I have a ASUS CUV4X motherboard with onboard sound - does anyone know where
I can get a Linux driver for this? I looked at the recent posts to this ng,
but didn't see anything.

Yes. I am currently working on this problem.
It's on a SuSE 6.2 installation, running kernel
2.2.10. The driver works just fine when it
detects the three 9 GB Seagate Cheetahs, but when
I try to add an 18 GB Seagate Cheetah, the bus
keeps resetting ad infinitem. I'll try to post
back a fix as soon as I find one.

The only ones I know are industrial PC passive boards - means you
additionally need at least a slot cpu. Moreover it's not cheap - but
spending some more money for the box you can even get 20 ISA slots.

Okay, I found one potential solution. It's from SuSE. I'm not even
sure if the updated module will work, but I'm game to try it. Here's
the link to SuSE's support db. There's a download link at the bottom
for the updated module.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a SiteCom PCMCIA 10/100 ethernet card on my TravelMate 4000M.
I have contacted SiteCom in the Netherlands, but get no reply so am
unable to find out what ethernet chip it is using. There is seemingly no
information in the manual or on the card itself.
It has a Redhat 6.0 driver and has a module called lna100.o but I am
running SuSE6.3. I have tried to use the module, but I get no reports on
the detection taking place and if I try an INSMOD, it reports it cannot
find the module. If I do an IFCONGIG I see no eth0.
Has anyone got any idea what chip/driver would be on this SiteCom card
or any pointers to move forward with this. I have to option to return it
if I cannot get it working and only have 10 days left!
Thanks
Leo

Basically, no, no multifunction devices work particularly well.
In practice, many can print and just not scan, so what you need may
yet happen. The only ones that scan are some of the OfficeJet ones;
see http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/
For printing compatibility, see my website. The functionality scores
for multifunction devices *do* reflect all device functions, so all
the multifunction devices that print fine but don't do other things
have poor scores.
Also, be sure you really want an integrated device. They're usually
pretty poor at each thing they do.

Well, you want to start when you start X windows (to try it out you can
give the "imwheel" command in a term window in X - when you get it
configured right, you can add it to .xinitrc).
If the dox got installed properly, there is a manual page for imwheel
(man imwheel)
There should be an /etc/imwheelrc
configuration file.
You can have a default action for actions (moving the wheel being the same
as using the up-arrow key, for example: Holding down shift and moving the
wheel being the same as using page_up: etc.) and special actions for
programmes that need them.
It converts your wheel actions to key presses (e.g. scrolling to using the
up_arrow: one press of the up_arrow each time the forward scroll switch
connects).
Remember to set your XF86Config file to indicate five buttons (left,
right, press the wheel down, the switch for scrolling forward and the
switch for scrolling back) with z-axis mapping set to buttons 4 5.
So ... the first thing to do is, in a term window in X (say, in Gnome) to
give the command: "imwheel" and see what happens.

I've been hearing good things about the SuperMicro 370DLE and 370DL3
motherboards over in the Beowulf mailing list. Several people have them and
are begining to report back on them. Note: several SuperMicro dual
processor motherboard models have the Intel 840 chipset and have
compatibility problems with Linux. These boards have the ServerWorks LE
chipset, which has some pretty impressive specs - the ServerWorks HE
chipset is even more impressive, but is designed for the 6-8 processor PIII
Xeon high-end market. Some nice things about them are 133Mhz FSB, dual
independent PCI buses (one 32-bit, the other 64-bit), and Ultra160 SCSI
controller (370DL3). I am currently setting up an 8-node Beowulf cluster
based on the 370DL3 motherboard and dual 933 P-III Coppermines...

As far as I know, there no significant performance advantage of one over
the other. It seems to me that if ide-scsi works with the devices you
have, then you might as well go ahead and use it for them. It appears
from this newsgroup that certain devices still have problems with
ide-scsi, so those may be stuck with ide-cd for now.

No need to be disturbed! They may be annoying, but they don't hurt
anything as far as I know. Since you already have compiled your kernel
once, the easy way to get rid of the messages is to go back into the
kernel configuration and select "N" for "Probe all LUNs on each SCSI
device". I suspect you are unlikely to encounter multiple LUNs unless
you are setting up SCSI RAID arrays.

Don't think so.

Lots of people have mentioned the multiple LUNs thingy on this
newsgroup.

Is the ZIP drive the primary IDE device on the secondary IDE bus, ie
/dev/hdc? I'm not quite sure why ide-cd did not grab your CDRW, though.
But in any case, some people have reported problems mixing ide-cd and
ide-scsi on the same IDE cable, so you are probably better off this way.

sda? Isn't that a real SCSI device? Do you perhaps have a SCSI card or

I see nothing wrong with the way you have things setup, and cannot
really think of a good reason, other than just experimenting, to change
anything. But I am guessing you are going to be doing a lot more
tweaking in the coming weeks and months. It appears that "If it works,
don't mess with it" just isn't in your nature:-) I would say Linux is a
perfect fit for you, so have fun.

You can determine whether this is a problem by loading ide-scsi and then
executing "dmesg". Is your device listed multiple times:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX140E Rev: 1.0n
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 01
Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX140E Rev: 1.0n
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 02
Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX140E Rev: 1.0n
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
...etc
Then do "ls /dev/sg*". If you only have /dev/sga - sgh, then they were
all taken by the 8 LUNs of the first drive, and so this is indeed the
problem. To use the second drive, you either can disable the multiple
LUNs in the kernel, or create another device file:
# cd /dev
# mknod sgi c 21 8

I have never been able to get the joystick up and going on my Linux
(Mandrake 7.0) box. The sound card works fine, but how do I enable the js
port. Tried insmod joystick...insmod joystick-gravis(gives error)...jstest,
jscal...no luck yet. I would really appreciate some feedback on this
issue...the Documentation on this is a little poor!

and s390 is IBM's S/390 mainframe architecture (yes Linux can run a
real mainframe <g>)
