I use an MS Intellimouse with RH6.1 and XFree86 4.0.

I found that the mouse must be IMPS/2

I also found that you need the ZAxisMapping 4 5, but had to add it using the new
Option format.
I am not at the machine in question right now, but ottomh :

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

perhaps ?

I also use imwheel ....

Subject: SCSI, Epox MVP3C and AMDK6-2 problems
Date: 20 Mar 2000 14:14:12 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've had problems with some Epox MVP3C motherboards with AMDK6-2 processors
with SCSI controllers running Linux.  The problem appears during heavy disk
usage, when the system simply freezes solid with the disk controller activity
LED on continuously.  It appears with Adaptec 2940UW and Symbios 875-based
wide SCSI controllers.  I noticed it first after an upgrade to one of these
motherboards and processors (400MHz).  Since then I have seen it in every
one of these boards I get.

If you have such a system, you can cause the failure by doing a copy of
large files from one disk in the system to another.  I use a 24X CD-ROM and
copy a several-hundred megabyte file from the CD to the hard disk.  Fails
every time.  Be prepared to do a power cycle if you try this.

After eliminating all the other hardware by swapping each piece out, I am
left with what appears to be a motherboard issue.  I have seen this problem
now in three motherboards from two suppliers.  They work for most things,
but put a fast SCSI controller and disk in there, and boom!

In the case of the first supplier, I returned the motherboard and processor,
and was told "the motherboard passed our tests."  Their tests, of course,
consist of putting the board in a plain IDE system and booting Win95 or Win98.
If it runs for an hour, they claim the board is good.  They refused to replace
the motherboard and charged me a restocking fee when I said "don't send it to me
again." 

This was "Motherboard Superstore", www.mssi.com, Sulphur, Louisiana.

I should note, at this time, that this combination is known to work.  AMD
recommends the board.  It's been reviewed.  I have another system essentially
identical to it that works fine and has _never_ had a hangup.  Extremely
stable system, and very fast, with a 10K rpm Quantum drive in it.

I purchased, from another place, another board and CPU (500Mhz this time.)
Same behavior exactly.  Sent it back on an RMA.  They couldn't find anything wrong
with it, but at least replaced it, although again charging me a replacement fee.
The replacement has exactly the same behavior.  It will only run at 400MHz
with memory throttled down.  To run with memory at full speed you have to run
the processor at 300MHz.

I now have some questions:

1.  Is anyone else running systems with similar configurations?  Are you having
problems?

2.  If so, have you figured out a way to fix them?

3.  Do you know of a component supplier that will stand behind their equipment
in a system running Linux?  I know of several who will not.

Either e-mail or a follow-up post would be fine.  If a summary is requested,
I will e-mail one.  If enough people request one, I will post it.

Charles.

Hi,

I had some Linux patritions on my hard drive (primary and logical as well).
I have overritten the partiotion table using DOS fdisk. Now, Linux can boot
from the first partition but the other are not visible. And I need some data
from a logical partition. Can I recover the old partition table? Or can I
recover some data from some place on the disk to the first partition? Maybe
DOS fdisk make backup of the partition table and I can recover it? And the
last question: can I use Linux fdisk to set up the partitions without
loosing stored data?

Thanks in advance for help

They're the same --- the 1542 has a floppy controller, the 1540 does not.
Be careful with termination, especially if you've got a 1540c

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hey folks -

I've been having this odd-ball problem with a PC at work.  It's an HP Kayak
XAs that originally came with an NCR SCSI controller.  While installing
Mandrake 6.1, it found and configured the controller just fine.  However,
when I tried to build a new kernel, Linux suddenly thought I had 21 SCSI
controllers.  Each controller supposedly had 7 removable devices attached to
it, as well.

Mar 20 08:48:00 camshaft kernel: SCSI device sdj: hdwr sector= 512 bytes.
Sector
s= 524289 [256 MB] [0.3 GB]

Mar 20 08:48:00 camshaft kernel:  sdd: sdd1 sdd2 sdd3

Mar 20 08:48:00 camshaft kernel:  sddr: sddr1 sddr2 sddr3

It does find the real controller OK, and Linux actually boots fine (albeit
slowly.)

If I go back to the distribution's kernel (same version, 2.2.13-7) it only
sees one SCSI hosts as it should.  Recently, I popped the NCR out and
replaced it with an Adaptec 2940UW.  I rebuilt the kernel, and sure enough,
21 hosts again.

I have to assume it's *another* option in the kernel somewhere that I'm
checking, or not checking.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I
might try?

Thanks much.

I tried looking for an entry where ide support was sepcific to the
cdrom drive, but the only entry I had also covered the hard-drive.
If I unchecked that one I found I lost support for my hard-drive and
had to boot from my unmodified secondary kernel. Under which section
in the menuconfig screen should I be looking?

Subject: Linksys NC100 not working
Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 15:27:33 GMT

I just recently bought two LinkSys NC100 cards along with a crossover
cable to
network my two computers together.  They work fine under Windows but I
can't
get either computer to see them in Linux.  I get the same results on
both
computers.  My main computer is a Celeron 333 on an ASUS P2-B with the
latest
BIOS.

I currently using Redhat 6.1.  Upon bootup I get the error
"Delaying eth0 initialization".  When I try "insmod tulip" I get
"./tulip.o:
init_module: Device or resource busy".  I have downloaded and compiled
the
newest version of Tulip (v0.91g) and put it in the proper directory
(/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/net) without any problems.  I have tried
compiling the
Tulip driver into the kernel and as a module.  I have disabled the PNP
option
in BIOS.  I have manually tried to set the IRQ, all with the same
results.

I downloaded the tulip-diag program last night and here is what I get:

>tulip-diag
tulip-diag.c:v1.19 10/2/99 Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

If there is a card in the machine, explicitly set the I/O port address
  using '-p <ioaddr> -t <chip_type_index>'
 Use '-t -1' to see the valid chip types.

So then I use the -p option with the card's address as given by
windows and linux:

I am concerned with the line "PCI bus error!: Unknown 7."  Can anybody
tell me
what that means?  Also, two lines below it says "Interrupt sources are
pending!  CSR5 is ffffffff."  I don't understand it but know it
doesn't look
good.  Is there an option I'm missing someplace in the BIOS?  I know
there are
some options in the kernel for BIOS fixes, do I have a broken BIOS?
Do I need
to recompile the kernel with some different options?  I am running a
Celeron
333 on an ASUS P2-B with the latest BIOS.

Hi, I have XFree working in 3.3.6 and 4.0 with this monitor and got the

I still have some problems: The contrast/brigthness is much to low and I
dont know how to pass the options to the kernel that I get the right
resolution from start on. (Im using fbset by now and converted the XFree
modelines with modeline2fb provided with fbset)

I dont know too how to pass the rigth options to the kernel to get

Hi,
 I am desperately trying to find a very simple low level function that

 I have a 2nd, empty, ext2 hard drive mounted to /db/ directory.
 I am using gnu gcc and cannot use functions such as fopen because it is

 I know how to do this in dos by simply calling the bios routine to

stay
 away from dos ;-)
 Currently I am looking into the ll_rw_block() function but I have no
