thinking that perhaps i could allocate
more RAM to my graphics card and have better graphics.
Just an idea,

Subject: can't get hard drive to work
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 05:28:55 GMT
I just bought a second hard drive (SEAGATE X15, 18GB). I installed it
into computer, no problem. It is a SCSI drive. The adaptec BIOS sees
drive during boot up. But, when the linux OS is ready to boot, it just
stops after the kernel is loaded. It doesn't even start the boot up
process.
I know that Lilo is working at some level because I can startup windows
which is stored on a 2nd partition on the bootup hard drive. Furthermore
because windows can start and read/examine the drive, I know that the
problem must be on the linux side.
The boot drive is at SCSI 0, and the new 2nd drive is at SCSI 1. there
are not SCSI ID conflicts. I have checked all that.
Can anyone provide any assistance?

Hi All,
I've got an AHA-1522a SCSI card in my RH6.2 box. When the card is in there
by itself,
I can successfully 'modprobe' the aha152x module and it loads okay. But,
when I added a
QIC tape drive (scsi id#1), I get the following.

etc, etc...
I got exactly the same symptoms when I used an old aha-1510a, thats
why I thought I would try the 1522a.
If anyone get point me to where the problem is, that would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

Thanks to your advice, Julie, my problem has finally been solved. I've
learned a lot along the way (e.g., building kernels), but am glad that I
can move on to other things.
What worked for me was to patch 2.2.16 with the HPT366 update (uses
ide.c version 6.30) and serial 5.05. Now I can also boot directly from
my UDMA66 HD!!!

ABIT are a funny lot. I have the BE6II-v1.2 which is not promoted as a
raid board. However the only apparent difference between this board and
the
BE6II-v2 is the bios as people are flashing their v1.2's with the bios
for the v2 and running raid on them. Haven't tried it yet.
Be interested to know how you go with 2.2.18, if you go ahead with it.

Whether or not you can do this depends on the kernel you are using.
I've had one hell of a time doing exactly what you want to do with an HP
CDRW 8210e. It can be done but you will need a 2.4.0 kernel and you'll
have to compile in support to do this and then, install usbmgr.
If you want to do it, drop me an email and I'll post you how I did it.

You have to have IDE SCSI emulation enabled in your kernel.
Don't know the details (have never done it myself), but it
is explained very well in the CD-Writing-HOWTO.

Fu,
I recently fixed a problem I was having with both the sound card and
network card on my new linux box and you may be having the same
trouble. It could be a problem with IRQs not being assigned properly.
Take a peek at the file /proc/pci This tells you the IRQs and I/Os etc
of your pci devices. If this is the case, you are in good shape,
because you can tell whether there is an IRQ conflict or if one is being
assigned at all. If there is not one listed, it is probably not being
assigned. If this is the case, wander into the bios and look for a
setting for PnP OS support. If you have (had) Windows, this is probably
set to Yes, set it to No. Don't worry, if this is a dual boot, it won't
screw up Windows, it should work just fine, and if not, you can always
change it back. Hope this helps. If it is an IRQ conflict, here is the
page that helped me figure out the problem and fix it:

Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 02:28:20 -0800
Hello all,
I'm having problems installing RH6.0 on my Compaq Proliant 4500. The
Compaq is a 4-way Pentium 100 with an embedded SCSI fast/wide controller
that doesn't appear to be recognized by the install. I put in an older
Adaptec 1542 and cabled it to the CDROM but not the SCSI backplane (which
remained cabled to the embedded SCSI controller). Of course, now I can get
to the CDROM, but I can't get to the hard drives because they're still on
the embedded controller.
When I connect the backplane to the Adaptec controller and uncable it
from the Compaq controller, the system display's a cabling error at startup
and won't boot up. If I connect the backplane to BOTH the Adaptec and the
Compaq controller, it boots fine but then locks up when attempting to read
from the CDROM. Any advice? It would be greatly appreciated... I don't
know what I'm doing wrong. It doesn't help that I'm not familiar with
SCSI...
TIA,
Kristofor Jacobson

I don't actually know what type of motherboard I have. I didn't get a
manual about it when I bought the computer. I took a look but couldn't see
any brand logos or anything. I have written an email to hp asking them what
they gave me - who knows when/if they will reply. All I do know is that the
chipset is SiS530 if that is of any use.
As far as the bios goes I took a look (didn't touch anything!) and it
showed the following:
"hope the spacing works ok :)"
