Subject: libXmu.so & No configured graphic devices
Date: 19 Feb 1999 12:10:33 GMT
when I start "X", I get this message :
Fatal server error : No configured graphic devices
when I start "startx", I get this message :
xinit : can't load library 'libXmu.so.6'
the file should be OK, I guess :
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 19 08:14 libXmu.so.6 ->
libXmu.so.6.0*
I had som trouble with a file in the distr.set, so I replaced it and
installed again. I choose svga graphic. The missing file was x332fsrv.tgz
I installed this packages last time :xap1, xd1 og xv1
I got the packages from ftp.cdrom.com, and it is version 2.0.35 slackware.
What could be wrong? I'm a newbie, so I can't solve this by myselves. I
hate running Microsoft applications, so I hoped Linux could be an
alternativ solution.

Subject: PPP under 2.2.1
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 04:20:09 -0700
I recently downloaded and compiled the 2.2.1 kernel to my SuSE 5.3 system. I made
sure that PPP support was built into the kernel, but when running under it I get a
strange error in my syslog and the remote disconnects after just a few seconds. Does
anyone know if the is a commen problem, and if so has a work around been developed for
it.

The ne2k-pci driver will work, just type (as root): modprobe ne2k-pci;
ifconfig eth0 <ip>; route add default eth0, and you're set.

Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 06:19:53 -0600
I'll take a crack at this one... correct me if I'm wrong but (here goes)
I'm using RH5.2 also...
if the card PNP, plug-n-play, io and irq are selected dynamically each time
you boot
if it is also PCI, then /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts should contain
the current values -- guaranteed only for this session
anyway, you would define them your /etc/conf.modules with an options
statement, such as
assuming you have only one NIC:
options ne io=0x300 irq=9
alias eth0 ne
but once again, you should only do this if your card is not PNP -- UNLESS
your card is ISA PNP
in which case this is ok as long as you use isapnp to set the io and irq at
startup (which essentially defeats
the purpose of PNP)
this is done by using pnpdump to generate an /etc/isapnp.conf
uncomment the appropriate entries to define the io and irq for the isa pnp
cards that you want
RH5.2 automatically uses this file if it exists and invokes isapnp for
you...
whew!
I have two NICs. one is PCI PNP. the other *was* ISA PNP. But, I just ended
up disabling PNP on that card
and setting the io and irq with the vendors DOS driver and ensuring that the
irq is routed to "Legacy ISA" on my board with CMOS BIOS
I'll be more than happy to help you out (and try not to mislead you) if you
have any further questions...
but, I haven't been doing this for very long...
this is just the knowledge that I obtained over the past week!
I don't know how to determine io and irq of an ISA PNP card w/o using isapnp
to set it... anyone?
what's the command that I use?
I assume that with any PNP cards, you wouldn't have to set io and irq in
/etc/conf.modules because
the module should be able to determine these, right?
also, what if you have *two* ISA cards using the same driver -- one is PNP
the other isn't
what would the options look like if you only want to set the second cards io
and irq?
options ne io=,0x300 irq=,9
?
my /etc/shells listed /bin/ksh -- and sure enough, it's there and i'm using
it

Network addresses such as A.B.C.D are for human readability.
Computers can accept the numerical equivalent of this number --
which is:
A*256^3 + B*256^2 + C*256 + D
In the case above, 208.17.14.213 is the same address.
Hope this helps,

Hi there,
I know Win95/98 has support for Multilink PPP to 'channel bond' two
V90 modems to gain something like 10k/sec connection speeds. Can I use
two V90s in Linux to get 10k/sec connection speeds?
If so, can somebody be a nice chappy and guide me through this

Hallo,
ich m�chte meinen Linux-Rechner als Router konfigurieren.
Dazu haben die beiden Netzkarten bereits jeweils ihre IP-Nummer
erhalten.
Meine innere Karte hat : 192.168.1.1
