And configuring winmodem is even bigger one. **Will the driver for 810E in src.tar.gz format work on deb ? As far as modem is concerned (ESS PCI V.90 internal), its so near but so far. There is a driver available esscom.o, but it works only on 2.2.14 kernels, mine is 2.2.19, so got to download a patch tty.h, a utility called fixscript which prevents version incompatibilty messages. I followed following tip - For kernel 2.2.15 and later, apply tty.h patch recompile kernel and modules. -This I skippped. Unpack the package with: unzip package_name Change to the root user: su (enter root password when prompted) Create the device file: mknod /dev/esscom c 127 1 -Done Make convenience device: ln -s /dev/esscom /dev/modem -Error message directory /dev/modem already exists. ** why this error message is there ? ** Make convenience device: ln -s /dev/esscom /dev/ttyS15 -Again same error message Set device ownership: chgrp uucp /dev/esscom -Done Set device permissions: chmod 666 /dev/esscom -Error Masquerade module version (See "Tips And Tricks...," above): ./fixscript essmodem.o essmodem.fix.o Install module file: cp essmodem.fix.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/essmodem.o -Skipped this one. Insert module in kernel: insmod -f essmodem -did insmod esscom.o failed (Optional) Provide for automatic module loading: add a line "alias char-major-127 essmodem" to the file /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules *any suggestions ? thanks........ -Sachin where is the log of startx, xserverr config located ? couldnot find it in /var/log. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
