Hi -
Thanks so much for your help. I really don't mean to be a bother, but I am at
ftp.xfree96.org, and I don't really see what I am supposed to download.
Do I need to download the source or can I just get binaries? I have RedHat 6.0
w/ glibc 2.1 (I think that is the version). I am just a bit lost. Where are the
packages you said I should download?
If you could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

yet. Sorry but I don't know the others, but basically the way things go
is that the drivers are basically loaded into the kernel. You can

Download the drivers disks from intel, run softset2 and disable plug-n-
pray. From then use yast, the nic settings to reflect the correct io.
If you want, manually edit your /etc/conf.modules to say
alias eth0 eepro
options eepro io=(your io goes here)

You're wrong.. Linux has USB support for keyboard and mouse already. Get the
latest kernel 2.2.10 and include the drivers/usb/Config.in into your
arch/i386/config.in, enable the experimental option and you're on it..! Good

If you don't have iso9660 cdrom support, how did you install linux?
just type: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hd(IDE either a,b,c,d) -r /mnt (or
/cdrom)
I have my cdrom drive on the second IDE controller with 2 hdd's on the first,
so mine looks like:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc -r /cdrom
Disregard the parentheses
you might want to check you /etc/fstab file, just do:
% cat /etc/fstab
to see if there are any clues about your cdrom there
I have my kernel source installed in: /usr/src/linux so I don't need to worry
about not having source code handy (it's worth a try), but I'm running
Slackware 3.6 and you may not be.
I'm sorry I don't have a ZIP and would have to learn how to use it when I get
it.
I've been having HELL with my built-in Yamaha OPL-3sAx chip in my intel 440lx
mboard also, for MONTHS!!

Hi everyone and sorry for the flashy not really correct title. I saw so

Until these cards are properly supported by the accelerated drivers one

Never had to use this trick (or read the man page), I always compile in

Subject: Does this sound like bad hardware?
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 23:57:47 GMT
Hello everyone,
I finaly switch to linux because MS was driving me nuts.
(that and I always wanted to) I am beginning to wonder now if I don't
have some bad hardware. Here is the deal.
My System
PII - 400
128MB PC-100 DIMM
2x 8.4 Max EIDE driv
Aopen AX6B mobo
ATI Rage Fury 128
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI for CD-Rom and CD-R
3Com ISA Pnp 56k modem
SB PCI64 sound. -- I think that is about it
In Win98 I have a horrible memory leak. At boot, I would
only have 65%-75% resources free. After 2-4 hours of use photoshop
and such (or web), it would be down to 40% and would slowly go down
from there to 0% (day or two). I finally got Win98SE to see if this
would fix the problem as I had heard of 98 having memory leaks. With
98SE, I now have 92%-95% free at boot up. Again, an few hours and my
resources drop to 70%-75% and continue to drop lowly. It is a lot
better then it was but still not good.
Well, I now have RedHat 6 up and running with e/gnome. It
works fine except for some configuration for the sound. The resources
aren't very good though. At a fresh boot, the system monito shows
about 60MB of ram in use. ( I think I need to get rid of some things
like httpd). the Screen response is slow, but I think that has to do
more with the frame burred driver for the vid. (1024x768x24) I let
it up and running one night with only the screensaver going. The next
day after work (17hrs or so) I check the mem again. It was over 110MB
used. Most of it was in use my X (58MB) This is worrying me. The
system is not touching the 133MB swap drive, but I don't understand
how someone can run this if it is normal for it to used 110MB or ram!
With that explained, I am wondering it it could be a hardware
problem; Ram, or mother board. I have never ever, not once had an
error in the system. 98 was always seen and reported 128MB of ram, as
well as a few diagnostic programs. I have never had problems booting,
nor a large amount of mysterious halts in Win or Linux. It just
doesn't make since to me. I have a 166 at work with 95 and it stays
up for 5 days at a time and never drops below 82% free. Please let me
know of anything I should try or look at. I am up for just about
anything now. I am tired of a Kick-butt system that thinks it's a
grandmother or something.
Thanks, and sorry about the length.

I thought I answered this in email. The simple answer is 'no', not

What you want to get running is "X", not Linux. Linux sounds like it's
working properly.

I beg to differ. There should be no performance increase over using a PCI
based RAID controller compared with a SCSI-SCSI RAID controller (all
things being equal with the RAID controller's CPU being equally powered in
both scenarios).

Anything based on the NCR/Symbios 810 Fast SCSI-2 chipset should be more
than sufficient. These are typically less than $50 USD and PCI based. The
ASUS SC-200 or Tekram cards fit this bill. Stay away from ISA cards if you
can help it.

Ok, I'll buy the modem as a DCE device; I was going on memory but I
