Looks like the sound driver thinks the sound card is configured to use
an IRQ which is already in use by something else.

Hmmn.  Is the UDMA drive used supported as such on your hardware?  Or is
it running in EIDE mode?  And could you be more precise about the "under 3"
and "well over 3" minutes, please?

Hey, what video card are you using to drive that big monitor? Does it
flicker at all?

I'm considering either of the 21" IIyamas or the Viewsonic G810 and
don't know what video card is required for flicker-free operation.

Will a Matrox G200 (250 MHz RAMDAC) do well here?

Have a look at www.moxa.com. They sell lots of different cards. Some
don't need a special driver (available in the kernel already) and for
others they have drivers available.

I'm gearing up to purchase a new laptop, and have gotten interested in
the winbook xlii.  I'm wondering if anyone has gotten linux to run on
it.  I've checked the linux-on-laptop page and it doesn't seem to be
mentioned.  I'm worried about the dual tracking devices and the video
chipset (the ATI Rage Pro LT).  This device is listed as unsupported,
but it seems to be the same one as in the Dell inspirion 7000, on
which folks seem to have had a lot of success running linux.

In general though, any experiences anyone wants to share about
this laptop?  Comparisons with the XLi?  Any other comparable
laptops I should be looking seriously at?

Thanks in advance,

Michael Hopkins

    Hi,  I have just a few questions.  First of all, I need to find out
if there is any way to get my SCSI card working.  The card is an Adaptec
AVA 1505a  and I am running Red Hat 5.1 straight out of the box.  I have
not customized the kernal in any way.

Second, if I get my SCSI card running, I need to know if my SCSI tape
drive and CD-R will work.  My tape drive is a Tandberg TDC 3600 and the
CD-R is a Panasonic 7502b.

Finally, I need to know some software to use to perform backups using
the tape drive.  I have never used a tape device in linux before, so any
help on the subject would be appreciated.

Thank you,

hi.

although i've read all HOWTO's i could find i don't get it to include the
sound card driver into the kernel.
i have a debian linux (kernel 2.0.30) and a logitech soundman wave. when i
use 'make menuconfig' to configure the kernel everything works fine, but
during compilation of the kernel 'make zImage' stops with the following
error:

[ ... ] unresolved symbol DMAbuf_init
[ ... ] unresolved symbol audio_init
[ ... ] error 1

why that? also when try to include the sound card driver as a module it
doesn't work. in this case the compilation of the kernel works fine, but
when i try to load the module with 'insmod sound' the same error is
provided.

can you help me please?
