I've got 2.0.35, and I've managed to get all the sound
working correctly(or so I believe), except for using the
AWE's Midi, for which I need certain files from the AWE32
util's page(SFXload and DRVMIDI). There's a binary for
SFXLOAD that works for me, but not DRVMIDI so I have to make
my own I suppose....that's the current stumbling block as it
seems I need a program caled xmkmf. Anyone know where I can
get it?

By "system properties" I assume that you are refering to Windows?
ATAPI and IDE mean the same thing, so the issue is whether you
have an internal SCSI or ATAPI drive. Did the system properties
indicate if you have a SCSI adapter. If not, then by process of
elimination it must be ATAPI.
By the way, either interface should work with Linux without any
problems.

Did you check the motherboard jumper to enable the onboard sound?
Also there usually is a bios setting to turn sound on.
By the way , I have a similar motherboard and I couldn't get it to

Alot depends on what kernel you are using.
For the 2.036 kernel, you apply the awe patch,
compile sound as module with low-level drivers,
make sure you have a good
isapnp.conf, and do an insmod sound as root.
For the 2.2.* series kernel, you install OSSFree
drivers as module, select awe and low-level drivers,
then put the flowing entry in conf.modules
======================================================
conf.modules entry:
========================================================
alias char-major-14 sound
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
Then you can start sound with soundon, or
modprobe sb
insmod awe_wave
Also with the 2.2.* kernels the irqs for /dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1
are switched. So make sure you don't have an irq conflict with
the soundcard.

I have no problem with buffering but consider apps to be boneheaded if
they insist on large fixed-size buffers. 35meg codesize is ridiculous
for what it sounds like it offers, but it sounds like some of the
35meg is large fixed-size buffers. Still ridiculous for the level of
function we're talking about as I see it. For this level of function
I'd expect maybe 2-4meg codesize and buffering based on available
memory. There must be a shitload of unused support code buried in it
that's waiting for somebody to write apps that use it.

Probably seen as an improvement, I wouldn't know without trying them.
I'm still trying to find the time to spend a weekend with emacs, until
then I use Midnight Commander's built-in editor which is the most

Let's not get too carried away here.
EGCS was created to be an "experimental" branch that could develop and
try things out while gcc remained a stable release. glibc releases
should match gcc releases. Maybe they ought to have created an EGLS
(experimental GNU library system) to go with it?
I don't see anything petty and stupid about keeping a compiler (that
has been promised to be stable) usable...if it can't compile "blessed"
library releases it's much less usable.

There are a series of registers in the Intel Pentium CPU addressed from
F0 0F ?? ?? that will immediately halt the CPU if you address them.
This was a big issue early last year when it was discovered and prompted
some very hurried work to get fixes out for Linux and *BSD systems. An
initial patch for Linux was available within 5 days of the bug being
discovered and a day after that a fix was available for *BSD systems. The
*BSD fix was slightly better.
Intel had gotten involved by this stage and helped to rewrite the fixes
properly which took about another week.
The fix involves turning off access to L2 cache under some circumstances
IIRC so it does have a small performance impact.
This bug is potentially quite serious although not to anyone running a
recent Linux or *BSD kernel - ie for Windows users as a web site would be
set up to cause your system to simply hang. You get no warning or message
log.

Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 14:59:59 GMT
Hello,
I have a Suse 6.0 linux-system and a UPS APC 1400. I installed the apcupsd
3.5.2.
When power on the UPS fails the linux-system goes down (and remains to
halted). If power is restored before batteries are empty, the linux-system
remains halted (but it should then reboot!). If power is not restored, the
linux-system (in halted-mode) and the UPS ramains up, until batteries are
empty. When then power is restored the UPS is in a "stand-by"-mode and the
linux-system does't get power.
Has anyone had any success in setting up apcupsd correctly?
Thanks,
Klaus

Well, your card is not exactly the same as mine, but I did indeed receive
help from Mirage to set up my XF86Config file. They were, in fact, very
helpful.
Now, on the other hand, these XConfig-generating programs have _never_ been
much help to me. They suffer from information overload, they try to give
you options to run at several different resolutions. But, when you simply
use the output of those scripts, you are unaware which of the many options
the server will actually use. In addition, often they don't get all the
resolutions right, anyway.
My advice would be to start with someone's working XF86Config file and
tweak it to your needs. Now, you have to know what you are doing. Be sure
not to send the monitor timings or refresh rates it can't handle. You seem
to know the frequency of the monitor, which is good. Certainly Mirage sent
you some sample XF86Config files suitable to such a monitor. Try one of
them.
If you enter into the V and H refresh rates the tolerances of your monitor,
X should not try to send it something beyond those ranges. It may just
refuse to start, forcing you to figure out what is wrong with your timings.
For comparison, here are the relevant portions of my /etc/X11/XF86Config
file, for my old IBM rs6000 monitor (actually it's a Sony).
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "64KHZ Monitor"
VendorName "Hitachi"
ModelName "HM4319-D"
HorizSync 60-66

Modeline "1280x1024" 110 1280 1380 1572 1708 1024 1043 1046 1100 -hsync -vsync
Section "Device"

Driver "svga"

EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubsection
Now, DO NOT, I repeat, DO�NOT just use these settings. Your monitor has a
different frequency than mine. I suggest these only as a guide. If you
use these directly, you will damage your monitor.
Really, though, I got this (within fine-tuning using xvidtune) from Mirage.
Contact them.

Having said that, demanding usage of C is stupid, so this is a stupid

AFAIK this is not an error, merely a way the OS gets around a bug in the
actual Intel CPU chip that has to do with dealing with F0 0F somewhere,
it's a fairly well known fault in the chip design that probably doesn't
effect CPU performance that much (other than the occasional - and rare -
crash). I get that message too, and it just means that Linux recognises
this error in the chip and makes sure it doesn't get used in that way.

Hi Greg,
Chances are if your Zip drive is an internal model its an IDE.You can check
this in windows device manager. It'll be listed with the drive controllers
along with your hard drive(s) & cd-rom drive (if its an IDE). The IDE devices
all have iocns that look like HD's, SCSI devices are signified by a diamond
shaped icon. If your still not sure you can power down your machine, pop the
lid off and look to see where the drive is plugged into the main board.

Subject: /dev/sndstat: operation not supported by device
Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 16:04:20 GMT
I have fairly recently installed Redhat 5.2, and I'm up to
kernel 2.2.1. I have an Ensoniq AudiPCI 1370, which
seems to work fine. But, I can't get "cat /dev/sndstat"
to work. I get the following message:
cat: /dev/sndstat: Operation not supported by device
I'm at a loss. And the thing is, I have an app which needs
this function (Multitrack 2.2).
Help is appreciated!

Subject: Apache and Servlets, which OS'd be better, Linux or FreeBSD?
Date: Tue, 09 Mar 1999 17:13:07 +0100
Hi,
I'm planning to run Apache Web Server on a Linux box, either Free BSD or
Linux Red Hat 5.2. Since I'm mainly interested in Java and Servlets
support, which OS would be better (support, performance, stability)?
I've heard the JDK 1.2 is coming up on Linux (by blackdown) and no word
about it on Free BSD. But it seems Free BSD can run Linux binaries,
would it run the JVM too?
And what about Apache/JServ, does it scale?
TIA, Igor

You need to compile the kernel with UFS write support - it's still
experimental, tho.

A script also has be set executable using the chmod command or execute the script
using the sh command.
