We are a touch screen controller manufacturer and have been asked for a
Linux driver. Where do we find information about writing pointing device
drivers for Linux? More specifically, absolute position pointing devices.
Thank you for your help.

Subject: RH5.2 is driving me nuts!
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 14:54:11 -0800
Hi,
Let me just say I'm starting to hate Red Hat, and to anyone out there giving
advice to others, if you are giving advice to someone using Red Hat, don't
get too upset if they "don't get it" really fast. There's a good reason.
I bought a book "The Linux Network" and setup the included Slackware
distribution over the weekend. It took me 2 days to get it connected to the
Internet, my intranet, setup dial in, Samba the whole works. This is from
scratch. (The book is highly recommend by the way ... it's good for
beginners and intermediate users)
Anyway, then I try to setup networking on a Red Hat machine... it has taken
me the WHOLE friggin week, just to figure out what they decided to rename
the networking files and how they split them up etc. etc. etc. Nothing is
where it's supposed to be, and many times it's not even given the same name.
Now they're not just being mean, there is a logic to the way they do it,
it's just not explained clearly anywhere!!! The "generic" instructions I
looked up in books, man pages, web sites, and newsgroups did not match up
50% of the time!
Two examples
1. Just try finding the lines from rc.inet1 and rc.inet2 in RH 5.2
(rc.inet1&2 do not exist in RH5.2 by the way)
2. Try installing the source code from the CDROM to re-compile the kernel
... they don't tell you it doesn't go in the normal directories that every
other piece of documentation on the Internet refers to. You have to intuit
it for yourself. (Realize too, if you are enabling networking from scratch,
you can't just "download" the latest source from the Internet, since
networking isn't enable yet. Plus in order to enable networking you need to
re-compile, but you can't re-compile because RH5.2 doesn't come with the
source installed ... and then they don't put it in the normal directories
... it becomes quite a catch-22)
Anyway, am I just nuts or what?

Richard,
I am similary equipped except for the cable modem connection. I also wish to
setup a ppp server at our church so that members and others could visit out
private web site without going through an ISP. Unfortunately, the effort has
not been successful as yet. I have also tried OS/2 v4 and Win98. I must be
missing something critical, all that I have been able to do is connect but
without access permission. I will contact you when success is finally achieved.
Would appreciate a word from you when you get yours working.

You should probably recompile brcfg using the br.h from the 2.2.x kernel
sources.
Until I did this the output looked similarly weird.
Now it looks sensible but I still do not seem to be getting bridging. My best
guess is that maybe I need to force a topology change as I split the net (this
network has users on it so I can't just wait). Do I need to do this? If so
how?
Can anyone tell me why brgcfg insists on calling the NICs 1,2,3.. rather than
eth0,eth1...

Subject: NT Domain behind Masq
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 23:12:35 GMT
I have a situation where I want (at least one) Windows box to contact an
NT Domain on the outside of a masq'ed machine. I set up Samba to be a
wins proxy on the masq box, told it to use the domain for security, set
the WINS address of this NT box to the linux box, yet only some things
work. I can map drives, do net view's to outside machines, even the
PDC. But it doesn't want to do things like add the machine to the
domain, or change passwords. I take it that there's some other work to
masquerade the connection, NetBios/TCP probably includes my IP inside
some of the packets. So, is there a nmbd proxy or something? Surely
someone else has tried to do this...
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks

Ok, I guess I will have to tone down my earlier enthusiasm a little bit.
After playing around a little bit, I discovered that windows will not accept
a connection from linux, even though I can ping it just fine. I know this
should be simple, but again I need just a little bit of assistance, even
point me to a HOWTO or a man page. Thanks a lot

There are a *lot* of X servers for 32-bit Windows, I found a page with
links to many of them when I was searching for a good one.
Unfortunately I've not bookmarked it.
I've tried quite a number, of those I can remember the following:-
XDeep/32 - OK, $49 so very cheap, but wouldn't work with my
3-button mouse so not so good for me.
XWin-32 - This is what I use now, not *too* expensive and
everything works for me under NT4.
MI/X - Free but limited
Many others I tried disagreed horribly with my Windows NT virtual
window manager. Most have free trials so you can try before you
buy.

