Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 16:37:12 GMT
Hi,
I have three years old video capturing board (e.g. Qmotion 200 PCI)
chips are:
Philips SAA 7110 WP
316170 dfd9444v1x 94'
Philips SAA 7187 WP
k5l785 hfd9540v0y 94'
Altera EPM 7032lc44-15t
bd9525
AMCC PCI MATCHMAKER
PARADIGM PDM41256SA15S0
ZORAN
ZR36055PQC29.5
and
ZR36050PQC
Could someone help me to find drivers for this card under linux. I
checked the linux4video web page, but I am not sure that
any of the drivers will work for me. Looks that someone has drivers for
ZORAN chip, but is this is all I need.
I am not shy to start writing a driver for this card, but I need some
pointers and help.
Thanks much

As has been pointed out by others, you can use the ntsysv command to
turn on that service for the current run level. If you wish to turn on
smb for multiple levels I would use chkconfig
chkconfig --level 35 smb on
Should turn on smb. Then I would check the following as they have
changed from previous versions of Samba.
1) The configuration files in /etc/smb
2) Errors that might be outputed to /var/log/boot.msg and
/var/log/messages on what could be happening if smb is erroring out
on startup.

I'm still using Red Hat 5.2 and just trying to play sound after
'sndconfig' hearing Linus voice.
I downloaded and installed Real Player 'rvplayer-5.0-3' trying it at CNN
but only downloaded 'live4.rm28.ram' saving to hard disk. I went to the
Netscape Preferences | Navigator | Applications seeing RealPlayer is
only set to "Unknown: Prompt user" so I clicked as "Application" and to
be Handled By "/usr/bin/rvplayer" but still automatically loading to the
'live4.rm28.ram' at all. I also tried 'revplayer %h %p' but still did
nothing. How can I configure revplayer to automatically load *.ram
sites?
Also the XPlayCD don't work at all but only played CD after 'cdp' in the
command line.

Hi,
I bought redhat 5.2 (boxed set) Recently.
And I don't seem to have gotten a Pop3 or Imap daemon on the cd.
Was I supposed to get these Daemons?.
Where can I get them?.
I got some windows clients that can send mail to the linux box but
cannot retrieve any unless they telnet in and use pine or whatever.
Please Help
Thanks in advance..

Please mail me with the fix.

I assume Eterm is like xterm, or nxterm.
gvim creates it's own separate X window.
Try installing:
vim-minimal-5.3-3
vim-color-5.3-3
vim-enhanced-5.3-3
vim-common-5.3-3
Then running vim (not gvim) from within eterm.
This should give you vim with syntax hiliting
from within a terminal window...

Of course, now that you pointed that out to me, it makes sense. I'll
remove the compression. My hard disk is actually big enough to hold
DragonLinux plus some extra data (it's 100MB).

