The average person getting their first pc is hard pressed to even
understand what is a modem, much less appreciate the special
"features" of the winmodems. When they first gets the pc, they
wouldn't have even heard of Linux or Unix. If you ask them about OSs
and Win95/98, they may have heard of those words but not have any idea
what they mean. Six to twelve months down the line, they've learnt a
bit and want to try stuff...

Subject: Inexpensive Inkjet, etc printers for Linux
Date: 27 Dec 1998 22:14:29 -0500
I recently received a color inkjet printer for Christmas. Although I
had suspected such a gift, I was unaware of the recent trend towards
Windows-only printers. My benefactor is not adverse to my exchanging it
for a comparable device, but would appreciate advice.
My benefactor's original gift was either
1) Epson stylus color 440 (or)
2) Lexmark Color Jetprinter 3200
Not expecting much direct help on the matter from the sales people (I suspect
a what is Linux mentality), I have tried to decipher Linux compatibility
from HW compat list on sunsite and web pages, and have generally come to the
conclusion that neither of the above are usable under Linux (although would
not be adverse to someone correcting me).
Anyhow, now that there are an abundance of nice printers in the $100-$200
price range, are any of these compatible with Linux (color is nice, but
not a necessity). Anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced
printers for Linux? (The thought of booting to Win95 just to print gives
me the willies--- I only keep it on the system because it came with the
machine and the thought of Bill getting a license fee for something that was
just deleted doesn't seem right, and who needs all of a 4G disk unless running
a M$ box). Thanks in advance.

Hello Doug,
I have also a cablemodem and a Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 and it works fine.
Did you connect this networkcard directly to the cablemodem? If you connect
by the hub it won't work because most ISP check for the MAC-address of your
NIC. At least my ISP. Did you configure your NIC to use 10Mb and not 100Mb?

Hi,
we did install redhat 5.something SMP on LH3, seemed to work fine till we
used driver for embedded RAID controller, then simple copy file killed
kernel. If we only used embedded SCSI cards, that would work fine. Had no
problems with choosing proper drivers, just raid so far not reliable.

If your ISP uses X2 or V.90, check out www.egghead.com to see if they
still have Cardinal 3440s for $40. They're internal but they have jumpers
to set the COM port and IRQ, so they should work with Linux.

I'm not so sure about that. For the average newbie who buys a 450mhz
system to do word processing, e-mail, and web surfing (one at a time),
there's not much of a penalty.

Just a notice to everyone with internal winmodem problems out there... I
had to bite the bullet today and get an external so I could try and get
connected with Linux! There is a new external Viking v.90/Kflex modem
on the market that just came out- $99 at your local ClumpUsa. I got it
home and it worked great in both Windoze and Linux without any change in
configuration. (Although I already did a manual config on my setserial
from my previous adventure with my internal modem). I'm just letting
anyone know in case they're in the same boat I was, and didn't know if
there were any still out there that aren't Winmodems! GOOD LUCK!

Cool, I'd say we're more than half way there. From now on when a

Thanks very much. I've been screwing around with this for just a day so
far. BTW, anyone try the RedHat ftp server with a cable modem? Downloaded
a 53MB postscript FAQ in under 90 seconds. Got up to over 950KB a second.
Fastest I've seen that thing move. Kick-ass server with a T3 connection I
gotta assume. Anyway, thanks again.

I have this exact machine, and its definitely not in the same league
as a dual P-II 450 MHz. That's P2B-D.

I'm running RedHad Linux 5.2 on a Compaq Deskpro 6000. The keyboard locks
up (sometimes) when Linux boots up and I am unable to login. It seems to
lockup right away when Linux begins to boot, not after anything specifically
loads in the bootup process.
Anyone else experience this, and if so, how did you fix it?

Actually, xfree 3.3.3 supports quite a lot of AGP cards. Peruse the docsat
www.xfree86.org/3.3.3/index.html to get an idea of what's supported.
The best procedure is to pick out a card model, then go to the relevant link
on the above page to see if it's supported. For example, if you have your eye
on an NVida chipset based AGP card, click on "Information for
NVida users" and see if it mentions your card as supported. If you have your
eye on an S3/Virge card, look at "Information for S3/Virge users" and see
if the card is mentioned. Etc...
The caveat here is that to use the latest and greatest AGP cards, you'll
likely have to update to 3.3.3 (Redhat 5.2 comes with 3.3.2), but this is a
fairly
straightforward exercise.

Dennis,
starting as root user, go into the X server and bring up the print-tool
from the controll-panel buttons that show up on your desktop. Wait for
the system to display the current printer queues. Select the one that is
in there or add one using the buttons at the bottom of the window. Once
the entry window comes up press SELECT on the entry button. Choose
stylus color from the list and select ghostscript printing if you want
ghostscript to print text. Press the OK button and you are all set. Now
restart lpd from the printer queues list and test your setup using the
test button at the top of the window.
Good luck,
Bob

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello,
Recently I installed Redhat 5.2 onto my new machine. When I tried to
get an X server up and running I ran into some problems. My video card
is a Diamond Stealth II G460, which is based on Intel's I740 chipset,
though I eventualy found the correct server for it (XBF_i740) on the
internet. After messing around with the XF86Config file for some time I
got Linux to initiate an X session, which unfortunately was at 320x240.
This resolution was labeled 'builtin mode' in the output of the X server
(attached). When I attempted to change the virtual resolution in the
XF86Config file, the server started up, but nothing but static appeared
on the screen. The output from the X server was labeled SVGA, so I'm
unsure whether I'm even running the correct server now or not. I tried
removing the SVGA screen section from my XF86Config file, and got an
error message saying I must provide a screen section for SVGA. I am
unable to change the resolution, the X server just overrides the
XF86Config file's settings with it's 'builtin mode', leaving me with
very little to work with.
Could somebody please tell me how to disable SVGA's builtin mode, or how
to switch to my accelerated server?
Any help is apperciated,
Ryan Twitchell

I'm not sure if this helps, but I've noticed on my 440CDT running '98, that
the audio device is a serious CPU hog, and that the modem usually doesn't
work well when I'm playing a music CD.
I suspect that the modem and audio devices use the same DSP module (I know
the drivers I got for sound and modem came in the same zip), and are more
than likely 'WinModem" and "WinSound" devices....
I hope you find out otherwise-

I appreciate your help. The memory is on a proprietary daughtercard off the
motherboard.
It's odd that Linux sees only 8M of the memory on the daughtercard. BTW, the rest of
the
machine is EISA.
