Hi,
Someone could help me figure out what is wrong with:
1. my printer driver. I recently upgraded from 5.1 to 6.0
and I have a BJC 4400 Canon printer, which when I test it from the
control panel (printtool) prints perfectly a color postscript,
however when I want to print a postscript file it does or doesn't
depending on the time of the day ???? :-) Can't figure out
what's wrong with it. When I send a postscript file to the
printer and later check the queue, it's nothing there or even
worse the file has been sent but no printing takes place.
I use the BJC600-4000 auto configuration for the printer.
2. Can anyone give me an idea how to configure my sound card-
I have a Turtle Beach Montego that doesn't show up in the
list when I configure it. Anyone who has that?
Thanks a lot.
Andrei

What version of Linux are you using? With RH5.2 I had to download the
'imwheel' program with it's patch to gpm to get satisfactory performance
with my Microsoft Intellimouse PS/2 (with wheel). However the deficiencies
appear to have been resolved in RH6.0, although 'imwheel' is still required
to have the mouse wheel function in X applications.
My RH5.2 problem was not however in X, but that the mouse didn't work at
all after I exited X and went back to the console.

Hi all,
I have just installed SuSE 6.1 and found that it cannot play the
system sounds (that is, the sound that will heard when i open, close,
minimize a window... etc).
I have already checked the "enable system sounds" in the "sound"
section of the KDE control center. I also found that those .wav files
can be played without any problem when i click them in the file manager.
Can anyone give me a hand???

Yeah, Intel's shot itself on the foot with the Celeron lines.
I doubt the K-7 will drop to under $200. soon... but you'll never
know. Look at the P-III. Dropped almost by half in less than 6 months.
But AMD doesn't have any SMP cpu yet.

K6 CPUs are not SMP aware and cannot be used in more than single CPU
configurations. Even if they were SMP aware (like the AMD K5s were),
their programmable interrupt controller (PIC) uses a different standard
than that of Intel's. Nobody made a dual board that supported K5s,
either.
The K7/Athlon will be made SMP capable, but there are not any boards on
the market that support this configuration yet.
Mike.

The K7/Athlon is SMP capable, but there is no motherboard that supports
SMP configurations as of yet. None of the supporters of the K7 technology

I am afraid I don't understand... could you give me some more information?
E.g. how to find out whether a virus is there or not and how to clean it
with the least possible destruction of MBR and partition table...

I looked up this drive. Sustained transfer rates off of the disk are
from 140Mbit/s to 224Mbit/s. Converting from bits to bytes, that's
17.5MBytes/s to 28MBytes/s. Pretty fast, but slower than a UDMA33
interface. Since you can only have two devices on an EIDE channel,
there's very little benefit to having an interface much faster than the
data coming off of the heads. With SCSI, and multiple drives sharing a
bus, faster busses are a win.
If the price is right, and the drive is cool, quiet, and reliable, then
28MB/s is a good reason to buy this drive. But UDMA66 is not. No doubt
faster drives will come along, and UDMA66 will be needed then. But it
still won't saturate the standard PCI bus - 132MB/s, or 33MHz times 4
Bytes at a time. 4.7 times faster than the drive. 66MHz, 64 bit PCI
gives a whopping 528MB/s rate, almost 19 times the internal transfer
rate of the Western Digital Expert. If you need this kind of PCI bus
for disks, you must be looking at some kind of huge disk farm, and they
won't be UDMA66 drives.

This is the one major philosophy difference between the technologies.
ADSL is a guaranteed bandwidth mechanism, i.e. if you subscribe to a
128k service, you will always have 128k bandwidth available. With Cable,
you share a larger bandwidth with a number of other subscribers. This
can lead, in peak times, to transfer rates substantially less than the
128k.

Subject: Re: Dual Celerons, is it possible?
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 18:13:18 GMT
Yes.
The P2/P3 and Celeron share an almost identical core. The only difference is
that the Celeron has it's SMP
support disable by placing one of the pins at an incorrect voltage level (see
docs for details)
To create a SMP machine based on Celerons, the easiest method is to purchase
slot1 to socket 370
converter cards by MSI (which supply the proper voltage levels to all the pins
in the 370 package and
have a jumper to enable or disable SMP modes) and appropriate PPGA Celerons
(matching pairs of course) or if you can find it, Abit has a dual socket 370
board on the market now (the BP6) which requires no modifications or converter
cards (prices I have seen it listed at are about $150).
Most modern SMP bios will recognize the celerons and operate correctly in SMP
mode without modification.
I can atest to the Epox line (I own a beautiful KP6-BS with two celerons in
it) and Linux will take advantage of both processors, after a simple
reconfiguring of the kernel (you need to change the value of "SMP" to 1 in the
primary makefile of series 2.0.x kernels, or simply select "yes" in the 2.2.x
series in the configuration menus)
For more information visit one of vast number of sites that covers this topic.

I was comparing UDMA/66 to UDMA/33. You're comparing UDMA/33 to an
unspecified PIO mode, probably mode 2 given that slow speed. Apples
and oranges.
DMA vs. PIO is a big win in CPU cycles. No question there.
Speeding up the interface is a big win if the interface is the
bottleneck, a small win if the drive is the bottleneck. Since all
of today's drives are slower than 33 MB/s, the drive is always the
bottleneck with UDMA/33, so UDMA/66 is a small win. Small enough
that I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy a UDMA/66 controller
to run their new drive, if they can just put the drive in UDMA/33
mode instead.

Hi all,
I'm a total newbie to Linux and I've got a question about LPR.
I installed a TCP/IP connected Printer (via YaST (SuSE 6.0)).
It's a non-postscript compatible InkJet Printer.
If I click to Print from my Browser Window, I get a postscript file to
my printer. Well, a printer driver is in the package and I can choose the
driver when I configure a locally connected printer, but I can't choose such
a driver when I install my printer. How can I install the printer driver?? I
heard something about APMFILTER. I think I have to configure which printer
driver I have to use with APMFILTER. But how???
And BTW: I want to print normal textfiles too. Is there a command like Print
or sth???
Thanks in advance,
Freddy

Gene Heskett sends Greetings to Frederik Meerwaldt;
First off, I *think* you are referring to 'apsfilter'. If thats the
case, the configuration screen was quite confusing to me until I got a
snotty reply from the author, telling me all this stuff was in the
option 8, 'other' path thru the options. I never considered the
possibility that my Epson Stylus might be an 'Other' printer :-(
My printer was in there, as were dozens of others even newer.
Once setup, it absolutely kicks what this amiga can do to a sheet of
paper (except with GS5.10) clear into the trash can. I think you'll be
pleasantly surprised too.
BTW, you will need to upgrade the ghostscript install to 5.50 before
quite a bit of apsfilters options work, even 5.10 doesn't contain the
huge majority of the .upp and .upd files. It was sorta a beta release
for that stuff.

Humm, IIRC that the printer needs to be *on* the users machine for
apsfilter, not on a shared basis someplace on the net. I could be full
of it too, so get it and rtm. :-\

This might be the above problem running incognito.

For that, once you have apsfilter properly setup, you use the syntax:
lpr -Praw /path/to/file

This, is actually not a kernel related problem. If you are using
XFree86 3.3.3.1, you should also be sure that you are using the correct X
server. I'm using the same card, AGP, with the Mach 64 server, and have
no problems. Be sure that you are using that, or maybe, the SVGA or VGA16
server (just as backup), to be sure your card is working. other than
that, you should be fine.
