16 MB Diamond Viper 550 TNT works!
This a follow up to people trying to install X on Linux with a
16 MB Diamond Viper 550 (I have the latest Micron box with a 21"
Hitachi monitor).
You have to update to latest XFree86 (http://www.xfree86.org ;
use one of the mirrors). Download using your browser or ftp
(because X doesn't work yet, you don't have netscape working, so use
command line ftp).
The current release (Jan '99) is XFree86-3.3.3.1
There's probably no need to compile a new version; so you can
skip downloading the source. download either (or both)
XFree86/3.3.3.1/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/* and
XFree86/3.3.3.1/binaries/Linux-ix86-libc5/*
(Remember to download in binary format (not ascii) if you're downloading via
Windows or some other OS that does too many favors for you)
I think the "gnu" version is the preferred version which is
"glibc". Just do what it says in the README files and
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY and BACK UP YOUR PREVIOUS VERSION
in case you mess up so bad that you just want what you had back.
I could never get XF86Setup (something about the "phase1.tcl" file)
to run; so I just hacked the XF86config file. I wound up with
two XF86Config files ... one is /etc/XF86Config and the other is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config . The first one "/etc/XF86Config"
is the one that gets used. I don't know why; probably just
need to set the environmental variable XWINHOME correctly, which
would/should be "export XWINHOME=/usr/X11R6". Screw it though,
that's another problem, I'm using "/etc/XF86Config".
Anyway, it worked. I'll post this file (XF86Config) at the end of
this opus. You may have to play with the "Monitor" settings
in the XF86Config file.
I had two problems. The "Pointer" settings
were wrong. The mouse misbehaved = just jumped from
left of screen to right of screen and back again. I had to change
the mouse settings from "Microsoft" (or something like that
which you might think it should be because the Operating
System, Windows, which I was forced to pay for to get the
machine is made by Microsoft) to "PS/2". I think this "PS/2" is
the standard protocol for PC bus mousies. "Microsoft" is probably
for serial mousei?
The other problem is that I ran "startx" and the screen worked but
the resolution was wrong. I finally figured out that the
keys "Cntrl+Alt+Numericplus" and "Cntrl+Alt+Numericminus" (that's
the plus on the numeric key on your keyboard, NOT THE qwerty
portion) cycles through the available resolutions. Just bang on the
cntrl-alt-plus to get the one you want. Also, I though the screen
was screwed up 'til I realized that's all you get. Raw, unonfigured X is
tricky to manipulate. Raw X is not jazzed up like
Motif or KDE or GNOME or FVM or whatever. Installing
a "Desktop Environment" is a task for another day. All I wanted
was multiple command windows and Netscape anyway so it's fine for me for
today.
I downloaded netscape from "ftp.netscape.com", version 4.51 !!! which
is exactly .01 versions beyond the 4.50 which I run other places.
It's easy to install; just follow the directions carefully and set
your MOZILLA_HOME variable properly !!! Handcranking the browser
is "/usr/local/netscape/netscape &"
My next project is to get "IP Masqurading" going so that I can make
my old windows box into an internet radio receiver for the living
room. No more Local "Classic Rock" for me!!! It's jazz from Brazil,
hardcore from Australia, classical from Germany !!!
Anyway, here's the XF86Config which makes my Diamond 550 work ...

Subject: Full duplex sound card for multitrack recording?
Date: 28 Feb 1999 23:28:18 -0500
Reply-To: David Guertin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi folks,
I'm starting to investigate the wild wild world of multitrack audio
recording under Linux, and because I'm stubborn about these things I'm
willing to put up with a certain amount of inconvenience rather than
doing it the "easy" way under Windows.
That said, I'd still like to minimize the amount of beating my head
into brick walls.
For the long term, I'm saving up for a Turtle Beach Pinnacle, but for
now I'm looking for something cheaper (like < US$100) just to get me
started. It must support full duplex recording under SLab or Multitrack
(or is there another program I should also be looking into?), and it
must have a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio, although I won't be doing
anything really "professional" with this. MIDI support would be a plus.
I had almost settled on a Turtle Beach Malibu when I started reading
of problems with full duplex recording under Multitrack.
Could I in fact expect good luck with the Turtle Beach Malibu, or is
there a roughly equivalent card that might be better suited to the
task?
Regards,

I do believe, the modem is there only to cause a signal on the modem
wake-up line, when the modem powers up. If thats the case, there isn't
any need to even plug a phone line into it, besides, if there is no
getty running on the line, they couldn't do much anyway. Not to mention,
never having the modem answer would keep em out too, even you did plug a
line into it. Just the simple presence of modem, doesn't mean someone
can call that line "magically" make it answer, and then "magically" make
a getty take over the serial line.
Anyway :-) in the way she describes it, whats to worry about?

Subject: Modem Question
Date: 1 Mar 1999 04:52:49 GMT
I had to switch my Compaq box from a 56k External modem (on Com1/cua0)
back to the internal (on the MB Com2/cua1) 14.4 this weekend... I've used
this internal modem without problem before, though not on this
Build/install... I used the X based Modem Config tool to select the
internal and ediited /etc/ppp/options to point to /dev/cua1. My question
is: Why does minicom work fine but ppp halts after the init response is
recieved saying "NO CARRIER"???
any suggestions are appreciated
