Hello,
I'm trying to setup my Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (2megs) with Xfree86
and I am running into some problems. Here is my configuration and
the problem:
Red Hat 5.2
Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 2meg ( this is not the Multimedia version )
Sony Multiscan 100sf 15" monitor
When I use Xconfigurator to setup my X server, it detects a ViRGE
chipset, and selects the XF86_SVGA server. My monitor is listed too.
Once I get to the default modes menu, if I select the 1024x768 16bit
mode, it starts up with the screen to the right. So I must adjust it
with Vidtune. This is ok, however the screen looks VERY VERY FUZZY
under 1024x768 16bit. If I switch to 800x600 or 640x480 ( both 16bit )
I get a crystal clear display with no fuzzyness.
If I use XF86Setup, I select my card under the card list, and it selects
the XF86_SVGA server too. Once I select my default video modes and
select my monitor settings, XF86Setup runs vidtune, and I must adjust
my display again as with Xconfigurator. However I still get the same
Fuzzyness under 1024x768 16bit mode.
I know this mode works fine, my video card and monitor work just fine
under Windows 95 in any of the standard 16 bit modes. I don't have the
fuzzyness or have to adjust the display at all.
If anyone knows what is wrong or has a proper XF86Config file please
let me know.
Oh yes, I almost forgot. I tried to compensate for the Fuzzyness under
1024x768 16bit mode by using Large fonts, but this doesn't help either,
they are just as fuzzy.
thanks,
Don

Hi Chris.
I'm running a Compaq Preasrio 2200, which uses a Cyrix 180 MGX. With
XFree86, I am able to get 640x480 resolution, but I am still trying to
improve on that(if anyone else has, please let me know). I haven't been
able to get sound working, however, I admittantly haven't put a
wholehearted effort into it. As for the motherboards, I don't know what
others use this chip, but I would advise against this particular one.
It has two SIMM slots, and one 8-bit PCI(on mine, filled witha
winmodem), so if you plan on expanding your system, this is not the
board to use. HTH

========================================================================
I'm not sure what you mean by "setup level", but for reasonably
comfortable use with X11, 16 MB of memory is the most important
thing. And that'll still be doing a lot of paging to disk with large
programs like Netscape. 32 MB is much more comfortable. As for speed, I
found that a 496/66 was quite acceptable, but I really wished it was
faster. Anything faster than a cheapo ~200 MHz Cyrix or AMD is just a
race car on a city street, unless you've got special graphical or
number crunching needs.

Hi.
I have a compaq prosignia with an enbeded SCSI controller NCR53C710.
I can not get this card working. My SCSI CD-ROM does not get detected,
so are my hard disks.
This is a card on EISA bus, however, this card is only supported on PCI
bus. I have tried to compile different kernel to detect the card, but all
of them failed. I tried most of the relavent images on the slackware
bootdisk directory. non of them work. I'm losing my patient on this one.
I have been searching info on this for two weeks now. people are saying
that they have done it, and how easy it is. BUT NO ONE SAID EXACTLY HOW THEY
DID IT. what driver they used for this card on EISA bus. I tried to contact
these people by email, none of them replied. people say kernel-2.2.1 support
this card on EISA bus. so I downloaded kernel-2.2.1 and tried to compile it.
BUT it seems to me the kernel still only support this card on PCI, not EISA.
why do i say this. 'cause if I do not select "support for PCI BUS", then
"support for ncr53c7,8xxx SCSI card" will be greyed out when I run
make xconfig.
Has anyone really done it before ? If there is. please, and please let us
share this precious infomation with you.
Thank you very very much.

www.corpsys.com offers a 53c875-based controller for $139. Works
swimmingly with my Ultra10 and attached tape drive and CD-R. IIRC, the

If you aready have a machine that capable of running WinSlow,
then your CPU and RAM are probably good enough, but if you are
starting from scratch, and expect to get to the high end stuff, like
many games, etc, then you may wish to start with a good basic SlotOne
motherboard, like the Abit BH6, and min 32 Mb PC100 SDRAM ( I prefer
64), and a celeron 300A. As for graphics, I think the Matrox line is
the best supported available, so you can't go wrong by picking either
one of their older PCI cards-if you can get one for a steal, or one of
their newer AGP cards, as they are now supported too.
If this didn't even begin to address your question, please
clarify?