Reply-To: LEE
Hello!
THIS MAY BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LETTER YOU RECEIVE THIS YEAR!!
Please follow the instructions of this letter very carefully,
immediately
print and READ TWICE.
I know that a lot of people wish they could stay at home
and make thousands of dollars. Well...here is the program
to do just that! You may have seen the feature story
about this program on a major network TV show several
months ago. The network TV show determined that the
program explained below is a service and is 100% legal.
Take a few minutes to read over all of the information
enclosed, MAKE A COPY, then read it again. You won't be
sorry! Good Luck!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Like a lot of people, I was looking for additional income
by replying to various advertisements on the Internet and
in newspapers. Having worked most of my adult life in the
financial profession, I was very impressed by the following
proposal:
A few weeks ago I received a letter from a fellow
attorney that said:"I am a retired attorney and about two
years ago a man came to me with a letter." The letter he
brought to me is the same letter you have before you now.
He asked me to review its contents to determine if the
letter was legal. I told him I would look it over and get
back to him with my opinion.
When I first read the letter I thought it was an "off the
wall" idea to make money. A week later, I met with my
client to discuss the issue. I told him the letter as
originally given to me was not 100% legal. Naturally, I
was curious about the letter, so he told me how it
worked. After hearing the explanation, I decided it was a
"long shot", so I decided against participating. However,
before my client left my office, I asked him to keep me
updated as to his results.
About two months later, he called to tell me that he had
received more than $800,000 in cash!! Well, I didn't
believe him, of course, so he asked me to try the plan
and see for myself. I thought about it for a few days and
decided that there was not much to lose. I followed the
instructions exactly and mailed out 200 letters. Sure
enough...the money started coming in! It came slowly at
first, but after three weeks, I was getting more mail
than I could open in a day. After about 13 weeks, the
money stopped coming.
I kept a precise record of my earnings and at the end it
totaled $868,439.00! I earn a good living as an
attorney, but as anyone in the legal profession will tell
you, there's a lot of stress that comes with the
territory. I decided if things worked out, I would retire
from my practice and play golf. This time I sent out 500
letters. Well...a little more than three months later, I
totaled $2,344,178.00!!
I met my old client for lunch to find out exactly how it
works. He told me that there were a few similar letters
going around. What made this one different is the fact
that there are seven names on the letter...not five like
the others. That factor alone resulted in more returns.
The other factor was the advice I gave him in making
certain the whole thing was perfectly legal, since no one
wants to risk doing anything illegal. I know you must be
curious about the little changes I advised him to make
for the letter to be legal. Well, when sending out a
letter like this one, to be legal, you must sell
something if you expect to receive something in return.
So, when you send a dollar to each of the seven names on
the list, you MUST include a slip of paper saying:
"PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST" and include YOUR
NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, AND E-MAIL ADDRESS. This is the
key to the program. The item you will receive is THIS
LETTER and the right to earn thousands. Follow the simple
instructions EXACTLY, and in about three months, you
should receive MORE THAN $800,000 IN COLD, HARD CASH!!!
1) IMMEDIATELY send $1.00 to each of the seven names
listed below. The SOONER you send the "$1.00 LETTERS",
the SOONER you will start getting a return! Wrap the
dollar in a note saying: "Please add me to your mailing
list". Include YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, AND E-MAIL
ADDRESS. You will receive expert tips on promoting this
letter and some excellent BULK EMAIL resources.
*Remember...If you don't ask for this service, use of
this letter will be illegal for you!

