Do you know what is accessing the hard drive?
Check your dmesg log (type "dmesg") and see if it contains a bunch of errors
or diagnostic messages about the controller itself.

Tekram didn't claim to support Linux when I got mine, and probably still
doesn't officially, but they did have Linux drivers for their products on their
ftp/web server. I think that they don't want you to bother their tech support
with Linux questions, because they don't know anymore than you do/will on the
other OS's. I even had a rough time getting help from their tech sup. when I
was trying to run OS/2, and they claimed to support it, but nobody in their tech
support dept had much of any real OS/2 experience, and they were just reading
the same docs that I already had access to (and had read)

Hi there. I am fairly new to Linux and I have now two servers running on
two intel PII's. As we have two RS/6000 machines and we do not really
know what to do with it, I was wondering if Linux will run on these
machines. I know, they come with AIX and that will be about the same as
Linux, but why make things complex by running Linux and AIX?

Since there are two kinds of Model 2949s, one with Rockwell, the other
with Lucent chip set, you may need different modem commands for each.
The worst part is that these modems don't come with a very detailed
documentation, especially as to the AT commands set they use.
Fortunately though, you may get it for the Rockwell chipset model from
the Rockwell WEB site as a PDF document. Unfortunately, most 2949s I've
seen are made with Lucent chip set.

Hello. Please do all of us (and you) a favor and disable the "Rich Text
Format" aka HTML for purposes of posting to the newsgroups, you will have many
folks ignoring your posts if you don't.
On the subject of Acer products, It is very (read: VERY) important
that you find out EXACTLY what hardware is in that box, as Acer is the same
company as Aopen, and while they can have some good hardware, they also have a
great deal of proprietary hardware, and windows-only peripherals, like software
controlled modems, sound cards, network cards, and the like.
If the price seems too good to be true, then either get a guarantee from
your vendor that the hardware is Linux compatible or returnable (A good idea
anyway), or have them pre-install it. It is possible to get a low-cost system
to run Linux, and low cost doesn't neccesarily mean low tech, but most pre-built
systems on the shelf are going to be using the popular equipment packaged
hardware/software, and any cost-cutting in the hardware that the general Windoze
crowd won't notice is fair game to raise the profit margin. (That's where
winmodems and Unified Memory architecture/AGP came), and some of those concepts
just won't translate to some other platforms other than windows9x+, because the
vendors know they can make many $$s by targeting that market segment, and anyone
outside of that for most large-scale vendors just doesn't represent a large
enough potential market for them to consider it worth their development costs.
You don't supply enough info on this machine to say yet. Acer is not
necessarily bad, (though I've returned more Acer products for Linux
incompatibility) and AMD K6-II 350 is an excellent choice for a Linux or win
box.

You don't give much other info... Please clarify with a complete list
of your hardware setup. If as you say, you are already using your other serial
ports, then you can't disable the onboard ports without disabling whatever
you're using them for. If one of them is a serial mouse, then I'd suggest
getting a PS/2 mouse if your hardware will support it. This will move the mouse
to IRQ 12, and free up the need to use one of your onboard ports, and
alternatively, if you have a PS/2 port enabled in bios, and are not using it,
then disable it to free up an interupt.
Next question. Do you have and are you using a Soundblaster compatible
sound card? They default to IRQ 5, though the PnP ones may be able to be
reconfigured to some other one, and last but not least... Do you have a printer
(or 2) plugged in to the machine? LPT 1 defaults to IRQ 7, and LPT 2 defaults
to IRQ 5, which is why Creative Labs could get away with using that for sound
cards, since most people don't have more than 1 printer...
These questions that most ask could all be answered much better and with
much less bother on the part of the people answering or trying to, if they would
only include a complete hardware list of what is installed/connected with their
questions.

Not sure why you would need/want to have the speed varied, but if this
is for a CPU watercooling project, then an aquarium pump would seem ideal? They
are designed for continuous use, and can be remotely mounted--assuming that
you'e not trying to do this on a portable machine???, and they are cheap. The
water inlet and outlet tubes can't much more bother than all of the other
necessary cable connections already present?
I tend toward air cooling, myself, and have installed AC auxilliary fans
in most of my machines, and just sitting here and listening to the background
noise level, which isn't too bad, It seems to be about the same noise level as
most of the aquarium pumps I've heard.

Hi Jatin,
Not sure if this is your problem, but you say you have selected to
"emulate 3 buttons" with a 3 button mouse, try disabling this option.
"emulate 3 buttons" is meant to be used with a 2 button mouse, you emulate
the third button by pressing both buttons together. This emulation could be
interfering with the working of the driver.
Hope this helps,

Sorry, don't know anything about this monitor. Usually, I have found the
settings in the XF86config file to work fiarly well. Look in
/etc/X11/XF86config, as you got through the file, you will find some lines
with comments before them describing the modes which are being configured.
Try uncommenting just the lines for the resolutions your monitor supports.
>

Assuming your file is setup as normal, the settings you have sound like the
effect of the virtual desktop which allows you to have a desktop of an
higher resolution than the screen resolution. If this is the case, also in
the XF86config file, you will find a line near the end which describes the
modes available something like this :-
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
This line describea the modes to be used by the server. The mode to the
left is the mode which will be used when the server first starts up, so I
suggest you make that the resolution you use the most. The other modes can
be accessed by pressing the CTRL ALT and + keys at the same time. Below
this will be a line which says something like :-
Virtual 1600 1200
The numbers may vary, but they represent the size of the virtual screen.
Make these the same as the highest resolution you use.
NB. if the virtual settings are lower than the screen resolution, that
resolution will be disabled. eg. if you used the line :-
Virtual 800x600
and had the settings configured as in the example above, the 1024x768 mode
would be disabled.
A man page is available which gives further information on the settings used
by the X server, at the command prompt, type :-
man XF86config
Hope this helps

you need to visit this site download the XFree86 version 3.3.3.1 with server
for matrox G200 card, the server you need is "SVGA", download the rpm`s and
install them that way.
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/rh52-errata-general.html#XFree86
with the the version of XFree86 you have, you will be

if you get this server running you could use "glint" to install the

I am looking for a lan pc-card for my laptop. I've got a linux network with
coax.
3com has got cards with this XJack, but I'm a little bit confused:
This XJack - can I use both coax and TP on it, or do I have to buy a
ordinary "combo" pc-card?