I haven't tried it, but I don't think it will be autodetected. You will
have to enter the information to the kernel manually. From
usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/cdu31a:
-8<---------------------------------------------------------------
You must tell the kernel where the drive is at boot time. This can be
done at the Linux boot prompt, by using LILO, or by using Bootlin.
Note that this is no substitute for HOWTOs and LILO documentation, if
you are confused please read those for info on bootline configuration
and LILO.
At the linux boot prompt, press the ALT key and add the following line
after the boot name (you can let the kernel boot, it will tell you the
default boot name while booting):
cdu31a=<base address>,<interrupt>[,PAS]
The base address needs to have "0x" in front of it, since it is in
hex. For instance, to configure a drive at address 320 on interrupt 5,
use the following:
cdu31a=0x320,5
I use the following boot line:
cdu31a=0x1f88,0,PAS
because I have a PAS-16 which does not support interrupt for the
CDU31A interface.
Adding this as an append line at the beginning of the /etc/lilo.conf
file will set it for lilo configurations. I have the following as the
first line in my lilo.conf file:
append="cdu31a=0x1f88,0"

I beg to correct you Bob.
Working from memory here...
THe Boot sequence for a PC is as follows...
Progam execution begins at the reset vector in the BIOS ROM.
A few things are intilized, then a scan is made for add-in
BIOS extentions. (IE video and SCSI ROMS). THese are
run to allow them to initlize their hardware and modify
any necessary BIOS tables.
BIOS continues it's initlization and then jumps to the
REBOOT OS vector.
Code at the reboot vector loads the DOS (or LINUX) MBR code
off the drive.
Loaded boot code then finds and boots DOS or LINUX kernel.
(OK, it's not called a kernel in DOS, but it acts like one).
DOS kernel then looks at config.sys and configures system.
then loads command.com.
Command.com reads and executes autoexec.bat.
AS you can see, the last two steps are DOS specific.
The LINUX kernel doesn't need config.sys of autoexex.bat
to load or run. Linux has it's own versions of these files.
Well, they are not versions of these files, but they
provide a simular function.

This clearly demonstrates that the ISP is too lazy to want to support

The OS has nothing to do with crashing anything remotely. Network

This is true that external modems can not be winmodems, BUT they
could use RPI (Rockwell Protocol Interface), which is a substitution
to a hardware flow control. Usually (there are a few exclusions)
such modems *do not* have hardware flow control.
Which is certainly no good for Linux.
AFAIK, there were many 14.4 RPI modems and a few 28.8 RPI modems;
no idea whether there are K56 modems with RPI. I guess not.
The FAQ about RPI is maintained by Rockwell:

There's several Epson/Linux resources at

If you don't see that exact model number, one of the resources probably

My experience is similar to yours. Here's my throughput results using
a Promise Ultra 33 instead of the on-board controller on my Tyan Tahoe:
[root@hulk /root]# hdparm -Tt /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 64 MB in 1.68 seconds =38.10 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 32 MB in 5.39 seconds = 5.94 MB/sec

/dev/hdg:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 64 MB in 1.68 seconds =38.10 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 32 MB in 2.31 seconds =13.85 MB/sec
/dev/hde is a Western Digital 1.6 Gig and /dev/hdg is my new Maxtor 10.3
Gig UDMA drive. Before I got the Ultra 33 the speed for the 1.6 Gig was
almost the same, while the 10.2 Gig UDMA drive was only about _HALF_ the
speed of the 1.6 Gig (about 2.5 MB/sec.)
