Subject: SCSI HP Scanner: Sane works, XSane doesn't
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 13:17:41 -0400
Hey all I finally got Linux to recognize my SCSI HP ScanJet (this involved
painfully getting another card) and sane and xscanimage run fine. The thing
is, when I run xsane, it gives me an error, saying "no devices available."
On bootup the scsi host and scanner are detected, and my advansys module and
sg modules are loaded (even though it says they are used by 0). Does anyone
have any ideas on how to get xsane to work? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Oh, the inkjet mechanisms are all CMYK, or CMYKcm these days.
The "color conversion" is done in software for basically all inkjets.
Inkjet output is heavily dithered; modern inkjet mechanisms are
capable of a handful of dot intensities in 4, 6, or 7 colors. To get
the full range of color out of that you have to do some pretty fancy
dithering.
Free software (well, the gimp print plugin, and the "stp" Ghostscript
driver) has perfectly good dithering code, and so do the vendor
drivers.
If you want "real" color support, ie color profiles, gamut mapping,
and that sort of thing, then there is basically no free software
solution at this time. Some of the bits are half-written, but if we
merely complete the suite, so to speak, we're bound to be sued because
most of the obvious techniques for proper color handling appear to be
patented.
Again, if you want to print photos on an inkjet using free software,
use an Epson Stylus with stp. The quality is night and day better
than what other free software produces. The output is even quite good
in an absolute sense when compared, say, to actual photos, and on a
par with what Epson's software can produce.
If you need the best possible photo quality, you should not buy a
printer at all, but should instead use ofoto.com's small-batch
service. They'll use a snazzy big-time photo printing device to
produce actual photographic prints from your jpeg's bits. The results
are essentially identical to actual photos. Again, however, color
support is a bit shakey - they appear to do minilab-grade color
adjustment, which of course tends to produce wrong results. There may
be an option to turn that off.
All of this and more is, of course, in the Printing HOWTO, but people
don't like to RTFM anymore.

Subject: cdrom, sound, modem
Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2000 17:30:03 GMT
I've installed Slackware 7.1, but have roughly 3 problems:
1) I am unable to mount my cdrom (during init, it indicates detection of my
cdrom and assigns it hdb (atapi 44x); hda1 = win98, hda2 = linux swap, hda3
= native); mount /mnt/cdrom indicates no cdrom device in the /etc/fstab
file -- is this a problem? Can you tell me specifically how to mount the
cdrom?
2) I do not have sound (my sound card is a 3D Soundpro).
3) One of the problems I had installing Win98 is that my modem was not
initialized properly at first; I had to change the IRQ setting for my Com4
port to 4; it now works. During Slackware installation i indicated that
Com4 was the location of my modem; however, initialization does not take
place correctly; is the BIOS assigning the same IRQ setting that I
initially had trouble with during Win98 installation? If so, how do I
determine the present IRQ setting for the modem, and change it.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Subject: SUSE 6.4/IDE Controller - Installation question
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 12:52:04 -0500
I have an old Acer Pentium 100 machine. The on-board IDE controller(s) have
gone bad so I purchased a new 13 GB hard drive and an I/O Magic Ultra 66 PCI
IDE controller. I've tried to install SUSE 6.4. The system recognizes the
new controller (it uses a Promise chipset) and hard drive just fine. I also
moved my ATAPI CDROM to the new controller and it was recognized and mounted
without problems. The new hard drive is on the first IDE port and the CDROM
is on the 2nd. The drive is /dev/hde (which is ok 'cause I'll use a LILO
boot floppy). I partitioned the drive and formatted the partitions (about 2
hours). Everything went well until the actual OS install. The installation
will not progress beyond about the first 2 packages and then it reports an
error occurred during installation. There are no details about the error.
I figured I would see some hardware errors or something. When formatting
the partitions, I chose the option of formatting and bad block checking.
Does anyone have any suggestions about why the installation failed? I
thought the difficult part of the process would be recognizing and using the
new controller/drive. I don't think the installation CD has a problem
because I've installed the complete distro on another machine (all 6+
GB!!!). Wouldn't a hardware problem show up during the
partitioning/formatting stage?
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,
Tony Ledford

Well, a for-instance...
I've got two identical FIC motherboards, with the same amount and type of RAM,
Same vid card (essentially, one was a 3DXpression+PC2TV and the other had no
PC2TV) one with an AMD 233MMX, one with an Intel 233MMX... The intel was
faster.... MUCH faster...
Guess why?
I'd set the DRAM speed to FAST on the Intel, and left it at SLOW (the default) on
the AMD... I don't have any numbers to back this up, and I really don't want to
reboot either of them at the moment just to produce results, but the "feel" was
noticably sluggish on the AMD, until I found that little problem...
Now the machines perform roughly equal... Again, I don't have numbers, but the
feel is about the same, and if you ask me, the AMD feels a bit faster... but
only a little bit.
At any rate, the DRAM speed setting affected performance, making one of two
otherwise nearly identical machines perform very differently.
Of course, I could just be smoking crack...

no, no, it's not pentia. that's plural. mandrake optimizes for *the*
pentium -- as in pentium classic.^1 this specifically excludes
pentiumpro, pentium-ii, celeron, pentium-iii &c. i586 != i686.
[1] ok maybe the old mmx classic version slips in there too.

i like
/boot 10-20MB *at front of disk*
/home 1-2GB or more as you've got space to spare
/ 4-5GB *including* /usr
<swap> 128MB
/boot is there to make the lame bios happy and let lilo load linux. i
use /home to store /etc and /usr/local (tar is good) during upgrade.
i let the / get totally clobbered during the upgrade. therefore, make
/home big enough to hold config stuff and other things you want to
survive the upgrade. the swap depends on memory and how much swap you
use, but 128 is probably a good starting point -- disk being fairly
cheap.
unless i have to (i.e., multiple physical disks), i don't bother with
more partitions because re-partitioning is a pain in the ass and if
you have a lot of small ones, some one of them is bound to get full
sometime.
i have tried the one huge ass parition. i have tried the many little
ones. this is what i've settled on as good for me.

try

if this works u can add this device to your /etc/fstab file (look at the

the dir /mnt/cdrom must exist to mount it.

Thanks to all for your replies. You all had good ideas.
The eventual problem, as far as I can tell, was a bad power supply. This
Gateway shipped with a 145W ATX supply. I had thought that perhaps the
power supply was the problem, so I decided to start there. For 30 bucks,
I replaced the power supply and put a fan on the CPU. Other then the act
that the new power supply will not fit in the case without some
jury-rigging, everything works fine. THe system has now been up for sis
days without a problem, so I'm happy.
Again, thanks to all for your help.

FIX YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY. No one likes being SHOUTED AT.
The source for information about USB devices with Linux is at
http://linux-usb.org/ . Your model is listed as "working". This is a
good sign, but since USB support is not quite in the stable kernel yet,
you're going to have to venture into places that are a bit scary for a
new user. There's more info at
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php3?id=152 and the E-mail
address of at least one guy in Italy who got it working is listed.
Visit the above link, follow the directions, and good luck!

That card is currently supported by Xfree 3.3.6 (I think also 3.3.5 works)
But, the support is not so good, I had a big series of problem with it.
That card is one of the worst I ever seen.

TWO HOURS?????
Is too much, i recently installed Linux on a 17 GB SCSI drive, and
formatting+checking take about 20 minutes.

I think it was a hardware error (disk and/or controller).
