Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 03:14:40 GMT
Hi,
I just installed a new video card (NVidia TNT2 Model 64 w/32MB of RAM) and
it work just fine. Maybe a little too good! All of my fonts are so small I
can't read a darn thing! When I run "Xconfigurator" I can change the
resolution (i.e. from 1600x1200 to 800x600) but nothing works. I even tried
640x480 with no luck. Can anyone tell me how to get bigger fonts? Thanks
for your help.

I just installed RH Linux on my system for the first time and now I need an
office suite. I have read about Applixware and StarOffice but have not
beeen able to find them. Can someone tell me where I can get them? Are
they free (i.e. like Linux) or do you have to pay for them? Thanks for your
help.

You didn't give the name of your sound cards so it is impossible to be very specific.
All the information you need is in the howto files.
If you have an ISA sound card you need /etc/isapnp.conf
do :
pnpdump >jnk
then edit the file jnk
when satisfied with the result either combine with /etc/isapnp.conf that you may
have or do :
cp jnk /etc/isapnp.conf
This is a portion of my /etc/modules.conf
Take what you need an uncomment what is necessary for you. This assumes that the liste
modules are present
on your system.
You reboot and you got sound.

#
# alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4236
# options snd-card-cs4236 snd_index=0 snd_port=0x530 snd_cport=0x538 snd_irq=5
snd_dma1=1 snd_dma2=0 snd_isapnp=0
#
# You MUST suppy all required snd_port, snd_irq and snd_dma parameter AND
# the snd_isapnp=0 option to the snd-card if the card is not shown by pnpdump,
# otherwise the ALSA driver will try to do PnP and will not find your card.
#
# This is an example of an post-install you may want use:
#
# post-install snd amixer set Master 100% unmute;amixer set PCM 100% unmute; amixer
set Aux,1 100% unmute
# (Aux,1 is the CDROM line-in in this ThinkPad 600E)
#
# For more info about the powerful amixer look into "man amixer".
#
# This will open your mixer channels in case you did not store a mixer setup
# for your card in /etc/asound.conf and you will have a default configuration.
# To test your new setup, do:
#
# depmod -a
# rcalsasound restart
#
# If the modules were loaded, you can check them with lsmod.
#
# Open and unmute the mixer channels, e.g. with alsamixer, gamix or your
# OSS mixer (alsamixer: unmute the Master and PCM channels with ",." and
# raise them with the up/down-arrow keys, man alsamixer explains all the keys)
#
# To play a sound sample run:
#
# aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/whistle.au
#
# For a list of supported soundcards look into
# /usr/share/doc/packages/alsa/cards.txt
# and browse the other files there and www.alsa-project.org

Next time, hold shift and then click on the URL to download, that way
netscape will realize you want to download the file and not just display it.

Hi all,
What is the command for finding out which package contains some lisp el
? For example, I'm trying to compile glibc and I keep getting
"checking for makeinfo... no
configure: error:
*** Some critical program is missing or too old.
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions. "
I suppose makeinfo.el is missing somewhere (or older than required). My
make package supposedly to meet the requirements according to the
INSATLL for compiling glibc so where and how should I look for the
missing package in above ?
TIA,
Chet

Yes, it will be an improvement when they are split.

Hi,
I have an HP 5000 LJ on an Intel print server. I want to give
a command like:
pr -e4 -f -w132 -l80 <some file> | lpr -<something>
and have lpr switch the LJ from 80x60 to 132x80, print
compressed print (17cpi?) and then return the printer to
default lpi and cpi. This is also a postscript printer and
I have "lp" configured as such in printtool. PS works great
for man pages, etc. but I want 132x80 for pr output (code
listings).
What is the cleanest way to do this?--Hack a filter for a new
printer name in printcap?
Thanks.

"makeinfo" is in the "texinfo" package.

Subject: RH7 vs. the PCI Hardware Internal Modem
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 00:19:42 -0400
So I have a new desktop for home, and I put Red Hat 7 on it. It
appears to be running fine, with one giant exception: I can't get it to
dial the Internet.
This has a 3Com USR hardware (not Winmodem) PCI modem on it, and at
first the system didn't want to see it. It seems that Linux won't
automagically see PCI modems until the 2.4 kernel, which isn't here yet.
This was solved by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 3 port 0xdfe0 autoconfig
(For reference, the IRQ and I/O data came from finding the modem in
/proc/pci)
I then had to create a symlink from /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0.
I can now go into the RH Dial-up Configuration program, autodetect the
modem, create ISP config data, and hit the debug button, which dials the
modem, connects, and verifies the username and password while sending
stdout to the screen. So far so good.
Now, I try to connect via the RH PPP dialer (wvdial?), and it says it
fails to initialize the modem and writes this to /var/log/messages:
Oct 18 21:48:51 cookie2 ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/ttyS0 at
115200
Oct 18 21:48:51 cookie2 pppd[3543]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Oct 18 21:48:51 cookie2 kernel: ppp: dev_alloc_name failed (-23)
Oct 18 21:48:51 cookie2 kernel: ppp_alloc failed
Oct 18 21:48:51 cookie2 pppd[3543]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Too many open files
in system(23)
This "too many open files" error means nothing to me. Any ideas?
TIA,

Lamar,
I've been using Applixware for years: check out
http://www.vistasource.com/
I like it. It is quite close the the way MSWord used to work on the
Mac.
Latest releases work nicely with Gnome.
I have tried both StarOffice and Corel WordPerfect for Linux and (IMHO,
and
without wanting to start a ladder of flames), I always go back to
Applixware
quite quickly. I find that it still has the best support for working
with
MS Word, PowerPoint, etc. which I exchange regularly with coworkers.
I have successfully been using Linux in a Windows dominated office
environment
for two years now, and Applixware has helped me do it.
Applixware is not cheap (current releases are far more expensive than
previous ones), but it is competitively priced with comparison to Corel
WordPerfect. I picked up my last copy at CompUSA, so it shouldn't be
hard
to find.
LinuxCentral provides drop-shipped shrink-wrap, if you're home-bound.

Subject: cdda2wav/cdrecord - problems with copying audio
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 00:42:07 -0400
Hey all..
I'm using RedHat 7 and gcombust. I've got both an IDE CD-R and
CD-ROM. I've recompiled the kernel to support ide-scsi emulation and
this seems to work (ie, the burner is detected fine with cdrecord
-scanbus). The IDE CD-ROM is still in regular block IDE mode (not
using scsi emulation) becuase I couldn't get it to read CD audio when
using the emulation. With this configuration I can create/copy data
CDs with no problem. Audio CDs are a problem, though. cdda2wav seems
to read the audio correctly (ie, I can see .WAV files in the temp
directory and the CD-ROM is reading constantly) but cdrecord won't
burn the files. I keep getting "Can't send CUESHEET" as part of the
cdrecord output... This is in Disc-At-Once (DAO) mode. Here's the
output for both cdda2wav and cdrecord. The CD-ROM is a generic 40x
IDE drive and the burner is a Matshita (Panasonic) CW-7582 IDE burner.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