Altho' if your provider is one that just tosses everyone in your
neighbourhood onto a subnet together, you'll be open to a bunch of people
sniffing your traffic. It's better practice to get a second network card
and actually isolate the traffic. Your provider might also appreciate
having you isolate the traffic on your side of their router.

Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 16:25:58 +0100
Hi,
I'm running a RH5.1 server for my internal LAN and a cablemodem.
Everything works quite fine, but after half an hour the DHCP lease
expires (as stated in /etc/dhcpc/hostinfo-eth0). After 15 minutes the
machine tries to renew the address, but I get the following messages (as
taken from /var/log/syslog)
sendmail[332]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.1) failed:1

Why does the sendmail line doesn't work and why the hell can't I renew
my ip address?? At boot time it works fine and I get an ip, and all my
LAN-machines can reach the internet... What do I have to do to succeed
these renewals?
Help would be enormously appreciated, I spent almost a month getting the
firewall up and working (newbie ;o) ), and now this....

Subject: DHCPD with dynamic DNS update
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 18:56:07 +0100
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've modified the standard dhcpd to make automatic DNS updates. My version of
dhcpd is very, very Alpha at the moment, but it seems to work on my machine.
The principle: when granting a lease, dhcpd calls a script with the following
parameters: the client-IP, it's hardware address, and the interface name. The
script can be used to update the dns database.
Since I'm not very good at writing shell-scripts, I didn't write a script at
all ;-) This renders this software completely useless for the moment.
If you want to help develop or test the dhcp server or the script, visit my
home-page at http://www.xs4all.nl/~hensema/index-eng.html
If you're not a programmer, this software isn't for you.
If you've got any questions and/or remarks, post them in this group, or email

You will need ncpfs-2.0.10(version I have) to be able to access the Novell server. It
is very easy to
setup. Atleast for me it was. Some knowledge of how Novell works is helpfull. Anyway
try some of these
sites and get ncpfs. The IPX/Netware is what you need BTW so your half way there.

The hdc could be something else. Watch the bootup and see where your CD is located.
Use 'ls' for directory listings.

I had linux configured to work on our TCP/IP network and it worked for a
couple days and now it doesn't. I can ping my localhost as well as the eth0
ip but can't get to the next hop. I've noticed that when I issue the 'route
-e' command that it hangs for about 3-4 minutes as it tries to list the
'default' route. My routing table if very basic with only a local loopback
route, one class-c network route and a 'default' route.
Can someone answer these few questions, I've done my homework but I can't seem
to find out the following.
1) On boot where does linux get its information on routes to initialize?
2) Although I don't have routed running my system seems to add a couple weird
routes after it has been running a while. What can be creating these routes?
3) When I use 'route add' and 'route delete' where is this information written
to so that it can access it at the next boot time?
Thanks for any info you people might provide.

I had a 486 running redhat 5.2 online, no problems. Then, I
upgraded
it by changing the motherboard and processor (k6-2), adding RAM
and
a pci video carde (s3 virge). Same WD8003/WD8013 NIC, same
cable, same
hub, same office.
I brought the box back, plugged it in, and no connection. The
NIC
is operating, the system sees it, the cable is operating (I put
it
in my wintel box just to make sure), but I can't ping any
machines.
I checked all the IP numbers (mine is correct, 129.79.1.1 and
129.79.5.100 nameservers, 129.79.123.254 gateway). I reinstalled
linux (twice). host and domain are correct.
ifconfig eth0 returned:
> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C0:EA:65:70
> inet addr:129.79.xxx.xxx Bcast:129.79.123.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

What am I missing here? I'd appreciate any help so I can get my
class server online again ...
