I have the same card...I used the 3c5x9cfg.exe program mentioned above to
set my IRQ and Memory range and disabled plug and play. I then went into
the bios and under the "PCI/Plug and Play" section changed the IRQ that I
used for the card from "PCI\PNP" to "Legacy ISA". Since then has worked
like a charm in both linux and Windows 9X

So what's the point? There are plenty of 8 processor SMP PPro designs,
and some that are 32-64 CC-NUMA (like Sequent's big iron servers).
SMP and NUMA designs were around long before the processor bus and
chipsets supported SMP directly. Big server companies just continue
to do the same thing but with dual/quad clusters of processors over
layered L3 caches and interleaved memory.

I think he is referring to 3c5x9cfg.exe that comes with the card.
I had to do that as well as set the IRQ for the card in my Bios from
"PCI\PNP" to "Legacy ISA" has worked great since.

(OT) xcdroast is not a cd writing program on its own. It's just a

Though your isapnp.conf describes something that looks like a sound
card, I'm not really sure whether your sound "card" really is an ISA
device.
Perhaps you've got some more information about what sound chips are
used. But - I'm not very hopeful.

IF, AND ONLY IF, the working set is less than 128K, which could be a
difficult problem if they worked hard tuning the application just
to get it's working set below the 512K point on their PII system.

Subject: How do you Change the video Driver?
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 13:33:28 GMT
As you can tell I am very new to Linux. I originally had a 2MB S3 video
card in my Linux machine. I have up graded it to a 4MB S3 video card.
How do I change the driver? Currently, I am difficulty exiting X
Windows and my boss thought it might be due to the new video card. When
Linux starts up, no problem, all the words seem fine. If I go to X
Windows everything is still fine, even in XTerm. But once I exit from X
Windows, all the words on the screen are "garbled" up. The letters are
out of order but linux is still working fine. If I type telnet or
startx, those respective programs run fine. If I use telnet it will
work however the words are still garbled. If I return to X Windows then
evrything is fine, even in XTerm, until I exit again. So the only way
for me to work in a true linux environment without X Windows, is when I
first start up. I apoligize for the length of this message and will
truely appreciate any advise on my problem, be it a video driver or not.
Thanks,
Mike B.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I had some trouble getting my internal 56K modem working correctly under
Linux, and once I realized that there was an old extra serial card in
the machine and removed it, all seemed to work okay.
HOWEVER, maybe I'm not doing this right, but I have a question as well.
/dev/cua0 is typically IRQ 4 currently attached: mouse
/dev/cua1 irq 3 nothing
/dev/cua2 irq 4 int modem
/dev/cua3 irq 3 non existant
I have the choice of 0, 1 or 2 on the modem, and I have the choices of
IRQ 3, 4, and 5. I have set it to 2 and IRQ of 3, since that (external
motherboard) port is currently unused, which works fine.. Of course if
I leave it at 4, it conflicts with the serial mouse.
I have two sound cards, one jumperless PCI and one jumperless ISA, and
while I currently can't seem to get EITHER working I don't want to set
the modem to IRQ 5 because it will conflict with the soundcard, which I
remember had IRQ's 5, 7, and 9 on Windows.
Is there a perminate way to set the IRQ of a port? Currently I'm having
to manually do su -c 'setserial /dev/cua2 irq 3' before using the
modem. Maybe it's in the bios, don't think I've looked there...
Thanks!

Salut Eric
I had the same problem and I know of no elegant
way of solving it, so let's do it the hard way :
I suppose you already have your XBF server
installed, otherwise you wouldn't even have
reached the X window mgr yet.
edit "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
find the section "Screen" that refers to your
card (towards the end)
remove all line mentionning of "depht 8" and/or
replace them by "depht 16"
If you want, play with your resolution(s) with
the 'Mode "a x b" "c x d"' line, putting your
startup resolution first.
You can also change the virtual screen settings
there by setting a "virtual" bigger than the
actual resolution.
Hope this helps ...
Good luck et bonne chance.
Anybody knows of a more elegant way ?

tried to connect as usual using the script
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup ppp0, but the
connection broke during the ISP identification

I got a "unclean 8bit connection" or " all 7 bits

instead of the usual "local IP:xxx remote IP :
xxx."
I am only quoting by memory since I can't connect
to my ISP anymore from my box for obvious
reasons:(
The modem is now connected to the /dev/ttys1 by
default. It connects well but the communication
with the ISP fails.
Can anyone help ?

Chip makers all publish environmental specs for their chips.
For instance, Intel's datasheet for the PII 350/400/450 processors:
ftp://download.intel.com/design/PentiumII/datashts/24365703.pdf
lists these operational temperatures (all in degrees C) for the
SECC-packaged P-II processors (on page 43 of the PDF file).
350MHz: 5-75 at the thermal plate, 5-75 at the cover
400MHz: 5-75 at the thermal plate, 5-75 at the cover
450MHz: 5-70 at the thermal plate, 5-75 at the cover
Other processor lines and other processor vendors will have other specs.
49 degrees is a pretty good rule of thumb to go by in the absence of
other data. It is highly unlikely that any chips will fail at that
temperature, and it should be achievable in most situations. It also
gives you a nice safety margin, in case your chip can't handle the rated
temperature.

NT Loader { Hey, selected the wrong one for Boot Magic }
Dos7.1 { what you call Win98, as Win98 is a WindowManger

Lilo can do all the above plus Boot OS/2 and/or BootManger.
And even do it while installed in an Extended partition.
RedHat 5.0 once on a new install set the default to my Ms-Dos
partition. So when I told BootManger to boot Lilo, Lilo after 2 seconds
booted Ms-Dos. And yes Lilo was installed in an Extended
Partition at the time.
Had a devil of a time getting Linux started, since that version
doesn't offer to make a bootdisk.

Subject: Modem pb RH5.2 ->6.0 *correct email*

OOOPS wrong email address in previous post sorry
Hi everyone,
my modem configured in RH 5.2 worked very well on
old /dev/cua1, but as I installed (not upgr.)
RH6.0, the connection with my ISP failed with a
"all bits 7 to 0" "connection not clean" in "tail
-f /var/log/messages" (I quote from memory,it my
be approximate but I have to use another box to
connect to my ISP now ;( ) .
The device is now /dev/ttsy1 (or so), as required
by the new kernel 2.2.5.
Any idea what happened ?
NB : pppd starts Ok otherwise.
I am using a PAP account, configured through
linuxconf.
Thanks
TOM
