Re: Telling Emacs how to use Alt as Meta
Hi Joerg, to answer you question let me attache the answer I got when I asked the same question quite some time ago. Works perfectly for me every time I updated ;-) On Tue, Dec 05, 2000 at 11:53:04AM +0100, Joerg Johannes wrote: > > I can understand you. The next keyboard I'll buy won't have those > > nasty keys.

What's happened is that you've upgraded X and now you are using the XKEYBOARD extension. As you've noticed, the ALT key now does ALT and the "windows" key is now the META key. I've argued several times that this is a bug since it changes behavior. Alas no one listens to this raving madman.

Re: Soundblaster AWE64
Hi Nils-Erik, the Tip using ALSA was great, now it works more or less. But two problems remain, perhaps someone can help me solving these: 1. I can't use programms like gmix anymore, even the volume-control in xmms doesn't work. Before you told me about ALSA, I got it to work with the normal kernel-modules, there the gmix and volume-control of xmms worked fine. 2. Somehow, my sound sounds ;-) a little bit tinny, not that quality I normally would expect. With some songs I have very strong fluctuations concerning the volume of music and voice, sometime the voice becomes that quiet that you can't hear it anymore. And the overall volume fluctuates also very much, strange? I thought about DMA or IRQ conflicts, but that doesn't seem to be the case (/proc/interrupts and /proc/dma) This was also the case the time before ALSA stepped into my life ;-) Does anybody have an idea?? -- Bye Mitch. ------- / Michael Symalla(Uni-Dortmund Physik E5) \ / DESY HERA-B Bldg.66/1 office phone: 040/8998 4985 \ / Notkestr.85Fax.: 040/8998 4033 \ / D-22607 Hamburgprivate phone: 040/5000857 \ / PGP Key on keyservers or via mail: Subject: send pgp \ --- c:\winnt> secure_nt.exe Securing NT.

Re: Soundblaster AWE64
Hi, I think that won't solve my problem as my AWE64 is not an pci device ;-( As far as I understood the help for the es1370 driver, it is for pci soundcards.

Soundblaster AWE64

Re: kernel 2.2.14, can't locate module
Hi Martin, I did it that way and now he not longer complains about missing modules, great! But now my 3com network adapter (which is included in the kernel) is not longer initialized, so no eth0 ;-) with 2.0.36 this was a module and everything worked fine, but how do start the network adapter now? An easy solution might be to compile it also as a module, but there must be another way, or am I wrong?

kernel 2.2.14, can't locate module
Hi! I just tried to update my kernel from 2.0.36 to 2.2.14. Compiling, mpkg and dpkg worked fine, but when I try to boot the new kernel it always claims that it can't locate some modules. The funny thing is, that he misses modules (like 3c59x for my network adapter) which I have definitly NOT compiled as a module! Even if I compile the kernel without modules at all, the same story happens. After installation of the kernel there exists a /lib/modules/2.2.14/ directory with the modules I want in it. Can anyone help me to solve this problem, I have really no ideas what to do anymore. Thanks a lot in advance. -- Bye Mitch. --- / Michael Symalla(Uni-Dortmund Physik E5) \ / DESY HERA-B Bldg.66/1 office phone: 040/8998 4985 \ / Notkestr.85Fax.: 040/8998 4033 \ / D-22607 Hamburgprivate phone: 040/5000857 \ / PGP Key on keyservers or via mail: Subject: send pgp \ --- c:\winnt> secure_nt.exe Securing NT.

nestcape crashes afterstep
Dear Debian-Users,
I have a very disturbing problem with communicator 4.5 and afterstep. My
Nestcape crashes VERY often (a few times a day), even I have switched of
Java and stuff like that. The Problem is that nothing will be displayed
anymore in the netscape window and that I can't close the window the
"normal" way, so I must use kill. Even killing -9 or -15 all netscape
processes doesnet help. When I kill the window with the menu option my
afterstep closes and I have to log in from xdm again. Any suggestions
what I can do??

Bye
Mitch

rxvt
Dear Debian-Experts, i have changed all my xterms against rxvt because it looks nicer with the scrollbar and the colours (for example in pdmenu). But when I have opened to much rxvt's I can't open anymore, the only message I recieve is rxvt: can't open pseudo-tty rxvt: aborting So, how can I change this or does anyone know a good xterm replacement with the properties mentioned above? -- Bye Mitch

saint & netscape
Dear Debian Users, i just tried to get saint running. It tells me that I should run it as root (what is ok) and it will start netscape (which seems to be not okay). The problem is, that netscape will not be started as root saying /usr/bin/X11/netscape: Cannot be run an root (for security reasons).
