veeery good question indeed
i have RedHat 6.0 installed on my Compaq Deskpro 4000, and when i try to
setup the X-server it garbles the screen output at at certain point in the

Many thanks for your replies!
Oh well, gave up and bought the drive anyway. Much to my exuberation
it appears to be a mmc-compliant drive or at least is recognized as such.
Docs say RedHat 5.2 or later is compatible out of the box, but using X-CDRoast
0.96e on my old "alternative" libc5 sys. took a Tcl/Tk re-compile and works to date
very successfully.
Here's XCDRoast

Hi All,
Thanks for reading this post, and I hope you can help me...
I have just recieved an old 24 pin printer. It came with an interface
board fitted which appears to give some sort of network capability to
the printer.
At first the printer wouldnt work with the standard centronics port
(apart from the standard self tests from the control-pannel etc.), but
after removing this interface, it has sprung to life.
I would however like to use the 'network' interface that came with the
beast but I seem to be drawing a blank on finding any info.
The interface is produced by Axis Communications, it has a BNC and a 9W
male dtype on the rear of it, as well as a green LED and a push button
operated thumbwheel switch which counts from 0 to 9. The interface fits
inside the printer and pokes out the back just above the centronics
connector.
Do you know what this interface is for... Do you know how I may use it
with my linux sysem ( I have a ethernet card fitted)
Any ideas/information would be most appreciated...
The www seems to have failed my in my quest so far for info ;(
Please reply direct to the address below if possible.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea if the Matrox Millenium G200 video
card (8 MB) works with Linux (X Windows)?
Please email me back if you have any information.
Thank you very much.

Hi:
Linux is much easier and quicker to install and configure
than W95 and much less perilous than W98 (which has recently
wiped the BIOS of an aging P90/Intel MB so the POST will not
complete)!
I get the horrors any time I must install W98 - the
countless reboots, the mind-numbing stupidity of having to
watch the install process so-as to be on hand to hit <OK> or
<Continue> button! The endless number of install dead-ends
(finding a driver only to have to point W98 to it's apparent
location AGAIN when installing)!
I recently decided to re-install W98 because it wouldn't
complete the boot process anymore (it had been upgraded
overtop a W95) - it had fallen and couldn't get up!
I formatted the partition c: and proceeded with the install,
which progressed as it does with endless hand-holding,
button pushing and reboots, only to have it stall on a black
screen with no error messages. Looking over the install log
and boot log provides no clue. Sending the appropriate
sections of these logs and a detailed list of hardware to MS
provides no joy after days of waiting. Telephoning MS is a
waiting game that I soon grew tired of and conceded defeat
after paying LD charges for an hour of MS self promotion but
no live operator!
I attempted to re-install W98 many times over the next
couple days (not full time - I have a life) with identical
results. MS's cryptic file naming schemes prevented a quick
analysis and defeated further troubleshooting. Lastly, MS's
insane habit of making a number of files invisible also
hinders troubleshooting amazingly - WHAT IS THAT ABOUT!!!! I
can't count the horrors of trying to get any work done in
DOS when important files are invisible, no online help (gone
with W95) and no DOSSHELL (also gone with W95). Couldn't
even unzip a copy of zipslack because DOS couldn't swing the
memory requirements - I only have 64 megabytes on that
machine! All my old wonderful DOS utilities no longer work
in the New Windows DOS!
I finally re-installed W95 - an even more mindless
procession of hand-holding and reboots to get the system up
and running - we are talking about HOURS of installing
different drivers, flipping different CDs and floppies into
play, REBOOTING AGAIN AND AGAIN!
Alas, W95 is finally installed and running as well as it
can - needs to be rebooted several times a day but can
finally play games again (all W95/8 is good for is games and
Internet Explorer with Outlook Express). I wouldn't dare
trust Windows with any serious work - it has even
shit-canned ALL my mail and newsgroup files on a number of
occasions for NO APPARENT REASON - I have learned to backup
these files on a daily basis to a different partition since
I lost several weeks of correspondence on one occasion.
Linux, on the other hand, is bliss! I have installed
Slackware on all my machines and it is the only OS on two of
them. It routinely installs in under 20 minutes from CD and
I can have a new custom kernel baked and running in under an
hour. Keep in mind that this does not include the X Windows
system which I rarely install. The only times I have to
reboot are when playing with the kernel or making hardware
changes (which I do often).
Linux like W95/8 has hardware requirements but not to the
degree that W95/8 demands. I love the CLI (command line
interface) and am constantly learning new procedures and
shortcuts in Linux whereas the W95/8 interface is mainly
about appearances. Further, W95/8 has the most annoying set
of glitches that come and ago, apparently at random!
Windows is not easy to install, even when things go
smoothly. The hours of rebooting, driver installation,
moronic standard settings, cryptic registry settings (could
they get any worse?) and the complete loss of all
traditional DOS functionality (remember the DOS online help
system - all gone). I also recall all the times that W95/8
insisted that a piece of installed hardware was operating
correctly only to find conflicts with I/O or IRQs - talk
about obfuscation.
Windows 95/8 has a pretty GUI and an alright game engine but
it's dangerous unreliability and lack of utility prevents it
from being a serious workhorse.
Linux Rules when it comes to installation speed and
accuracy!
Just one guy's opinion.
Best regards,
Brian

