Now it seems to be one of the easiest chipsets (DRI, sound... all works).

Subject: OSS Vortex 2 module
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 11:17:12 -0000

I decided to try the OSS beta driver for the Aureal Vortex 2 soundcard last
night. It produces sound, but in a really really strange way. Everything is
slowed down, it runs at about 1/4 speed. It says in the docs that this is a
recognised problem but that it should be intermittent and doing a soundoff,
soundon should fix it. In short, it doesn't.

I tried the sourceforge drivers for this device and they were worse. While
they produce sound at the correct speed, they also crash my machine after a
few seconds of listening to music, immediately if I try to run anything
else. The OSS drivers appear to be stable (apart from the weird sound
thing). Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I'm going to start
hunting down possible hardware conflicts tonight, but I don't think it'll do
any good.

Thanks

Adam

You can use any editor to edit config files, my personal favorite for small 
changes is pico, which is included in the pine package. Other alternatives 
are joe, vi, emacs and many more. 

pico -w /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 will get you started. make needs a makefile 
to work - often you will need to run a script called "configure" when 
trying to build packages from source. This will check dependencies and 
create your makefiles. Make sure the packages containing the make toolr are 
installed, I am not sure, but I think the packages are called autoconf and 
make (or automake?) on RedHat Systems. I'm sure you can figure this out by 
browsing the RedHat/RPMS directory on the install disks.

Subject: How do I get CDRW and CDROM to function???
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 12:21:08 +0000

 I installed MDK8.0 beta but my cdrw and cdrom are not accessible - unknown 
device is the error message I get.
In KDE if I look at hardware setup it says the cd drives are 
"user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro"
If I go to a console and type 
ls -l /dev/cdrom it says scd0
and ls -l /dev/cdrom1 produces dev/hdd
Trying to mount one of the drives produces a message:
"can't find /devscd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"


What can I change to allow access?

The line in fstab should be:
/dev/scd0  /mnt/cdrom  iso9660  user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro  0 0

I guess that your fstab says "/devscd0" instead of "/dev/scd0".

etc/fstab has this:

Subject: Installation of a SuSE 7.1 on a Dell Inspiron 8000
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 14:27:59 +0100

Dear all,
Below you will find a description of the first steps of an installation of
the SuSE 7.1 on a i8k.
I want to resume the installation but face two problems.
(1) I now have to configure the network. For this I need to tell the system
that I am using a 3Com Ethernet adapter 10/100 PCMCIA (external) (fe575c,
model 3ccfe575ct or 3cxfe575ct). Which module shall I choose? 3c509, .?
(2) I also want to use a 3Com internal winmodem (delivered with the standard
i8k: mini PCI adapter, model 3cn3bm1556b). Is there a corresponding linmodem
available?
Any tips? Thank you in anticipation.
---Philippe

Description of the installation so far.

My configuration is:

� Intel 700MHz Pentium III
� ATI Mobility M4 AGP Graphics
� 14.1 TFT 1400x1050 screen
� 128M RAM
� 32G Hard Drive
� CDRW
� Floppy
� 3Com Ethernet adapter 10/100 PCMCIA (external)
� Win98 FAT32 LBA file system (12G of the Hard Drive, installed)
� SuSE 7.1 Professional (remaining partition, to be installed)

I start the installation of SuSE 7.1 with the boot floppy disk.
When asked to insert the modules floppy disk because of "found PCMCIA
chipset i82365, please insert the modules disk", cancel otherwise the system
will hang.

Just follow the installation using Yast2.
I choose to load the default configuration (without star office), but add
the development package (this include the sources of the kernel).
X starts fine with the defaults. No problem with sound.

Reboot the system with pcmcia disable (enter "linux NOPCMCIA=yes" at the
lilo prompt).

Download from sourceforge.net the package pcmcia-cs-3.1.24.tar (e.g. into
/usr/src) and run "make config" (You must have run "make config" in the
directory /usr/src/linux first), "make all", and after having deleted the
pcmcia directory from /lib/modules, "make install"

Reboot the system. Cardmagr will run without hanging.

Is the audio group given any permission to read/write to these?
I imagine that if you chmod a+rw /dev/dsp0, etc could fix this problem.
It did with me.

Subject: Lucent Orinoco wavelan with 2.4 kernel
Date: 09 Mar 2001 14:54:52 +0100

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the drivers for the Lucent Orinoco wavelan card
(it's part of th pcmcia_cs package) with the 2.4.2 kernel, but I'm
having some trouble. The driver itself is an adiditional client added
to pcmcia_cs before compiling. 
This works fine in the 2.2 series klernel, but not in 2.4. When I try
to compile the pcmcia package, all the incuded drivers compile fine,
but wavelan2_cs fails miserably with dozens of errormessages on
missing symbols etc.

Has anyone gotten this to work (with kernel 2.4.x)?

thanks

Hans-Christian

Too me that sounds like a bad design, a program
runing in user space should not have access to
that information without the kernels knowledge.

/dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom2 should be symlinks to /dev/scd0 and /dev/hdd
respectively. I'd guess that they're not at the moment. To fix this you'll
have to go to /dev and type:

ln -s scd0 cdrom
ln -s hdd cdrom2

If it gives you the error "file exists" then just remove the offending file
(you are about to recreate it anyway).

That should fix all problems.

Subject: RedHat and flatbed scanner problem
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2001 16:45:54 +0200

Hi everybody,

I'm using RedHat 7.0, and i need your help with my scanner.
My scanner is Acer Brisa 620s, it working just fine in WindowsME but
in Linux i can't get it work.

Linux find SCSI card and FlatBed Scanner but that's it.
If i run XSane (or XScanImage) scanners led start to blink and program quits.
In XSane it's all the same which one device I choose, [snapscan:/dev/sga]
or [snapscan:/dev/scanner], same result.

Now I have to keep WindowsME in my computer because I need scanner,
it would be great if I could leave it off.

I'm pretty new with Linux so if you could help me solve this problem you do
me a BIG favor. Thanks already.

Here's some messages i get: (i hope these help to find out whats wrong)

When i enter 'scanimage -T' I get this message:

Floating point exception (core dumped)

make sure that the symbolic link /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 is correct,
eg

 invert/tmp> ls -l /dev/cdrom
 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            3 Jul 11  2000 /dev/cdrom -> hdb

(I have a cheap crdom!)

If not then try (as root)

  rm /dev/cdrom
  ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

Good luck!