6. K.Jason, 6171 Bassett Rd Richmond BC Canada V7C 2Y3
7. L.Ken. Box 26509 Blundell Center Postal Outlet Richmond BC Canada V7C 5M9
2) REMOVE THE NAME & ADDRESS NEXT TO #1. at the top of
the list and MOVE the other names(#2 thru #7) UP ONE
POSITION. Then place YOUR NAME & ADDRESS in the #7 spot.
Be careful when you type the addresses. It is suggested
that you PROOFREAD to MAKE CERTAIN the names and
addresses are correct.
3) When you have completed the above instructions, you
may market the letter using the following options:
1. Bulk email
2. U.S. Postal Service
3. Flyers
4. Post FREE Classified Ads on the Internet
5. Newsgroups
This letter has been proven perfectly legal for all of
the above means, as long as you follow the instructions;
because you are purchasing membership in an exclusive
mailing list. To mail this letter out over the Internet,
you can browse through ours and find people to send it
to. All you have to do is cut and paste e-mail addresses
wherever you are on the Internet.
Another method of marketing the letter is using a Bulk
E-Mail Service to mail out letters in large volume for
you. We suggest using the Bulk E-Mail approach.
When you mail your $1 letters you will receive a
few recommendations for bulk email companies that
will supply you with fresh email addresses.
Posting FREE CLASSIFIED ADS on the Internet can also
achieve results. Simply go to a search engine(e.g. Yahoo,
Hot Bot, Lycos, Excite, Infoseek, etc. and type in FREE
CLASSIFIED ADS. You'll get a list of over 80,000 sites
where you can post ads. Remember to use a catchy title
like FREE MONEY, and post your e-mail address. When you
get an inquiry, simply e-mail a copy of this letter. The
more you send, the more you will make. It's a lot of
work...so that's why we recommend using a Bulk E-mail
Service.
We strongly encourage you to mail this letter to your
family and friends. They'll be grateful!!
THIS IS A SERVICE AND IS 100% LEGAL. You may refer to:
Title 18, Section 1302 & 1342 of the U.S. Postal &
Lottery Statute; or check it out with the U.S. Postal
Service if you have questions.
Let's assume, for example, you get a 7.5% return rate. My
first attempt, however, was 9.5%, and my second was more
than 11%.
1) When you send out 200 letters, 15 people send you
$1.00 ($15.00)
2) Those 15 people mail out 200 letters and 225
people send you $1.00 ($225.00)
3) Those 225 people mail out 200 letters and 3,375
people send you $1.00 ($3,375.00)
4) Those 3,375 people mail out 200 letters, and
50,625 people send you $1.00($50,625.00)
5) Those 50,625 people mail out 200 letters, and
759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00)
6) At this level, your name drops off the list.
Think about it. Look at what you will have received
before your name drops off the list. It looks
unbelievable, I know. Do the math...see for yourself!
Just DO IT and you'll happily believe because you'll
receive proof in the form of MANY ONE-DOLLAR BILLS!!!
Just make certain that you send a dollar to each of the
seven names on the list; including the note asking to be
added to their mailing list. Together we will all
prosper!
Well...you've read this far, so let me ask you a
question:
Q: What do you have to lose?
A: Only $7.00
Don't throw this letter away. Keep it...think about
it...and after awhile...YOU WILL TRY IT!
I looked at it for over two months, and then I said:
"It's only $7...I have to be nuts not to do it".

I bet you have a .forward file installed. Try renaming it to something
else and then let procmail do its stuff. I could not get redhat 6 to work
with a .forward file no matter what format I tried. I removed it and
procmail began working normally. I call a root .fetchmailrc to get email
from two separate pop accounts and in one I use procmail. All works quite
well now.

It's not always a security risk. I've got two computers in my house on

I have just installed suse 6.1 and am impressed with the stability of the
system. I am completely new to Linux and am improving slowly but I cannot
get the internet to work.
My dial up works fine and stays connected but when I start Netscape it just
times out.
The same happens when I dock the notebook at work, the network printer and
the other computers are not available and neither is the internet.
I think at work the problem maybe win95 as I have to use netbeui for it to
work TCP/IP alone won't, even with the 95 computers.
If you feel like posting a solution make it basic and step by step, as I
said I am new at this.

When you stop minicom, you are starting up pppd by yourself, aren't
you?
Back when I was playing around, I used to log in to my shell account
and start up SLiRP (a ppp emulator), then suspend minicom( control-A,J I
think), then type on the command line
pppd </dev/modem >/dev/modem
But that was long ago, and I think they are hiding pppd somewhere
off the path these days.
You might be happier with the 'dip' command. Start with the script
in the man page for it. Edit it for your login, then you can run
it with
dip -v script.dip
And you can watch it execute.
You are using it with a kernel that has ppp support, aren't you?
perhaps you might need to load ppp support as a module, by add
a line with 'ppp' to your /etc/modules file.

Gero,
Thanks very much. The registration number was right where you said it
would be. Now I don't have to register all over again.

AFAIK, this is normal because sendmail is the MTA and procmail is acting as the
LDA (local delivery agent).

emacs is a a text editor the way a sherman tank is a convertible. it's
actually a lisp engine with a text editorish interface. that's how it can
support many non-text-editor features, such as mail, news, web, ftp, etc
etc...

No doubt, the commandline is faster. But it's kinda cool to see CPU
usage and all the other little doodads that come with tkseti. But then
again, I'm unemployed and have nothing better to do than look at pretty
pictures.
