I was excited to find the new TNT drivers released last night, but when
I downloaded the static glibc binary package, the riva_install script
did not work. I get an error at line 159, about an unexpected 'then'
statement. Anyway, I tried running the X server but it didn't work for
modes over 320x300 or whatever the builtin one is. What does the
riva_install script do, and what can I do manually to get my TNT2 card
running? Please send a copy of any replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if possible. Thanks a lot.

This is no joke! I was pennyless in 1990, and then I learned C++ and Java,
and all of a sudden it all came together. All of a sudden, I had respect
for myself, and I was making $50,000 and more. The best part about it, is

During the last few days http://www. l i n u x c a d .com server was experiencing
some downtime, it is up and running now. But in any case of such downtime in
the future you may order LinuxCAD via phone or fax:
tel: 847 891 5971 - 8am - 18pm (����S central)
918 663 0069 - 18pm - 21pm (����S central)
fax: 847 301 0908 - around the clock
(include CC#,exp date,name on CC,linux version,hardware platform)
also you may get your technical questions answered there.
What is L i n u x C A D ?:
Linux CAD worth trying and using , we would not advertise it
if this would not be the case.
Linux CAD is a new professional quality CAD drafting program for Linux and many other
����nix systems. 80% of works you do in AutoCAD you can do in LinuxCAD instead and
save
thousands of dollars in software licenses.
LinuxCAD features:
1. Complete creation of professional 2D drawings.
2. 3D modelling.
3. Printing to HPGL compatible plotters ,
4. Printing to DeskJet and LaserJet ,
5. Printing and export to Postscript
6. Printing to L i n u x C A D MS Windows based Print server.
7. Blocks and Attributes - just like in AutoCAD.
8. Bezier Splines.
9. 3D objects and algorythms.
10. ����ser Coordinate Systems.
11. Hidden lines removal.
12. Dview command.
13. Forming of 3D shapes by extrusion and revolution.
14. Support for SHX fonts in ��unifont format. That means national symbols,
including german accent letters, cyrillic, katakana, kanji.
15. DWG format support !!!
16. New version supports Windows NT along with LIN����X.
Design has never been easier and the best performance to price ratio !!!
Will deliver working copy of L i n u x C A D to your in 24 hours or less.
Linux CAD is fully programmable and smoothly integrated in the Linux environment.
The following works can be done in Linux CAD:
Software Development Flowcharting ,
Entity Relationship Diagramming,
System Administration Diagramming and you actually can start
your sysadmin tasks from inside Linux CAD,
Mechanical Engineering drafting,
PCB and schematic design ( easily integrated with routing programs ),
Geographicsl Information Systems,
Any kind of drafting where integration with database is important,
Floor plans for buildings and facilities,
Architectural Drafting,
Front end for programmable rendering systems like OpenGL,
Can be used to replace ACAD in every application later is used !!!
Linux CAD is an AutoCAD for Linux for all practical purposes it implements
all major features of ACAD in such a way that new users (who had ACAD experience
before)
do not need any additional training to start working with Linux CAD.
For users of previous versions: free upgrade available for download.
For new users: our Intel version as usually only $99
( all features included print plot and 3D are there in standard edition !!! ).
==============================================================================
For Solaris SPARC users, until May 22th , you can get L i n u x C A D for Solaris
SPARC
for the at very special promotional price of only $199.
Linux CAD worth trying and using , we would not advertise it
if this would not be the case.

Nope. Had to do that for NT - load a video driver that was on the install CD,
load a sound driver that I had to get off the net. I never did get my sound
card to work in any attempt at Linux. And don't even get me started on my X
problems.
95? Everything worked right the first time.

So you'd rather redo the kernel to put in a device driver than reboot once to
load a PnP driver?

Hi,
I was having the same frustration and looking all
about for a driver. I have a patch for the IDE
driver which makes this DVD drive work. I am not
an expert on IDE/DVD/CDROM/file systems, so use
this at your own risk.
This was applied to the 2.2.8 kernel. It enables
the kernel to recognize the type 17 (0x11) device
as a CDROM.

I'm not an expert with modems but I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. The
problem was the phone lines. I'm on GTE and the wiring where I live was
noisy and did not support fast connections. When I called the phone company they told
me I needed catagory 5 wiring. (Sounds like 100baseT) Six months later
they made some changes at my home and I have not had any problems since. I normally
connect at 45300. I don't know about catagory 5, but whatever they
changed solved the problem.
Hope this helps!

Quite. There are in fact two free software 5700 drivers - one by
Henryk, which does 600dpi color, and one by Michael Taylor, which does
1200dpi black-only. Henryk's web page above now has a link to
Michael's driver.

Actually, Lexmark has provided a C program which does this from any

I have a similar problem with the ALI chipset. UDMA read operations
work perfectly, but write operations result in kernel error messages
and the driver gets kicked into PIO mode. I've emailed the authors,
but they're silent. I think the non-Intel UDMA drivers may not be
ready for prime time.

Actually, no. Henryk's web page says that he will eventually work on
the 3200, but in the mantime it just doesn't work; the protocol is
quite different from the one he figured out for the 7000 and 5700.

I've corrected the entry in the database to have this information;
if a 900 file ever gets written, someone please let me know!
Does this printer respond to ieee parport probes? If so, could a
Linux 2.2 user tell me the contents of /proc/parport/0/autoprobe?
Adding this information to the database will help automate future
printer configuration programs.

you should end up with three partitions (at least):

/dev/hdb2 - / root partion i.e. everything else.
/dev/hdb3 - swap

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI but I just can't get the system to recognize my
ZIP drive as a scsi device as instructed in this how-to page:
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue28/lg_tips28.html#atapi
Please help. I remember being able to do it when I had kernel 2.0.34.
Did something change in 2.0.36 to disallow SCSI handling if ZIP drives?
What am I doing wrong?

Hi - I am a new to Linux and looking a practical way to partition my hard
disk. MY system is a s follows:
1.6 gig Win98 used for network game server
2.1 gig Linux disk.
Should I partition the Linux disk into several smaller ones for user etc...
or just a swap disk and one large partition.
Also Suse 6.1 gave me a warning about LILO having problems with partitions
with more than 1024 sectors.
Thanks!!
