Re: Voodoo Banshee ANYBODY?
I run potato and X-3.3.6, I don't think it'll run on X4.0 get it at www.creative.com/support/files/download.asp select your region and beta files for 3D Blaster Banshee. Don't run the install script, it will not work. Follow the instructions and do it by hand except for the X symlinks stuff (don't do any of the two). Just add the path of the driver on the first line in /etc/X11/Xserver. You will have to edit your new XF86Config file the way your original one was to make it work.

Canon itself seems very reluctant to post ANY information on Linux Support :-( We are stuck with unsupported hardware... From the man-page for the sane-project: ( http://www.mostang.com/sane/man/sane-canon.5.html) No parallel port and USB scanners are supported and there are no plans to support them in the future. Also, this scanner does not show in USBView, it just reports an error on /proc/ I have a N650U which reports OK with USBView, do you have another USB device on your system and if so does it shows as it should?

Re: Couldn't get a free page
Yes, I am using 2.0.33 and I can say that my system is lightly loaded. Since this only happens on forced check I can live with a reboot once in a while...my previous system was win95 ;) Thanks This is common with 2.0.33, is that the kernel version you are using? Also, just to make folks aware of the situation, I have gotten some really weird filesystem corruption with 2.0.33 that has (thankfully) always been corrected by a reboot but I really do not like rebooting these systems as I do not have physical access to them. I have dropped back to 2.0.32 for all systems I maintain except the ones I have ready physical access to. It does not seem to be a problem on the lightly loaded systems, just the ones that are being pounded rather hard. BTW, there are constant reports of memory corruption and OOPSies on the kernel list for 2.0.33 with busy systems. The general rule of thumb is that unless there is some feature of 2.0.33 that you simply can not live without, use 2.0.32. -- -- Serge Delorme ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berthierville, Quebec Canada ABUSUS NON TOLLIT USUM -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
