Subject: Matrox Mystique card: X.11 server crash after some seconds
Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2000 22:19:48 +0100
I try to run X.11 with a Matrox Mystiqe , 2 MB card and installed
SuSE-Linux 7.0. It was possible to install the card with xf86config and with
sax2. Starting with "startx" works well, the X.11 screen comes up either
with SuSE window manager or with KDE. After some seconds mostly in a moment
when I try to switch from one X.11 application to an other the screen is
frozen but I can move with the mouse around. The mouse is a serial mouse.
Switching back to one of the consoles CTRL/ALT/F1..6 is not anymore
possible. Accessing the computer via telnet or ssh is possible. I can kill
the x-server but without any effect on the screen itself. Reboot over the
network (telnet) is possible but I have to run reboot twice.
Any idea?
Kind regards
Peter

I'm setting-up an embedded processor that has modems on both
serial ports. When the system boots, console messages are sent
out ttyS0 causing the modem to become unresponsive.
How do I direct console message somewhere that won't affect the
serial ports? I tried adding "console=tty9,9600" as an append to
lilo.conf. The kernel still uses ttyS0. Perhaps it needs a real
serial device but both are being used.

Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2000 17:46:16 +0800
Dear All,
My box have 3 nic installed , I would like to use this box as my firewall
with DMZ,
Those card was loaded up successfully during LILO. And I have assigned the
following IP for each interface as follow :
============================================================================
=================
eth1 : 168.168.1.254 ----- For our Private LAN (Intel EtherExpress Pro100)
netmask: 255.255.0.0
network: 168.168.0.0
broadcast: 168.168.255.255
eth2 : 168.168.2.254 ----- For our DMZ (Intel EtherExpress Pro100)
netmask: 255.255.0.0
network: 168.168.0.0
broadcast: 168.168.255.255
eth2 : x.x.x.x --------------- Which is our public IP (3c905B-TPO)
Also, I have set up 2 PC for test using crossover Cat5.
PC1 (simulate as Private LAN client)
- connect to the "eth1"
- and the IP is 168.168.1.10
netmask: 255.255.0.0
network: 168.168.0.0
broadcast: 168.168.255.255
gateway : 168.168.1.254
PC2 (simulate as DMZ's server)
- connect to the "eth2"
- and the IP is 168.168.1.10
netmask: 255.255.0.0
network: 168.168.0.0
broadcast: 168.168.255.255
gateway : 168.168.2.254
============================================================================
=================
After those setup, I started try to ping those test PC at the Firewall
box.
but just the PC2 have response.. The interrupts of those eth0 and eth1 are
keep
increasing.... so, will this is the routing problem or what other else ??
Does anyone experienced this wired things b4 ??
Thank

RS232 Communication could be done in SW, you'd need
minimum 2 free port pins and you will need a driver
written to use this pins as UART. Further you'll
need a converter to RS232 Level, (most people will
use MAX232 | friends for that) to convert TTL to RS232.
If you need handshake you need another 2 pins,
if you need some other stuff, 1 pin for each.
some reasons why you might not want to do this:
-software UART is CPU expensive
-developing and testing such drivers is expensive
(maybe there already is one?)
another option you might have:
you could use some bilateral CMOS Switches to
redirect the serial port of the �C at runtime.
redirect the serial port in Hardware to
an additional debug DSUB Connector, this way you could
watch it booting. When booting is done the serial port
is redirected to the modem and everythings fine.
Redirecting is done by a bilateral CMOS Switch,
Maybe there is a simple way to reject the serial message
in software, but might have a hard time in debugging/testing of such a
system.

Well, maybe not. I'm concerned that the BIOS only sees 32 megs. That
might indicate mismatched ram types between the sticks, nanoseconds, etc.
Let's see if the lilo append fixes it, if not, get back with us and we will
try to find it.

I got a PC that has the ForeRunner LE ATM adapter on it. Since the
hardware configuration is standard on all these machines on campus, i
figure that must reflect the type of network I am on here. My question is
how to get this to work with Linux. The machine came with Windows, and I
installed RedHat6.0 on it. but if I boot into Linux the networking doesn't
work, despite that I've put in all the requred info (IP, etc). Is it
becuase I need a special driver for this network card? and is that all?
and where can I find the required software?
Thanks for any help! I'm stuck with Windows becuase of this!

Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2000 23:53:50 +0100
Hallo!
Ich hab Schwierigkeiten, KDE 2.0 mit gcc 2.95.2
auf einem Sun-Rechner mit Solaris 2.7
zu installieren. Beim Linken meldet der Linker
irgendwann, da� er eine kdelib nicht mit
libstdc++ linken kann, da irgendwelche text
relocations bleiben (denn libstdc++ liegt nur
als statische lib libstdc++.a vor, und deren
objects sind nicht mit -PIC kompiliert).
Was kann ich tun? Gibt's irgend einen workaround?
Ich denke mal, das Problem m��te auf vielen
nicht-PC-Linuxen und Unixen auftreten, auf denen
verschiebbarer Code nicht der Standard ist.
n/b: Ich hab gcc 2.95.2 als Bin�rversion installiert,
kann libstdc++ also nicht mit -fPIC neu kompilieren....

Hello!
I'm experiencing difficulties installing KDE 2.0
with gcc 2.95.2 on a Sun box running Solaris 2.7.
At link-time ld complains that he can't link some
kdelib against libstdc++, because some text
relocations remain (because libstdc++ is only
available as static libstdc++.a and the objects
inside are not compiled with -fPIC for position
independent code).
What can I do? Is there any kind of workaround?
I guess the problem should be there on many
non-PC Linuxes and Unixes where position
independent code is not standard.
n/b: I have gcc 2.95.2 installed as a binary
package so I can't recompile libstdc++ with -fPIC
to avoid the problems.
Please send your hints to

Many thanks in advance...

You need to compile the kernel with physical memory set from 1Gb to 2Gb,
also I think you need to enable BIGMEM support....
basically recompile your kernel with the correct options :-)
Good luck.

I am starting to install RH7 and I am having the same problem (really more
of an inconvenience) I had with 6.2. I am having to use text mode to do the
install because the video settings used by the graphic installation mode
will not sync on my monitor. Is there any way to change the video mode or

The above can configured through linuxconf or netconfig in Drakconfig . Pump

Just a shot into the dark -- years ago I'd the same problem,
say the same error came up and what cause it was the C++
library.
So if it's not too much ado try the libstdc++ that comes
with 6.2. Set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /tmp for instance
if you can put it there and give it a try.
With RH 7.0 the problem might be even simpler as in my
case as then the C++ libraries were assumed to be compatible
which might not be the case RH 6.2 -> RH 7.0.
Hope it helps, but I'm not a RH user,

Subject: Zip disk auto mount
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 18:58:16 -0500
Hi, everybody,
I am trying to convince my RH6.2 to auto mount a zip disk regardless
of the filesystem type it has. I want to be able to mount a FAT/EXT2
zip disk by simply typing 'mount /mnt/zip'. I thought that this single
line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/zip /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner 0 0
was supposed to do the trick (especially the 'auto' entry) but it does
not work. The standard solution, i.e. 'mount /mnt/doszip' and
'mount /mnt/linuxzip', works if I add to /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/linuxzip ext2 noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/doszip vfat noauto,user 0 0
What annoys me most is that on my machine at home I have the
same setup and it works.
The only relevant difference I can think of is that my home
machine had a fresh install of RH6.2 while the one I am trying
on now has been upgraded since RH6.0. The version of mount
on both, however, is the same.
I would appreciate any suggestions...

I don't know about Debian, but I would try to run sndconfig under Red Hat.
It configures your sound cards and /etc/conf.modules to load the appropriate
sound modules. If you are lucky, this would be the only thing you need to do.
If you don't even have the sound modules compiled, then you will have to
go through the fun of recompiling the kernel. For more info, check the
Kernel HOWTO: http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

That sounds painfully familiar. I had the same problem with 6.1 and 7.0.
Funny enough 6.2 installed fine. Then I realized that sometimes my
monitor catches up with the very (low?) frequencies and sometimes
it can't. When it couldn't, I had to switch it off, wait for a while and
then turn it on again. Not that I recommend this as a solution --
it didn't work all the time either.
Luckily, my roommate had an old monitor that worked just fine. So,
I guess, if you have an older monitor around, give it a try.
