Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 01:16:59 GMT
I have a Gigabyte BX-2000+ (integrated Promise ATA66 controller) with a
Maxtor 92732U8 and a Western Digital ATA66 drive attached to it. When
Mandrake Linux 7.2 boots, the Western digital drive comes up as UDMA4
but the Maxtor comes up as UDMA2. At boot, when the controller
initializes, it states that both drives are set at UDMA4.
I can do "hdparm -X68" on the Western Digital drive and it works. But
the same command won't set the Maxtor drive to UDMA4.
Anyone ever see this? I am using the kernel that comes with Mandrake
7.2.

Does anyone out there have any technical information on the Kodak Disc
Transporter (its a CD autoloader/changer). There is a mention of this thing
in the cdrecord man page, but no indication of how it can be used with
cdrecord. I've been unable to get any technical info out of Kodak thus far
and have found no information on the web. If anyone has any information on
this device I would be most greatful.

What I don't understand is why a company as big as Intel won't support
Linux, even if it was just a driver with an object file and no source,
that would do. I'd like to use the Easy PC camera as a home security
intrusion detection camera. If they made the driver available for
Linux, then I'd buy
at least 3 more cameras.

Actually, I complain about WNT SP5.
For a long time, I was running this configuration at work (as it is what is
provided for us). While yes, my system would stay up for a few weeks at a
time, it would get *very* flaky after a week or two.
After a time, I set it up w/ Linux. Since then, I can leave it running
forever, without any sort of hitch at all.
Cut to my home machine. My current desktop used to run Win98, when I was
gaming a lot. Again -> yeah, I'd leave it up for a few weeks sometimes,
but it'd get real weird, and any heavy gaming would need a reboot. I now
run exclusively linux on it and it has now been up for 6 weeks.
My server machine is running FreeBSD, and has been up for 4 weeks, and only
that short because I was futzing with some of the kernel files. It had
been up for 4 months prior to that -> with no flakiness whatsoever.

Get a monitor that can do analog (standard SVGA connector) either in addition
to or instead of the digital connector. Right now, the standard X does not
support the digital flatpanel extension, but a dropin binary only replacement
from Matrox claims to support it (I haven't had time to get it to work with my
G400). Also the 2.4 kernel matrox framebuffer code claims to support the
digital as well.

It is precisely because they are so big. Intel looks like one megacorporation
from the outside, but from the inside view they are a collection of many
divisions, some of them small. One division doesn't necessarily know what
another one is doing. So you cannot have some global Intel-wide Linux support
initiative. Every little project team basically has to decide whether and how
to go about it. However, what is Intel-wide is a general paranoia about
releasing information that comes down from the top. So if someone on the Easy
PC camera team wanted to release the information that would help people make a
driver, he or she would probably have to deal with quite a bit of bureaucracy.
Or maybe nobody on that team has thought of doing that. Or perhaps---you never
know---that team has Linux support already in their future product plan. Aside
from reverse engineering, the only way to get anywhere is to get in touch with
the people within Intel who developed that camera. There could be as few
as only 20-30 people behind that.

Of course, unless the Easy PC camera people read this newsgroup, they

you have to get the patch to the kernel in order to use the highpoint

You may have to plug your hard drive to ide0 during install until you have
the patch kernel compiled.

Subject: Gravis UltraSound problem.
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 04:31:43 +0100
Hello NG,
I cannot make my Gravis UltraSound card work with either Mandrake 7.2 or Red
Hat 7.0.. It's the same problem for both. After installing Linux, and I try
to play some sound, it says that it's not installed. I can't bring up the
Mixer either.
But then I run the 'SNDCONFIG' from the console, and it detects my GUS PnP
card fine, but i cannot hear the test sound properly. If I try to configure
it manually, it's the same. But If I choose 'yes' to that I heard the sound,
everything looks (looks!) fine. I'm restarting. The 'GUS' point appears in
all the things that appears during boot, and a nice 'tick' (or whatever..)
is heard from the speakers, so it should be fine..
But the sound does NOT work, properly.. I can bring up the mixer now. But if
I try to hear some sound, the sound sounds (three 'sound' words - sounds
confusing.. :-) all 'chukky' or 'stuttering'.. It sounds so annoying..
Can anybody help in some way? Does someone have experience with this? If you
people needs to see some log files, or whatever, please ask for them. I'm
new to Linux, so I'm not sure which ones to show you, or where they are
located.. Please help!!
Quick PC config, if that's relevant:
Asus K7M motherboard (rev 1.04)
AMD Athlon 500 (clocked to 700 - tried with both 500 and 700 MHz..)
18Gb Western Digital Expert HD
Matrox Millennium G400 Max DH (no problem)
Advanced Gravis UltraSound PnP
Tekram DC390F SCSI controller (no problem with this one)
100Mbit RealTek ethernet card (no problem)
Creative Labs DXR3 Mpeg Decoder (?? did not concentrate on this one yet ??)
Plextor 40x SCSI CD-ROM
Sony CDU920S CD-R
Please help
Sencerely,
Brian

go get the new version (4.0.2)
That's the only one that supports the Geforce 2 series.

Well I use a K6-2-500 with my Asus P5A motherboard and Linux rocks!
My CPU is not over-clocked though...
