Yes, quite right. Here's another machine on which I'm running the new
driver (kernel 2.4.3):

So, moral, try a few different drivers, upgrade, downgrade, talk to the
author. See how you get on. There's plenty of choice, and I don't have
any problems with any of the ones I made!

With an NVidea Geforce 2MX card installed in my Duron 700 system (FIC
motherboard) I have tried Mandrake 7.1 and cannot get X to work at all. The
installation freezes after the X configuration. I can load up to a command
line but cannot get x to work at all - even with the VGA driver. WIll 7.2
be better? Is there any way to get the grapical interface working? DO I
need to download the drivers from NVidea - which I can only do in Windows at
present?
Any help

Thanks for the mounting help, BTW.
But if I may waste some bandwidth and ask what you meant by that last
suggestion?
(I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically as it may sound.)
I thought it was common practice to cross-post to different groups (so
long as the topic is related and not spam.)
I know oftentimes a question of mine may get completely ignored in one
group but answered well in another. I thought so long as you post to the
few selected groups at once and individually then a reply will go out to
the thread located on each group.
But, I could be wrong. =) Is there a more approved convention?
Sorry if I made a faux pas.
Thanks!

Subject: Montego and sndconfig problems with 'make'
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 08:55:21 -0500
I have a Turtle Beach Montego II sound card (yeah yeah I know.)
And I found drivers for Aureal Vortex 2 which is supposed to support the
Montego II.
When I untar'ed them, I get an asp10.o and an asp30.o.
The instructions say to 'make install', but when I do that all I get is
an error:
***No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
I've read elsewhere that people have used 'make rebuild' or 'make
rebuild10' but I get the same thing.
Any ideas about that? I have every development package installed that my
RedHat 6.2 came with.
On a side note, when it comes to configuring the settings, under Windows
my card has one set of IRQ and DMA etc, but it also has a SoundBlaster
Emulation in devices with a different set of IRQ and DMA. What's up with
that? Which should I use when it comes time to tell Linux?
Thanks!!!

Subject: Problems CD writing with NEC 465
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 14:14:01 -0000
I'm having problems trying to burn my first CD with a NEC 465 drive.
I can't find any information about this drive from NEC, but I found it
listed on a few (but not many) lists of CD-R drives. Yet, the drive
itself doesn't have any lights or other attributes that makes me think
it's a CD-R. My main suggestion that it is comes from these lines in
my dmesg:
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
(scsi1:0:5:0) Synchronous at 20.0 Mbyte/sec, offset 15.
Vendor: NEC Model: CD-ROM DRIVE:465 Rev: 1.03

Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 14x/32x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
This seems to say that the NEC 465 is an mmc-compliant CD-RW.
Yet, when I try to write to it, I get:

I compiled cdrecord 1.11a01 using the version of make included with
the SuSE 7.1 distribution, which is on this host, instead of smake.
Any ideas if I have a CD-RW, and if so, what I need to do to get
it to work?
Thanks for all your time and thought helping me with this problem.

Running AIC-7899:
kernel 2.2.xx + 5.xx driver-> crash with "unrecoverable BRKADRINT"
kernel 2.4.xx + 5.xx driver-> crash with "unrecoverable BRKADRINT"
kernel 2.2.xx + 6.xx driver-> trying to compile now between crashes.
kernel 2.4.xx + 6.xx driver-> crash with "Attempting to queue an ABORT
message"
Cruising numerous bugzilla sites indicates there is a deeper problem with
the drivers than you suggest. Besides, I get the same behavior from fresh
kernel trees, so this isn't a Mandrake problem, it is a aic7xxx/kernel
problem.
I am wondering if a BIOS upgrade/downgrade might help. Does anyone know
where adaptec keeps their bios upgrades for embedded solutions? The site
tells me to contact tech support, bastards!

I'd ask the @Home newsgroups, unfortunately you have to be connected to
@Home to access their newsgroups, and the following problem is
preventing me from doing so. =P
I can get connected to the @Home service, and can even ping out and
resolve addresses, etc, but my x-fer rate is no more than about 2kbps!
And stalls out constantly.
There's a GREAT reference page at
http://members.home.net/randal.leavitt/CableModemConnectionNotes.html
which I followed, but it doesn't help.
No change in performance from when all I had was a host name a default
gateway to when I put in all the rest of the info.
Can anyone who has a good connection using cable modem give me some
pointers?
Like for Host, go ahead and use the full c123456-a.xxxx.mo.home.com or
just use c123456-a, use DHCP or BOOTP, etc.
There are some odd discrepancies too. My IPCOFIG /ALL under WIndows
(before Windows crashed) gave me my default gateway etc...and it ends in
a .1. But the network settings has my domain set as ending in .0 and no
way to change it.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any pointers from anyone regarding this.
Thanks!!!

Yes,
I think there are some problems with the aic7xxx driver in RedHat
7.1.
I have a BP6 dual Celeron@550MHz, 256MB ram, Diamond Viper TNT2, and
Adaptec
"aic785: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs" and I have this
strange
problem:
I configured and compiled the 2.4.4 kernel under RedHat 7.1, when
booting,
kudzu exits with an oops, and X won't start at all (??).
If I switch to another vt (Alt-F6) and change to runlevel 3 (init 3) I
find out that anything related to the Adaptec will result in an oops.
"cat /proc/bus/pci/devices" results in the following (that has been
processed
with ksymoops:

The strangest part is that if I just copy the kernel, System.map, and

We have had a lot of luck installing Linux on Dell laptops, mainly
Inspirons but also on some Latitudes. We have also found that
we can use fips to resize the Windows partition for dual boot
machines. (But one must follow instructions and disable virtual
memory in windows before defragmenting and running fips.)

ALL modems that are not WinModems and can be controlled with these
AT-command should work under Linux. SO when you're buying a new modem, you
can probably take the cheapest thing you can find, as long as you make sure
that it's not a WinModem.

Have you tried running the contrast adjust under wine?