You can't mount /dev/sr0 - this is the raw device. Use /dev/scd0 instead.

Confirmed here. I have a Snapscan 600, with a AHA2940, which used to
work like a charm under Windows. But since I don't use this @$#$#$%%
excuse for an OS anymore, I'd like to get it to work under Linux. So far
I've tried 2.2.6 and 2.2.9, on a RedHat 6.0, and don't get it to work.
Output of scanimage -L:
[root@betelgeuse sane-1.0.1]# scanimage -L
device Snapscan:/dev/sgb' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 600 flatbed scanner
So it finds the thing.
[root@betelgeuse sane.d]# scanimage -T

Something's wrong here.
I do see the left LED on my scanner blink, though, during and after this
test. It never stops, until I cycle the power. Then both LED are on, as
normal.
Trying to scan an image gives the following:
[root@betelgeuse sane-1.0.1]# scanimage -d snapscan:/dev/sg1
P6
# SANE data follows
2539 3420
255
Here nothing happens for a long time, except for the blinking of the
left scanner LED. I have no idea what these numbers mean. When I get
impatient, I press Ctrl-C, and get the following:
scanimage: stopping scanner...
scanimage: sane_read: Operation was cancelled
The left LED now works steadily again, so it seems that the scanner has
been reset properly. cat /proc/scsi/scsi gives
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
Vendor: JVC Model: R2626 Rev: 2.05
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
So that seems OK. (I have no problem whatsoever with my other SCSI
devices,
btw)
Just out of curiosity, I compiled a 2.0.36, et voila, the scanner works
?!? Seems like something has been broken in the SCSI code for 2.2.x ...
Although it did get the problem the PROBLEMS file warns for with MUSTEK
scanners: the scan doesn't stop at the end of the page, the scanner
begins making loud noises so I had to switch it off immediately. Anyone
ever experienced this with a Snapscan 600? It could be that I am running
a 2.0.36 kernel on a RedHat 6.0 system - i.e. with all kinds of software
that may not be entirely downwards compatible.
Hope this helps,
Ward.

Hugh,
While I must agree with Phil's comments about using BRU (:-), I'd
caution you against getting the AIWA Bolt for Linux use. The bottom
line is, at the present time, it does NOT work (under Linux).

What should the permissions need to be for these devices?

Can somebody confirm or deny this? Does the kernel really only support
16 SCSI devices? I can see where this could be that somebody didn't
understand, since you can have a MAX of 16 devices per Wide SCSI
channel, but why wouldn't it support more devices if there were multiple
SCSI channels?
