I have installed Suse 6.1 with the hopes that I could get quake to work
since I had no luck with Slackware 4.0. I have been able to get the
Mesa demos to function using the card but quake refuses to run. I end
with the following error message:
======= Loading ref_glx.so =======
ref_gl version: GL 0.01
R_SetMode() - CDS not allowed with this driver

...setting mode 3: 640 480

I have the Xserver running bpp 16 and the glx.so is installed in
/usr/X11/lib/modules. The Mesa libraries are linked to libGL.so.1.0 in
the /usr/X11/lib. Any ideas? JJB

Greetings, all.
I've been looking for a good fax+voice modem for use with vgetty and such
(I'm trying to turn one of my 'puters into an answering machine.) Because I
have a cable modem, data connection speed is unimportant. So, I figured I
could do a little looking around and find myself a cheap old ISA 14.4
Voice+Fax modem that would work with vgetty.
Hah! :(
The only non-winmodem voice modems I can find are US Robotics 56k externals
that run about $200. I've spent hours looking for Zyxel modems (the brand
that vgetty was supposedly written for) and I couldn't find ANYTHING for
sale. Does anybody have any old voice modems that would work with vgetty
that they wouldn't mind parting with? Or if not, does anybody know if
there's any compatible modems (that aren't $200!) for sale online someplace?
Thanks ahead of time!

Nevermind that some would rather just have their RAID
subsystems such that one only needs a SCSI3 channel.
It's certainly not difficult getting a RAID subsystem
for a Sun. Sun sells/makes such subsystems themselves.
Also, various Sun servers also support internal RAID
configurations.
Any Macintosh catalog should also have external RAID
subsystems that could easily be attached to any
suitable SCSI channel.

Fine, so hfsutils can figure out the partition itself? What device do you
specify to mount? (Something like /dev/sdb4 would already require the
kernel to parse the partitions, or hfsutils to parse the device name and
the partition table ...)

There's nothing to setup. You should see it detected at boot-time (try
'dmesg') and just mount it as you would any other drive. Here's what my
system looks like:
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio

hda: Maxtor 91000D8, ATA DISK drive
hdc: FX810S, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: Maxtor 91000D8, 9543MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=1216/255/63
hdc: ATAPI 8X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache
It mounts as "/dev/hdd4" (which I believe may be hardcoded in the kernel,
so it should be the same as yours).

Humm, and I just compiled 2.2.10 for my machine. I've also been through
the .config file several times looking for options that would cause the
USB stuffs to be at least modularized.
Unforch, while there are things about it in the makefile, there is not
(apparently) any way for them to be made automaticly. The drivers it
appears are there, having been recovered from the tarball, but thats as
far as it goes. I have a TYAN S1590S, bios 1.16b, and running RH5.2,
somewhat patched up, with the new kernel.
Is there a switch we have to manually edit in the makefile or something?
Cheers, Gene

Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 02:24:13 GMT
Hi,
I have a Pentium 2 400 with 128 MB PC-100 SDRAM. I have RedHat Linux
5.2, upgraded to the 2.2.0 kernel. I also have a Yamaha CRW4416S 4x4x16
CD-RW drive that is running off a Siig Fast Scsi 2 controller. I am
trying to setup the drive under Linux, but am having problems. The drive
works under both NT and 98 on the same system. If the drive is not
connected, and I type in "insmod initio", the scsi controller starts,
displays a list of the other devices I have (a Umax Astra 600S scanner
and a Minolta CD-10 PC card reader). I can definitely access the PC card
reader, I haven't tried the scanner. However, when the CD-RW drive is
connected (ID 3, while the reader and scanner are 4 and 5, respectively)
the driver starts, displays information about the CD drive and then
hangs until I reboot the system. Why is this happening? I tried to set
the block size jumper on the drive, but that doesn't help. How can I fix
this?
Note: the initio dirver does not start at boot, it isn't configured to

I figure out how to force the IRQ: through BIOS settings, but the main
problem still remains:
If I'm trying to access that computer from the network the connectivity is
gone after 10 seconds...but if I'm transfering something from that
computer everything is OK.
In the ifconfig output there are 2 values that are changing:
"carrier": from 0 to 1
and "errors": from 0 to 1
when carrier and erros are 0 everiyhing is OK.

Hello,
I'm trying to install a network card Compaq NETFLEX 3/P(tlan.o module) and
here is what I got:
1.ifconfig output:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:5F:D4:6F:84
inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Interrupt:17 Base address:0xf4f0
2. console output:

Jun 14 19:48:45 linux1 kernel: TLAN: eth0 irq=17 io=f4f0, Compaq
NetFlex-3/P, Rev. 16

2. message when I'm trying to use "insmod tlan irq=5 io=0xf4f0

/lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_io
/lib/modules/2.2.9/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter parm_speed
As you can see the IRQ detected is 17.....!!!! I know(with a DOS program)
that the card is on 5 ...
I did tried kernel 2.2.6,7,8,9 with Caldera 2.2,SUSE 6.1 and Redhat 6.1.
I tried to put as a parameter in conf.modules:
"alias eth0 tlan
options tlan io=0xf4f0 irq=5"
and I got the same message: "invalid parameter parm_irq" etc...
What's strange is that after I load the module..with that strange IRQ...I
have conectivity for about 2-3 min...and then nothing...it's really weird.
I've changed 3 cards, I've changed the slot on the mainboard,I've enable
and
disable PNP in BIOS..I did everything!!!
So how can I force to use that IRQ(5)? Or am I doing something wrong here?

If you got this far, your doing better than me. My System board comes
with the CMI8330 chip on board. I've compiled everything in properly per
docs, etc, however, I cannot for the life of me get it to play sounds.
When starting up it tells me that ad1848 is failing due to the device or
file being busy, etc....
I DID manage to get sound to work, for ONE boot at one time, but I don't
know whats changed to knock it out. Want to share your secret of

Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 12:47:38 -0700
Since we upgraded our network to switched hubs and 100Mbps we've been
encountering some strange transient problems. They seemed to primarily
affect ftp transfers between subnets on the same network (i.e. traffic
must go thru router), though in some cases nfs was also affected.
We tried all sorts of weird stuff to try and sort
it out (tcpdumping, cable testing, switch frigging etc etc) and were
left
kinda scratching our heads until I did a usenet search and noticed that
in several groups ppl had posted stuff about a bug with DEC tulip cards
and 100Mbps switched hubs.
We also occasionally saw problems between machines on the same subnet
(an NT
box and an IRIX box). In this case, the NT box contained a tulip based
Accton NIC.
Importantly, our router is a linux box with two DEC tulip (21140) cards
in it.
Just wondering whether other people have suffered similar problems to
these/
can shed some knowledgeable light on this problem?
Thanks a lot,

I have seen keyboards that have a pointing device (touch pad or

Does anyone know of a PS/2 keyboard that has a place to plug in
a PS/2 mouse, so you could have a keyboard/mouse connected to one
PS/2 connector on the computer? I have just got a laptop that has
only one PS/2 connector and I would like to connect a regular keyboard

The laptop does have a USB port.
I think Linux does not support this yet.

I'm glad you mention that, because I'm looking to get a sound card

can put them onto CD.
Anyone recommend a card with decent sounding *input* facilities too?

I suggest you approach this problem in two parts:
1. Establishing driver support for your NIC, presumably in the
form of a loadable module. When you have established this successfully,
test the loading of the module with " /sbin/modprobe eth0"
2. Configuring the eth0 interface.

I have read that RH6.0 has a bad boot.img. The last update still did not fix

I just did a fresh install of RH 6 today and got a new D-Link DFE-530 TX
