Subject: X config for ThinkPad 755C?
Date: Thu, 03 Aug 2000 16:08:48 GMT
I just installed a larger HD into an old IBM ThinkPad
755C added RH 6.1. The problem is I can't get X
configured. According to information I found on
the net, this system has a WD90C24A graphics chip
and 1MB of RAM. If I run xf86config and specify that
chip and memory size, it fails at startx time with
a message about missing screen definitions.
(This is letting xc86config completely handle all
configuration chores, by the way.)
Suggestions, anyone? I'll likely only use X
once in a while on this system, so I'll gladly
settle for plain old non-accelerated 640x480x256
colors mode.
Suggestions?

Subject: Real/Non-real time communication over Ethernet?
Date: Thu, 03 Aug 2000 09:34:55 -0700
Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem with real time/non real time data
communication, and I'm
hoping someone can help me. We have a real time process, which will be
running on
an embedded processor under RTLinux2.0 (Linux kernel 2.2.13).
This process is logging data from a set of sensors, and writing the data
to a file
or buffer, in real time. I'd like to be able to do online data
visualisation on
a host machine, connected to the embedded system via Ethernet. I figure
that
the real time process can write the data to a real time FIFO, and that a
non-real
time process (a normal Linux process running on the embedded processor)
can pull the data out of this buffer and send it over the Ethernet, as
time permits.
I would then have a data stream coming into the host, (running Linux or
Windows)
for which I ought to be able to find some tools to do pseudo-real time
plotting
(sort of like a 'scope on slow trace).
Has anyone done this sort of thing before, and if so, do you have any
example
code/hints/tricks? I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Robert Sheridan

It is:
startx -- -bpp 16
Server options come after the double dash.
More basic options are listed on the Xserver(x) man page.
The -bpp option is documented on the XFree86(x) man page.
It might not work, if you use another X server.

Subject: Dell Dimension 4100 compatibility
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 12:45:55 -0400
I am considering a new Dell Dimension 4100 system to replace my 5 year old
Gateway 233MMX system. I have had linux installed since July 95 (kernel
1.0.xx), and installed redhat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) last year when I got a new
hard drive, so I am somewhat experienced with Linux.
My question is, will Redhat 6.2 install "out-of-the-box" on the new Dells?
The configuration is as follows:
PIII 800
Intel D815EEA motherboard w/815E chipset
256MB PC133 SDRAM
45 GB Ultra ATA100 hard drive
8/4/32x CD-RW drive
Sound Blaster Live! Value digital sound card
3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP (replacing TNT2 M64)
I don't need to do 3D gaming, but want to be sure at least the 2D works for
this video card. Also, I may not be able to swing the V5 right away, and
might go for a Voodoo3 3000 AGP temporarily
I also don't need to burn CDs on Linux, but would like the CD-RW drive to at
least be able to read CDs.

Hi,
to my experience, it's much harder to get a standard distribution small than
to start from scratch an put in the progs that are really needed.
I personally had good experience with LEM as starting point. Pretty small
(~5 MB),
includes X, but some certain amount of work to do also to get it to your
needs (e.g.
compile a kernel).

Hi
I have a Motorola PowerStackII and wanted to install Linux.
Tried to install suse 6.4, but their boot image does not recognize my
scsi drive. So I have used LinuxPPC boot loader. After that I have
manage to install suse6.4
But now the same problem with booting. Suse boot loader does not work
and LinuxPPC boot loader works but has a different version number so it
does not load the modules. Hence the ethernet card does not work.
I have tried to recompile suse but with no luck. Also tried yellowdog
distribution. Any one has any idea? Please let me know.

Must be nice. My Athlon 600 is blindingly fast until I go to burn, then
I dasn't play solitaire. 4x is no faster than 2x, but it eats a whole lot
more of the machine (i.e. slows everything else down amazingly).

I'd like to be able to run "hello world" at the same time, at at least
the same speed as my old 8088, without destroying the burn.

The CPU (or controlling device) issues a "write" signal to the circuit.

Are DMA, multisector reads, 32-bit I/O, and IRQ unmasking enabled on
your HD? Do that if you can. Also, the CD-RW itself plays a part...
mine has a 2M cache, which coupled with cdrecord's default 4M FIFO gives
a 10-second cushion at 4x. If the cache on the drive is tiny, the
likelihood of buffer underruns goes up. Or try passing cdrecord the
option "fs=8M" to double the size of cdrecord's FIFO. Uses more RAM,
but should keep things purring along more happily.
Also, post the make/model of your drive so others know what to avoid :-)

Oh, come on! Anything above or equal to a PII should be able to handle
600kB/s needed to burn at 4x with no pain... In my case, I must confess
that the dual PIII 500MHz probably helps the system work nicely even while
burning ;-) I've never seen the buffer drop below 99%...

Depends on what you mean by "run on". As in "can it read them" the answer is
yes - on my system
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win -t vfat
after
mkdir /mnt/win
works just fine (do mkdir /mnt/win ONCE only!) for reading and writing in
the "windows part" of my HDD.
If you mean "run on" such as "execute from / or boot from" the answer as far
as I know is no - Linux must boot from a native Linux partition formatted as
an Ext2. (Right?)
What do you mean you "hard drive crashed"? Do you mean you cannot get into
Windows anymore, you can only get Linux, or you get LILO: and nothing
happens? Or does it just hang?

Hi there,
did you try to use wvdial? If not try as it helped me to solve the problem.
I had configured my modem and could by using minicom dialup and login/password
for my ISP but kppp and wvdial fail with message that "pppd died". wvdial
provide me with a little more details - could not authentificate. So, after
some unsuccessfull reading of documentation I came to conclution than pppd try
to find "How to auntheficate remote system?" but I don'n need it and my ISP do
not support it as do most ISP. I found in man pppd that there is option
"noauth" and I put it into /etc/ppp/options now it had
lock
noauth
I started wvdial and it pass place where problem happened. I started kppp and
it dial and connect without any problem. I beleive that you have same problem
as many linux people who configure modem for first time. I read a lot posts to
DEJA but I did not find answer there, I had to use "strace ppp" to see what
happen inside of pppd to come to conclusion that it is not
/etc/ppp/[ch|p]ap-secret problem.
Now modem works and require to confugure to send/receive fax, and voice

imwheel started (pid=898)"
I did confirm that neither gpm nor another imwheel process was running.
Also, I did the necessary mods to /etc/X11/XF86Config as suggested in
the imwheel docs.
Any pointers would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks a lot both of you.
If I have to make it myself, I'll start with an Apple cable, and cut that to
solder a D-shell on one end, rather than trying to solder onto the tiny little
apple connecter.

Don't get a card based on the Trident 3DImage 9750 chipset. Works only after
tweaking in X11R6, and only in 24bit color. Another post says Matrox cards
are well supported in X - try one of them.

How does one create a .tar.gz directly to tape without first creating
the archive on disk first and then doing the "tar cvf /dev/nst0
somename.tar.gz ??????
