modprobe joydev
modprobe serport
inputattach -xxx /dev/tts/X &
modprobe stinger

I have no idea what the options for the inputattach command should be.
There is a website at http://www.suse.cz/development/input/ that should
have the inputattach utility if you don't have it compiled.  (NOTE:  All
this stuff is in /usr/src/linux-2.4.4/Documentation/joystick.txt )

Also make sure that /dev/input/js0 is major 13 and minor 0.

you paid several thousand dollars for hardware which was not made to
work with your particular setup and never made any claims to.  this
illustrates to me that you are a fucking retard.  who cares what
'other vendors' do with their hardware they are not sgi and they did
not make the 1600SW so that point is moot.

what it comes down to is that you are yet another whiny linux motherfucker
who expects and demands everything under the sun work with their particular
cobbled together linux setup.

try xev, look for keycodes/symbols of the keys and edit .xmodmaprc
and/or /etc/X11/Xmodmap (or whatever the equivalent files on your
system). the keysyms can be mapped to events (eg. in the gnome control
panel, don't know about applications)
i added this to my /etc/X11/Xmodmap:

! windoof keys
keycode 115 = Undo
keycode 117 = Menu

and mapped Undo to gnome's launch "Run Programm" and Menu to pop up
gnome's root-menu.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,

first the symptoms, what I get with dmesg is about this:

scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 32155, scsi0, channel 0, id
0, lun 0 Write (10) 00 00 2e b8 7c 00 00 08 00

I know, there've been similar postings to this ng in the recent past,
one of them suggesting to turn of apic in kernel with append="noapic" in
/etc/lilo.conf. I tried this because I've got a i840 chipset and 2 PIIIs
which can sometimes cause that kind of trouble. Unfortunately, this
wasn't much help.

So, has anybody got an idea what other reason might cause such errors? I
suspect this could be the result of a failed fsck-session because this
failure (accompanied by hdd activity and several seconds of
zero-responsitivity [e.g. mouse hangs]) occures especially when
accessing certain files. I assume the hex code behind the message above
is the track address of the bad block...

Please, could somebody enlighten me?

BFN, Christoph Pohl

Put the card in different slots maybe. I just installed that D-Link
card and it was set to IRQ 12. I don't use a PS/2 mouse and had it
disabled in the BIOS. The card seemed to work fine in Linux but
with BeOS I'd get lockups as soon as I tried to do any net activity.
Put it in another slot (now IRQ 9) and it works fine.

Assuming you don't want to share any IRQs try different slots

For a list of supported XFree86 cards, goto http://www.xfree86.org. Pay
attention to the supported card list because a lot of cards are supported in
version 3.x but have not been completely ported over to version 4.x yet.

Savage chipsets are supported under XFree86 v3.x, but some haven't been
ported to version 4.x yet.

I've had my CD-ROMs for quite some time so I haven't had a chance to
test any DVD ROMs out.  If you go to http://www.linux.org or
http://www.redhat.com you can find a list of compatible hardware.  The
lists tend to be reasonably up to date for mainstream devices.

I can't yet recommend my modem 'cause I haven't gotten around to
finishing my PPP setup.  I'm going through AT&T and they use CHAP
authentication and I haven't gotten that set up right yet.  Too much to
do, not enough time.  I use a Diamond SupraExpress 56i V.90.  It works
under Windoze but so does a winmodem...

I can make a difference, if you are using a really old monitor.  Just
make sure you have the manual so you can find the refresh rates for
various resolutions.  I don't know if the Vewsonic is listed in the
"standard" monitor list.

Hi Folks,

Well, that is the question - will a modem on a USB port work with linux.
Seems I have a winmodem (combined with sound card) on the inside of my
computer.

So I am wondering if I should try and locate and external modem - for a USB
port or a serial port.

Thanks in advance

Redhat 5.1 and 5.2 - with one caveat - if you plan on dualbooting the
system and it's an ATX, you need to completely power down the system
(including the switch in back) before booting up into Linux after
being in the other OS. Otherwise the card will announce that it's NIC
ID is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF or something similar. It also won't work. 

Rebooting Linux into Linux works fine btw - perfectly normal. It's
just when (in my case) you are exiting NT 4.0 in order to boot up
Linux that you need to do a total shutdown.
