A very nice monitor indeed! I've got one on Linux right here, it works great, proper
drivers were just released. It works great as a widescreen monitor for DVD playback,
and it remains the brightest, best, sharpest, and most stylish monitor out there.
Having two full width side-by-side pages is wonderful!
You have three options for driving the monitor under Linux
==========================================================
Number Nine IV-FP driver support has just been ported to XFree version 4. But those
cards
are rare, and prices on eBay are rather high. Number Nine is now out of business, so
SGI
switched to production to 3DLabs.
The new 3DLabs Oxygen VX1-1600SW PCI video card works under Linux. This connects
directly to the
SGI flatpanel (via OpenLDI / LVDS digital). You need the commercial driver from:
http://www.xigraphics.com/Pages/HotNewsPage.html
The only major problem I have with the driver is a lack of backlight control.
If you have the SGI MultiLink adapter (which converts VGA / DVI / DFP to the 1600SW
flatpanel)
a number of VGA cards will work under Linux. You just need a modeline for the
XF86Config
file to output the right 1600x1024 pixel horizontal and vertical sync information.
Hopefully
more people will send proper modelines to the XF86 maintainers.

What did you use to do the low level format) I have (successfullyO done
a low level format of the subject drive using the format option of the
bios on a 1542CF. Use the dip switches on the 1540 to enable the bios,
boot, and you should be asked if you want to enter the adaptec setup.

Hi,
I've got a Geforce 2 MX graphics card. UNfortunately there are no
drivers available under Linux for this card. Does anybody know, how to
get the X-Server running anyway or where to find drivers for this card?
The latest drivers available from Nvidia do not yet support the Geforce

Subject: Working with two keyboards locally (Console)
From: Mario Lang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 15:22:45 GMT
Hello.
Does anyone know a way how I can get two keyboards working.
Each on a separate virutal console. E.g. my ps/2 one on the
current VC; and e.g. a USB one on tty4 (just an example).
I am running Emacspeak which is a speech output system for emacs.
As it produces speech, it is perfectly enough to have
it run on a console and talk through /dev/dsp.
If two keyboards, I could work with Emacspeak and another text console
without needing to switch consoles everytime I want
to give Emacspeak a new command.
Any ideas?

Subject: new scsi card: now cant boot from original drive on udma66 card
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 16:29:25 GMT
Hi there,
I've just installed a scsi card (Adaptec 29160) in a box that used to
boot from an IDE drive on a Promise Ultra66 PCI card. Now I get a kernel
panic. Is the scsi card somehow hiding it? The system boots win98. I am
using RH6.2 and I know I didn't install SCSI options when I installed RH.
Should I install the drivers before installing the hardware or is there
some other problem?
Thanks,
Andrew

More information would be useful. What output do you see from lspci? dmesg?
What is in /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf)? Which kernel are you running?
Which driver?

The problem may have to do with the ording of the
drives. If your root partition has changed (ie.
from /dev/hda2 to /dev/hdb2) then that could cause
the problem. You could use one of the old RedHat
boot/rook disk combos, to figure out where your
root partition is, and fix lilo.conf from there.

Has anyone tested any recent linux kernel (2.4 or 2.2 + ide patches)

I'm trying to decide whether to buy an ASUS A7V (KT133 + Promise ATA100
controller) now or wait for the A7V133 (KT133A w. FSB 200/266 and
ATA100 support). Alternatively, I might buy an ABIT KT7A now, but
I have more confidence in ASUS. This will be for a non-overclocked
server/development machine.

Try "startx 2>/var/log/xlog" and examine the outut to find out what
frequencies the x-server is trying to use, or if there are any other
hints to what is not working.
I had a similar problem with RH 6.2 and an ADi E75 screen, it turned out
the x-server was giving a frequency just outside of the allowable range
for this monitor. After editing the /etc/X11/XF86Config file I got it
working at the desired resolution. Unfortunately I don't remember the
details, and now I have upgraded to 7.0.

You must reserve 8MB off the top for the onboard video so:
append = "mem=184M"

Install Mandrake with the RAID controller in the machine and then boot into
Linux and add the Adaptec controller afterwards. This should allow you to
install Mandrake with ease and then get both cards working at the same time.
