That's a memory leak in Nvidia's drivers, same problems with TNT 2 Ultra
It won't clodge up you system though as all this memory is allocated as
buffer, so other apps can still get it if they need it. This particular
memory leak also makes it impossible to play mpeg movies to the end with
smpeg.

I recently bought a Hauppauge card,
but I have a few difficulties getting it
to work on my linuxbox.
System is RH6.2, with the standard
2.2.14 kernel.
This is from a 'tail -f /var/log/messages':

The eeprom-content: tuner=(4) shows that it has difficulties
locating the tuner, according to the BTTV-mini-howto (4) says
'no tuner' :(
modprobing the tuner with argument 'type=5' both before and after
the bttv-module has no effect.
I know the card has a Pal B/G tuner,
thats pretty much it.
Any help appreciated

I'm not even certain that this is correct. Besides the fact that he was
inserting a virgin disk to his machine. IMNSHO, things should be taught
correctly from the beginning, rather than giving people the "cop-out"
or "band-aid" solution. Linux really doesn't have to be re-booted except
in certain specific cases (hardware failure/upgrade, which includes the
failure/addition of a UPS, kernel upgrade, extreme sysadmin negligence
causing the system to start into a tailspin).

That shouldn't have been neccesary. FDISK quite nicely warns you if it
has trouble calling IOCTL to write to the disk, vis;
** fdisk excerpt begins **
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-read table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
Reboot your system to ensure the partition table is updated.

information.

** fdisk excerpt ends **
FYI - I was confident (stupid? Ballsy?) enough to do this on my primary
master HDD which contains my root (/) partition while my system was
running, including such things as XFree86 v4.0 in which I'm writing this
response to you.
No damage was done, and my system continues to function without any hiccups.
FYI2 - No, I did not actually make any changes to the table. I merely ran
fdisk /dev/hda as root, and entered 'w' at the prompt (write table to disk
and exit).

A secondary follow-up to this;
It should be noted that altering the partition table of a booted drive
is always a bad idea if you wish to guarantee data integrity. Myself,
I'd never think of altering the partition data for a drive that contained
active data.

Hi folks,
I'm running Caldera OpenLinux 2.4Desktop, kernel 2.2.14. I'm trying
to configure my Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI. (Says ct4810 on the board) I
thought the es1731 module was supposed to work on it, but it doesn't.
When I run lspci, I get:
Multimedia Controller: Ensoniq: Unknown device 5880 (rev 2)
I've scoured the newsgroups and OSS mailing lists and read tons of posts
about this card, but no one has mentioned the 5880 chipset with this
card... just the 1371.
So can anyone point me in the right direction about which module to use?
Thanks!

Subject: Printing Problem
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 21:25:33 GMT
I am having trouble with my print jobs being cut off at the bottom
and finished on a second page. I am using an epson 800 with
ghostscript 6.1 and the new stp driver from gimp-print.
My printcap is as follows:
lp|epson:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/stcolor-filter:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:pc#150:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
changing the pl from 66 to 60 had no effect; I don't quite under-
stand the pc value. Printing a letter size scan from gv (100 percent)
cuts off not quite half an inch. Printing from gimp produces the
same result, even though the page margins are much larger. I have
a scan available on my ftp if needed.
My magicfilter command line is as follows:
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=stp
-sModel=escp2-800 -r720x720 -sQuality='720 DPI Microweave' -sMediaType='Inkjet Paper'
-dGamma=1.25 -dImageType=2 -dDensity=0.7 -sOutputFile=- -
I saw something about PageOffset posted, but I don't quite see
how to incoporporate that (if it is applicable).
I am attaching a legal size scan of a letter size printing attempt.
One more question: how tricky would a transition from lpd to
CUPS be, and would it yield a noticeable improvement on a home
system?

Thanks for the info.
Acutally this is preventing me from running my applications. My machine
just swaps indefinatelly when I try to load it up. The application gets
a little bit of what it needs (maybe about 12% of the system memory) and
then it loses it, dropping down to 7%. X and the application just play
tag taking the memory away from each other preventing my application
from loading up.

I'm thinking abvout upgrading my computer. I'm running a pentium 166
right now which handles linux well enough. I was thinking about upgrading
to aq dual processor pentium III, and was hoping to find out how linux
works with a dual processor pentium system? Does it support it? Does it
balance processes between both processors, or does it do a poor job with
that. Right now I'm using Redhat 5.2, I pressume I would need Redhat 6.2
or later whenever the next releease comes out, etc, etc..
Thanks for the feedback.

Stay away from the i840 SMP boards for the time being. People are
having problems getting dual P3's working with the APIC used on those
boards. I _believe_ - heavy emphasis on "believe" - that this is a
non-serious problem that just needs the attention of a real kernel
hacker, but I don't think we know for sure yet.
As far as the 100MHz FSB dual P3 boards go, I don't believe you will
have any problems. I ran SMP Linux with one processor for a while,
and while I did have to turn my MP Spec to 1.1 (instead of 1.4) in the
BIOS to avoid traps, that has probably either been fixed (this was
kernel 2.0.38, I think) or is a result of SMP-on-one-CPU.
> Does it support it?
Yes. In fact, Debian Linux 2.2.15 has SMP enabled by default. (I'm
not entirely sure _why_, but it is.)
> Does it balance processes between both processors, or does it do a

It does a fine job, from what I've heard. I _believe_ Linux handles
relatively small numbers of CPUs better than almost anyone else, but
doesn't scale quite as well as some of the others. I have zero data
to back that up, however, so take my words with a grain of salt.

You don't _need_ it. You might enjoy some of the newer features.
