I had the Diamond MX400 working with RH 6.1 BEFORE I blew up X windows and
had to reload. Now I cannot remember how to get this soundcard working
again. It DOES work, done it. DOn't remember how. SInce I am almost a
linux idiot(well not really), I do remember that it was NOT hard to get it
to work. But many drinks later, and I can't remember.
Can anyone help???

I want to set-up a production server at my house

would be, I only have 3 criteria:
- cheap, sub $500
- doesn't have to be blazing fast, I'm only going
to be running Apache, PHP, and MySQL on it (well,
plus the other stuff, but it's not going to get a
whole lot of work)
- reliable (I don't want a POS with a HDD that
craps out in 6 months)
I've been looking at the eMachines 466is and it
looks like a good deal (still need to install a
NIC). Has anyone found anything else that can do
the it on the cheap and without install headaches?

go to http://www.freshmeat.net and search for "lmsensors". It's a patch
for the kernel that allows it to report those pieces of info on many
motherboards. Kind of neat...

By far the easiest is if you have a i2c winbond chip
(most boards do). Then you can use the original version
of Khealthcare without needing lm_sensors and compiling
i2c modules. Any item you select can be docked into
KDE's panel, eg, cpu's internal core temperature. With
the standalone Khealthcare I can get my Voodoo3's temp.
Never could get that to work properly with lm_sensors.
=20
http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg7229/khealthcare/
otherwise there's various frontend's for lm_sensors
http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78 including the newer version
of Khealthcare, for just about any other i2c SMBus chip
on any motherboard. lm_sensors is a good app, but the docs
with it are the worst. You'll need to have the source tree=20
for your kernel in /usr/src/linux, and either compile the=20
i2c lm_sensors modules into the kernel, or compile them as=20
loadable modules against the kernel you're runnin.

I have used sndconfig to set up my sound card and seem
to have made the correct configuration during the set-up. That is, the
sound and midi tests work (i.e. produce sound) and the Audio Mixer
applet is installed. However, no sound is in Gnome (even when sndconfig
is run from a terminal window in Gnome) What have I done wrong or not
done at all?

Whynot try a Pia from The Linux Store?

I've read through various HOW-TOs, Laptop pages, etc, but I'm still
having troubles. I have an IBM Thinkpad 390X that sndconfig reports as
an ESS Tech ES1969. I have installed the ALSA 5.5 drivers, and set it
up as an ES1938. I actually get sound, and the CD Player works fine.
The problem is with other sounds such as wav or mp3 files. The speakers
actually make noise, but it sounds pretty much like low volume static.
With certain wav files or with mp3 files I can sometimes hear distorted
parts of what the sound is supposed to be coming through the static.
Any thoughts????

Do you have support for psaux in your kernel or loaded as a module? If
it is compiled into the kernel, is the mouse detected at boot?

I have no experience from SuSE, but I see no reason not to have serial
support compiled into the kernel. Then you won't have to mess with
modules.

There *is* a filesystem on this partition isn't there?
Is it the same type (ext2, vfat, whatever) as you're telling mount?
If it's ext2 have you fsck'ed it recently?

'wrong fs type' sounds like a likely cause of this. What exactly type is
it, and how are you calling mount?

Have you upgraded XFree86? RH 5.2 comes with some version that's pretty
old, but the Trident Blade3D requires a pretty recent version (3.3.4 or
above, I believe; I'm using it with 3.3.6). I've got a web page about how
I got my Compaq Presario 1200-XL106 laptop working, including X
configuration using the computer's built-in Blade3D chipset. (Actually,
the Compaq uses a VIA MVP-4 chipset, which includes the Blade3D as a
subset of the main chipset.) You might be able to use my XF86Config file
as a starting point. Check http://www.rodsbooks.com/presario/ for details.
