i have an obscure make of monitor, called 'bluepoint'., this has
cuased
problems with linux redhat. it was ok until i wanted to chenge the
resolution. then i dicovered it wouldnt let me for this type of
monitor. in the setup program it had it just as a generic monitor.
so i changed it to generic multisync and this worked and i could
chenge the resolution. but i curves in at the side, in a funny kinda
shape. i dont really know what to do about it. i dont want to go
back to the generic
(low resolution) one.

Short answer: in a newer kernel :) The module is actually part of the
kernel, not "driver"-like code.
What distribution (and version) of Linux are you using? Perhaps
upgrading to the kernel which comes with a newer version would be a good idea.

Hi Peter,
You should check and make sure that the sbin directory is in your search path.
Do an echo $PATH (or env, which will display all of your environment variables).
The output will show you the PATH variable, which will be a list of directories
separated by colons. The shell uses the directories stored in this variable to
search for commands; if the command you try to execute is not in the search
path, the shell won't find it. You can add a directory to your search path with
the following commands (using your example):
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin -- for bash
or
set path = ($PATH /sbin)-- for csh

There is an OSS driver that allows this chipset to work perfectly. I had it
on my old motherboard and it went in like a dream once I found the driver.
Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the driver from and I know it
cost me $10 to get the full version of the drivers. I think the site was
4front technologies (www.4front-tech.com or something similar) but I could
be wrong. If you don't want to pay the money I think there is a free driver
around somewhere but I can't help you with that.

System:
Mandrake 7.1
Kernel 2.2.15-4mdk
pcmcia-cs-3.1.44
addtron AWP-100 PCMCIA Card
Sony Vaio P-540
I built the module from the cdrom. Followed direction (in word formatof
all things). The file 11-driver226.gz is a tgz. Had to link
pcmcia-cs-3.1.44 from kernel tree to /usr/src/ for the make files to
work.
In order to get card to work, I had to modify:
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
PCIC_OPTS=cs_irq=7
Without this the card locked Linux up tight most times. This was true
for a network card (ambicom) until I added the above and build the
ambicom drivers. I rebuild the the system, and did not need the above
again until this card. Other PCMCIA cards work wel (network, modem,
CF).
Driver files are dated: Feb 7 2000
Card worked fine in Windows. Worked fine in Linux.
As I test the range though, When I move quickly the machine locks up in
the kernel (panic copied below).
Card light stays on.
Things are locked tight. Each time this happen I am walking with the
device. Once I was at a reasonable range limit, the other time I was
walking upstairs.
Any way to prevent this? I could upgrade the kernel, pcmcia patched, to
Mandrake 7.2 (which runs 2.2.17). Is there a better/newer driver?
Do other wireless devices do this?

Can I just unplug one's power cable, leaving the flat data cable still

or must I unplug both power and data cables to avoid IDE protocol
interference, etc.?
It's the opposite. You can leave power to both of them - that won't
interfere with anything unless you are specifically troubleshooting a
power supply problem.
It's the IDE cable you'll want to remove to "remove" that drive.
There's also the possibility of having to change your jumpers around
quite a bit with this type of troubleshooting.
Hmm. I guess either way would work OK - the easiest solution, if you have
newer hard drives is to set both to "auto" with their jumpers (rather than
setting one to master and one to slave and having to constantly re-jumper
them). You MIGHT still have to go into your BIOS every time to upgrade the
drive listing...depends on the BIOS.
Personally, I'd rather be unplugging the power cable than the IDE - less
chance of damaging one of those nasty little pins...but then, I'm clumsy!

Subject: Red Hat 7.0 Joystick
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 04:07:40 GMT
The emu10k1 drivers for Red Hat 7.0 do not support the joystick port. I
upgraded from 6.2 to 7.0. In 6.2, a line after the emu10k1 line in
/etc/conf.modules was needed:
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
options emu10k1 joystick=0x200
This no longer works in 7.0. Moreover, the /etc/conf.modules file is now
/etc/modules.conf. The solution for me was to get the drivers from
opensource.creative.com (version 20001117) and simply do 'make' in the
main emu10k1 directory. After the 'make' look for a module file called
'emu10k1-joy.o' and copy it to /lib/modules/2.2.16-22smp/misc (I have an
smp system; just remove the 'smp' if you have a single processor
system). Then do 'depmod -a'. Now do 'insmod emu10k1-joy io=0x200'. Note
that I did not use the compiled emu10k1.o module but the default one
from my initial Red Hat 7.0 install.
To automate this process of inserting the modules, in your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file, add this line:
/sbin/insmod emu10k1-joy io=0x200
so that the joystick port gets enabled. Since I have an MS-Sidewinder, I
also have the following line below the one just above:
/sbin/modprobe joy-sidewinder
which is equivalent to:
/sbin/insmod joystick
/sbin/insmod joy-sidewinder

Yes and no, respectively. You need to focus on the hardware and software

Problem is with Linux boot on same machine. Linux details: RedHat 6.2.
Upgraded to kernel 2.2.16. 3c905 driver compiled into kernel. Good
load of driver in dmesg, but *not eth0*. After boot, logged in as root,
ifconfig only shows lo. So I issue
How did you configure your NIC (using linuxconf, or manually)?
What's in your /etc/sysconfig/network and network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
files? I have a bunch of HP Vectras around me, all with 3C905-TX cards -
they're running w/out problems.

Can you still do without apt, or have they gone the way of RedHat and
made their distros package-manager dependant? I'm thinking of switching to
Debian, but I don't want to get stuck with a commercialized version of
Linux that may or may not become a success.
