Being a resident of the United States, I don't know where you can get these in
Europe. You might want to try eBay ( http://pages.ebay.de ), these are sold
there often. I know of some US companies that carry them; I don't know if they
do international shipping so I don't know if they would be any help:

This can be done only if the hardware supports it. This would be set up in the
BIOS of the system. If the BIOS has no options for setting aside memory for the
video, it cannot be done. However, some software, notably Windows device drivers
for Win printers, Win modems, and the like, use system memory as buffers for
these
devices. But what you are proposing can only be done at the hardware level.

As if it wasn't difficult enough already with the 16MB and 32MB versions
being two completely different cards... now 16MB and 16MB are also two
completely different cards?

Subject: Ethernet card from Hell (H-P Pavilion 8665C, MPX en5038 card)
Date: 16 Jan 2001 09:17:59 GMT
I am trying to set up a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion 8665C for
dual-boot with Red Hat Linux 6.2. This turns out to be much more
of a chore than I would like. Solved one problem with the wacko
video card. Then hit the wall on activating the Pavilion's
ethernet adapter card.
It's allegedly a RealTek 8139, but I have found that the rtl8139.o
driver doesn't work.
So I opened the box. Turns out that the ethernet card's chip
is prominently labelled "MPX EN5038A1". Thanks, Hewlett-Packard.
I then tried ne.o and ne2k-pci.o. Both fail to be loaded with
insmod due to a bunch of whiny "undefined values" that they seem to
have. Setting up ne.o or ne2k-pci.o as eth0 modules loaded into
the kernel doesn't help either.
Before I tear this bloody card out and replace it with something
adult, is there somebody out there who knows a silver bullet for this?
Thanks.

Ntpdate "seems" to set the clock whatever the local time, then ntpd
keeps it in sync (or run ntpdate in ppp-up for dial-ups, or cron.)

The Tyan 1590s is also still available and is a solid board - I've been

etc. I've only recently installed Linux on it so I can't give any long term

They work fine with the soundcard if I can be bothered to put it in -
but they should be able to work *without* a soundcard (as they do

Subject: MVP3 IRQ hell
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 11:34:19 GMT
Hi all,
I have a VIA MVP3 based motherboard, which is having a problem with IRQ
routing it seems.
In my kernel messages I get...
Jan 15 00:36:20 localhost kernel: IRQ routing conflict in pirq table!
Try 'pci=autoirq'
The problem seems to be exibiting itself in that I can't record from my
sound card (a Fortemedia FM801, using alsa-driver), what I get when
trying too sounds like an IRQ problem to me also (tiny bursts of sound).
And when I manually modprobe the alsa driver I get the above messahe on
the console.
I hate to say it...but...under Win98 it (sound recording) works fine - I
have the VIA IRQ routing driver installed there - so I guess that's
why. Can anybody help ?

Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 12:53:18 -0000
The card is the Aureal Vortex 2, the chipset is the VIA KT133. I am using
(or attempting to use) the sourceforge drivers for the Aureal card
(aureal.sourceforge.com I think) version 1.1.1. The system is Mandrake 7.2,
exactly as it was out of the box. I haven't made any changes with the
exception (irrelevant as it is) of installing my PnP modem.
I have got the drivers working and producing sound, but they crash the
machine when they are under fairly heavy load (ie when I am playing mp3s and
the like), playing normal wav or au files seems to be ok.
I forget what the kernel is, although I suspect it is 2.2.17 or 2.2.18.
I know this is not much help but I'm at work at the moment, and not by the
side of my poorly Linux box. I think I've given you most of the salient
details. If there's anything there that rings any bells, or doesn't for that
matter, I'd love to hear about it. I hate the fact that I can't get the damn
thing going properly.
Sorry to pester, feel free to contact me by email, if you think that would

I have been looking for a complete walkthrough of setting this up all over
the place. I've found the DRI website and it is quite informative, but I run
into problems almost straight away because the upgrade involves upgrading
the kernel to 2.3 or 2.4, this is causing me no end of hassle because the
kernels just don't seem to want to compile. I'm going to try a solution
someone helpfully pointed out to me but I have to admit I don't hold out
much hope. I've compiled loads of kernels before (2.0 and 2.2) and they've
all been fine, it seems the 2.3 upwards ones don't like me very much.
Does anyone know of a site offering a walkthrough of DRI upgrades, starting
with a 2.2 kernel and going from there? Or has anyone done this and can walk
me through it? I've been using Linux for years but this is making me feel
like a newbie again!

The HP 8210i is IDE, so he only needs to set up SCSI emulation so that cdrecord
can see it. This works under kernel 2.2.x.

What kind of printer (make/model)?
What port are you connected to?
Does the /var/log/messages file indicate that the connected port is initialized
on the last boot?

I would check the following:
- In /var/log/messages, does the parallel device (eg, /dev/lp0) show up as being
recognized?
Yes: go to next step; No: make sure kernel supports parallel port
You can also check some files under /proc for the port (I forget which files
off-hand, something
like /proc/ioports would show what I/O port is assigned to /dev/lp0, for
example).
- Can you copy a text file to the port? Since it's an HP 4L, it should print.
Don't forget the form feed. For example:
cp foo.txt /dev/lp0
echo -e "\f" > /dev/lp0
