Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 22:29:47 GMT
Hi,
When I want to print a text with EMACS for example, I have no problem
with my Canon BJ-230 printer.
Lately, I downloaded WordPerfect 8 for Linux and installed the driver
for the BJ-300 (BJ-230 is *not* on the list; so I presumed it shoud
work), but it doesn't work, no garbage, nothing. Except a blank sheet.
Someone can help me?
Thanks.
Eric.
P.S.:I use Redhat 5.2 and KDE1.1.1

Man, would you please share your config with us? :)
Thatt would be great. What did you do? Forced the VESA driver or what?
Btw, OpenGL driver is coming for TNT2 cards but I don't have recen info on
supporting the plain TNT. Hope NVidia will do it.. Since they don't want
to release the specs, at least a binary driver would be nice.

Or if you want to move the computer even further away, there are products like
the Cybex LongView that can put monitor, mouse, keyboard, microphone, and audio
output all connected via a single 10baseT cable that is up to 500' in length.
Alternatively, get one quiet small computer with minimal disks (maybe a
laptop), and use networking to connect to the big computer in the basement.
You could even remove the disks altogether and do a floppy/netboot.

Greetings,
Does anyone have experiences concerning (long-term ... I know
a rather silly trait for such a new board :P) stability, quality,
and performance of the Tyan Thunderbolt 1837? Being some sort of
power-user who likes to do experiments, I want to replace my
Tomcat IVD board with a PII SMP system, for a multiboot Win/Linux
PC. Now, I read the review at Anand's site, and it made me sort of
euphoric about this board. However, my employer, who is the owner
of a computer store, claimed, that his experiences with Tyan
Boards are rather negative, and that most of them wouldn't work right,
and that they are not long-term stable, but might have suprising
'dropouts' after several months, which, he claims, is not acceptable
for servers.
This is however contrary to my own experiences with the Tomcat, which
was a nice and stable and performant board for me (in times of the
PII 266, I got similar performance to a PII 350 these days, under
Linux for quite some cheap price).
All this left me in doubts, and I can't decide whether to buy the
new Tyan board or not. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I also was in a similar situation, I had Turtle Beach Montego II (Vortex 2 chip).
The manual says it is SoundBlaster Pro compantable, but Its a sound blaster
emulation done by a software under windows. So there is no use trying to configure
it as Sound Blaster. But recently www.opensound.com has released the alpha version
of the sound driver. you can download it there. The version is only for vortex chip
( 8320), I have vortex 2, for which they are expecting to release by June.

I was finally able to get the ALSA drivers working, they were the 3.sth.pre3.
However, before trying the ALSA drivers, I couldn't get the card configured
using sndconfig.
Anyways, the card is finally working.

If it works in OS/2 I would guess that it is a mixer setting which stops
the sound from the CD. Did you try to run any mixer program?

With the stock redhat 5.2 system you cannot mount nfts partitions...
However.. you can recompile your kernel and include support for the ntfs
file system. For right now it only does read only (unless your brave
enough to try write access) and i could only get it to let me read from
the system as root.

Ok, this should be easy, I can do it on Solaris. But on Mklinux I can't!
I've got a Mklinux server (2.0.33-osfmach3 #1) and all I want to do is
change the host name! So I've edited /etc/hosts, used the hostname
command to change the hostname, and rebooted with shutdown -r now. And..
the hostname is reset back to the old name. The only thing missing is
perhaps how I rename the interface to be the new name. Except I don't

I dont believe redhat 5.1's sndconfig has support for this chipset (or
at least i dont remember it having it when i ran it). What you need to
do is recompile your kernel with support for this card then add this

Most probably you've misconfigured setup. I've been using Xircom CE3 since I had

Andrew,
Download the program sndconfig. You can get it from any site in the rpm
format. Run sndconfig from the prompt and it will walk you through the
configurationn wizard. It's a pretty cool utility. Hope I was help.

Subject: RedHat 5.2 3C509 io conflict with SoundBlaster
Date: Thu, 06 May 1999 21:52:01 -0700
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello Linux Folks,
I just added a SoundBlaster 16 to my Linux system.
"eth0" interface no longer works due to an io base address conflict
between the 3Com Ehterlink III 3C509 ISA PNP ethernet card and the ISA
PNP sound blaster.
The SoundBlaster requires in "/etc/isapnp.conf" the base address to be
0x220 so I've tried changing the 3C509 to 0x210 and 0x230 with the
RedHat "kernelconf" control panel. This has not worked.
Any suggestions?
Please feel free to reply via e-mail.
Thanks,
Curt
